Carolina Reptile Exchange, selling Pieds
HCE animals. Anyone taking a chance?
|
David,
Please do a search by HCE*, Eisenman, and Digital Reptiles. There is plenty of information there to help you decide. Regards, |
I do not see anywhere....
in my post where I said I was even considering buying them. I simply put HCE and Carolina Reptile Exchange togather, for those who were not aware of it.
I also think it is "interesting" at best to see that all the possible het pieds they have, have the genetic marker everyone is talking about. Interesting, because I have 1.1 100% hets, straight from a top name, and NIETHER have the marking. So for every one of their possibles to have it makes me wonder... |
David,
I thought you were actually looking into buying some. It's going to be a tough sell for Carolina Reptile Exchange, particularly reading their current ad, and what Harry said a few months ago in one of his last posts in here: Current ad by Caroline Reptile Exchange: Quote:

You bring up another interesting point...
one that I missed, about his son. I feel sorry for anyone who spent big bucks on animals that may not prove out. Has anyone proved out any hets purchased from HCE or known affiliates?
|
David,
His baby hetero for pieds started to show up in the market early this year. It would be fair to say they are not going to prove out probably until 2005. Even if those who bought heteros don't get pieds in their first clutch, they should try again the following year (odds!). So we won't know the outcome probably until 2006. Hopefully everything will go fine for those that bought the heteros as there is a lot of time and money invested. Regards. |
I was actually thinking of buying some hets too. But you know the saying: If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.
I can't remember where I say it, but I clearly recall seeing somewhere where it said to basically stay away from these guys. Their prices are "TOO GOOD FOR ME" Maybe someone will come on here with more info. Thanks, |

That's my theory. Buy from a reputable person, who has references or just someone whom you can trust, and all should be alright. But the prices on their hets were just too low. Low enough to throw up a red flag.
|
It is not just the prices...
It looked as though he had a receipt from a year when he was Digital Reptiles, but the receipt had his new name HCE on it, or something like that. It all just looked "suspect" at best.
