I looked again at some of his repost ads. The first thing that caught me as strange was when I saw a snake listed as a jungle corn, then it was reposted as a corn/bull hybrid (exact same pics used.)
The next thing is, I checked through the "features" on reptibid and looked again at some of his old ads vs his "new" ones. I have found the IDENTICAL pic in an ad for a snake described as "Nice Pattern Juvy Female splendida hybrid" and also "Female Juvy Brooksi ". There is no doubt that this is the SAME snake posed in the same position on the same background.
Here is the current ad

I also found ads for what looked to me like the same snake, I even THOUGHT that I could tell that the band irregularities on the snake looked the same, but I could be mistaken. The snake that LOOKS the same has been described as "Beautiful Lavender Albino Jungle Hybrid" and as "Beautiful Juvy Lavender Albino Brooksi". Now, like I said, I could be mistaken about these 2 pics, since I don't know what a lavender albino brooksi looks like and the pics are bad. If anyone would like to take a look....

Of course, if this guy is legit, he does have a snake that I would like to buy. The problem is, the last I heard from him was 2 days ago. I have not heard a peep from him since I asked who the breeder was and for some background info on the snake. He could be busy for the holidays, so I have taken the period of silence to try to check up on him since I feel kinda funny about the whole thing and wanted to find someone who has dealt with him and could maybe give a good review for him.
Please let me know what you think.
