    Hi,

    No special secret on the timestamp - I was just thinking about the post and it puts the quote in first as soon as you open the reply window.

    The fact it took me a while to type it out and correct all the horrible spelling mistakes means you had time to edit it before I hit the "submit reply" button.

    how long does he have them that he sells em. at least not longer than two month. i think more towards 2 weeks or so.

    and then sell it and the poor guy who buys it has the trouble...

    so many people got screwed by them- just search the boi on fauna


    i just can give anyone the advice to do some research before considdering to buy from them.


    @dr del- how could u quote my old text? i mean i edited it at 7:00 and u have the qoute from the old post at 7:22- why?
    This thread is about grab bags and grab bag babies.

    If you have an issue with Josh or outback can you take it to the inquiry/feedback section or PMs? I was enjoying peoples responses on the original topic.

    I just have to add that people should know what they are getting into when they buy WC animals from anyone. It's no secret that they come in from Africa and are immediately sold. That's the WC industry whether you agree with it or not. It goes back to the grab bag gamble. If someone wants to take a chance they can, and if they are too ignorant to research Outback (or any WC distributor), the snake, and where it came from that's their problem.

    ure right- thats true most of the time. but i know that many sellers at least sell just snakes that have eaten at least 3 times on their own. they dont sell 3 to 4 days old snakes like the ones in the grab bags...


    or they say it and therefore sell em a few bucks cheaper.

    i would suggest any newbie not to buy imports- espacially not fresh out of the egg imports that never eaten before.

    thats something for people who care for snakes a few days more and know what they doing.

    I figure I'll throw in another 2 cents because I kind of think the grab bags are a neat idea. I feel like if someone is naive enough to expect the next new "eye popping" morph in a 10 for $250 bag of ball pythons, they have no touch of reality.

    Agreed. You're probably better off buying a lottery ticket and making money than off those grab bags. But if you want to do it for fun and don't mind losing money, it would be kind of neat (for someone else's time and money).
