I thought I would never have to make this post but enough is enough....
June 22nd 2009 -Purchased a animal from Tim of Special K Reptiles labeled "07 Het Yellow Ghost Female for $275
September 21st 2009 - The animal went off food so I threw a male in and they started combating. Pulled the animal out sexed it it was a male.
October 3rd 2009- contacted Tim at the local Repticon Charlotte show. His answer was it has been too long I should have sexed the animal when I got it. Ok sure I should have. He agreed to give me $275 credit. I wasn't happy about it but I was willing to work with the guy. I took the het ghost male to his table his response was "I dont want that". Then tried to work out a deal at the end of the show to end this deal. Offered to work it out on a mojave female priced at $325. He offered to do it if I would pay the $50 difference. I delined and decided we could settle it another time.
December 20th - I emailed Tim on a piar of acrylic displays advertised on kingsnake which simply asked if they were in good condition. He replied almost instantly and said yes they were. I let him know who I was and that I would like to settle our deal and pay the difference. The were listed at $550. I asked him to bring them to the Charlotte Repticon show Jan 7 2010. Never heard back from him.
January 7 2010- Asked Tim about the e-mails at the Repticon show ,Claims he never got them. No big deal.

Asked Tim if we could settle our deal it's been going on too long. Inquired about a Enchi male on the table for $275. He reply's to me he never offered me $275 credit that he was willing to give me $125 credit because I could have sold the het ghost male for $150 at the time. The het ghost male I never intended to purchase. The het ghost male that was worth $150 at the time that he simply said "I dont want that" when it was returned to him. I told him I sold the animal for $30 I was was willing to knock $30 of the $275 credit. He said "no way". We had some choice words and I was on my way.
I have listed all the facts no sugar coating on this one. Should I have sexed the animal sure but I thought I was buying a well represented animal. I can only say I have discussed this issue with 25 -30 different extensive breeders it all comes down to he sold a animal that wasn't what it was supposed to be it should be a full refund.
All in all. This guy will sell you an animal. May be healthy , May be a great price BUT if there is a problem don't expect him to take care of it.
