I'm a little embarrassed about buying the snakes without doing the proper research ahead of time, but I might as well save someone else the same mistake.
Anyhow, the seller to whose ad I had referred pulled the ad to change the reference to quail eggs - this is certainly to his credit. I think a lot of sellers aren't lying so much as assuming that the D. medici will be like D. scabra, D. inornata, and D. atra, all of which are much more commonly imported.
I've posted two Dasypeltis pictures so you can see what they look like. The one on the top is the D. medici. The one on the bottom is a D. scabra. D. scabra vary a lot in pattern, but most of them (some are solid colored) have a lot more blotching and spotting than the D. medici and have a slightly thicker build.
Cheers,
Billy
