does this sound right to any of you??

[Royal Morphz]

she doesn't even have the length to be a breeder let alone the girth pretty Lesser though

You might want to think a bit on whether or not you are sending her back. She is big enough she is likely to breed next season, and you certainly weren't expecting her to breed again this season.

I know there is still a difference between a proven breeder and a young virgin who will just be up to size next year. For sure I'd make a note of the seller and not do business with him/her again.

But you have said she is super hot. How likely are you to find another lesser female that is as nice that will be ready to breed next year?

Not trying to say what you should do... just giving you another angle to think about.

this may sound dumb,but if you TRULY like her looks,you can easily have her breedable by this coming season,as even if she did "lay eggs"this season she couldnt be bred again yet anyway,maybe contact the other party with your concerns,and explain the question,and maybe see if they will put a little something in to go with her,if your truly happy with her looks that is.....

She should definitely go next season, without a doubt. But I traded my killer bee female for what I thought was going to be an 1800 gram lesser next season for a sub adult and a pewter male. I think I am way down on the bad end of this trade. I surely wont be dealing with this person again, this is the second of 3 deals that have been misrepresented on his part. I do not like being lied to. if you say she dropped a few eggs, fine, but 9?? Really?? I am by no means an expert..but I have had a good first year, and I honestly do not believe this female is what I was told she was. Guess I will just sleep on it and figure it out in the morning

she is OBVIOUSLY not what was promised,and i am in no way saying she is,,,just kind of food for thought...i wouldnt keep it as the trade stands,,but ask him if hed be willing to toss in something to go along with it,or a bit of cash to make it right

I agree.


But man that is one HOT lesser!

I'm sorry she was smaller than imagined, but wow she is stunning.

I think it is quite possible that she dropped 9 eggs. I know that Genetic Stripe female stock typically have large clutch sizes, as do most of my Het Axanthic and Axanthic stock. With that said, if she did indeed drop 9 eggs, I would expect them to be on the smaller side (maybe 80 grams apiece average). If my guestimates are correct, 9 80 gram eggs would weigh 720 grams. 1500 grams(starting weight of snake), minus 720 grams worth of eggs equals 780 grams worth of left over snake. That number is relatively close to her actual weight now.

All in all, what I am trying to say, is that I think it is possible that you were told the whole truth. The decision on what to do from here is your own.

This same person also sent me 8 normal female breeders out of "his collection" 2 weeks ago. They were all shipped from a reptile dealer in FL(not him) to my house, 3 of them came in with RI and one was a male

I felt uncomfortable the whole time, thats why I had him ship first. I hate to go back on a deal, but I think I might have to. Almost every animal this guy has sent me has been misrepresented.

Just saw this and thought it seemed similar and the seller posted a picture of a lesser on her eggs( looks to be duds)
