Rant

So I was surfing around my local Craigslist page, and emailed a guy who posted that he was selling his snake collection. I asked what kind of snakes he was selling and if he would have any 4' vision or boamaster type cages available. He gets back to me with a laundry list of snakes...from a 6foot anaconda to gravid carpet pythons. He says he doesn't have any tanks like that, just 20 gallon long tanks.....20 gallon longs for an anaconda?!?! He also says he has some boa morphs. So I asked what type of morphs. He says a gravid Bolivian, 6' Guyana, and a Peruvian.

Am I a noob, or are those NOT morphs...just diffrent localities? I have a bad feeling that this guy just trolls around looking for people getting rid of their pets for free and is now trying to make money off them. I mean to house an adult boa in a 20 gallon tank? seriously?!?!

Sorry, just had to rant a little.

I don't really cruise craigs list, could you ask for pic's of these "morphs" and see what he shows you, if he is misrepresenting is there a way to report him on Craigs list?

I would think that nothing he has is gravid either and probably a good guy to stay the heck away from.
