i don't try to put no one on bad comment here but a kink animal for $1500 i know we all have the right to put wherever price on our animals but trying to sell a kink one? and the second opinion on Quote: He looks a lot like a ultra-mel and could in fact be one. He will have to be bred to find out. Unquote. am i missing some here? god know that i love caramels and ultramels but its this pushing it
bwt501 02-19-2011, 07:23 AM Plus the thing looks as if it got a Bot Fly grub living under its skin. I wouldnt let that thing within 300 yards of my collection.

snakewrangler 02-19-2011, 09:34 AM The best part of the ad is where he says it could be an ultramel!

Brock
i was just about to say them same...:rolleyes:
and yeah- it really looks like it has a bot fly under his skin. it wouldnt wonder me a bit if it just came in from africa and is full of parasites and never eat in captivity...
and i dont know how it looks on ur pc or laptop, but on my display it looks like a caramel- nothing near an ultramel...:rolleyes:
must be hard days to do things like this...
MichiganExotics 02-19-2011, 12:34 PM that's what i was thinking same opinion here and i know that's 100% caramel it disturb me when he say about he look like ultramel

Nice
Sputnik 02-19-2011, 01:31 PM Good ol Josh.... quality salesman right there!
That's like trying to sell a toy car and call it a hummer, oh and bonus, it has a wheel missing.... so it could in fact be a trike!
Come on Ian only sells quality!
Brock
Ian sells CRAP!
I bought a "perfect" pastel from him a few years ago. Came in with an abcess on the head and died.
I will NEVER buy from him again.
I would not be surprised if this snake dies right after some unlucky person buys it.

Is unlucky, just a polite word for idiot? :lol:

borck was joking there. theyre "famous" in the industry for selling crap and screwing people over. and thats not a big secret- im mean, im from germany and know that...lol
theyre scum!
edit: i just looked at the add again.
this is hands down the best caramel ive seen...
come on... thats just ridiculous. a kinked animal with open wounds (probably from bot flys) with (ok- probably with) parasites is the best caramel he has ever seen...HANDS DOWN???!!!!
I believe Brock was being sarcastic :yes:
I thought so but just in case someone else didn't I wanted to post my one and only (never gonna deal with him again) experience.
Dougless 02-19-2011, 04:30 PM Start a new line of kinked Caramels! Are we not supposed to be trying to breed it out of them? Not introduce new kinked blood into the gene pool. This guy makes me sick. :machinegun:

Same thing I thought. New blood would be nice in caramels to try to start a line without kinking problems.... but using a kinked WC as a founder when the trait already exists is crazy.....:nono:
Although something about seeing a WC kinked caramel makes me feel real bad about the possibility of ever breeding it out of the morph.

tbh i dont think we will ever breed it out. im sure we could create lines that tend less to kinking, but i dont think there will be a kink free line. i think otherwise in over 18 years (i think the first one was 1992- correct me if im wrong tho) we would have done it. people always have bought new caramels from africa that come from no known line but we still havent one.
what really makes me wonder- if ure the dealer- why do u buy a kinked snake which has open wounds and probably parasites? do u really expect it to be sold- especially if it just arrive here and still shows open wounds...???
maybe he got it for 100 bucks or for free because he imported 10000 normals or so- otherwise it wouldnt make any sense to me...
but enough- its not my beer. i just hope they go out of business fast..
MichiganExotics 02-19-2011, 08:29 PM well thats what i was tinking all day 1.- sick animal = Fail 2.- Mislabel a animal= Fail 3.-kink = Fail Fail. i been 5 years breeding balls yes im a newby but i know i will never sell a kink animal of sick one in my life. new lines will be cool u never know if you come out kink free animals and about making names from morphs that's all ready have names just ridiculous a new person get this animal like ultra mennn that piss me off
BULLIES&BALLS 02-20-2011, 09:04 AM I was looking for someone to bring this up. I love where he says looks like an Ultra, breed to found out. :D He must have read the Ultra kink thread started a while back HaHa. The reason the rpice is so high is to cover the expense they had to pay the CDC for all the little "hitchhickers" that come with this guy :D
CeraDigital.com 02-21-2011, 12:43 PM I seen that the day it was put up. I hate to say it, but that animals not worth $1....should've been freezer bait from day 1.
joepythons 02-21-2011, 01:06 PM I cant believe this Josh! He is trying to say ball pythons do not get ticks and such from Africa :eek:.So i posted a link to this sickly caramel and he read it now no more responses :rolleyes:.IF you read here post 6 shows his response to me. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?139133-Grab-Bags
Pitoon 02-21-2011, 06:12 PM i'm too late....they pulled the add. i was really curious to see the condition of the snake. any one got a pic of it?

