Manny frade is trash I would never purchase from him or support him in anyway. Im shocked you recieved boa u paid for as the man is famous for pulling a switcharoo. He has 800 adult animals. He has nice boas but he is the biggest snake in the business and as long as new people who dont know manny for his true self hell continue to thrive in this wonderful hobby and its sad. But as I said he has nice stuff and that right there is a gorgeous boa! congrats hes a hottie!

Pardon me, but I have worked with Manny in the past. I also know quite a few folks who've purchased from him and not a single one has ever complained. Each person I know who have gotten a boa from Manny has gotten the very one they ordered. Although this is the first boa I've actually bought from him, I was EXTREMELY impressed with the snake's condition and professional packaging. The entire transaction was very smooth. In addition, I could have requested that the snake be sent out last week, but at Manny's suggestion, we waited for the weather to continue to improve. I was gratified that he was not only willing to hold the animal another week, but that he also had the animal's best interests in mind.

I don't know if you have personally had a bad experience with him or if you are just hearing rumors, but around here, we try not to bash someone without providing first hand experience. I mean no disrespect, but please, if there is valid information to share, please do so on our inquiries and feedback forum. I am sure that if there are real reasons why folks shouldn't buy from him, they would like to know.

Also, I should point out that I am in no way "new" to boas as your post above rather suggests. Neither are several of those "other folks" I mentioned who've purchased from Manny. I (and those others) may not be well-known, but that in no way makes us new or means that we are "out of the loop". I do my research before buying a snake from ANYone. I, for one, don't have money to throw away so I intend to ensure each transaction is a professional and good one.

I am not defending Manny. As I said, if you have legitimate and actual reasons for your statements, please share them - on their own thread and in the proper way. Thanks!
