    New Balls
    Hello, im new here, and i just purchased two ball pythons and a blood python at the hamburg show yesterday. I got a spider ball for $250! I also got a pastel ball for $125. I payed $75 for the blood, and so far her temperment is not to bad. Im limited to the amount of snakes i can have because they are staying at my girlfriends house. i offered food to the pastel and he ate right away! the spider is in shed so i didnt try. i know people say dnt offer food to them until after a week, but i dnt see a problem with it. i will have pics up soon.

    Thanks:taz:

    I don't think he's selling them, I think that's how much he paid. He's saying he didn't get more because he can't have too many.

    Yeah, I thought about that too. It's like he's only in it for the money.

    Well if he did indeed brag about the low price that he bought them for and then listed them for twice the price on the same day I would be willing to bet money that he is not a member of the MENSA society.;)

    I'm fighting the urge, but its 1230am so I'm tired and grumpy.....

    This guy is a joke... He tells about the awesome prices he paid, then lists them up for rediculous prices trying to double his money? Wow. Good luck with that man. I put up a post looking for a spider a few weeks ago, and had 3 replies by morning, all for substantially less then he is trying to sell his stuff.

    Who would buy a spider for $500 from some guy who got "new balls" from a show, and turned right around? You can go to about a dozen well known breeders right here and get one for less. I'd stay away from this guy.

    Why bother with pictures "of your new balls" if you are trying to get rid of the snakes anyway? Might as well just do some for sale pics.

    Certified reptile shipper? Probably not.

    Rant over

    Hi,

    Is there any confirmation that this was one of the snakes he bought rather than one he already had?

    Re: New Balls
    Hi,

    Yes since he doesnt mention the sex of the new one or the weight of either there is no way to be sure he just doesn't have two spiders and is selling one.

    You may be right or you may be wrong.

    True... I guess now we'll just have to wait and see his response to clear this up. I'll always give an apology when one is due. But I have a feeling he's got some issues.

    I am not selling the snake i just purchased. I already owned a male spider, but i purchased another at hamburg because he looks better then the one i had at home. He has some what of a reduced pattern, and plus i couldnt beat the price. So i have no need for two male spider ball pythons when 1 male can breed atleast 4 females. Your concerns are deff. understandable.

    Thanks

    Well I apologize about jumping to the conclusion about selling the snake you just bought. The disrespecting thing? Get over it buddy, you are a 19 year old kid who has to keep your snakes at your girlfriend's house. Then you make 2 posts about how you just got new snakes and have to sell one at a rediculous high price, comeon now.

    Furthermore, first you said you have a limited amount of snakes you can have; and now you are a breader who wants to breed your spider to four other females. Limited number of snakes huh? Whats the limit? 25

    Anyway, again I'm sorry for jumping to the conclusion about the snake. But I doubt anyone wants your reject spider for $130 more than they can get one from a bunch of reputable adult breeders.

    Now you are being VERY RUDE now:mad:.Instead of putting someone down even more after you apologize to them why not just say NOTHING!!! Are you his parents NO! Then leave well enough alone :mad:
