Craigslist finally pays off...

Scored a free almost breeding size female normal today. Pics tomorrow.
I have to recheck the sex with the probes, but I am 90% sure it's female. Nice and docile too.

The dude had two snakes that were given to him but only wanted one, so...my gain!

Hey, where was this at? Sounds REAL familiar!

I got her from Middlebury, Ct.

Snake ads don't last long on CT craigslist. Some psycho flags anything and everything with a rehoming fee...then when you try to rehome for free...they flag that.
And they flag pretty much anything with reptiles...

I hate Craigslist. haha.

i got a breeding size female "burgundy" ball on craigslist for $20. There is a jewel in every rock.

That sounds like what happens when you try to post rats on craigslist in South Jersey. Some nut job flags them and then makes posts informing you what a monster you are for breeding rats.

Oh God...the same thing happened to me! I was told that it was illegal to breed rats without a license (total bs) and that I shouldn't rely on other people to clean up my messes...by someone who had the English writing skills of a mentally challenged chimp...(aka some PETA member 12 year old girl...)
I felt like saying "Well...I was just trying to save them from death by gas chamber, but if you want, I'll just kill them all and not think twice..."
Which is true...I just figured I'd offer some cool looking rats to pet rat enthusiasts.
Some people are just stupid...

There are morons everywhere, on every list. Though I don't use craiglist much myself...I haven't had any problems with it when posting things I have for sale. Other than it took me awhile to find the pet section.

The whole 'adoption fee' thing is ridiculous to be honest, I don't see why they are so against selling pets.

I haven't had much response to ads I put up on Craiglist compared to other sites I have used, so its not a place I intend to post on again in the future as it is.
