Question about 'breeder'

Hey so I was looking for some more snakes and saw an ad on Kingsnake, and e-miled the guy about what he had. He told me that his snakes were for 'adoption' and not sale, and asked me some questions about what I know about BP's and their care and everything.
He says has been in a accident where he lost his wife and daughter , and so now he's letting go of all of the snakes he can no longer care for, due to being in a wheelchair. He says it will be $450 for two snakes- rather their pied, albino, spider, ect. because he has to get rid of them. He seems nice, but I'm not too sure about him- one of those 'too good to be true' things. His name is Luma Lionel.
What do you guys think/know about him?

There's a post on Fauna about that scammer in the Ball Python forum.

very fishy.

Request pictures of the animals. scammers like to google their images and if he snatches someone else's images, someone will know.

I searched that name but couldn't find anything. Can you provide a link? Thanks :)

Well the images on his site had the copywrite thing on them with his name.. So I dont know. It just doesnt seem right, but he said he just sold two yesterday (becaus eI asked which ones were still available), and like I said he seems like a good guy. It just seems to good to be true to get a pied and pastel for only $450 shipped... Too good to be true, is what I'm thinking, but he seems sincere... ?

Yea I looked him up too and couldent find anything. Hense, why I came here. Heres the link: http://ballpythonmorphs.freehosting.net/index.html

what's his website and his ad that you saw?

Yes, 450 is too cheap. I would expect about 3k for that combo.

i get an error with that link you provided.

and that's another red flag...a free web site.

Yea I know. Thats why I decided to look into thisguy. I can;t find the Kingsnake ad anymore- its been a few days since I started talkking to him. And It looks like that link is nolonger working.. So hmm...

That would be because he's not using his real name.

He was reported to his web host for using stolen photos and information, thus the reason the web site is gone.
