I guess I should add that I dont offer anything for sale on my "homepage" also suspicious!

Play along and somehow make them mail you something. It cost a bit to send letters or anything to the US. Or give them a fake phone number to contact you at so they have to make a long distance call.

I have fun with these.

Good luck.

I should add that I did want to put thins in the BOI, but i couldnt find it, and i was in a bit of a hurry this morning!

And yah, I think I am going to play with them a little

When/if i start breeding i want to collect the travelers cheque they send. I've heard of stories about what some people have put them through...absolutely hilarious.

I just received this one this morning. Check out the animals they sell! Hilarious. I hope it's a joke.

This one is the best I've received yet.

You mean I could get my very own Mogwai? And Gnome! Finally a place that sells them! Order me some right away!

These people get funnier each time

 

[riverjop]

Ask them if they can get some adult &/or baby Komodo dragons! that should be interesting! Also ask if they have male & female gnomes? Because I need a female to set next to my male at the edge of my pond!

 

[ShannanD25]

I want a female and male Mogwai!
So I know what happens when you feed them after midnight, and if you get them wet....but what happens when you breed them?
Wonder if the "exporters" would know?

 

[Herpcam]

I bet prices on the mogwai would drop faster than albino leopard geckos with their ease of reproduction. You don't even need a pair of these guys.

Wonder if they're restricted by CITES. That would explain their absence from the local pet stores.
