Hello all, I am new to fauna but i have been looking at the bps for sale and I really want to buy one. But due to many people having money or snakes stolen as ive read in some of the threads, im asking for tips and reliable sellers to turn to.
 
If you go to the BOI forum, you can check out vendors and see what purchasers have had to say about their transactions with particular vendors. That is sort of what you are asking here, so just go check it out yourself and you can decide whether a particular vendor is someone you would want to deal with.
 
Lucille is correct. There are a few extra things you can do to make your transactions a bit easier too. I would suggest asking for current weights and pictures of animals you are interested in. I also try to ask if the seller can provide some reference from other folks on Fauna that have made purchases from them. I would also recommend paying for animals with a credit card (make sure it is an actual credit card and not a check or debit card). This makes it so the payment can be traced and if you happen to get scammed, you can file a dispute with your credit card company.

For the most part, the folks around here are good people. The folks that aren't don't last long. I wish you luck in your animal searching!
 
Ditto....

I have been buying off of Fauna for pretty close to 10 years now. I have to agree with Josh and Lucille. There are some very good people here, but every once in a while, you have a bad apple (as with anywhere goods are bought and sold). Use the BOI and you should be good. Welcome to Fauna.
