Shaking my head

So, I visit another forum, and this guy comes on and talks about how his collection of ball pythons is growing. And he's bragging about all his hets.

He has a pair of het for Super Mojave (wouldn't that just be two Mojaves, I'm thinking?). Then he goes on to say that he has three het pastels, 4 cinnamon hets that are double het for spider and ivory. And he says that he got a great deal on all of these hets he has from a guy going out of business - just $20K!!!!

Um....dude - if you just spent $20K for a bunch of normal looking snakes that you believe are het for all those traits - you've been had!

The only recessive gene that he has listed is Albino. Even that would be suspect to me if they all came from the same source.

Kinda of makes you sad that people would take advantage of others that way - but also you wonder who would drop $20K on something that they obviously haven't properly researched.

is he serious? i would initially think he was lying and trying to impress people.
the idea someone would swindle someone so horribly is too much for me to contemplate. i'll just assume he was mr. big head.

Robin,was their anyone correcting him and trying to explain to him thats not possible? Could you refer him to this site and we could try to him a clue? If you prefer not saying a word to this person pm me the info on the site and his user name and i will see if i can get thru.I will not slam him or the site,just try to let him know that was jacked.Then again i might allready be a member on that site and just missed his posting.Maybe he might still be able to get his money back if he even really has these snakes .

I feel kinda sorry for the dude if he dropped that much for that little.

TANKEE??? Are we drinking something:P :P :colbert: lmao.So what was your opinion of that thread?

Of course we're drinking... :carrot:

I think the dude got it in the rear end. I also think it's a good thing someone made a post letting this dude know he probably took it in the rear end. For 20k, he should have bought some visible morphs...I would have. but that's just me.
