    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....

Has anyone heard of this fellow? I am thinking about getting an albino female from him. His is asking $480 for a 7 year old. Is this a fair price? She is 100% albino. Something struck me as funny in his last e-mail. No caps and a bit odd on the grammer (heavens know I am not the best at spelling or grammer), but that is a ton of money for me. Any thoughts?
 
"Has anyone heard of this fellow?"

I Never done business with this person that I am aware of.

"I am thinking about getting an albino female from him."

An Albino What?

"His is asking $480 for a 7 year old. She is 100% albino. Is this a fair price?"

There is no way to tell, as we have no idea what species it is or if it is actually an albino or a het?
 
she is an albino ball python. LOL guess I thought you could read my mind ;) She is not het but actually an albino, beautiful from the photos.
 
$480.00 for a 7 year old Female albino Ball Python! Honestly, it sounds too good to be true. I would say that if you add on another 0 to the price you would be closer to her actual market value. I would be very careful. Can you meet this person? If not, do you know someone in his area that could meet him and help do the transaction (in person with him) for you. I don't know, but something is just not adding up with those figures... :confused:
 
Where is he advertizing? And can you post pics? I think people here might just want to see this snake.
 
Thank you. I thought it was too good to be true. He started out at $900 and droped the price almost in half when I said I could never come up with that amount of money. He also said (something to the fact) if you are the first one to contact me you can have her at this price. Now I work in sales, that is an OLD pitch to spur someone to "get it before the other gets it". I have never seen an albino female of that age on the sales board so I had no idea how much she was worth. I asked him where he lives and a contact phone. I am waiting for his reply. Thank you again
 
That's too good to be true even for a 100% hetero for albino. It would be important to know where he is posting.

Regards.
 
These are the e-mails I got. I wish I could remember where I got the add from (I was surfing late one night looking and stumbled across a buntch of adds for ball pythons. IF I remember correctly Dragons Den also had an add at the same place (but I could have been totaly wrong as I was looking at a ton of adds and thought what the heck I will just shoot out emails and see if get anything back. I am looking into it and seeing if I can retrace my steps to find the add. I have a photo he sent me (but I have NO idea how to post it and all my attemps at posting have been :( ) if anyone can post it for me I will email it to you.

This whole email thing is a bunch of crap. Run, run, run as fast as you can and don't look back.

This person obviously knows NOTHING about BP's. :detonate: :2gunsfiri
 
:( I thought that was odd also but, I guess I was wishing it wasnt a scam. Dose anyone feed rabbits to their BP's? At least I got a nice photo of a pair of albinos for my trouble ;)
 
Angela,

The e-mail is from the UK. It is very possible it is a scam. Someone might be able to recognize the picture. Hopefully they will load.

Regards.

Definitly, a scam. Do those look like 7 year old balls to you? They sure don't to me. I sure would like to see one of those little guys eat a rabbit like the guy said! I also like the part about one being 100% Albino, and the other being 50% albino! Anyone else catch that? This is obviously some Ding Dong scammer that read something about het for albino animals and did not fully understand the whole concept. Wow, what a winner. :crazy03:
 
Yeah I did see the 50% vs. 100% albino reference. That is absurd. Don't give this fraud any of your money. :no01:
 
Angela,

If you browse through the old ads in ReptilesPark you will see several complaints of people that were scammed by different individuals. Not sure why that is. Maybe because of the fact that the site allows anonymity for the one that posts the ad? Anyways, I’m glad you checked the BOI before. One way or the other I don’t think you would have thought of sending money to the UK! :)

Best regards.
