I bought a snake from a breeder at a local show that was selling some snakes from a good friend of his. He said that his friend just didn't have the proper licenses to sell them so he did it for him. I'm not sure if there really aren't any regulation on selling snakes online, but that sounds a bit off to me. There are so many rules with shipping live animals over state lines (or international lines) that I don't think it's too crazy that someone was doing illegal online sales.
