This reminds me of going to meet a guy that had posted on Fauna looking to sell 2 black pastels that were het for pied. He lived about 2 hours away, but I always figure it's better to pick the animals up in person, so I went.

The 15 year old kid that showed up with his Dad to meet me came with two snakes. One was a normal and the other a black pastel. He said he could have sworn they were both black pastel! And the het pied part? He said, "well I know people like Panda pieds, so I thought advertising them as part of a pied project would get people interested in them." "So they aren't het pied." "Well no." And I noticed that the snakes were really skinny. I asked when the last time they ate was and he said he couldn't remember. So we asked how often he fed them; they couldn't have been over 100g. He told me that he doesn't get allowance very often from his dad and so even though he tries to buy them food every two weeks, sometimes he wants to buy other stuff instead. No but really,

Needless to say we left. He yelled and screamed when we refused to buy them that we had really wasted he and his Dad's time. I wanted to strangle him.

Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but generally:
Kids + The Animal Business = bad situation
