Something similar happened to me with a Big Name Breeder. The ad was for an male Enchi het Ghost and I mean it was Smoking! Probably one of the most picture perfect Enchi's you could ever imagine. I asked and confirmed that the Enchi in the picture was the one I was to recieve. When it arrived, much to my suprise.... it was not the same Enchi! Glad I saved the picture on the ad!! I called right away to tell the breeder of the problem and was told the Enchi in the ad was actually a female. Their mistake. I told him I was still interested in that female for sure, and inquired about how many Enchi Het Ghosts they had available. They said they had 1.2 more for sale, including the one that was in the ad that I wanted. I told him I would call him the next day because I knew someone else looking for some Enchis and I would probably take all of them. Well, when I called the next evening, I was told that he didn't here back from me so he sold 1.1 of the Enchis het Ghost. I guess less than 24 hrs was too long to wait even though he had my email and phone number to contact me and let me know someone else was interested in a pair. I shrugged it off and asked about the other female that was left. I said I would definatly buy her because he said it was the one I liked that was originally in the ad. OK then, how much for just her? I asked. His reply.....Oh, we've decided to keep her, she's not for sale anymore!!!

So instead of making things right with me because they sent me the wrong snake, and I was about to even spend more money with them by purchasing 3 more snakes,......they made matters worse!

I will never do business with them ever again! I dont care what reptiles they produce that I want, I'll find someone else!
