Ordering snakes online . . .

I'm just researching some websites and I wanted to get people's opinion on this forum. I want to know if any of you have ordered any BPs online, which website, and if you were satisfied. I'm kind of cautious to do so, but I know someone who bought a snake at the reptile expo in ga on Oct. 25 and the snake died 3 days later. I'd like to know who to buy snakes from that gives some kind of guarantee. I'd prefer to hold the snake before I buy it, but I dont want to take a snake home and have it die. I live in GA so if you know any good local breeders that would be great too :gj:

I have purchased from NERD as well as Pro Exotics and have NEVER had a problem. Both were awesome! I've also purchased from smaller dealers on the web.

All of my experiences have been great.

In my own experience the only "large breeder" that I've dealt with and had animals shipped from were Alex Hue Reptiles (totally check him out he's got amazing prices on stonewashed pastels right now). His packaging was phenomanal (sp?lol) and the snakes I got were out of this world!

I've also bought from NERD but they are only 45 minutes from my house so I just went there to pick him out and pick him up :D.

Most "large breeders" offer a live arrival guarantee and guarantee the health of the animal for up to a week in most cases. Just read the fine print!

Hope this helps....

I have ordered online from 8ball, exotics by nature, nerd, and j&j with 100% satisfaction from all 4. Dont be afraid to do business online with a replicale breeder.

Ive bought from 8ball, RDR, NERD and Bluegrass Reptiles over the internet and got the snakes shipped to me. I also made some purchases from classified ads and picked up the snakes in person.

I feel confident if the breeders are reputable, the snakes would be quality. I would not hesitate to purchase online....

Depending on where you are in GA I can definitely recommend Albey. He has spectacular animals and is very helpful.
