    First online purchase have some questions.

    So I'm buying a new bp and I have some questions about making a purchase. So I am going to be making a down payment on a caramel albino this weekend and I want to know how to go about it.
    Like how am I guaranteed to actually get the snake after she's been paid off?
    Just trying to cover my bases. Don't wanna be the guy posting up that I got ripped off ya know. Any suggestions or experiences buy online would be appreciated.

    If you do it using paypal you can always dispute the payments and get your money back. But as other said^, i would make sure the seller is reliable.

    I have not ordered a snake online, but don't believe that asking for something in writing is out of line when shelling out that kind of money.

    I have found dogs online. The first we simply hand wrote a agreement and signed it and the second actually had a contract online that you got when making the deposit.

    I would contact them and talk about it. If they are good to go they would have no reason to agree to it, as long as you aren't being unreasonable.

    No breeders on here have ever had this pop up?

    I was scammed a few months back. I learned the hard way to only purchase from reputable people. If you have any doubts about the seller, move on.

    The breeder should have a website with their Terms of Service (TOS). That is the breeder's selling contract. Read it carefully. Also, after doing a BOI search, you can always ask the breeder for references and read through their Facebook page. That should give you an indication of how long the breeder has been around. Good luck!

    I found this guy on ks. And to me he sounds like a new breeder. He accepts PayPal and letting me do payments. No website :/

    Are your plans to breed her? Are you aware that most caramel females lay only slugs? The chance of getting viable eggs from her will be very low.
