You are right. Not all is bad on craigslist. But I am still leery about picking up a snake, or any live animal for that matter on craigslist, you just never know what you are going to get and what condition its in.
This pair was just too good of a deal to pass up. They both seem healthy, they are active and have a retic personality, always in your business. They are both clean, no bugs of any sort, seem to be a good weight. The guy I got them off of showed me the rest of his collection, which was a good thing and he had the on F/T which is even better.
