Inquiry Northeast Reptiles?

I saw this ad on kingsnake and just thought it was too good to be true...
http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=32&de=647985
A 100% het caramel 66% het ghost female for $200? That's a pretty good price.

I checked out their website and there it says that they have 50% het caramels and 50% het ghost females for $200. In fact, I can't find a single 100% het ball python on their site! Plus, they have a number of 25% het balls, which is just a personal pet peeve of mine.

So at this point I'm a little suspicious...a price that's too good to be true on ks, a price that's ridiculous on their website, and not even a single 100% het? According to their website they've been in business out of CT since 2002, but I can't find a single thing on them here on fauna.

Now, this is all going by gut feeling, but I thought I'd at least bring it up here and see if anyone else has done business or heard of these guys.

Also, at least one of their photos is clearly photoshopped. (Killer bee, under the ball python gallery).

Ok, they have a number of ads on Kingsnake. One contains an e-mail address for eastcoastreptileexchange@yahoo.com, which did not show any significant results in any searches. I'm not sure what to think at this point, it's possible that the website is brand new and needs to be touched up. BUT, it still gives me the same impression that those OH-based scam websites did.

Were you able to find out anymore about these guys? I'm interested in another ad they recently posted on KS but also noticed all the 50% and 25% hets on their website.
