what do you guys think???

Scam. Those morphs are far too cheap to be real.

Sounds like a scam to me, especially if you didn't contact anyone. And the fact that they're in another country throws up another red flag for me. And for 350 for a piebald, I'd swim the ocean to spain to pick one up myself. My vote is SCAM.

yeah i thought they were cheap to good to be true springs to mind


i replied to the email asking for website contact number etc... lol

those prices are in pounds. so 350 pounds is something like 550 US dollars. still pretty low for a piebald. but i still think its a scam also until they send you the info you ask for and youve properly vetted them.

It's goofy looking.

For one thing, in the general market males usually cost less than females, but that list doesn't reflect it. Ringers are priced highers than lavendars, caramels priced the same as pastels, snows priced lower than spiders--the whole list reeks of being compiled by someone that doesn't know jack about morphs and their pricing.

Could you post the e-mail headers? I can see where it's from (country wise)...

If it's from some country in Africa, well... :colbert:

heres the email address it came from

If you have to stop and think, "hmmm is this a scam?" I would stay away from it.

Yep scam.and who would sell a ball python for 438.00 lol.
