yep, it's another boa fraud alert...

I have these two animals, a CBB '02 female and a CBB '04 male, both from CFRB. There is someone going around, sending my photos (posted below) to people, claiming they are his animals for sale.


Both the above photos are posted on my other site http://chaoscat.lowerground.net/herps/ but were removed from lowergroundreptiles.net a few months ago.


Both of these two photos are posted on lowergroundreptiles.net AND my other site.

Please be advised that I own BOTH animals in the photos. Anyone else who has been contacted by the scammer, please email me at admin@lowergroundreptiles.net.

Sincerely,
C.A.T. Murphy.

Do you have more information regarding the "seller"? He or she may be doing this with several snake/boa types. Or does the forum not allow for you to post more info? Thanks for the tip!

He sent another e-mail saying that he sent the wrong pictures, and that he was using those to compair his Cay Caulkers with yours, and he sent new pics of his. Not sure if they are really his or if he just found someone elses pics...But either way, I just ignored his e-mail. Its hard to find honest people now days, even if this guy was being honest and made a mistake, things like that you just can't do. If it was a scam I am glad I didn't send him any money.

He already emailed me and apologized, so things are settled for now. Just be careful!

...on a fairly regular basis these days. I will try to post the correct BRB's I got from you in Jan of '04.

First the female:

...who is due to shed any day now. They will both be 2 yrs in Nov? and the male will likely be placed with a female this year.
