i have a chance to get Blue eyed lucys, should i?

hi, i was wondering if anyone thinks this is bogus? i have a chance to buy ball python eggs in electric incubators, any morph, including blue eyed lucy for only 40 bucks each with air shipping, should i or shouldn't i?

You know what they say about something that look to good to be true? :rolleyes:

Can you imagine and egg being shipped (box being dropped, turned upside down etc)?

What a scammer hopes is that someone will be desperate enough to take a chance on something they might not otherwise be able to afford.

Tell him I'll take 10 Ultramel, 10 Toffee and 10 Coral Glow eggs :rofl: :rolleyes:

Yeah, I wouldn't go for that. As was already mentioned, eggs being shipped would probably get damaged anyway. And why would someone sell a morph they could sell for hundreds (or thousands) for $40 when they only have to wait for it to hatch?

Tell him "As I currently in Nigeria, I'm sending my driver to meet you at a predetermined location that is secure for both of you. And he will have a cashiers check made out for $500 higher than the purchase price, seeing as the last deal suddenly fell through. And all that will be needed to have everything go smoothly is for him to have the eggs and $500 cash to cover the difference."

Key word of this is "claims". If he's remotely legit, he'll want to make sure they even hatch instead of being transported via mail in a box. Like deborah says, you know what they say about things being too good to be true. Another red flag should also be the fact that he says he has every morph available in egg form. sketchy!

I smell a SCAM! Where did you even find an add like that? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone shipping BP eggs before. :colbert: Don't do it!

Does he know what city you in if he dosent say what city he is in and if he dosent say something like Africa Say hey I'm close to you and I can pick up then see what he says.

Not to mention how does he know what's in the eggs? Lol how does he know it's BELS in those eggs..... Sounds fishy to me.... He could send u a clutch of normals and you wouldn't know until they hatched.

reputable breeders not only hatch their eggs out to make sure the babies are healthy, most of them want the babies to have 3 consecutive feeds before selling.

That's because he also has a part time job as a psychic, probably gives good deal on that too.:rofl:

Lol I was going to ask the same. There's no way of telling what could come out of a clutch until they hatch! Especially combos. I would say scam big time..

I would say the only thing you have here is a 100% chance to be scammed.
Electric incubators?
As in a plug in incubator that needs plugged in at all times?
They will need quite an extension cord....:rofl:

Man, that deal smells worse than last weeks leftover seafood dinner!

Pretty much like the deal I had a chance at when I was breeding cockatiels. Somebody said they had cockatiel eggs in all colors for $10 plus shipping. I feel sorry for any fool who thought for even a second that was legitimate. For one thing, it would be nearly impossible to properly ship any living creature in the egg. Pressure changes, temperatures, etc. mean most would die in shipment unless they were sent by ground. Even with ground shipping, the bumping and jostling would scramble anything in those eggs.

Not to mention, just like with snakes, there is no way to tell what would hatch out if by some miracle one survived the shipping.

And what if after you get them, none of the eggs hatches, then what ? What guarantee does he offer ? Ask him for a guarantee in writing stating the eggs will hatch and what they will contain. I'm curious to see if he'll offer that. But whatever you do, DON'T be foolish enough to send him any money.

Its a classic scam tactic you see on Craigslist a lot. Saying it would be scamming a scammer.
