What is a good way to be sure its legit??? I saw a kingsnake ad and they had the picture, then i emailed them and asked for pics and they sent one of the ones from the ad. The ad doesnt list a last name for the breeder and they dont have a buisness name... I know of the whole todays paper thing, but I was thinking just a pic of the snake with the persons email or something by it would work. Even then cant i pay with pay pal then they just not send it???

Well I went through this scared stage before. If you use paypal to pay, you will get an electronic receipt e-mailed to you. Saying that you payed $... to ... And then if nothing is shipped to you, you may report it to the police and get your money returned.

do a search on fauna classifieds board of inquiry. it doesn't catch everything but it catches A LOT.

the feedback forums here and on other fourms can be good as well. if you're looking for information about a specific seller, post an inquiry.

I didnt know pay pal does that, and I saw someone on hear say that they dont do anyting to refund you if your buying snakes. Maybe any animals? Idk.

Yeah i just posted a inquiry on fauna BOI about him. One response said "Chris is a great guy with very nice animals. I wouldn't hesitate purchasing from him. "

but the person who said that is new on that site like me..

Paypal doesn't cover you when it comes to buying live animals. Your best bet is to search and inquire on here in the feedback forum and on Fauna's BOI.

I asked for more pics and got

"It is what it is. No funny camera stuff, pic taken in front of window, it is a good looking animal. Really do not have time to take a bunch of pics with emails in them. I have references if you need them, been selling on KS for 7 years, never screwed anyone, it's a $150 snake and really do not have extra time for more pics.

I hope you understand...

(name & number)"

dont have time to take a picture and upload it then send an email? that takes around 1-2 mins MAX
1-2 mins to make $150 seems worth it to me lol..

in my opinion unless your getting a crazy deal that makes u NEED that specific snake because of that price, there will probly be another from someone willing to take the time within a week.

Yeah thats what my friend told me. I agree. It takes like 2 minutes to take, and upload pictures. Yeah... once I get around to responding to him im going to tell him. Yeah only $150. May not be alot to you but im just a kid with no job. And its worth two minutes. Plus, its not like im going to believe him. "ive never screwed anyone" yeah. and a scammer WOULDNT say something like that



Its not a crazy deal its pretty good. The snake in the pic looks really good and has some pretty high blushing. It could be part of the pic thats why i asked for more, the black of the pastel looks faded like a ghost. I havent seen anything as nice at all. Even the not so good ones were more... And im just impatient because ive been trying to get a pastel for like a month.....
