Well, yes and no. They can be more willing to answer more questions, but for several different reasons.

And what about reputation... is it only safe to buy from someone who has had many perfect transactions?

what about the person just starting out and trying to build that reputation? I'm not talking about sending someone you never heard of $10k first shot, but lets say for a $200 snake.

Personally I still think it's funny when someone talks about 'paperwork' to verify a het... I mean I understand this when albinos first came out many, many years ago... but these days? and what does paperwork really do? I can write papers that say all my snakes are het, does that really make it so? Even if they prove not to be and now you have these papers that said they were.. what can you really do with these papers?

just thinking out loud...
