Hank Molt is a very shadey individual. I wouldn't advise doing any buisness with him.
Just a precautious FYI.

I've done business with Hank and a few things come to mind:
1) His animals are accurately represented
2) His animals are always the best of the best
3) He can generally get stuff that no one else can
4) You sometimes have to wait a while to get what you want.
5) I've been very happy with the quality of animals that I have received from him.
Advice: Don't pay in full upfront (that goes for any breeder/dealer). Put down a small deposit prior to shipping. If possible, get the animal COD, or, something where your mind is at ease about not getting taken. Hank's been in the business for a long, long time and I don't think he would risk his name/reputation over a single order.

Hank does have and can get stuff that no one else has. But, the reason most people wind up waiting for thier animals is that Hank usually justs has one general photo of an animal that he posts up for sale. Once the buyer sends in money, thats when Hank tries to locate the animal. When the animal is not available or is hard to find, the buyer waits.
Rob, I don't know when the last time you have done business with Hank was, but its a far fetch to say "I don't think he would risk his name/reputation over a single order". He has been in the business as long as anyone has, but, anyone who knows Hank personally knows that he is just like the animals he sells.

I've only purchased a few animals from him and can only base my experience on those transactions (in addition to speaking to him on the phone many times).
I wasn' sure what you meant by your comment:
"....Hank personally knows that he is just like the animals he sells."
That's either a knock on Hank or a knock on snakes. As I said, I am only basing my comments on my actual dealing with Hank (not the stuff I hear from other people).

Hey Rob,
Actually, the quote you copied should have read "anyone who knows Hank personally, knows hes just like the snakes he sells".
I guess it is a little knock on Hank. I would never take away the quality of animals or his knowledge on them. However, I would never trust him. But, I understand where you're coming from.

Hank does exactly as Rob said. He goes out and tries to find what you need via request, takes your money and then you wait or get ripped off. Many people have experienced the latter.
That alone should be enough not to deal with him or at least i would think. At the very least he sky rockets the price for his service, a service one could do on there own if they just put a little effort into it.
He also has the very bad habit of disappearing after initial deposits and has spent a fair amount of time in jail for herp related offenses. It’s well documented.
Rob, you probably got decent treatment considering your position in both these boards and as a professional. Hobbyist however can not expect the same treatment as you.
In short, I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him.
My 2 cents, take it for what you like.
Jeremy
