Inquiry - Misty Sprouse Ball Pythons

I am looking to purchase a pair of 100% het albino balls from her, and I was just wondering if anyone has done business with her before. She seems pretty honest and looks like she represents her animals fairly and honestly.

Here's a link to her kingsnake.com ad: http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=32&de=558771

Thanks!

I have not purchased from her, but she seems very patient and polite with me while exchanging emails. I think if a few people came on here and said they have done business with her I would buy from her the same day. But...remember they are HETS so I think you are going in the right direction by doing research on the people you may deal with.

Yeah, we have exchanged a few emails thus far, and she has been quick to reply, often only an hour or so after I send, and has also been patient in answering all my questions. And I would like to hear some feedback from past-customers before I commit.

Thank you for your reply Tony!

A piece of advice is to request dated pics with the actual animals for sale in the same photos w/ the parents. Copulations, eggs and hatchings won't hurt either. The cynicysm from Tonychi01 and myself comes directly from experiences w/ scammers. If she's willing to provide (or reasonably attempt to provide) said proof, she may be worth taking a chance with...especially if she has some references.

Either way good luck! And make sure you post if you have a good experience...the more good guys in this community, the better!

I'd be curious to see if anyone has proved out any of her hets yet...I have heard nothing about her, really, good or bad other than what is here. I do know that I have seen her selling hets for the last couple of years, but never any visuals. On her website, it looks like she owns an albino male, and a couple of 100% het girls that should be old enough to have produced by now (02-03 girls).

Not saying anything either way.....but curious.

I only know Misty from the forums and we have exchanged a few emails. I would consider her fairly straight up and honest.

What I remember of her albino projects is that the smaller het females (05s and 06s) are her holdbacks and she has an older on (03?) that is a mouser that she has been trying to get to size - the last I heard she was hoping it would go this season 07/08.

I think because she doesn't have a reputation yet - she was having a hard time selling the male hets so they may have gotten sold off to pet homes.

I'm pretty jaded as far as hets go - but I think if I were in the market I would buy one from her - for what it's worth.

I'm jaded as well...made a mistake w/ Tony Copertino...which is why I'm advising to just make sure all the I's are dotted and T's crossed...and make sure her pics are actually hers.

Kingsnake.com - I know she posted a lot of her first few clutch pictures and hets.

I have informed Missy of this thread with a link and asked her if she has anyone that can post as a reference...
