Im about to purchase an Albino Burmese Python in the next few weeks. I have 2 choices; first, my mom has a friend that ordered the python but he won't be able to give him the proper care it deserves, now here is the dilema, his python is would be shipping from Europe (dont ask. My second option is to buy it from a local pet store, which i've seen it eat and seen that it's healthy. Both have the same price and are almost the same size.
Which one should i buy?
a)Homless python in a few months and high expectations of bad care.
b)Local python with no problems.

1.0 Ball Python (Python Regius)
0.0.1 Brazilian Rainbow Boa (Epicrates Cenchria Cenchria)
1.0 Veiled Chameleon (Chamaleo Calyptratus)
0.0.2 Hermit Crabs
2.0 Emperor Scorpions (Pandinus Imperator)
0.0.1 Sinaloan Milksnake (Lampropeltis Triangulum Sinaloae)

why did the friend order the snake if it cant be cared for properly...and why cant the order be canceled?
what does the friend plan on doing with the snake when it shows up?
you could wait and take a look at both snakes and then decide

The friend ordered the snake cause he wanted one, eventhough he doesn't know anything about them.
I don't think the order can be canceled. And i really don't have any idea of what will he do when the snake arrives.
