He's very quiet but yes he is the guy that often silently is in the background buying the rare garters. You can ask some others... The snake in the picture IS the pied garter, it only took one look for me to recognize that ugly pattern from previous photos of her (no offense but I do think she was unattractive!) and yes, she really had babies and then really she died. This is all true, I heard it long before this ad was posted. They are legit. Not good to be calling out a scam before you know the facts!
have to disagree with you Shannon, the fact that this particular advert turned out to be genuine is not the issue, most of us were unaware of the facts you presented, and i have rarely seen a worse photo of any snake in an advert, the prices being asked were not chicken feed so you might expect a better effort than the one given, for most of us this guy had come out of nowhere a complete unknown, my point being that if a real scam was perpetrated on one of the members with similar circumstances to this one, we would all [including you] be wondering how our member could have been so dumb as to fall for it, its right in my opinion to sound a warning if things don't seem quite right and for me that advert looked a wrong'un
