AHP Exotics. Buyer Beware!!!!!
Hey everyone, I would like to let you know that this guy is posting a neo gtp for sale with a prolapse. He is not advertising the prolapse and was prob unaware that it had one until I emailed him. When he received my email a new add came up with the same pic but with the prolapse erased. He could have used photoshop or paint to do this.
This is wrong. Someone might not know what it is and buy the snake and then it dies. Anyone who hides something like that is a crook. I would advise you to stay away from them. I have never done buisness with them, but seeing that they erase a obvious prolapse is horrible. They have deleted there previous posts but I have saved the pics from them. I have a picture of the snake with the prolapse, here it is the prolapse is circled! I will post the picture that he altered so that it looks like there is no prolapse, notice the little line where he didnt erase it completely.

Tim, I saw that ad as well before the "alteration."
That is a pretty crass thing to do. I definitely know where I WON'T be buying any chondros from(but I'm picky anyway, so the list I won't buy from is actually pretty big, lol). |
wheres the prolapse?
Here is the pic that showed up on ks after I emailed him about the prolapse. Same exact pic, just the prolapse is missing. HMM

If you zoom 4x into each image.. you can see where the prolapse has been color matched and blurred out.
A really bad job at in IMHO as well. |
Yea I zoomed in too just to make sure I wasnt seeing things.

The sad thing is I just remembered who these people were.
They are local boys in GA that up until now, I've always had a good opinion of. I've talked to the owner of the shop several times in person and seen the animals they bring out to herp displays and herp shows, and they've always got good healthy looking animals. I haven't made it to the shop yet, but I understand they recently hired someone that, at least around here, has a less than solid reputation, and maybe it was that employee's doing, and maybe not. But knowingly going into a photo editing program and erasing a prolapse from a picture to continue trying to sell the snake is absolutely ridiculous no matter who does it, though. Has anyone notified Animal House about this thread? If not I will do so myself. |
That is a lowlife tactic (altering the pic) and can only be done by a LOWLIFE!
What a scum bag doing that to get a sale! |
Prolapsed gtp
Way to go Tim.You are very observant and might have saved
some innocent buyer $400.Even if the sellers didn't notice the prolapse before,which I find hard to believe,to digitally erase it and repost the ad is inexcusable and completely disgusting.This is a perfect example of how this board of inquiry can expose the bad and the ugly who really only care about making a buck.I would love to hear what this company has to say about this,although what can they say.This is why people should support the good people who really care about their animals first and foremost,and run the crooks and scammers out of business.Hopefully many people will see this thread and when they see this company advertise on kingsnake or wherever,they will run like H***.There are too many honest sellers out there who truly care about their animals.I for one will never forget this company and their unforgivable disregard for a living animal and greed.I noticed they have removed the ad.Hopefully they will seek vet care for the snake.Buyer beware! Way to go Tim! |
Nice catch, Tim! Thanks for pointing out another bad guy from whom to steer clear!!
;) |
Nice catch indeed, Tim! This thread should remain at the top of the page so more folks can read it. I don't need to zoom in on the pic to see what's going on here. The low life scum bags from AHP Exotics are to be avoided at all costs!
