    Just on a side note is a Super Duper Pastel a granzeni/jayne line pastel? Although I think this is a scam but the fifth picture down is a Jayne photo of the SDP. Can you say copy write infringement?

    There were as on cl and ebay that I responded to a few months ago that is very similar to this. It started out that they were ftgh and that he was in pittsburgh and moving to florida. After a couple goofy emails all the sudden he's living in florida already and he wants you to send him money for shipping? After a few emails the prices started changing and so did the number of animals he had. He is fun to mess with though.

    Oh my gosh this is hilarious. I wish he could get in trouble for fraud somehow. I can't believe he has the panda pied!!!! I might have to make a trip to philly for that one!

    Tell him your brother/bf/someone can pick them up from him with cash! I want to hear what he has to say

    (and the super duper pastel is 'real' Markus Jane produced it-but it's just a really nice super pastel. I'm sure he found it somewhere on google)

He made it seem way too good to be true (and it was). High pay, open schedule... He asked for my number, address, if I was married or not, and so forth. Of course, I gave it to him and his reasoning for this was so that he could send me the condo key, he was in Hawaii or something and was moving to SD. He wanted me to have everything ready for them at the condo so that when they came home they didn't have to do anything. Lol! I fell for it but it ended up being BS. Very bad english and tried TOO hard to make it "proper". Can't wait to see what this guy tells you.
    HA, I've got a bogus cashiers check for 3500.00 from the same guy around here someplace. Had him going for about 3 weeks.

    Another good one is to let them send you the check, then tell them it never arrived or was stolen because you can't leave things on the porch in your neighborhood.

    Then they've gone through the hassle of forging the check, sending it to you, getting excited because they think they've found another chump, the the bitter realization that it is they, in fact, who are chumped.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

    I'm gonna go with SCAM!!! I really hope that you dont try to do business with this person. I would hate to see you get taken. The way I figure it, if he doesnt even know the basic terminology of ball pythons or the prices, something is wrong. If you are looking to get another ball python I would be glad to give you the name and number of the breeder I get mine from. He is a real nice stand up guy and he will work with you on prices. Goodluck.

    Aside from the improper terminology and pricing, he is apparently selling the famous Panda Pied so it can't be a scam! I can't get over that one.. Lol love it!
