I've bought both my snakes from breeders through the internet. A reputable breeder should be able to answer any questions you throw at them. They should be well spoken, and clear on their terms/methods of shipping/payments. They should provide a picture and feeding/shed schedule of the snake you want to buy.
Of course there is a possibility you can get swindled, but just use your best judgement and you should do ok.
