Tony,

No, I have never dealt with Drew. But you posted he was selling, and I quote:

Selling and albino that is het for DH ghost


heres the ad




Albino Colombian Red Tail Boa hetero for ghost female

Here is how his ad reads:

Salmon Colombian Red Tail Boa 100% hetero for albino/hetero for ghost male

He is supposedly selling a salmon boa 100% hetero for albino (that makes him hetero for sunglow), but then he is also adding "hetero for ghost". The hetero for ghost animal has to be an hypo/salmon that carries the anerythristic gene.

He mentions in his ad that the father is a Kahl albino and the mother a salmon. In short if that is the case, it's an hetero for sunglow and nothing else.

The price is about right for a nice looking salmon, almost "too good to be true" for an hetero sunglow...

I should have done this before replying to your post. Here are the Q&A on the item. Hopefully you will be able to draw your conclusion and make a decision based on this

Different snake different mother? Same snake in the pic. You also have this same snake on another auction as a female. It's the same snake in the pics in your auction before. Seriously, am I missing something here?? Also I'm not clear on where the anery gene is coming from. Do you mean het sunglow instead of ghost? -Chris

Ok. I e-mailed Drew and he e-mailed me back and said the pic in this auction is NOT the actual animal for sale just so everyone knows. -Chris cahrens@tampabay.rr.com

I wasn't going to buy this snake but wanted everyone to know that this guy is selling 5 - 10 snakes per week on reptibid.

Is drew for real? could be a honest mistake?

I know Jon Brady had a problem with him in the past, and I guess his father is the owner of the business.

He "MAYBE" selling normals as Hets as well?

Of course I have no facts to back this up but time will tell in 2 -3 years if thos het babies produce babies.

Drew has had good reviews on repibid!!!!!

I'm sorry Drew if I'm out of line here, just protecting the herpers industry.

Is drew for real? could be a honest mistake?

Of course it can. But what strikes as odd is he never answered the question he was asked.

So he posted a picture of the wrong hetero for sale?

In my opinion he han be as honest as they come, but when dealing with heterozygous animals you have to be very careful with what you are claiming them to be. If he mistakenly picked up the wrong picture, who can assure the buyer that at the end he will be getting the snake with the right genetics?

Kindly

I live in tampa and bought the salmon 66het albino from drew two weeks ago. I met him personally to pick the snake up. He is a mid aged guy and looks as honest as they come. In the kinda german accent he speeks with he sounds like he doesnt know to much but he hinted that the backbone is his partner that actually houses and breeds the snakes. My salmon I bought I am extremely happy with and he did come with a paper that had my snake printed in color listing the mother and father and the breeder that produced them. For instance the father was an f2 salmon from basically boas and the mother was from there facility and was a proven het breeder. I researched a ton of his animals he was selling and it all added up that he wasnt lying.
So all in all from my experience it was good.
Here is the male I purchased in the pic

I won a mandarin phase Sanzinia from Drew at Reptibid last week before all of the hets he now has posted. Either he doesn't have a clue regarding boa morph genetics or there's some miscommunication going on by what he's stating. Possibly a language barrier? He's supposed to ship my animal out tomorrow for Tuesday delivery. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
