Obviously a terminology issue which is fine, he obviously does not realize that a rat pup is 2 weeks old with eyes open and weighing between 20 and 30 grams not your first meal for a BP.

Did he give you an hatch date?

Here is what I found

Ultimately YOUR decision.

I've seen people define feeder sizes differently, even commercial vendors will vary, especially once you get up to XL, XXL, Jumbo, etc. rats. My main concerns are whether or not the critter is eating, what it's eating (rats vs mice), and whether it takes f/t since I prefer that over live.

As for researching sellers I wrote this up a while back, you may find it useful:

The old excuse of I don't want anyone to take their money back :rolleyes:.....more like someone wants to do business but does not want to pay fees, paying fees is the cost of doing business and what he does is against Paypal's TOS.

Find someone else there are tons of honest people out there that do business the right way without violating another company's terms and offering protection.

There are a ton of spinner blast BP's on Morph Market and they're all in about the same price range. I would purchase from a seller who accepts either credit cards or PayPal G&S.

Just want to step in and say that some people don't distinguish between rat pups and fuzzies/crawlers. There's a local breeder here I live who runs a pet store and they aren't on the menu. There's nothing between pinkies and pups and his "pups" are anywhere from fuzzy to almost weaned. They tend to be on the smaller side though, which is frustrating when I want a real pup. His snakes are always in great condition, but I only buy rodents from him when I can't get them anywhere else.

That said, I'd never send money friends and family. I was asked once and I took my business elsewhere. I don't think I'd buy from someone who got the birth year wrong either. Obvious mistakes like that typically turn me off from ever inquiring about an animal.

go with a real pro in my opinion. I went with a very well-known and admired professional breeder for my breeding stud. If I was just buying a pet and not a high-end stud, I would not be as picky, but I would still lean towards someone with a professional manner.

I am firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and prefer to pay more for a snake, if the breeder is very professional and the animal seems healthy and high-quality.

I’m really not planning on breeding, I’m just a reptile enthusiast, I have a couple beardies, a gecko and noodle, but (don’t tell my other reptiles) I just really fell in love with snakes, I really appreciate all the help and all the comments and opinions and I’ll use that to look for hopefully my next baby, I feel like I learned a lot today and I couldn’t appreciate you guys more, I’ll keep you updated on my little one, I’ll for sure have her or him by the 10th!

Absolutely no business with people who expect FnF payment, imho. Too risky, no recourse. Nevermind that it's against the TOS.
