There are LOTS of sick and neglected animals.
But craigslist is also where we found a semi-local breeder that has some of the nicest snakes I've ever seen.
So like I said, don't completely rule it out, just be really careful. If something doesn't look or feel right, pass on it.

My point being that as a FIRST time snake owner (just handled first snake EVER recently), the OP does not have the knowledge/experience to correctly ascertain a proper animal from the likes of CL. Even buying from a petstore is iffy with the lack of experience, but marginally better than the free for all of CL. Personally, I'd choose an animal from a breeder or expo for my first experience.

Holy crap I didn't even see that one.
Is that post for real or a joke ?

Probably trolling. It's his first post
