Kevin,
I do not know if this is an honest mistake, or you are trying to pull something but you need to double check the photo you sent me.... let me know what's up.

Thanks,

Well, he never gat back to me after this last email. Here is the photo he sent me.

Wow! The head on that thing must be 2 foot across then!

Griz

Even considering the angle it seems it might between a 3 and a 4 footer at best. It's not a baby though judging by the girth and head, more than likely an yearling in my opinion. Not an 8 footer for sure. It would be nice to ask for some sort of a size reference like a pop can by her side.

Regards.

Definitely not an 8 foot, the substrate gives it away along with the girth on that snake, for a female she would be quite skinny for 8 feet. Hopefully it was an honest mistake and sent the wrong picture.

If it's not just the wrong photo that got sent, seems like a kid who's trying to get you to ship first on a nonexistant trade. Hope that's not it!

I did email him about the possibility of attaching the wrong photo, I even returned the photo he sent me, I received no response.... I will take his silence as guilt.....

I want to knw where he gets that SUPERSIZED cypress...

And if he is feeding that thing goats...as big as it's head is...

Of course I am only being facetious...
