This guy has been posted ads: "Well tamed Collection of Ball Pythons" The name may also be fake.
The deal is a scam from his emails, below is a sample of his actual response to a inquiry. He also attached many images, about 1/2 of which are taken directly off my site and are of animals that I currently own.
His reply to inquiry, inquirer name is omitted.
"thanks for interest in our Ball pythons we got for adoption.We do have Albino, Pie-bald, Pastel and Spider pythons available for adoption to any home that is willing to provide the best for them.They are hand raised, have been fully checked, captive breed and also tested .They come along with all Vet papers including a Health Guarantee which proves that they are in good Health.Their weights range from 400g and 430g and each is a little over 2.7ft. long.My Snakes do great in smaller cage considering their size. I do feed young ones every 7 to 10 days and my likely to be adults snakes every 11 to 14 days. This is a small sketch on how i do feed them;
Young Pythons : 1 Pre-killed Fuzzy Mice every 7 days
Almost adult pythons: 1 Meduim Pre-killed Fuzzy Rat every 10-14 days
As they grow, the size of their prey can increase too.My snakes are being housed in a 40 gallon sized terrarium.In addition, i have tried to create hiding areas, climbing branches, and a water dish large enough for my snakes to soak in. I do have a good quality substrate which always keep the snakes happy so I'll advice you try and get things ready so they can get used to their new environment .Heating your cage can be accomplished via heat lamps (protected from the snake), under-tank heaters, ceramic heat emitters, or a combination of those. My Snakes are very easy to handle and come with all accessories.
I decided to let them go because i recently got a Job and due to it's Hectic nature i really do not have the time i used to have to look after them properly. You know snakes require a lot of attention that is why i am looking for an experience home for them. Right now, i do have 15 snakes in all (4 pie-balds, 6 Albinos, 3 Pastel and 2 Spider Royal pythons) and i am willing to let my pie-bald pythons go for an affordable adoption fee of $400 each and rest i will take $250 each. I have attached some pictures so you can take a good look at them and i wish to inform you that these pictures are recent ones. Where precisely are you located? Which of my snakes are you interested in? what particular sex?. It will cost an additional $75 to have a Box of snakes heat packaged and shipped overnight to you. Best regards"
Hope this helps people avoid being scammed.
