Last month I purchased two ball pythons, supposedly 100% het pied, from someone claiming they had been produced by Shannon, though Shannon was in no way involved in the (horrible) transaction. I had grave concerns at the time of purchase (I had seen them online and met in person to see snakes/complete deal). Both snakes were in rough condition, and it became difficult to get a straight story from the seller. I found Shannon on FB and sent a blind PM explaining who I was, what I had been sold, and what I had been told at the time of sale. Shannon replied very quickly--same day if I recall correctly--and confirmed that she produced the two balls in question. She also broke the news that I'd been "had,"--the girls were "possible" hets, having been produced by two hets. She was able to confirm hatch dates from years back, as well as verify other basic details. Though Shannon was in no way involved in the sale of these balls to me, she earned my respect with her honesty, record keeping, responsiveness, and her reaction to having found out about the condition the snakes were in. I would happily do business with her.
