• Pied female-- her eyebar is solid brown rather than broken

Cinnamon het Pied
pinstripe female-- 1700 grams, small eye in pattern
Orange Ghost
Mohave het Ghost

With the exception of the two juvies listed at the top, the rest taken were breeder males and gravid females. The several that have unique characteristics are described. Mr. Robinson was iffy about publicising any more pictures of them, but if you see any breeder animals for sale that fit these descriptions, go ahead and give them a call. They are heartbroken.

I'll be checking Craigslist often. I hope I see them, or that they're returned before too long. :please:

Updated list is what I've got. Check my last post for full details. We can help these folks with their peace of mind and help these animals back to their home, I hope and pray.

Good work. Did you happen to meantion this site/thread to them at all? Maybe they would be willing to put up more pics on BP focused site. If not, I get off work shortly and can contact her to let her know.

I did mention BP.net, and told him the name of this thread. I'd rather not violate his discomfort further, but if he would like to post the pictures here himself, I told him that there are 2000 eyes here already on the lookout for his animals. He's thinking of the safety of his animals, not that I can blame him in the least. It's a scary situation.

Well, I spread it all over FB. No way they're selling them through any of the Classifieds groups there.

I'm torn about that, because the easiest way to catch them is probably when they try to sell the animals.

As already stated, the thieves are obviously "snake people" since they were able to differentiate between the valuable morphs & the more common ones. One thing people are over-looking here is that given this fact, the people responsible may have no intentions to sell the snakes at all, or at least not the adults. While everyone here has good intentions by keeping an eye out on CL, Fauna, KS, etc., I seriously doubt the snakes will ever be listed.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Why take the risk of selling them when they've got expensive morphs to sell babies from. :/ What's sad is that often the criminals get away with it. We were broken into twice at our old house. Never found the person. The third time they broke in is when we had our motion sensor detectors and really loud alarm you can here from a mile away. That time they didn't bother to take anything and ran.

That's what the Robinsons are heartbroken about. These people were clearly snake people with an intention to start their own program, as they took the most valuable snakes with size on them already. If any of the gravids keep, well, dropping next month. That's quick profit for the robbers.

And what's worse, these were people who knew the layout of their house and their snake room well enough to know the exact location of the ones they wanted. They were people considered friends. The best we can hope for is that they feel bad for doing it and turn themselves in, perhaps after the females lose their eggs from stress. We can look for pics of verification from the clutches, dame/sire photos, but I'm thinking these guys won't be flipping these animals.

That is so terrible. I hope they get all their snakes back safe and healthy.
