    No Way! Way too much credit. You send him 200.00 you better believe you wont be seeing it nor the snake ever again. Like the one person said if its too good to be true most likely it is. If it was a reputable breeder even they would still ask for some kind of monetery compensation to help with the cost they put into the animals setups and what not even at half cost and i have yet to find a breeder send me an email like that just because i show interest in something.

    Absolutely 100% NO WAY is that a breeder legitimately getting rid of a snake collection. Read a few more of those and you'll become much more fluent in "Scam-ese". The whole thing is pure scam language that preys on people naive enough to not recognize it yet and gullible enough to believe they really can get $$$$'s worth of product for $.

    Wow SCAM!!! That is some pretty pricing shipping for baby ball pythons. Did she buy them a seat in first class on the plane? I've seen pictures of those pieds on kingsnake recently too. Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch/snake. (unless it is a normal male, then you can get like 12 free)

    I (along with many others here I am sure), a long time ago, went through the whole process of finding out about all of this "crap-olla" on the internet.

    From now on, all I ask is if they are PayPal certified and if that is the way they are going to recieve payment. If they say no.. SCAM! Ask em' if they can take a paypal payment, cause' that's all you are going to do.

    They are so excited their about to get $500 they continue to email u over and over trying to get u to send money, fun times!
