omg thats messed up, "she's a little skinny because ive been out of rats for 2 months". errrrrrrrrrrrr

[frankykeno]

Unless I read that wrong he also says she was around 1400 grams when he "ran out" of rats two months back and she was bred last season. Well if she was only 1300 or 1400 grams this season BEFORE he didn't bother to feed her, she is underweight for this year and would have had to be VERY underweight to have been bred last season.

His tag is "nogoodteen".....very appropriate....

People like that make me sick.

ball pythons dont lose 3 or 4 hundred grams in 2 months. my male was on a fast and in two and a half months he only went from 1650 to 1505 grams. maybe she has parasites or something?

I would stay far away from this guy. That is an awful big weight loss for a couple months. He didnt say that he starved her for two months but even if he had it would still be tough for her to lose that much.

Go buy a rat expletive!!!!!!

Seriously. How much do rats cost? Maybe two bucks. He couldn't afford two bucks a week?

Many rodent breeders have shortages during different points of the year. My rat guy took a hit this fall ... happens all the time ... even rodent pro ran out of small rats a month or two ago.

Availability of rats can sometimes be a problem for some people ... if it hasn't happened to you (that is a general you, not directed at a specific person), you are lucky ... but without knowing the whole story, is it really fair to judge?

The snake didn't look unhealthy in the picture? And ball pythons don't need to eat every single week.

Looking at the add from a different angle, my impression was that the female was never larger than 1100 grams and he's just trying to get a couple hundred extra dollars by saying she used to be 1400 grams and a proven breeder.

I'd bet he didn't think he'd scare people from purchasing with his little fib.

Well my issue isn't with a snake not eating for 2 months, lots of ours on this forum go that long or longer as part of their winter fasting thing from what I can see. I still don't get the ran out of rats thing. I know RodentPro can go low on stock but consistently?...for months?

My problem is any idiot making it clear (or pretending to) that he bred a female well underweight and wants to sell her to have it done again. At less than 1400 grams she would not be up to size for this year correct let alone whatever she must have weighed a year back? If he's just trying to make her more "appealing" by lying about her being a proven female, then he's clueless as geesh I don't know from squat, but I do know that everything he posted made her less appealing as well as himself as a seller.

Sorry this sort of thing does tend to get my back up but I'll learn over time to let it slide more, one can't fix the world though I wish it were different.
