Goooooood GRIEF!!?! $10K Pretty dang proud of something you don't know if it's doctored or not.

Good thing I saw THIS ad. I was thinking of buying a couple of his normal girls advertised in another link, but not no more. Sheeeeesh!:rolleyes:

He has been on kingsnake since 2002. He is most likely ok. I am sure he bought It last year....tried to breed it (if it is old enough), and got nothing but a bunch of normals. Now he is trying to re-coop his losses. Notice, he doesnt say anything about breeding results. Just that you get a unique snake.

Yeah. From the looks of the picture as well, it just looks like improper lighting giving you some righer colors in the snake. The photo isn't doctored nor shopped in any way from which I can see.

I wouldn't be so quick to bash this guy. I'm sure most of the more experienced folks here have heard of him, if not dealt with him before. He's not a newbie...


To me that ad looks like he is selling a snake that could be something new. I wouldn't pay 10k for it, but someone else may have the cash and see the potential.

Wow...kinda' jumping to conclusions aren't we?

Remember ALL morphs come from WC stock in the begining......LOL.........all will be kicking themselves when this snake produces some off the wall crazy morph that sells for somewhere around 100K...........;)

perhaps...hence the reason I started off as saying "He has been on kingsnake since 2002. He is most likely ok." The rest is just an assumption on my part. If you go through the trouble to import an African Snake, most likely you are wanting to prove it out and get the corner on a new morph line. If someone was wanting to sell a truely unique snake, my conclusion would be that it didn't pan out as he hoped. But ...yes....simply speculation on my part.

That's cool...I guess it was just the "I am sure" part that sounded a little presumptuous...:)

If he thinks it's worth $10,000 then that's what he should try to sell it for... He'll find out if anyone else thinks it's worth that much. Who knows how much he paid for it... although I've seen other cool CH "oddballs" for a lot less.
