    Has anyone ever been caught....
    lying about Hets?

    I always wondered if there are some people on KS that say they are selling Hets but are really just selling Normal x Normals.

    I know there are birth records and such but you can make them up as well. Correct?

    Technically, he has yet to be caught...

    But he will be.

    I promise that.

    Of course, if someone wishes to set out to destroy themselves then so be it.... they will get what they deserve!

    TSE are a good example....

    Chris Johnson of Top Shelf Exotics came and sold more than $10,000 worth of fake hets to people within 3 years.

    Then, when people started getting suspicious, he dissapeared.

    He has many enemies in this hobby, and I am DEFINATELY one of them.

    That would really be a disappointment to keep breeding and breeding, getting your hopes up, and then a bunch of norms.

    I cant imagine this happening once but to try it a second time I would be uber pissed.

    Rick Miller sold some bogus hets too. A buddy of mine bought some and I tried to prove one two years in a row(to a visual) with no luck.

    TSE, Bearded Pets (and their numerous alias') Carolina Reptile Exchange, Snake Evolutions, TW International (questionable) and those were only the big names that I can think of right off the bat. :rolleyes:

    Sometimes accidents happen retained sperm and the like -- sometimes it's just outright deceit. Some were good names gone bad some were just scamming from the start.

    If you are going to go with hets -- be sure you know who you are dealing with.

    Good luck.
