    I don't think it's a scam. If it were, they would be asking more for the snake. She might even have paperwork for the snake, but at that price I doubt it.

    $50 is kick butt for a 100% Het... IF it's true.

    Before you hand any money over, ask for the records from the breeder that state she's 100% het. Heck, $50 isn't shabby for a normal female that nice looking...but it's up to you.

    I got her from a local breeder and I saw the clutch that she came from.


    Now if i took everyones word at face value, I would have cashed in the 2 850 dollar money orders some idiot tried sending me to pay for my 25 dollars worth of cat supplies i was selling online, effectively landing me in jail for attempted fraud

    Re: Who Believes This!!!

    Heh... that scam is really common right now. I had an idiot send me an obviously fake $4000 cashiers check for a $150 keyboard. I knew it was a scam from the second email he sent me.

    Know what I did? I kept all those emails, put them in a word file and printed them out. Then I took those, the envelope the check came in (with a different name on it) and the check (with TWO different names on it) to the bank and handed it all over. They made copies for me and sent the rest to the cops. BUSTED!
    I was even able to do it a second time, tho only with emails, when another idiot tried the same thing only 4 days later!

    So be aware, folks, some of those scammers are good... but with an alert eye you can get the better of them.

    If you need a female buy it. If she proves out great. If not you paid a reasonable price for a nice breeder. It's kinda like buying a pos het.
