Thanks for the heads up. Yea, based on how he's advertising and how he answered an inquiry I had on the snake, it looks like he might just be be starting out. And, I myself am fairly new, and never heard of the seller.
I would never pay Friends & Family. There are several other snakes I am looking at as well, but if I go with this girl I would ask the seller to not use Friends & Family, and even offer to pay the paypal fee if that was his main concern.
