    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.

    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....

Any info on "Michael" selling the Pied hets?

This guy is selling proven Pied hets, giving the lengths instead of weights. Anyone know of him, know the background of the hets?

Dave
 
I read that ad and ask him a question: He says the het female was bred to a "pied" male, and all the eggs were pied babies. Am I wrong; but that will only produce 50% pieds and the rest hets, correct?

I just saw the ad on KS...

and asked myself the same questions you are asking yourselves....Pied male to het female=9 Pied babies. It is possible, but unlikely, but POSSIBLE, so I thought I would ask around and see if anyone has any concrete info on the hets. What happened to the Pied male too? If they are proven, I would be posting some pied pics too.

I got a bridge for sale

As gregh mentioned .... "on paper" only 50% of the babies should have been piebald and 50% should have been 100% het.

Good news .... genetics is a strange little field, stranger things have happened, if the het gene hit ON EVERY OFFSPRING ... YES, he could have gotten all homozygous piebalds, in a perfect world.

Bad news .... from what I've heard/seen ... a het gene (ANY het gene) tends to hit LESS than 50% of the time in reality.

MY OPINION: If you're gonna do a deal concerning these animals ... watch yourself ... sounds a bit shady to me. I'd walk away ... again ... JUST my opinion.
 
I guess it's another kid pulling scam, or someone who is REALLY desperate for alot of $$. When I got my hets, I already had a camera. Lets see: the ad has no weights!! No pics to offer!!! But by God don't low ball him!! LMAO! Almost as good as the boa/ball for sale on reptibid!!

he he he

you guys can't figure out who micheal is?

give you a hint.

Him and his uncle and his dad all have the same name.
because he says they all look alike
 
Thats was the first person who come to my mind Rich but I dont like to point the finger unless I know for sure...Looks like my fisrt impression was wright...lol
 
Lets see what happens

I just sent this to "Michael":

Michael,
It sounds like you have just what I'm looking for. Before I can make an offer that's fair to you I need a couple things. Pics of the animals for sale, the piebald they were bred to and the offspring ... an entire clutch of piebald babies from a breeding to a het .... unbelieveable, congratulations. I'll also need to know what kind of genetic guarantee you give, a copy of it emailed to me and I'll need to see a picture ID when I pick them up (gotta cover my backside, nothing personal). I assume a cashiers check will be acceptable as well once final arrangements are made. I hope to hear from you soon and we can come to a dollar amount
that we both can agree on.
Sincerely,
Blake

Any of you guys that think you know him think I'll get a response?
 
OHHHHHH HELL!!!

I buddy of mine from school emailed Mr. Pimp or Rulez (whoever) and made an offer ... he just sent me the response .. and guess what?
The guy still has them now ..... funny isn't it?

OK I will take it can you pay it to my paypal account and you pay the 3% fee if so my paypal is [email protected]

what a load of bullsh*t ... there's ur answer
 
Just wanted to make one thing CLEAR...

I NEVER intended to purchase the "hets" for the obvious reasons:

1-no pics of a Pied
2-a first name only, no business name or last name
3-Pied to a het =9 Pied babies
4-No explanation of why they had a trio of Hets, proven, but the female was bred by a Pied???

Dave
 
You're not gonna jump on that deal?

Well, I guess I can call the Mental Institution and tell em you won't be needing that room then ... lmao :D
 
Yeah,....

I emailed them and asked what kind of proof they have, they said no pics and they would offer a money back guarantee:) What a crock.....and even if they were real hets, what kind of business practices do they have....pretty poor I would say.
