Don't post names or ask for comments on your website (so this thread will remain up) but what are some of the bad experiences you've been a part of?

Maybe you can offer solutions (I'm guessing most will be "research"

...Can't...stop...must...get...more...balls...

a month or so ago someone tried to sell me a pair of pieds from the uk. once they sent pics i recognized the snakes from a book by a big breeder of bps, once confronted the uk person said he was honest-when i told him i spoke with the person who had the snakes his emails stopped. the same pied picture was used on a scam a few weeks later on a auction site. good thing i bought that book or id be out some big bucks

i found a breeder on a classified site claiming to have pet albinos and pieds they can longer keep and they were cheap! I asked for pictures and the looked professional...that coming from somebody who has them as pets? Then i asked for additional pictures which they couldnt provide because they didnt have a scanner and his brother emailed those ones to him... finally i asked if my out of state uncle could pick them up for me (im persistant lol) and the emails stopped darn i woulda loved some cheap pieds and albinos lol I guess ill have to prove my hets out or wait a few years...If the deal sounds good and its local ill ask for a pick up... other than that i wont touch it from an unknown.
