Ok so just for example purpose here.A person wins one of the auctions for a ivory ball python female for $5.89 ok .Now the "breeder" drop ships it for ballbids to you in there name(ballbids) not his because its a secret of who is supplying them.Now the winner receives the ivory and without learning proper Quarintine practice(since ballbids doesnt know either they cant pass on the info) he puts it in his rack with his other 15 snakes.Then sadly 7 days later his whole ball python collection is dead because come to find out the ivory came from a breeder that has recently found out his collection is infected with IBD.So since the winner had no idea who the snake was coming from but if he did he would have avoided them all together.Who do you blame? Of course ballbids tells him you are SOL because it didnt come from us.Then since you have no clue who the snake came from your just SOL.So is this still ok to buy bids and possibly be this person?
