This is the pic of me holding the snake I received infront of the computer with Frank's facebook photo of the snake he sold to Randy:

Wow. That's AMAZINGLY clearly the same animal. Absolute pattern match. Yipes. Any chance you've got a photo of the girl you thought you were getting, too?

You know I don't because my phone deletes messages after so many rack up in the conversation. I didn't know that until I needed the dang photo (figures). And I didn't save the photo to begin with because at the time, why would I? It was clearly a black pastel behind held in his hand so the photo wasn't great....but I went on his facebook to check out his lesser he said he had. And I actually would have rather had a lesser...so I told him that but then all of a sudden (ironically) he had JUST traded the lesser for a male lemon blast (so he said) so I told him fine I'd take the black pastel female. But unfortunately those texts are no longer in the conversation on my phone.

Either way, even if it was the same snake he sent me or not, I wouldn't have known it wasn't a female by looking at the picture. And at that point in time I wouldn't have matched it up to Frank's anyway. At that stage in the game I thought he was a good guy, man was I wrong.

If you need to go back and get those text messages you can usually contact your cell phone provider and have them send you all of your past text messages. Also some companies let you view it online so you can print them out yourself.

This is truly sad. I think he's #1 on the Fauna list right now!

Is this your Bee in his profile pic Laura?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but lilroc338 for full name says Randall Gilkerson Jr, and lilroc also says Randall L Gilkerson Jr, and they both have Ohio as their location, with lilroc338 elaborating, saying Columbus, Ohio. He stopped using lilroc when he created lilroc338.

On a separate note,I think you should pursue legal measures. Not only would you get your snake back (or the money difference), it would be a warning to other scammers about what could happen to them.

Just my thoughts.

Yes you take the loss. You send the WRONG snake that is worth half the value of the bee. Either send the bee back or send $200 to compensate for the mis sex and value. If your not willing to correct your f*** up then you need to stop selling animals.

Randy - how did she get the same snake you bought from Frank? Look at the side-by-sides above - you can't POSSIBLY say they are different snakes. Well, apparently, when that snake was sent to you, it was a male. Then, in your possession, it turned female. Then, during shipping, it decided to change back. Ask yourself this....does that make any sense at all to you?

Just for the record.....popping and probing are NOT the same thing. Showing that you popped a snake by submitting a picture of a set of probes is nonsense.

So, are she AND the person who sold you the snake wrong about the sex? Or do you think those are different snakes in the side-by-side?
