[eyelids]

I saw this and couldn't believe it... Maybe somebody can explain how this gecko is ready to bread??? :main_no: :main_angry:

SUPER TANGERING HET FOR RAINWATER ALBINO

This little ripper could breed now! We just need to move some of our adults and sub adults, We held back to many and need to clear a few racks, She has been with a SHTCT so she may be gravid. The first $150 takes her this price includes shipping to your door. Visit us on the web, Thank you, J

I have seen that add before. It's been on for awhile....hmmm I wonder why it's not selling???

Yeah it's pretty pathetic. I have seen other adds from this same person selling animals that are "ready to breed" that are plainly not.

I have a notebook on my desk where I have a "do not buy from list". when I see adds like this I put down the sellers name and the reason I chose to put them on the list. This way if I ever see something that I want on kingsnake I can check my list to see if the seller is on there. If they are, I will not even think about buying from them.

Yeah, that guy had some other leos for sale that looked just as bad, if not worse.

WOW, thats terrible, their is no way that female is up to breeding weight. It also seems like a ripp off to me . Hopefully if someone does buy it, it will be someone that will give it proper care.

 

[yellermelon]

Brandy, thats a great idea...Why didnt I think of that
As far as the leo goes, Its just sad. Of all the things I want to say, thats all I can say.

Click on the link to his website and look at his gecko page... Everything on there "could be gravid" and "is ready to breed now" or is "top breeding stock"... They all also have skinny or kinky tails and all look to be about 30 grams or less. He even has non-albinos that he is calling tremper sunglows

Edit: the LV albino female is 30 grams and could be gravid with the kinky tailed male LV albino's eggs....
Im not even going to look at his snake pages. He obviously has no clue what he is doing.

It also seems like a ripp off to me .

Id say so, $150 for a SHTCT (...looks like 10% CT) with such a skinny tail? He probably got it at petco for $20, kept it for a month or two, and is now trying to get rid of it because it wont breed at such a small size. I pretty much stopped looking at kingsnake and other such sites because almost everyone who posts there either knows nothing about what they are selling, or is just trying to get rid of something while making a quick buck. I feel sorry for the good guys who have post on those sites alongside the crooks.
...And dont even get me started on the KS forums :main_rolleyes:

Ill take a shot at it: :main_rolleyes:
This guy is from idiot land.
In Idiot land anything is possible. Infact, geckos in idiot land breed after their first shed and lay 50-100 eggs per day. In idiot land they only eat once per month and dont need to drink water. Also in idiot land, the skinnier the tail the healthier the gecko. I hope I answered your question :main_thumbsup:

If im not mistaken I think they may have some bad guy posts about them at Fauna, either way they are on do not buy list.

 

[marula]

i think the board of inquiry of fauna is one of the place where i spend a ton of time! i have a good memory with name...and for sure i never buy from a post in kingsnake..thare are too many post like this in my opinion..and all bad guys that are around in reptile community try to post sick animals for sale in kingsnake with different name, same pics...really sad

 

[Jeremy Letkey]

I had sent a friendly email to them last week. I was going to offer advice on breeding size, husbandry and morph definitions. To my utter surprise the email bounced from their link on their website.

 

[Nigel4less]

Thats disgusting!!!

 

[fabian60115]

yeah I seen this the other day and I knew sooner or later someone would bust on them for this add. These people cant be serious! Especially when they say its top stock, omg!
