Reptile & Amphibian Forums

They are't the ones in the pics. Those pics were supposed to be thier photo id for thier genetics and the snakes I got are pretty close to the pics but definately not the same snakes. The guy I got them from said he must have given me the wrong pics and was suppoed to email me the right ones today and then mail them to me. Yeah right....oh well. Sh*t happens I guess. They are still a very very nice looking pair of burms but are a bit aggressive and the female is almost 7ft and was born in july! This guy must have been feeding her twice a week. The male is the same age and barely half her size. I feel so bad for her. I'm hoping since she's not the snake in the pic he gave me that she's a little older than what he traded her to me as. She also has a completely normal pattern, not like the het granites who always have the "scrambled" look to them. The best part is I did this trade in person last night. If he is scamming me he sure did a good job at matching the pics up to the snakes I got. Anyway, just needed to vent. I want to wait to say anything on the "other" site until I know for sure he screwed me. Thanks for reading and sorry for the long post.
This is the female I was suppoed to get

That's a very poor practice and you have every right to be upset. Personally, I would have pulled out of the deal and kept my money and do business with someone who is honest and reputable. If you are not satisfied, get your money back and let this person know that you will gladly let everyone on the forums know who h/she is. It is stuff like this that puts a black eye on the hobby. He didn't mistakenly give you the wrong pics; he took advantage of you.
