Had a little run-in with Mr. Gall myself...
The very first ball python I attempted to get (about a year ago) was from Kenny Gall (I just wanted a "pretty one," was that so hard to ask?)... I found a real nice looking male, contacted him, sent the check, and set to waiting... Wrote him telling him of the best days to ship the week after he'd received and deposited my check... Made an arrangement for a Thursday... Never came... Next week, Tuesday, never came.... Same week, Friday, never came... Week after that, Wednesday, never came... Some of the excuses were ridiculous, such as the time when he couldn't send because it was too cold in Spokane (Washington? Isn't he in VA? Or am I missing something here?).... Anywho, I wrote a lot of nasty-mails basically saying "send the snake, a FULL refund, or else" ("Or else"? Ok, so it was a bluff, but it worked)... After a month and a half of bellowing for answers (he stopped explaining or giving excuses for my questions after the 3rd week) I finally got a check back and an e-mail.... He was having a SALE on BPs and was wondering if I'd like one!!! I admittedly wrote a nasty-gram back saying that I'd have to regretfully decline his generous sale offer... (Oh, by the by... Did get my "first BP" from The Snake Hut, a male pos het - I don't care if he proves out, great animal, great pet)...
Since then I've had a few more odd and great reptile encounters; however, I hate having to regard the people I'm trying to do business with as "potential con?" or "whats this person trying to pull?"... Perhaps one day we'll be able to make some sort of tighter knit organization to keep people from pulling this stuff (like the registration/pedigrees of the AKC, UKC, ARBA, and other such organizations - makes fraud a traceable and punishable crime).
Anywho, thats my 2 pennies...
