I recently purchased two female ball pythons from Ed, and wanted to put in a good word for him.
This was the first time I'd bought live animals online, and I was a little hesitant (my previous snakes have been picked up directly from the breeder), but he seemed pretty knowledgeable. He communicated promptly, shipped them as he'd promised and gave me the tracking number. When FedEx screwed up and didn't deliver them on time, I let him know and he immediately got on the phone with the company, tracked them down, and called me at work to let me know exactly what was going on. They arrived a day late, but in great shape, and the delay was quite demonstrably FedEx's fault, not his. Throughout the transaction, he was competent and on the ball. I would definitely purchase from him again.
