    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anyone dealt with or even know of this ?company?

They are advertising "GORGEOUS READY TO BREED FEMALE BALL'S!" that are 650-900 grams. They are also stating that with a few meals these females will be ready to breed and at 900 grams are ready to breed. Now I know strange things can happen but I have never heard of personally a female breeding at 650-900 grams. Also they are stating that the animals are "farm Raised". There is no such thing as farm raised. Either they are Wild Caught imports or farm/captive hatched animals. The farms do not "raise" Balls past the hatching season. Any babies that are still left over after hatching season as released into the wild.


We have 7 of the spectacular female BP's available!

These are CLEANED + TREATED farm raised imports.
They are all in the 650-950 gram range.
These are super healthy animals, absolutely NO parasites.
They do not have any scarring or physcial injuries whatsoever.
They have very calm demeanors.
These will make FANTASTIC Breeders without a doubt.
They can be fattened up to breed easily with just a few feeds.
They have not been offered food yet, but should eat with absolutely NO problems.
These are some of the nicest we've seen in a while, you will NOT be disappointed!

I saw this too Rob.

Unbelievable that someone thinks a BP female can breed at this weight.

I personally wouldn't touch this with a 10ft pole.
 
Well I do believe they have said all there is to say and there is no backing out of this one. They simply have no idea what they are talking about and should be avoided at all costs. End of story.

Nice catch Rob, Good Job.

I really like the part where they say they ship MONEY THRU SATURDAY.

Danger will robinson, danger.

Then there's the we HAVEN'T fed any yet but we're SURE they'll eat NO problem.

That's JUST what wild caught balls are famous for, right?

What IS it with that fishy aroma that is surrounding ball pythons this weekend?

First of all, putin shades on :smokin: , wait, I don't smoke :cool: ..........damn what is that freaking ultra flourescent pink crap! :D hurts my eyes.

Second, as Wes mentioned. I can't believe how common it is for people to post so nonchalantly, that they haven't gotten around to feeding a ball python. Like they are a CA king or something.

"Yeah, we've had them for 3 months, so they are LTC :rofl: , we cleaned them up, deticked them, treated them for internal parasites, awesome animals...oh BTW we haven't tried to feed them, but hey, should be no problem (we just haven't had two minutes time to stick a mouse in front of them, as we've been spending so much time doing all that other stuff"
 
I almost bought from them...

I inquired about them a while ago and no one had anything on them so i figured i would give them a try...

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63988

They had a ad for some colubreds at a great price and i asked them to email me pics and they told me thier camera was broke. That night i saw new listings they put up with pics. I emailed about it and they told me a friend took the pics for them. I asked if the friend could take pics of the snakes i was interested in and they told me go ahead and send the money and they will get the pics to me (red flag). I told them i would go ahead and send the money ( lied to them to see what would happen). the next day i asked for the pics and they asked me if i sent out the payment I said yes and they said " we will go ahead and ship the snakes and if you dont like them you can send them back". I told them i wanted to see the pics before they sent them. They said once they cash the money order they will send the pics. They emailed me 4 days later asking about the money order and i told them i wanted pics first and they never emailed me back.
 
Yeah- they've got an ad on KS for "Wild Blood LTC Hogg Islands", but uh oh, no pics available, sorry, but "when you pull one of these out of the sack you WON'T be disappointed" but the price is "a steal". Riiiight. This place sounds so crooked.

Anyone have good dealings with them?
 
Well, some information has been brought to my attention by a friend regarding MSHERPS....

Try this on for size...

Rrrrrrg! Makes me so angry - if they are a reputable seller (we all know they're not) - digital cameras are SO cheap, why couldn't they snap a pic of what they have? Because they have NOTHING! :hot:
 
I also thought this was amusing..... Too bad I own the domain.

Sue me thief, I dare you. :raspberry

And did MS obtain permission to use thier photos in thier advertisements?

Since all of MS's ads have been yanked off kingsnake oh so suddenly I am guessing no....

Thankfully I obtained screenshots of thier ads, If I can find some free time I'll find out where they obtained\stole thier other photos from.......

Not sure I'd want my name to pop up on a "who is" search for that domain name but I'm guessing these thieves will pop up again under a new name.

Thanks for the chuckle. :rofl:
 
which is why I simply re-directed the domains to ours......

I'd rather pay the few bucks to redirect those domains rather than watch unsuspecting consumers fall victim to thier misrepresented animals and lies if they were to set up an internet pressence.....

If he wishes to come here and prove the people on the BOI wrong I'll be MORE than happy to sell them the domains for exaclty our purchase price.

Yes, and we all know that there are exactly two chances of that happening, slim and none. It's safe to say those will stay in your hands until the registration expires.
