    evepetscare99@gmail.com Craigslist Scammer

    I didn't save the ad, and it's already been removed, but it was on my local Craigslist...just a generic "Ball pythons for adoption" without much other info.

    As soon as they said that the snakes would be shipped from Africa, I was out. Kept e-mailing though, just to see what they'd say. :-D The e-mail conversation is below, and I'm afraid you'll have to read from bottom to top, as I'm too lazy to resort it. Bottom is a screencap with thumbs of the images they sent. I recognize the first "cenamon" and I'm sure I've seen the "piedbald" around too...the "majove" looks like a normal to me.

    The same post has been here in Atlanta. But they have gone way down on there prices. When I got a response they wanted $500 for each.

    Re: evepetscare99@gmail.com Craigslist Scammer

    They haven't replied since I told them that I would need ages, sexes, and weights of the morphs before I committed. I guess they got bored, or were too lazy to make up some numbers.

    Hehe--they're 6 months, 1 year and 2 years old. They're 100, 200 and 300 grams AND They're all 12 inches long! These morons have obviously never seen a BP in person.

    My BP is just over 6 months old, I think--and he's a little over 300 grams and about 24" long...
