Ahh! Someone talk me down... making sudden purchases online at 10pm....

MUST RESIST THE URGE TO BUY MORE SNAKES!!!

I want a male lesser to breed to my pastel and fire when they're big and ready, and I found some lessers of moderate quality for only $400... but I know nothing about the seller and no one answers topics in the Inquiry Forum.

What I should be doing is working on calculus and going to bed so I can wake up tomorrow to go to class, but every problem I finish I spend another 10 minutes here, or on my email looking over the pictures. I have a strong urge to reply "SEND ME ___ AND HAVE IT HERE ON A THURSDAY!!!! *throws money at the seller*" And obviously this is a bad idea and I need to wait to find some people to vouch for this purchase and think about it over the week.

But no matter what I do I cant stop thinking about it, and wanting it, and being like "Forget the issues, BUY BUY BUY!" And I have a feeling that when I go to bed I'm going to really really wish I had bought those sleeping pills I saw the last time I was at the pharmacy, because there is no way I am going to sleep tonight.

Have you checked the person out at www.faunaclassifieds.com. ?

I would not buy from an online seller that you can't find any info on. Post up an inquiry thread here and on the BOI to see if anyone has dealings with the seller.
I also would advice against lessers of "moderate" quality for that money. The way prices are heading you can probably find top examples for around the same money.
Good luck!

I found zero zip nada on fauna.Do you have the persons real name?

The email has Luis Moreno

Aww, I had to register at Fauna Classifieds and it says it's waiting to be moderated by an administer... Guess I won't be going there tonight, lol.

As for the snakes themselves:

Part of me is like OOO look at those cool patterns, but another part is saying "hrm, those are really busy and I'm not sure about the blushing on them as there seems to be a bit too much black on all but one."

:/ But finding a $400 lesser has not been easy, in fact finding a lesser at all hasn't been all that easy since I don't have transport to the local show. Plus winter is around the corner, meaning having them shipped won't work in like... a month.

There are no BOI posts on anyone by that name.

I know it seems like a really great deal, but I think you may just want to refuse it.

$400 for a Lesser seems too low, well to me at least. The lowest I've seen a Lesser was at $800. But really, if someone wanted to sell a Lesser for that low of a price, there has to be something up with it. Sometimes people sell their animals for a low price because they think someone would buy it because it's low but the animal will most likely have problems.

This is my inquiry (which you already know of):

http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...d.php?t=101454

And the pictures of the snakes I asked about today and he sent them about three hours ago.

And I can't believe I have been working on my calculus homework for 3 hours.
