PLEASE- make sure when you make a sale that you are not selling to someone that does not know what they are doing. This kid is a ticking time bomb for whatever state he is in. If he gets bit because someone sold him a bunch of atrox then I am willing to bet that there will be a crackdown and much tougher regulations! WE NEED TO POLICE OURSELVES! just because you can make a quick buck off a 12 year old does not mean you should. Think about it.

I messed up the video link, try this one

Couldn't upload the video, but I will say that this should fall under the heading of "common sense." We have enough trouble with the "authorities" and owning "large" constrictors; let's not shoot ourselves in the foot, and get cut off totally from our venomous hobby, just for a dollar.

Just because someone says "I've had years of experience...owned a ball python and a corn snake...I know what to do," doesn't necessarily mean they are a qualified snake owner, let alone sending them home with something venomous.

Looks like the video's already been taken down.
