Honestly the quality of the lessers for $250 sucked. I wouldnt have paid $100 for them. Both males too I think. We were all not to happy about that booth.

Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p

Some of the prices are a bit scary though - lessers for only $250 and snows for $3500 a pair? :tears:

It was a guy that re-sells stuff, he also had super pastels for sale that hadn't even had their first shed. There was a SMOKING lesser on another table for $550 I wish I had the money for.

Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p

Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p
oh oh oh.... i can afford the multi colored snakes with green heads. :taz::taz:
lol... great photos... wish the shows around here were that big..

Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p
First off, I love the Practice Safe Snakes label, that is just the best picture ever.
Second, I also enjoyed the sign: Green Anaconda eats rats, $125(NOT TAME) lol.
Then as I was scrolling through i'm like wait, hold up, neon snakes? Then when I scrolled back up I realized they were rubber.
-
Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p
Is that lesser really 250$?

Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p
Yeah those prices are low, makes you wonder what the seller/flipper (if that is the case) paid for them. Maybe he paid the breeders way into the show and bought him a hot dog. Ouch !

Were they wild caught or something?
-
Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p
Hi,
No it means he bought them cheap from someone else in the hopes of selling them without having to do anything expensive or time consuming like getting them eating regularly.
He may have got them cheaply because he was willing to take non eaters or simply because he also took a large number of snakes or whatever.

Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p
I enjoyed the show. Although I was at sam and theresas table pretty much the whole time holding and drooling all over the hypo het lucy burms. I have to have one of those snakes. They are just mindblowing in person. I saw alot of low prices at the show not just balls but with other species to.

That's what I took it as. I wasn't there to see it. Everyone else was beating around the bush about it, Neil stepped up. I will seek him out for my next purchase because of that.

Re: Repticon Atlanta 09, huge any computer warning :p
Guys, I hate to sound like an idiot on this but without facts to back yourselves up you are just tossing out baseless information.
I am not in any way defending his prices, they were stupid low. But while I was taking pics of some of his animals I over heard him on a couple sales and he guaranteed the animals to be feeding. Even gave the customers his card and underlined the email and phone and said to not hesitate to contact him if there were problems.
Also, I just ran him on the BOI real quick and he does not have any bad guy threads there.
So yeah, maybe he is flipping some stuff he got wholesale but beyond that you cannot reasonably speculate.

I can agree that good prices for great snakes is not unheard of. I picked up a pair of het pieds at the show by my house for $200. The seller just has bigger and better things to work with other than hets. He is big into the double recessives. The female is a bit picky on eating but the male has put on over 100 grams in a month and a half. To tell you the truth, had I been at that show, I would have probably bought them granted they looked healthy in person.

When an animal did not even have it's first shed (and there were several of them) this is not an animal that is feeding or that can be guarenteed to be feeding, and I strongly believe that NO ANIMAL should be sold before their first shed and had several meals in them.

The animal not eating is in no way speculation it is a fact see above.

Deborah,
If the bone you have to pick with him is that he was selling animals that had not had their first shed then I think you need to add at least 7 other vendors (that I distinctly remember) to that list. And those other vendors were selling at more "typical" prices... Maybe that is why no one has bothered mentioning their executing that same gross violation :confused:
And again I ask, how can you guarantee that all those animals he was selling had not had their first shed? Did you ask him specifically? Cause if you did not then, yeah, it is speculation. You are speculating that they had not had their first shed and therefore you are speculating that they are not eating.
Again, I am not defending his prices. But if that is the problem you have with him then just stick to that and quit making things up to add to the "crime". He is a flipper is reason enough for people to not like it. Do we really need to tack on baseless accusations of "they are not eating" or "they have not yet shed" to justify not liking it? What is next, is someone going to accuse him of having IBD animals? Give me a break.
He had ridiculously low prices cause he was flipping. No further "justification" is needed. That people are stretching to come up with further justification, to me, makes it sound like sour grapes more than anything else.
