I'm on the recieving end, lol. I am purchasing an adult GTP from a breeder in Atlanta and we mutually agreed that we don't want to risk shipping up here to Michigan. We've had some lousy weather recently. We are both planning on going to Tinley in Chicago in the spring and I'll spend the winter building the habitat and pick him up then. It's a long wait, but I feel really good knowing my snake is safe and I'd rather wait and recieve a healthy snake. I'm glad the breeder feels the same way!
