Have you ordered snakes online?

[distaff]

Bought two of my three on-line. (Planning another for later this Summer.) Both excellent experiences, and the breeders in both cases had established credibility. In my experience, on-line is about the only way to get quality stock in uncommon animals. Good sources can be few and far between; my favourite breeder for fish is in Hawaii, and the only fish importer I trust is a guy in the Mid-west who hosts weekly on-line auctions. I don't go to shows.

Honestly, I would stay away from BigApple. Besides not being breeders, in the one transaction I know of (cornsnake forum), the snake does seem to have been mis-represented, and they gave the buyer an endless run-around.

The only hassle with on-line orders is that you do have to be home for FedEx.

Got my first at a petco in 08 (dealt with the mite scenario..)

2nd one bought in Michigan At a Royal oak reptile expo from Carl Aiken (my big Mojave girl)

3rd was 2 weeks ago from Garrick at Royal Constrictor Designs (my male killerblast)

Tomorrow I'm ordering 3 more from Garrick a male and 2 females.

Garrick is top notch.

What morph are you looking for? You don't have to answer if you want it to be a surprise lol

I have bought 3 of my bps locally, well it was a little bit of a drive for 2 of them. I'm getting a fourth in a week and it will be shipped from Garrick from royal constrictor designs. For my first online order for a snake he definitely made me feel really comfortable with my purchase and talked with me for quite some time about different pairing options and all the information about her. He even offers his cell for after hour calls which was a plus bc of my work schedule. I haven't received the snake yet but so far his customer service is A+++. If you want to see if he has what your looking for take a look at his site. Here is the link.

Just make sure you do your homework on the breeder and make sure they are reputable. Some of those reputable breeders even belong to this forum and respond to posts everyday.

I second the OP checking to see if Garrick has what they are looking for. I got my female pastave from him and had the same great experience you are having. Super helpful and friendly guy.

I bought my lemonblast from a breeder called Beach Ball Pythons. I found them through kingsnake.com, but they have their own website also. They were just as awesome as Garrick to deal with.

Perfect timing on this - I've got my eye on one being sold by RCD
