Another joker from West Africa: nice try buddy!

I've actually decided to send him $5.00, then I'm going to insist that I sent $500.00, I got another e-mail from him today but I have things to do so, Ill post it and my reply tomorrow. BTW Jet-a-pet returned the lizards to him yesterday.

ANy updates?

Oh man, this is good stuff. In case it wasn't obvious, my earlier comment on the thread referred to Gloydius blomhoffi siniticus, not Uwangi fallenoffi. I must confess that I have never quite managed to breed any Uwangi fallenoffi, probably because their special care sheet never arrived from that shipper in Nigeria.

Perhaps this shipper would sell us some snakes in the genus Bogus. Bogus scammeri or Bogus ripoffus would probably be available. You should also ask about those really rare, expensive snakes that are het for legs. Don't forget to ask about the albino black mambas and the two headed Gaboon vipers.

Uwangi fallenoffi Caresheet

Uwangi like to hide in warm, moist, dark caves. They will become very excited at the presence of such a cave, and will swell up in a defensive display. Eventually they will become so excited that they regurgitate. This is normal. Do not be alarmed if Uwangi does this.

Different types of Uwangi like to hide in different types of caves. You will need to determine which habitat Uwangi prefers and try to get some of that on a regular basis. Warning: procuring suitable Uwangi habitat can be very difficult and may require the expenditure of money or alcohol.

Remember these two very important rules when caring for Uwangi.

If Uwangi is fallenoffi, better go see a doctor.

If Uwangi is rotenoffi, it's too late for the doctor.



Klingon Specker Caresheet

A Klingon specker is a very unique creature. Reaching lengths of up to fourteen inches, this animal is known for its robustness and knobbly armoring. It may be pink or brown. This species is thought to share many characteristics with Uwangi, particularly its preference for warm, dark caves. This beast can be a dangerous one. Not many humans have seen a Klingon specker and lived to tell about it. So little is known about its habits and dietary preferences. If you see a Klingon specker, please be sure to take some good quality photographs.

Ricky Duffield sent me the following e-mail to pass on to everyone:


Ray, this is one of those Nigerian 4-19 scammers...
If you can, please advise as many herpers (on the forums you know) about him, he will get some people if they fall for his nonsense.
I'm going to let kingsnake know but maybe the forums would be better...
God bless.
Ricky
