I recently bought a black throat monitor that was advertised in the kingsnake classifieds as "CBB." When I received it, it appeared to be in poor health. It looked emaciated and dehydrated.

When I contacted the seller, he said that that's the way black throats are supposed to look-- and that the one he sent me looked like the one in his ad.
