There was a guy trying to sell het albinos, het pieds, het pastels, and het spiders on a different forum not to long ago and this is the pic he used.

I have a good notion that the pic is either not his, or it was taken at a show.

I know its a longshot and I tried to clean the pic up the best I could, But please look closely and see if you can help me find the source or owner of the animals.

That if the guy could afford $10,000 snakes, he could afford a $200 camera. I could draw a better picture than that. Check that, I could FINGER PAINT a better picture than that.

AVOID.

The animal in that terrible photo looks more like an albino. But shouldn't the "het-spiders" have been a dead give away that this guy was pulling a scam?

Just a thought.

Here is part of his ad

"""100%het albinos are ---$350
100%hetpiedbalds are -----$375-$400
100%het pastel are -----$250
100%het spiderbalds----$1,300.00
all come with paper and if you have a ??? say 6mounths from know then you can e-mail me at any time you need to if you e-mail me I will give you my # to call me if you won't to"""""

And yes, it is clear that the guy is a crook.
I wanted to post the pic over here in hopes that either the pied or albino would be recognized. The original pic was about 2"x2" and very dirty, looked like it was taken with a camera phone.

He had an auction up for het albino pairs for $400 a few days ago...
I posted this question to him there.."Do you have any more of those het-spiders or het-pastels for sale?".When i knew he was informed of the impossiblity of this one day earlier.
His reply was that he had sold them all but could get more of them.Then he actually asked me what i was looking to spend !
The next day (yesterday)this auction was GONE.

Here is my post to him on another forum(yesterday).

but the first thing you all should have done was to ask me how I got the hets and then I would tell you ... and then you could tell me that they were not worth anything
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what is your excuse for offering to find me some more "Spider hets" TODAY.

To bad you had to close that auction huh...or was it deleted by higher authority.

...Of course there was no reply to my question....

I think you can take better pictures than that with a camera phone lol. I think the finger paint was closer. Ill take a 100% het spider..and a 100% het pastel pair as well. heres a pic I took with my camera phone.
