    I am with those that something doesn't add up, so I will skip over the circumstances of possession. What I will weigh in on is how you, Kevin, should proceed. This is not a snake for a beginner period. When it is fully grown it will capable of causing you serious bodily harm if not kill you. It will require at least two people to handle safely, do you have someone who can help you? Preferably someone with experience with giant snakes. Also you will need a reliable source of large prey items, have you located this? You will need an enclosure with 4'x8' of floor space that is likely built by a professional as they are very strong animals. Do you have the money to support all it's housing, feeding, as well as medical needs?

    If you want my opinion you I think you should look at how to get a snake better suited to your experience level. I would first contact the breeder/seller and see if you can get your money back. If not try to rehome it to someone with more experience, possibly even trade for a smaller species. I think you would do well with a corn snake or ball python for your first snake, but there are many options.
