Im buying my first BP soon. On Monday if things work out. I used a semi-local internet site which is like a classifieds site for Toronto, which everyone in the area uses. Im only an hour away. I found a guy with three seemingly ideal pythons, and I emailed him. He has one left and im probably getting it, assuming I can get my gear together on time. He assures me its healthy, and from the picture it does look well, however I am aware that there are a fair amount of scammers, and it could be fake. It seems to be real, and he gave me his personal email account and seems nice and all, I was just wondering if there were any precautions Im not taking.

Also, assuming I get it, I live about two hours away from him. How should I transport the new guy? Can I hold him at all, do I use a pillowcase, or tupperware with holes in it? Should he provide something to carry it in?

Thanks so much,
