Money back guarantees are worthless when the person dissapears and you find out at a later point that you don't have enough information to obtain restitution.
The situation is odd enough to warrant some suspicion, the snakes' appearance and the questionable features of the photograph make it worthy of additional scrutiny, the fact the individual in question has a history of misrepresenting animals in deals makes it deserving of an in depth analysis and some serious questions about the origin of these animals.
In the thread below this one, I offered and continue to offer a way to validate his claims despite my skeptisism, I'm sure others would do the same if asked...
If he simply provides the contact information for the wholesaler he claims to have obtained them from and the story can be verified then he's in the clear and will end up generating additional revenue for himself (never a bad thing)while removing the questions of others.
In addition to that, if these were two animals from a single clutch and they ARE legitimate, the clutchmates and mother just became quite valuable as well, again additional income for himself and those who have done him this favor.
If he refuses to provide the relevant information, while it is not something that will prove guilt, it most certainly is additional suspicious behavior. People are judged by how they act, redemption must be earned, it is not given without hard work and dedication to prove that the past misdeeds were an anomaly.
