James, I've asked seven breeders. One explained it to me but said it was hard to tell still because they don't all look like that.

Another said they were too busy to explain it to me and gave me a link to a website I'd already read and didn't help, and the others did not respond.

westcoastjungle, thanks a lot.

There is where it was said Styx.
And I'm not intending to argue with you so I'm going to bow out now. I'm glad you decided against it, you'll be happy when you don't have to worry about the source of your reptiles. :) Good luck in the future!

Would a mod please change this thread's title? This is a cry wolf and makes us all immune to *real* emergencies...:mad:

as you wish cass. ;)

Good to know that you're doing your research...I think that westcoast jungle was right on the $... http://www.nextworldexotics.com/hgcin.htm is a good place to start. You can see some of the variances in the pictures that Jon posted on his site. If possible I would look at some of these variances in person (whether I was dropping $300 or $3000) so that I knew what I was looking for in an animal.

When I am purchasing an animal, I am looking for the qualities that I like, and want to pass on to future generations of animals...I'm not looking for the lowest price (until I find that animal that has all of the qualities that I'm looking for...and this usually does not come at a "cheap" price). I would steer clear from any "deals"...I've learned through age that you typically get what you pay for...and if it's cheap enough, you might not get it at all...

recycling goddess, yeah, I wasn't sure where to turn with my issues so... here I am. Even if I do not only feel stupid, but look like a moron too. Yay, I love looking retarded.

No need to feel stupid here...I bet you feel a lot better having asked the question, than having paid $300 and playing the scam game...I am curious though, did you happen to send Ralph Davis the picture that you were sent? I think that it might peek his interest...and might get you some more answers about what "constitutes" a cinni.

If you're still having trouble recognizing the differences after the "hunters guide" and some more comparison photos, shoot me a PM and we'll go from there.

Methinks he would get $300 and you would get nothing, especially seeing how eager he is to get this deal done NOW!

If it walks like a duck........

is this guy from Louisana by chance? I got burned in a deal similar to this back in february when I got my male Nag.

IMHO I would ask the folks around here for referrals and deal with repuatable breeders and dont risk losing your money, and the snake, by going with someone you dont know anything about

I remember on another forum, I think it was a GTP forum... someone posted a very similar thread as this. The seller's diction was especially noticeable, as is the one here. It did turn out to be a scam.

you know what... i'd rather all the members here post a thread about a purchase they are making, BEFORE they turn over the money - to find out if it's a good deal or not than to have one person loose their hard earned, harder to save cash!

:hug: :wuv:
