Speaking of odd PMs, what do you all think about this one:

Would you be interested trading LG for an 08 High Orange Pied Male BP?? LMK

By BP you mean Ball Python, right? We might be very interested in that. Do you have any pictures? Also, which leopard gecko were you interested in?

What do you have available??? Send me your email addy and I will send pics

It's a bit odd, we think, that this person just joined today, and hasn't even posted yet. Also, they don't seem to be interested in anything inparticular, just sending us an email on the off chance we might want to trade leopard geckos for a piebald BP?!? Strange, we've also never heard of a "high orange" ball python. If this is for real, honestly, we'd love to have a HEALTHY piebald ball python, and will likely do the trade, but it seems really weird. I don't think many serious hobbyist would go about it this way..

From what I've learned from his emails, and Fauna, his name is Tim Mcbride, and he's a conartist.

Here's a link to his BAD GUY thread on Fauna:

I suppose it's possible there are two Tim Mcbrides in the hobby, but that's a long shot.

Ya know, I don't like to complain about other people.
But oh my fucking goodness. I think I see at least 5 posts from him before 12 in the afternoon.
Somebody needs to use the search tool. And it's not like he hasn't been told that several times. I know it's none of my business, but why are people like this breeding these beautiful animals without doing any research first? What's he gonna do if by some miracle he DOES hatch some babies? And I wonder what his parents have to say about all of it? It all just doesn't sit right with me.

i think this almost every single reptile expo i go to and atleast twice a week. i was lucky enough to be raised with reptiles my entire life. so when i got into breeding my parents knew what was going on, and i had friends in the buisness that would buy from me anything i couldnt handle. i left nothing to chance...... but when someone just blantely says "im going to breed them just cause i can" i want to start breaking necks and ask how deep the family's gene pool is. and dont forget everyone....
