No I haven't but your buying one of my all time favorite snakes...I LOVE Indo's ! In fact I am buying one also from a local Mom n Pop store but they wont release him for sale yet because of an eye issue, but once hes healthy I hope to have him home.

Please, once you get yours post pictures.

Hi Drum, I'm not sure but I believe that reptilecity may be one of the drop-ship companies which sells animals they do not have, and search for a 3rd party to send the animal over. Many times these animals are fresh WC and do not last long. Again, I'm not sure, its just a suspicion.

Ahhhhh, also commonly know as a Distributor. I would research and stand clear if this is true.

I addition, I have done some research, they are in fact not a breeder but a wholesaler and they have absolutely horrible reviews online...Id stand clear of hem.

I have read everything from poor packaging, very slow delivery and receiving sick animals.

I purchased my Albino Red Tail from them. He arrived safe and sound and with perfect colouring and patterning

There ya go ! A personal and favorable comment, as I said I never have dealt with them, but their reviews and reputation aren't great.

I guess sometime ya got to just roll the dice.
