    Please help me choose one of these 3 Mohave Orange Ghosts. I like all three so I'm looking for a little help. Thanks in advance. Jake

    The first one, I love his shading and the back markings. It was almost a tie with the second one, but the shading was just so bright and stood out much more than the second in my opinion. :) hope that helps

    #3 looks the most ghostish to me so i think id get that one. #1 is a close second though!

    I also think its between 1 and 3 but I could be happy with any of them. Looking forward to others thoughts too.

    Really
    I like the Os on the first one. I didn't like the third, but keep in mind I'm new at this.

    I remember reading something about Fred Kick not being the best guy to do business with. Can't remember exactly what it was I read. #1 looks nice though.

    Bummer. I have 3bp's coming from him Tuesday. I'm thinking of adding one of the above to the shipment to fill my rack. He has been pretty helpful so far, I guess ill see when they get here. I too am pretty new to this.

    The colors of #3 look the most muted to me, and look at the length of that neck stripe! I vote #3!

    Man I just did some homework and he sounds like bad news. I've already paid him for 3 visuals and was about to add a fourth. Now I'm having strong second thoughts. I really want healthy snakes. What should I do?

    This is what I just sent him, if he puts up a fight should I ask him for a health guarantee on the snakes, of should I file a dispute through PayPal?

    Hi Fred, I have a dilemma. While I am very excited to get these snakes from you, I just discovered some very unnerving information about your business practices on the web. At this point I would like to respectfully request a refund of the payment I sent for the three snakes. I'm just too new to this and. I am not in a postition to potentially deal with ill animals, not saying that the three are. If you would kindly issue me a refund, I will go away quietly. Thank you for your time. Jake

    It is $450 since I got the others coming.....maybe.

    Good luck and hope they're healthy if you don't get a refund on them. As to the snakes, I'd say #1 followed by #3; they looked the most "orange" and also the most "hypo". Really digging on number 1's darker shading and his blushing. Good luck and hope it turns out for you.

    I like #1 but I would never buy anything from Fred Kick. He has so much negative feedback on the BOI I can't believe he is still in business.

    Do you have a female for him OR are you wanting him as a pet?

    This is a bummer because what was an exciting post has turned sour. I'm trying get a hold of him and will be filing a dispute tonight if I don't hear from him. I don't want to deal with any sick animals and he has a terrible Rep on the web. He is supposed to ship tomorrow and I'm afraid I wont hear from him until after he ships. I will file a dispute through PayPal and my CC company if I have to. I'm really hoping he takes the high road and simply issues me a refund. This is definitely a big pit in my stomach. I was so excited to get my snakes Tuesday and have my new rack and herpstat all setup. This stinks.

    Ya I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to rain on your parade either. Just wanted you to know what kind of rep he has.

    first hand experience with fred, all 6 of mine are from fred kick. none have had issues, shipped on time, well packaged, included feeding cards. fred has been 100% upfront and was very flexable with me. your choice overall though.

    Thanks to all. I spoke with him last night. We had a good discussion on the phone
    He was very polite and agreed to issue me a.refund. While my gut tells me everything may have been OK, I'm comfortable with my choice. Thanks to all for the discussion. Jake

    Money refunded! He was nice and polite and understanding. Lucky for me I just found and ordered almost the same morphs and they will be here tomorrow....Woohoo....
