    I've purchased something like this before but it was also from someone that I've purchased from in the past. There is some additional work that may is needed for hatchlings that you purchase prior to their first shed or meal but if that information is provided to you up front, and you're confident in your own ability to get them eating, then go for it.

    Why does this make the seller irresponsible for selling them this way? You, as the buyer should be aware of your own abilities and whether or not you are willing to accept the risk of getting the snake eating or not. The prices is low for a reason, if they get the snake started, the price may double.
    Agreed. I just sold a 2 day old pastel to someone. Would I advertise one that way? Nope. This was a friend who breeds and has experience with starting new hatchlings himself.

    He asked if he could take him right away and assumed the risk. I was willing to hold him until I got him started myself.

    Would I let a 2 day old go to someone with no experience starting hatchlings? BIG fat no!
