Was I sold the correct snake?

[erie-herps]

Okay, that makes a bit more sense that that was the one he was recommending versus the only one with a discount.

[eaglereptiles]

That’s $75 + shipping saved… Or a extra $225 spent, depending how you want to look at it.
If this is for breeding plans, do you have the need for a firefly het pied?

@magicstallion

she was the only female he currently had

Was there any males that would fit better Into your plans?

The males were from the same clutch as the banana I got so I’m at about 5 of each currently but looking at a Butter champagne blonde pastel enchi male so another female would balance the mix I think. Currently I have a Pastel banana, the banana het pied, a black pewter bee, a Het clown a pastel spider, and a GHI ghost with a couple commons all hatchlings for future projects so I’m trying to build a range

Yeah its one thing to state that there are multiple animals with the same genes and another to advertise a single snake and not even send that one.

[westridge]

Out of curiosity, have you checked the sex of your animal? If he sent you the wrong animal, it might not be a female.

[nathan_e]

I didn’t even take that into account when reading this. I am sure you already know but female bananas are much more expensive on average than compared to a male.

I believe the guy was sincere and it was an honest mistake. If I thought he was being shady I would have called him out on it here rather than keeping his shop redacted.

I should only be so lucky. I’m at work but Ill pop him when I get home. I haven’t yet as he just arrived yesterday and didn’t want to stress him more.

yeah, I have a pastel banana female who was about $100 more than he was.

[jrc_retics]

Given he sent you the wrong snake, even if by mistake, I would ask to see the parents of the clutch. I personally wouldn’t gamble on it being het pied, without proof.

Just a heads up, while this topic is fine itself, the name being redacted is necessary.

@john

Your options are:

1. Share here, but without names to get general advice and feedback.
2. Leave ratings/reviews at MorphMarket if you purchased through an inquiry on the site.
3. Contact MorphMarket support through email if you’ve been scammed or ripped off.
4. Go to another forum where this is supported. We recommend Herpetoculture Feedback and inquiry facebook group.

Thank you sir for potentially saving my ars in the future

[melissa45]

Personally, I think the snake they sent you has way cooler markings on its headstamp, but that’s just my biased opinion…very nice looking morph.

[bigmac30]

Defo ain’t the same snake

[morph_mafia]

Not the same snake.

[the_python_burrow]

Did you leave this in the sellers rating? It looks like his lighting was enough for you to tell its a different animal.

[samurai_pythons]

Wheres waldo

[pumpkinpieds]

Yeah, definitely false advertising. That snake with the head stamp is probably their hold back. Try and see what the sellers policy is, this is very unfair if those pictures are supposed to be the animal you’re getting.

[mrg87]

that really doesnt look like the same snake to me.

[nikkip81]

I personally would send the animal back, seller pays shipping and full refund. I would not trust anything he says. I do not see how this was a simple mistake.
