And if you're finding them on Reptile Auction, you're in even worse shape ... that place is the arm pit of the industry.

Hope that cleared things up a little. :D

Listen to the man young padawan! He is a master jedi! I can co-sign. I was lucky enough to get a female bp from him and I can say...LUCKY. I also assure you she was way more than 30 bux and she's in pristine shape and I'm trying to make Master Wysocki proud of his new Jedi apprentice. :D

Man I had a ringer one time, sheesh... The doctor gave me a shot in the butt and some cream to take home and I was ok in a week.. Hope you guys get it taken care of:)

Hey everyone on here knows I've got some killer deals on females lately. So here's the real "deal" I got, you be the judge.

#1 $50.00 unsexed from a pet store...later found to be female...this is called BLIND LUCK

#2 free rescue, later found to be female....again...pure BLIND LUCK

#3 free WC non-eating rescue, known to be female

#4 & #5 $130.00 bought from a pet store....add in vet costs to that as I had them vetted and sexed (females) prior to purchase

Okay so still seems like I got some great deals. I did...to a degree.

Now add in....#3 wasn't eating....so add in fecal samples, buying high cost gerbils to get her eating and the high level of stress involved in rehabbing a non-eating WC, also future vet visits if she suddenly refuses again as she is already underweight as it is

Also add in...#5...highly aggressive....not a pet...some deal she would have been for a person looking for a pet eh

Add in to all the above, costs for fecal samples, possible vet visits when you buy snakes of uncertain, unknown backgrounds and perhaps either unsexed or improperly sexed. Add in just plain old stress.

I'm not complaining. I got some lovely females that have all our hopes and dreams residing in their snakey bodies but think again if you think deals are always deals. Personally, I can't wait for Finn to arrive from his great breeder. It'll be nice to finally have one snake in the house that I actually know something about!

As for ReptileAuction, sure I look there too. Most of the so called breeders there when I run them on Fauna BOI....I run the other way but if you have the money to gamble (we sure don't) feel free.

Oh and on the old CB, CBB thing. Personally I don't care what smoke the pet store blows up my.....you get the idea. I mark all our snakes that come from any source other than a breeder I trust as "of unknown origin".
