Celina Mathiesen's profile is here: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/member.php?u=195255
She recently joined Faunaclassifieds on August 11th, 2019. She posted two pied animal projects for sale, one was a female coral glow pied for $350 and the other was a clearly mislabeled mojave ghost het pied female that was advertised as a mojave het pied female. I don't recall the exact price she was asking for for the mojave female, but it was a subadult from the photos and I remember the price being extraordinarily low, like $150-250. She has since deleted both ads, and those were the only two ads she posted that I am aware of.
The problem is that the ball python breeders here in Georgia are all a pretty tight-knit group and there is only one person in Georgia currently working with mojave ghost pieds, which is Deborah Stewart. I will admit I haven't contacted Deborah about this, but Deborah lives in Braselton, Georgia, and Celina lives in Maretta, Georgia. It's not beyond the scope of reality for Celina to have purchased animals from Deborah, except I know what Deborah charges and there is no way she'd let animals like this go for that price.
Milo Garcia (user name is the same) and I both inquired on the mojave ghost het pied female. Neither of us received a response. I also commented directly on the advertisement, explaining that I lived relatively nearby and it was nice to see another Georgia breeder on the forum. I'm not sure if potential accountability scared her off, but everything is now deleted (except for my private message to her). She posted the coral glow pied ad last week and it was deleted in just a couple of days.
Right now this user is smelling like a scammer. If anyone else can come forward who may have done business with her, please do so. Until then, please exercise caution.
