Boy did I see right through that one! :weirdface the original CL add was something very simple "i need to find homes for my Bp's" needless to say i was quite amused.

wow. For a second I was convinced he was the REAL DEAL!

:colbert:

what a turd.

They would be so much more realistic (and believable) if they would just learn to type proper English. :rolleyes:

The horrible English gives it away.

uhmmmm...yea.

what a db.

:rolleyes:

I think the bad english is supposed to make you think he's dumb enough to adopt out the high dollar morphs for "only" that small shipping fee.

I wrote one a real nice message the other day about adopting his ball python eggs,The kicker they come with there own incubators :O :8: :8: :8:.I told him his mother would become a goat when he read my message :rofl: :rofl:.Of course they fear goats so he must have passed out because he never replied back :8: :rofl: :rofl:

lol i have no idea y but i read taht with an english accent but wow people will say anythin for a buck

I'd take 2 Pieds for $445....

Better yet get one for free

Hi there,Thanks for the mail. I have a male albino and a female piebald
ball pythons available to go out , They are hand raised and with all
papers,has been fully checked, captive breed and also tested and have
a good relationship with other pets and vet checked with up to date vet
records.they are ready to go for adoption with free snakes box.I am
looking for a good home and will meet up any requirements if need to be
shipped.their weights are 442g and 507g and each are a little over 2
ft. long, will come with a cites permit and 10months and 12months and
1year old respectively. They will be going out for free adoption and a
free box and all you need to pay is the shipping fee . I am giving
them for adoption because i am here for an
assignment and my job requires a lot of time so i immediately realized
that they are going to be lonely and as you know they are very delicate
creatures and need a lot of care and devotion and that is why i have
decided to give them out to a loving and caring home where they will be
loved and will be given all the time they need, so if you are
interested.get back lets see how they get home..
Where are you located and How soon do you want the snakes?,
how many? and if needs to be shipped, then get back to me with your full address and the address of
the closest airport to your location so that i should contact the
shipping agency right away for flight reservation.
Thanks and Waiting
for the infos
