Thank you.
Authenticity issues aside, I don't know where you live, but I would be VERY careful if this has any real python because python is illegal in California. I have to look up the laws of selling it if it's already in CA, but stores in CA CANNOT sell python.
It
IS illegal to buy the python from a seller in California, too. I would stay away.
California Penal Code Section 653q. It is unlawful to import into this state for commercial
purposes, to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the
state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of any seal.
Any person who violates any provision of this section is guilty of
a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of not less than one
thousand dollars ($1,000) and not to exceed five thousand dollars
($5,000) or imprisonment in the county jail for not to exceed six
months, or both such fine and imprisonment, for each violation.
Information Regarding CA Penal Code Section 653o This law, enacted in 1970 makes it unlawful to, “. . . import into this state for commercial purposes, to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of any polar bear, leopard, ocelot, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, sable antelope, wolf (Canis lupus), zebra, whale, cobra, python, sea turtle, colobus monkey, kangaroo, vicuna, sea otter, free-roaming feral horse, dolphin or porpoise (Delphinidae), Spanish lynx, or elephant.”
I took those directly from the CA websites, not from a third party. Illegal listings = bad idea and probably fake.
