Buying off of craigslist

[BHReptiles]

Hello all! I'm still very new to the BP world and I'm trying too learn the certain breeds and morphs as much as I can. However, I have been hovering over craigslist for the last couple of weeks looking for that sweet deal, or that diamond in the rough. I think I have found a few but I am not knowledgeable enough because they are saying the BP are hets. What is the best way to go about finding out if the snake they are selling is truly a het.? Is there certain questions to ask? Certain things to look for? Any help for a newby would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Honestly, don't buy hets unless it's from a reputable breeder. A lot of times on Craigslist you find animals that are "het pastel" or "het spider" which are both co-dominant morphs and do not have hets. My advice to you is try to find a local breeder, attend a reptile expo, or buy from a breeder and have the snake shipped to you. Going with one of these options gives you a better chance of buying a healthy, quality animal. However, make sure you check the seller out on the board of inquiry on fauna ( http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=13 ) or the inquiry page on this forum to make sure they do not have a negative reputation.
