I don't know.....
After I pay my money for a snake, I want it. I don't want to wait any more time (or I would have put it on the layaway).
I don't subscribe to the theory that I have to make a trip, buy a snake, have it die less than 24 hours later (and it's somehow my fault) and I should wait 6 weeks till I can get another cause he'll pay my way in the show.
btw: if all he had was one snake quarantine is a non-issue.
