Make sure they are legal to keep in your state, my brother had a baby mailed to him and as soon as it got into our state it was sent back to the shipper and a notice with NYS animal law was mailed to him instead. Best bet if it is illegal just get it at a show and keep it hush hush.

Prohibited Snakes in the state of NY:

* All venomous species as determined by the DEC
* Burmese Python (Python m. bivittatus)

Look up your local state laws if your having it shipped just in case.
