Hm... so they're just wanting money for the flight/ticket in trade for a pied... yeah def. Talk to them about how much the plane ticket is. Sounds really fishy.

They want you to pay their ticket to fly the snakes to you an bring them to your house in person? That's the deal they offered you or am I missing something.

Don't do it. Anything that has you paying for something unrelated like travel (even if it's "to bring the snake to you") would be an automatic no-go in my book. "Free" to me means no money spent on my part; it's not free if you're paying for THEIR travel. If you really want a pied, talk to a breeder or look for something actually in your area.

there is no shipping fee ive been talking with the guy for a while. He said he will send someone out with the babys and all i needed to do is pay for the guys plane ticket. but im not sure if thats a truthful thing or not. Why give away baby pied ball pythons?

The one photo isn't a pied at all, and the other only shows one- not fourteen. How did they wind up with that many to begin with? Are they a breeder? Do they have any references from another keeper? Assuming the pieds are ~$500 each that would be a value of $3500. How much is that plane ticket they're asking for? If theres a big discrepancy between the values, why wouldn't they just sell them for full value? How would the buyer be protected against loss if they never drop by the buyer's house?
Seems suuuuper shady to me.
