shipping can be stressful for a snake, but guess how they get to pet stores? yup, shipped.
You need to give a new snake a week to get used to its surroundings no matter what, and shipping is pretty much unavoidable unless you have a local breeder. See if there are any small clean reliable pet stores. ask them about the ball pythons and see if they can show you them eating and handle them (before the eating part, lol) they often can help you with a setup if you get a snake there too.
Again, where do you live? maybe people can find some good local breeders that can help you out!
