I can see where the OP is coming from with not getting it if things are shady. It is kind of like buying a puppy from the pet store because you feel sorry for where it came from (most of the time a puppy mill). All you are doing is fueling the deplorable conditions and amoral practices those animals were raised in. I know if I did that I would not feel good about the "great deal" I got on the animal... :(

Let me recommend pet world in Lawrence, KS, at http://www.petworldlawrence.com. Go to reptiles, snakes for sale, and then high end snakes. Their cinnies and spiders are from great lines and are real lookers. I'd stay away from their line of fires and pastels, however, as the super fires (BELs) that they produce have some yellow spotting on the back and their pastels are pretty darn brown. I'll be getting a male VPI from them this year and their snakes are super healthy and go for good prices.

I agree, but I would still like to know how it was shady. May help some for when they aren't sure if they may be getting their snake from somewhere "shady"

Some of us like having that added bit of variation in our bels! :D

It was complicated for me. The fact that I'm getting a 3000g normal next week or so, plus we are moving and we have little room here now. I had to make a grown up decision..

What was shady for me I guess was more of an excuse. The guy said that he had only had the snake for a week. The person they got it from said the snake was a year old and I know for a fact that it was not a year old. The snake although a little thin was only a foot long or so. It looked just like a hatchling to me. He said he had also fed it twice already.. I think it would be a bit thicker if that were true. It also had sorta dry skin and its head looked a little mishapen to me...

Thinking back I wish I had got it. If anything I could've fattened it up and found it a new home but money is tight and its probably a good thing it turned out that way with all the bs happening right now. I hope that someone knowledgeable bought it and is getting it in tip top shape.

And on another note, I'm really excited to get my big normal girl! Biggest one I've probably ever seen in person and she is going into a special project ;)
