In person or not, if someone couldn't be honest with me enough to send me legit pics, I'm afraid I couldn't trust them to sell me a healthy animal either.Even if the snake appears healthy in person, that's not to say the owner has even been taking proper care of it (if they even have it). I will not buy from someone I cannot trust, regardless of how good the deal is. The "good deal" could bring something into my collection, regardless of quarantine, and to me there's no deal worth the health of my entire collection.
