Bringing into and out of Canada is not a big deal - it is the US Fish and Wildlife that has the stiff regulations - they require a lot to take reptiles out of or bring them into the US. It has the potential to be a big issue for someone driving herps back to the US because Customs would likely be aware of the F & W regs that need to be met including inspection at designated ports or making arrangements for their F & W officers to come to the port to inspect and verify. Plenty of paperwork to be done in advance to move even colubrids INTO the US.
Not to discourage you from buying from Tim - he has some great animals! Just don't want you to lose it when you try to get through the border.
