Amazing find on craigslist

[benwallage9]

So I was looking for a normal female on craigslist that I would be able to get to breed this year and came across an ad that saidd "three ball pythons for sale call 555-5555 (not the real number) ask for andy" So I called the guy and asked him if he had any normal adult females, guessing I'd be lucky if he had one. He said ya I have a pastel adult female, I was instantly surprised that he had one. So I asked well how much do you want for her, thinking he was going to say around $250. He replied $50, I thought the phone had cut out or something thinking this was surely a mistake, but he told me again he only wanted $50 for her. So I drove to meet him and 2 hours later this is what I came home with





She is skinny only 884 grams and only eats live. But I'm hoping I will be able to get some weight on her and switch her to f/t and maybe I'll be able to get her to go this year. That is extremely unlikely but well see she has the length just not the weight. Gotta love people on craigslist, I feel bad she is so skinny.

Ya there will be people on there from time to time that have no clue what they have or what it is worth lol. I see normal females on there all the time for around $50 if you don't mind feeding live

Then again, they may know exactly what they have.

Hate to be a downer, but
1) how do you know it's a female?
2) an adult female at only 800 odd grams? Either he was maintenance feeding her or she's a picky eater...no fun there...
3) I hope you have "her" in QT...being a Craigslist pickup...chances are "she" was kept in a tank with the other two he was trying to unload...


and to Gabe...did you see a pic of the 80 dollar Pastel male? I'd gladly pay 80 bucks for the right one...Pastels are incredibly common...great looking Pastels aren't...

So many people in this hobby are obsessed with saving a buck...
