    Just remember to have the best possible quarantine until you know things are ok.

    My thought exactly! If they have lost interest in their collection then they may be showing some signs of neglect. Be careful but good luck too.
    Cheers, Jeff

    Are you sure it's legit? Like that someone didn't steal a bunch of snakes from a house they were robbing and decide "hey I can sell these!" Craigslist is too sketchy for me

    Honestly I don't believe someone would be stupid enough to steal such a huge collection and turn around and sell it on a public forum for prices that are drawing attention from a lot of people across the nation. Just figuring in the time it would take to clear out an entire collection of ball pythons from someones house and set them up in a new environment only to sell them for a measly 30 dollars a snake? This wouldn't be just stupid, this would be epic level dumb and dumber nonsense.

    Well, I mean I can't be sure of anything. But having that specific detail about all of the morphs? I would bet money they're not stolen. Possibly a bit neglected, but it looks like the person - if it's legit - had a breeding setup going on, if they know the different morphs and years of each of them. Probably started with a few normals (it looks like) and expanded from there.

    Nothign is certain, but nobody asked me to wire any money so far, so it seems to be going okay. Waiting on pictures, I assume I'll get some tomorrow. Wil post when I do.

    The reason I say to watch quarantine is sadly more serious than that.

    Wow, what a painful story to hear about. Very good lesson, but how utterly devastating Definitely would make you stop and think before pushing the margin of quarantine.

    Well, for what it's worth, I met up with these people and ended up buying 4 snakes for $30.00 each. The appear to be in good shape, not the greatest examples of the morphs but not bad. And they were sexed correctly too. They're in quarantine now so I guess we'll know if I got a good deal or not in a couple of months.

    That pewter is pretty. And they do seem to be in relatively healthy condition. So that is encouraging. If only I were closer...and already had more housings set up.
