To the OP, I would absolutely walk away from this deal. There are simply way too many quality, reputable breeders out there selling excellent examples of countless morphs for you to drop $500 on this snake. Why would you run the risk? No matter what that snake is (and having any doubt is always a bad thing), it's overpriced.
Have you not checked out the fuanaclassifieds? Or kignsnake marketplace? Spend some time looking through the ads; if you see a snake that piques your interest, cross-reference the buyer's name in the fauna BOI. Or ask around here.
I did months of research before buying my bp, and was able to put together a list of nearly 30 reputable breeders from across the country who I had full confidence in. I knew they had quality snakes and fair pricing. If you'd like, send me a PM and I can forward you the list I put together. When spending hard-earned money, there's simply no reason to have to resort to a "is this snake really a _______ morph?" thread to determine what you're looking at.

A few folks have now suggested checking faunaclassifieds and kingsnake marketplace, which I have done. Maybe its irrational of me, but I feel more comfortable buying a snake that I've seen in person. I've also periodically checked Craigslist but haven't found anything yet. That having been said, I know I'm also not patient enough to wait for something to hit Craigslist.

Another option is going to a reptile expo. There you'll be able to look at the snakes, hold them, etc. You can also compare a ton of snakes! I'm going to the NARBC in August I'm hoping to bring home a snake or two for my collection.

That's not at all irrational. I purchase plenty of things online - clothes, toys, electronics, food, firearms - but I'm also still new enough to snakes that I prefer to put eyes and hands on the animal if possible before pulling out my wallet. What I did was look through FaunaClassifies and KingSnake to find reputable breeders within a 3-4 hour drive of me. I came up with about a dozen, so I just keep an eye on what they have for sale, and I travel to them if they have an animal I want.
