Convict Ball Python

[elevatethis]

I was just browsing kingsnake.com in the rip-off classified section and noticed this great ball for $15,000...

Anyone else smell a scam here?

that is funny....I like reading the classifieds....usually there is a good laugh in there somewhere....

Oh for goodness' sake! If that's a "truly black and white" snake, then I'll eat my keyboard!

what a bunch of BS!!!! I've seen black and whites before....please.....that is DEFINATELY not it. And notice how its convieniently been bred by a spider AND a blonde, and how she's probably gravid already??!!!! More lines to this already big fish story......and notice how trades are welcome.....hmmm.......oh, sure , let me trade my valuable hard earned morph babies for a very pretty normal, at best....

I can't believe everyone is giving this guy a hard time. It's obvious the poor guy is color-blind, but nobody has brought it to his attention yet.

[hornsrule]

i wonder if anyone has called him on it yet? it is pretty blatantly a scam.

[jknudson]

I think that guy needs to freshen up on his morphs before he tries to sell anymore snakes.

Even his website http://www.tns-rep.com/index.shtml looks legit. The pics of his collection and whatnot probably are fake or not even his.

ok, ok... I'll call his bluff. I'll give this guy a ring, at the very least I'll work on my New Yorker accent since I left NYC 16 yrs ago. I'll keep ya posted.

By the way, I'm going to be new to this herping thing, wondering if he'll be on the up and up?...LOL

LOL! I'm very interested in hearing how this turns out. He could be a sincere guy who's simply overly optimistic about his snake's coloration....but to say it's NOT axanthic, but it IS a true black & white snake....means you're talking about a whole new morph....where'd it come from? Have you proven it's genetic yet?

If his website is for real (and it could very well be...I don't like to convict without solid evidence) then he apparently has a small collection of some very pretty animals, but I don't see any evidence of someone who is able to aquire and prove out brand new morphs.

And that snake seriously did NOT look black & white to me! LOL
