    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....

I have e-mailed this person "JF" about the hetero for piebald ball python group offered for sale but have not received a reply.

Has anyone dealt with him before?
Has anyone inquired and received a reply from him?
Who's the original breeder of the animals offered for sale?

Below is a copy of his ad:

02 100% Hets pieds balls- Good price
Can ship anywhere in the world
Posted by JF (Contact Me!) on May 30, 2003 at 19:44:48



I need the following to raise money, so my lost is your gain:

1 male 100% hets piedbald born in july 2002 weight 465g

If memory serves correctly that ad used to include "genetics guaranteed for life" and we all know who that is. I could be wrong and probably am but I dare speculate if those arent some of the animals floating around with questionable genetics...not that JF did anything wrong, just possibly a victim trying to regain his possible loss.
 
William,

What's puzzling is that I contacted him/her inquiring about them and never heard back. What you suggest is possible. Maybe "JF" read learned of the other thread dealing with piebalds. One way or the other I hope to get a reply, it's always nice to be on top of who breeds what and what's the ungoing market price for proven morphs.

Thanks.
 
I finally got a reply today. The pythons are actually being sold in Canada. They are from the Kahl's bloodline.

Thanks.

they hets piedbald we're breed by Simon
Brewer and we're bought directly from him. You can
verify this with Simon Brewer at
[email protected] , they are from Peter Kahl
line of piedbald. The hets comes with papers from
Simon Brewer and signed pictures of the animals.

Thanks

Thats great news that Jeans straight up! Glad to hear he wasnt one of the folks with questionable animals. Sucks to beat hell that you have to meticulously inspect the background of every single animal before buying it. >={-
 
This gets better

This guys name (supposedly) is Jean Francois Hammel and is in Montreal, quebec. I contacted this guy because he said he had a male albino ball python on a wednesday in march. He said it was sold to a local buyer on Sunday. The ad was placed on MONDAY!!!! He constanly changes his story and is now, two months later, looking to buy a albino ball python!!! what is up with that? Just wanted people to know.

Dave sign your full name so your post won't get deleted.
It would be truly unfortunate if you were right and your post got deleted.

Well hopefully he will come back and post his full name, but if not I guess I will sign my name to a piece of hearsay.
 
ok, this may have nothing to do with this guy at all, but i may as well ask..
i saw an ad today on ks that i'm very interested in, posted by an 'EK'. no name other than that, and i haven't received a reply yet, but it's only been a few hours.

it's probably nothing, but i'm suspicious of people who don't at least give me a name i can search, especially after reading about another advertiser only using initials..

man i'm paranoid.
