If its a good house for a good price you buy it, if not you dont. Free market people. These anti-flipper people should go work in the white house where they can demonize snake flippers along with those evil insurance companies lol
Your comparison to houses doesn't make sense. You normally go see a house and check it out. You have it inspected. You can check out its history. It's a fairly long and drawn out process where you have plenty of opportunities to back out if the mojo is bad. When you're buying reptiles online you can do some due diligence but there's always the chance that when you open the box it may not be what you expected. That's when it comes down to whether the person you're dealing with is a good guy.

And yes, you can flip snakes/reptiles. Buy 20 snakes for 20 dollars each and turn around and sell them off for 40 dollars each and you've just flipped 20 snakes!

Flipping can be good or bad depending on how the breeder/seller conducts the whole deal...
