Info Paul Edwards - Hets

[Marcial Mendez]

I will start by saying that, under normal circumstances, this post would be a bit premature. Usually, I would never post it at this point. However, given the recent developments concerning Mr. Edwards' business practices, I thought I would go ahead and post, mainly to see if others have had the same experience.

In Fall 2007 I purchased 1.2 het ghost ball python hatchlings from Paul that were advertised on KS. They were good feeders, and I got them all up to breeding size quickly. I got a clutch out of both females in 2009: one clutch of 5, and one clutch of 6 for a total of 11 eggs. Both of these girls were bred to the het ghost male that came with them. These eggs recently finished hatching, and I got zero ghosts from the 11 eggs.

Like I said, I know this could very easily be a case of bad odds / luck; however, with 11 eggs there should have been a ghost in there. I will breed the females to a homozygous ghost next year and see what happens.

Has anyone else had poor luck with hets from Paul Edwards?

Marcial, Paul offered me a piebald BP as payment for the $1100 of mine he spent paying his personal expenses. I asked him to sell the snake , I would prefer cash, he agreed. After about 6 weeks of no word I emailed Paul to say if he couldn't sell the snake I would take it and cut my losses. His response was that he had sold the snake and spent the money on business expenses. Apparently honesty is not his strong suit.

I purchased two female pastels from him. He sent me one of the ones I had ordered and another that I'd never seen. When questioned he said the other had died of an unknown illness and that I shouldn't care as one snake was just as good as another.
He didn't care at all that he didn't honor our agreement. He is indeed a liar and a cheat.
