Why does nobody have a problem with the description? It is a 2004 that weighs only 900 grams. It hasn't eaten in just under 7 months. He states multiple times that it should be ready to breed this next season... and that is the reason to buy it.

Do you think this is designed to get someone who knows what there doing interested? Or do you think it is trying to lure in a new bee without a clue that wants to breed balls and get rich?

I am sorry I did not contact this seller to start with. keep in mind, this thread was about general concerns... not just this very misleading thread.
Mike, sorry but you cannot one on hand say it's not about one thread when you quite obviously did not show another example of a problem you see in the way our sales section works and where you use terms like "this very misleading thread" and "Ok, call it a black back. Its not, but go ahead."

You may not consider it a blackblack or a very good example of one but that is your opinion. You've stated as fact what is really only an opinion. That opinion is countered by the opinions of at least two major BP breeders.

You've made it seem that Randy has knowingly mislead other members in his ad. That's a pretty serious thing to accuse another member of. If it were a concern expressed in a general manner, but Mike you've literally picked his ad apart, challenged him on a number of issues on this snake and not given even one other example of another ad that bothers you. Quite honestly if you did that to anyone else here you probably aren't going to get the very balanced response you got from Randy.

If you had a concern, it should have been expressed to Randy. This sort of public ripping into someone about the snakes they sell is exactly why the sales threads are locked and questions about the sale, the snake in question, etc. are expected to be handled between the parties in a professional manner.
