    Re: Another craigslist ad .......

    Ha - I had someone from Cameroon that needed to re-home some morphs, I only needed to pay shipping.

    I told them I'd be happy to re-imburse them for shipping AFTER I received the animals.

    I wonder why I haven't heard back from them?

    The subject was Albino Balls and eggs:

    Hello,

    Thanks for the fast mail.I am very happy to read from you.I have some captive breed ball pythons and i am looking for loving and caring home.I am not selling my ball pythons.I am just looking for new home.Below are the types of ball pythons i have now.I am located in Cameroon but i can still give them internationally without much cost..If you can only pay just the shipping cost of the ball pythons,I can proceed with the delivery.I have much ball pythons now and so i have decided to give them out for free .Where are you located?? the shipping cost is 200$ and i can also arrange house delivery ok


    Albino.......Ball pythons
    Piebald.....Ball pythons
    Spider.......Ball pythons
    Mojave......Ball pythons
    Pastel........Ball pythons
    ghost........Ball pythons
    caramel.....Ball pythons

    If you really need the snakes answer my question below

    Do you have a vet doctor??

    Where are you located??

    Will you pay the shipping cost??

    which kind of ball python do you want?

    How many ball pythons do you want??

    Do you have a phone number??

    Can i deliver the ball pythons today??

    I will be very happy if you can provide me with all the answer to my question ok

    P.S Let me tell you how you are going to take care of the pythons Ok

    Ball Pythons are a constrictor and their diet consists of small rodents. They will eat mice and rats throughout their lives. They are nocturnal, so feed at night. Small Ball Pythons will feed on small “fuzzy” mice (once a week) and will begin to consume larger mice and even small rats as they grow. Adults will feed on adult mice or small rats (one or two every week to ten days).Ball Pythons will often refuse food if they are handled excessively or when their habitat changes. They will need time to get comfortable in new surroundings.
    Fresh water in a good size water dish should always be available. A shallow water dish works well. The python will usually climb in and may get water on the substrate.. If this happens, the substrate should be changed or alternatively, the python can be soaked in a separate water dish once a week.

    Thanks and Waiting
    My two replies:

    I am quite aware of how to care for ball pythons, since I breed them myself. I am also quite aware of the scammers from Cameroon. If you wish to send the snakes in question to me first, I'll be happy to re-imburse you for your expenses AFTER I receive the animals. Otherwise - no thank you.
    You also didn't answer me about vaccinations - since I've never heard of anyone vaccinating ball pythons. What in the world are you vacinating them for?
