Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ok thanks. I wondered b/c I'm also in the mid-Atlantic and have seen packages routed through both Memphis and Chicago over the years. Just something to keep in mind.
At any rate without a full body picture of the sick snake I can't say whether it's the one you shipped the buyer or not. I tried matching based on the ad picture and couldn't see enough of the pattern to definitively say yes or no.

We haven't been able to tell looking at pictures, either. Believe me we tried!
This first one is a full body he sent us. He hasn't been willing to share this with the group, I think.
This is the most recent pic we had of her. It's the one we posted on Morph Market for the ad.

In addition, there is no way to tell, even if this is indeed our snake, that it's the one that is also sick.

I agree that the top picture ??? doesn't even look like a black pastel. but more like a yellow belly or Mojave from the bad colors in the picture. it could be just bad lighting ..
the only markings that can be compared are the ones on the side of the head , which are similar .. but can't be 100% sure

I really don't understand people who post threads on the BOI, and then when uncomfortable (to them) questions or observations pop up, all of a sudden they decide that those who are not actually involved should not participate.

This is true. Along with not being able to tell if it is the same snake as the one in the Ad.
IMO The photo, that was sent to you, doesn't even qualify as a full body pic.

There should be a standard rule where if you can't even use punctuation in your sentences, you're BOI is already invalid.

Sellers Beware Indeed!
Rare that I get involved in the drama these days.....but, here goes.
Wed, the 30th, buyer claims he spent $75 at the vet, with no mention of weight or sex discrepancy.

Thursday, the 1st, he claims to have just gotten back from the vet to "pick up the paperwork". This is his first claim of wrong weight and sex.

Letter (not invoice or report) from vet is dated for the 1st, not the date of alleged visit.

It's pretty clear to me that the buyer is hot-headed and blatantly dishonest. There is no way to verify that the snake examined by the vet was the snake received by the buyer, based on the lack of a clear photo provided by the buyer. At this point, I will take the seller at her word, as she has given me no reason not to.
Jessica, please keep us posted on PayPal's decision, as their past record with the reptile community has been reason for concern. Hopefully, they find in your favor OR the OP provides actual proof of his claims, and the matter can be resolved.

Oh my! Not sure how I did it (lack of sleep due to recent crazy events? Sheer stupidity?), but yes, I did misread and misunderstood your post ... and of course had to open my big mouth, lol.
A thousand apologies, Andy, and yes, it certainly would be a Seller beware warning.

I took the liberty of copying the pics. Only editing that was done was to rotate Jessica's, and enlarge and crop. Nothing else in the way of enhancement was done.
Still cannot say with certainty that they are one and the same Black Pastel.
And yes, a very sorry excuse for a "full body" pic from the buyer.
