Well I cant tell you who to sell you animals to, but i strongly advise not buying from him.
I contacted him about 2 animals (female Burms)
He stated the two animals were still in stock and that they were healthy and that one may bea ble to breed this winter. The other would need an additional year. I checked the BOI and saw mixed reviews and they were a good price so I decided to buy them. Anyways I called UPS and they said that they could hold the box there and i would be able to pick it up there with a tracking number. Something got screwed up and it was delived to my house anyways. I got home from work for lunch and noticed that the box was rater small to hold 2 burms one big enough to breed this fall (neil stated lager than a coke can arround) and a second animal. Then i picked up the box and knew right away it was empty. I opened the box and sure enough empty no bags that the snakes could have escaped from or packaging nothing. I immeditaly called him and told him the issue. Neil stated that he had placed the animals in the box and that he had all of his UPS lables preprinted for 1 pound and that it would be reweighed at the UPS facility and it would show that he shipped the animals. (ok whatever) He then accused me of trying to screw him over saying that he didnt ship the animals and that I was trying to get free animals. Anyways he has been nothing but a dick to me lately see the latest ill forward those next. I put a claim in with UPS and Discover UPS will not do anything because on there live animals section ALL snakes are prohibited. We will see what discover says.

To think......
I just moved and missed seeing this shipment myself by just a couple of days.
To think......these animals were being bought basically because of me.
To think.....he usually opens up his shipments in front of me.....how I wish I could have been there to see this empty box for myself.....that way I can TOTALLY fry someone.
p.s. I do not know much about snakes..... but in my world...... a burm that is larger than a coke can around is not ready to be bred. perhaps if it was as large or larger than a coke bottle.....then definately.
pps. buy a scale..... that way you do not run the risk of having them reweighed and possibly searched.
ppps. If they got searched..... then yeah the boxes woiuld be shipped without snakes.
ppppss And if they were shipped without any snakes..... and you thought you could just take some nobody along for a ride.... you got another thing coming. Because I am scheduled to go back to Maryland to take care of business in a couple of months. Guess whos house I will be staying at? Guess whos snakes I will be checking out? So yeah I will witness this first hand.
