Dark Net Sources for Reptiles (Not a shitpost)

Non-drug relate post here. I have a bit of an odd request, but I'm hoping there are some people here who can help.

I have a friend who's really into reptile husbandry/breeding, and has a pretty large collection, primarily snakes. Currently, however, there are a few species he really wants to get his hands on, but can't due to US restrictions. Primarily, he wants a Black-Necked Spitting Cobra (Naja nigricollis), which is illegal in his state.

Knowing the dark net tends to be a pretty good place to buy stuff you can't easily get elsewhere, I told him there may be a dark net source for reptiles, but I haven't been able to find anything so far.

The exotic reptile hobby is a pretty big one, so I feel like there has to be someone offering rare and restricted reptiles online to be shipped into the US. If anyone could help me with finding a source, or direct me to somewhere where I could find this info, I'd really appreciate it.

Note: Not sure if this post violates the anti-sourcing sub rules, but I figure snakes count as a sufficiently "rare product". If this post belongs on a different sub, let me know.

Edit: This is a real request. You can easily and legally ship snakes, even venomous ones, through USPS. Their physiology allows reptiles to survive in a package for a fair amount of time. I know people shitpost a lot here about where to get animals on the DNM, but a reptile vendor would be reasonable. Clearnet sources for reptiles exist, but I'm primarily interested in sources for restricted reptiles.

If it's illegal in his state, find a state that it's not and drive to it n buy one.

Have you tried craigslist? There are always endangered and exotic animal species being listed for illegal sales on there. You just gotta find the right cities and categories to look in.

With that sort of illegal import, you'd need to provide a lot more info (and do some legwork). Finding a breeder in the country of origin is the first point, then figuring out a way to bring it in. You're not going to find anyone who will flat out ship it- you're going to have to be creative- is it native to Mexico? Paying someone to drive up a package. Will it have to come overseas? Then you'll have to work out the logistics of how long it can survive without food or water, etc etc.

Doesn't this post violate sourcing rule?


[1 Points] JburnaDNM:

If I was a mail man and someone had me ship a poisonous snake without my knowledge I'd be mad as fuck.


[1 Points] Thoughtsofamaniac:

So, your "friend" is into reptile breeding, but only wants one black-necked spitting cobra? Yeah, it doesn't at all sound like you're trying to source a venomous snake to use in a murder or anything.

Shipping a snake bro? Do you know how illegal that is? Do you know how many snake sniffing dogs there are in the post office! Ship snake to belize and burn house.
