I have been emailing back and forth with a person that had just bought a Boa. The Boa was supposed to be from my Co-Dom / High Pink Striped Line. The Victim, and I am not giving out his name because I did not ask permission to, Was told that this snake was from my Line of Co-Dom Striped Boas, was born in 2003 and produced by me. Furthermore he stated that the snake was 50% het for albino.
Right off the bat I knew something was wrong, once the Victim contacted me. I did not produce 50% het for albino babies in 2003 only in 2001. The snake was small only about 50 inches and the person selling it stated that he was feeding on a maintenance diet?
The guy who bought the snake did not know the name of the seller right off the top of his head so I was unable to get that, but he is from Texas. I sent the Victim the link to my 2003 Striped Line litter and he confirmed that the snake was not one of mine.
Please if any one is claiming to be selling you a snake from any of my lines, check with me first. I keep pretty good records and photos of my babies, I should be able to verify if they came from me or not!!!
I hate scammers, I might even have to take a trip to Texas to introduce my foot to his A$$!
Well Just a warning, check before you take an unknown persons word on the lineage of his snakes!