He's that used car salesman type that no one wants to go near, always has been, someone who made up names for so called morphs that were not proven out at all and someone with a history of selling female ball pythons covered in bad burns and parasites. He'll tell you what he thinks you want to hear to get a sale....
He's THE shinning example of what is completely wrong with the hobby on every bad level....

what's so strange is that many people know all the facts about certain sellers with bad deals.....yet still buy from them?
....it's like putting your hand in the fire KNOWING you're going to get burned.

If the rules of this section were followed, there would have been a screen shot posted. Without it, this thread is unless.
Oh well..

Yeah, I'm sure it happens.... probably influenced by some low low price in most cases.

True!
Yeah - I see that ad is gone and there is one in the boa listings looking for wholesale prices of different boas. The kicker? Must be clean and mite free!:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

W.C Adult male Paradox Caramel albino.
This guy is stunning, he just came in from Africa and is hands down the best caramel I have seen. He looks a lot like a ultra-mel and could in fact be one. He will have to be bred to find out.
He has some very interesting black paradox markings on him that make him even more unusual looking.
A truly stunning animal!!
He weighs 992 grams, and is ready to breed now.
As you can see in the pics he does have a kink in his lower back. This does not seem to affect him at all, and will not affect his breeding either.
This is a great chance to get a amazing animal that is very unique at a great price!
He is available for $1500 shipped!
Thanks

Open sores on imports with big price tags seems to be the norm with these guys. Worth her weight in gold. Yeah, you'll need a lot of gold to pay the amount of vet bills this one will cause. :rolleyes: I wonder when Josh is going to hook up with Capone.

norsmis 02-22-2011, 05:32 AM Josh is total scum and like sputter said, he is what is everything that is wrong with this hobby/industry.
Josh, I know you come here and read threads. You are a waste of oxygen and the lowest form of life imaginable. One of these days your shady dealings will catch up with you and a disease will wipe out your business.... I hope it happens soon.

I will never understand it...saw Outback at a show last weekend and it is unbelievable how many people flock to their tables like they are the saviors of herpetoculture...actually its that way at every show they attend...on Saturday they were slinging WC gravids for $100...
smoke_eater 02-22-2011, 11:57 AM Just curious...do imports go thru customs before they are brought into our country and quarantined. Not familiar with importing of live animals.
joe23 02-22-2011, 01:47 PM Just curious...do imports go thru customs before they are brought into our country and quarantined. Not familiar with importing of live animals.
yes- they have an eye on them and look if everything is ok- but quarantine- nope...
at least not what we reptile breeders would consider a quarantine...

It's all about the money.... nothing else. Their WC gravids are clearly not quarantined at all.... and it's a dirty practice to start with. Flea market sellers....

A++
Pitoon 02-23-2011, 05:41 PM sad truly sad. we all know caramels...have a kink issue. but why would you want to promote it in an ad saying it's ready to breed now?
a kinked animal yeah make it a pet....but to breed it? that's to show you exactly where their position is at.
i believe a real breeder...a true breeder will always try to improve their bloodline whether it's by new blood or by line breeding to exaggerate a specific trait. but to breed an animal that has a defect.....makes me question ones ethics....
