I wish you all the best, regardless of what happens.

Oh, boy.
Are you ever not kidding.
I bought *1* as a pet and now I'm up to 16 in less than a year, counting 2 Boas.
[and have another one the way..and I've started eyeing up Tegus]
I feel like a scale junkie.
:D

absolutely not a pastel, I don't know what kind of person who claims to know anything about ball python morphs would think that was a pastel.

If you like the snake keep it. Every snake has there own personality, which people tend to fall in love with. From being aggressive to a lush. Everyone needs to have a normal, I just think you paid a little more than you needed to. Let the persons info out, so the rest of us can not do business with them! Hope everything works out. Usually does :)

I wouldn't trade my $40 petco mutt Iggy for the world.
She is and always will be my first BP and holds a permanent, very special place in my heart.

Re: I think I got lied to...help ID'ing our baby
Well, it has been 2 1/2 weeks or so and we still have our adorable little Zuzu. The people who sold her to us (Diane/Shawn Garrison) claim that they don't have the $60 to pay us back right now. I could take a few approaches to this...since he is in the military I could contact legal and go after them, wait until they have the $ and bring her back, or keep her. We have decided to keep her. As much as we would love to have started with a morph, we can't bear to think of giving her back and having her fall into the wrong hands.
Thank you to everyone, especially Vypyrz, who helped me figure this out.
Now if only I could get her to eat! :sigh2:

Re: I think I got lied to...help ID'ing our baby
OK...she just ate! YAY!!!
-
Congratulations on her eating!
My heart goes out to you. A situation like this is never easy. However, we all live and learn. Including me. Later on when you buy another ball, you will be much harder to fool. And yes, you will be buying another, you may as well accept that fact. :D

Re: I think I got lied to...help ID'ing our baby
I am glad to hear she ate for you. I know you've said that you are planning to keep her. Have you had a chance to let someone trustworthy sex the snake again to determine if in fact it is a female?
Given the deception about it being a Pastel, I would think the gender could still be in question. If it is not a female would that change your mind about keeping it?

Re: I think I got lied to...help ID'ing our baby
I haven't had her sexed yet to double check. I don't know who I would go to around here, but it is a really good idea. As for changing our minds...no, we are pretty attached to her even if she's a he. The only way I would hand her off is if she were going to a caring and dedicated home. :date:
-
I'm kinda glad you kept her. I would be a little uneasy about giving a snake back to someone who breeds snakes and can't tell a pastel from a normal. Who knows what else they are screwing up!
Glad she is in a good home and eating for you!

It sounds to me like Zuzu already has a caring and dedicated home, so enjoy. Sometimes the most delightful things in life don't start out as planned.

^^^ This. lol. I don't think that I've ever, EVER heard someone on this site advise against getting another snake...quite the opposite. :rofl: Unless someone was being had in terms of price, morph ID, or quality, I've only ever heard "Get it!" :P
To the OP: Congratulations on your new baby. As long as you are happy with her, that's all that matters. I'm sorry that your introduction to the BP community started out a bit rocky, but now you've found your way to a wonderful place that we all love dearly, BP.net. :D You're doing right by little Zuzu, and I'm happy to hear you're keeping her. I will definitely avoid doing business with those individuals. It's a little disturbing that they couldn't identify a pastel, and would not admit their mistake later. Regardless, I think it has all worked out for the better...at least for the snake. ;) Again, congrats on your new baby and welcome to BP.net! :welcome:

As if I'd listen anyway...:D
[Hi everybody. My name is Shari and I'm a snakeaholic.]

[its obviously too late for me..I am a snake junkie]

If $60 is all you actually paid for her, then you really did pay 'normal female' prices--at least, for a high quality normal female with records.
So, that's not so bad. (Pastel females are usually over $150).
-
I am glad you are giving her a good home. Sorry you had a bad start looking for your morph girl but at least your here now and if you want/need help later we are here for you! Glad you got her to eat = ).
Salamander, I still can't get over it! My name is Shari too, and my forum name is short for Samalander (although its not uncommon for people to read it Salamander just because that is what they expect). Lol, sorry, i have thought that was funny since Alice went missing but didn't seem like a good time to mention it.

Re: I think I got lied to...help ID'ing our baby
Yes...they are in Jacksonville, NC.
