Anyone done biz with [email protected]?

I am interested in buying a lot of unsorted baby balls. But I would appreciate first the input of anyone that has already done business with him. Here are two posts, one placed on May 07, the other one today.

I have 20 very very nice pick of the litters baby balls.These are out of an order of 2000 animals from 3 weeks ago.These are the best of the bunch.There are bandeds,reduced pattern tiger patterns.A couple ringers ans a very dark melanistic ball.I have these up for sale and I am asking 650 for all 20..price does not include shipping. These are unsexed and all have eaten small hopper mice or fuzzy rats.I have a few sample pics available right now.These are very nice looking and way above average ball pythons.Email me and they are yours.First person to call me with a credit card number gets them.
Thanks

he also posted an ad saying that he has someone in guyana that will be exporting animals to him and he said that if anyone was interested in any of the animals he listed to contact him.  well, i did and never heard back from him.

then, i placed an ad selling my ball python.  he told me he was ready to buy it and then i never heard from him again.

this is not to say that he isn't an honest guy, these are just the two dealings i have had with him.

I've dealt w/ him and he's excellent. Does everything he says he's gonna do and more.  Great guy to have on your side.

I was thinking of ordering some of the "unsorted" ball pythons he offered (where you might the interesting patterns). But I was then puzzled by the fact that a week later (today) he offered the "pick of the litter" (bandeds, ringers, stripes, etc.). Maybe he only sorted the ones from the previous shipment. Has anyone order from him yet? What kind of ball pythons did you receive as unsorted?

Good guy to deal with. Purchased a lot of Fat Tail Geckos from him. He provided good cust. service and had a outstanding product as advertised.

I have no experience how doing business with him actually goes, since I have not had the opportunity.  

Like you, I got a couple of e-mails from him asking about some geckos I had for sale at the time(don't remember ALL the details of his messages, this was a couple months ago and I didn't save them).  I replied and simply never heard back.  This happened a couple of times with him asking me about animals and making an offer, then disappearing until I get another e-mail as if he never contacted me before.

I am sure he does decent business, but if someone replies to your offer, please at least tell them if you re interested or not.

But good luck with your purchase!  Hope you get some nice snakes!

no...but got a virus from his email account yesterday...did email him about a snake one time but I waited to long to get it and it sold...he had a nice price I wish I would have now...anyway check your computer...
