I thought it sounded kind of fishy when he said he had no pics. I got a male pastel off of craigslist a while back for $75. Not a bad animal, but was infested with mites. Thanks to PAM I got that under control, but I learned my lesson the hard way about "craigslist deals" LOL. I admit this ad intrigued me, so I responded just to see. But you are right, there is probably something wrong. The other odd thing was that he said "he's a great eater, just ate a rat a few days ago, and has one in him right now?" What the heck? How often is he feeding that snake?
