The following is an advert off the classifieds, note the key words in bold:

Quote:
Adult Male Albino Burmese Python, nearly two years old, Excellant feeder, has 2 large rats a week. Six/severn foot in length, about 4/5 inches in girth at largest point. A little fiesty, he likes to give a good hiss. Should calm down with more handling. I took him as he was being mistreated. Based in somerset 120 quid, No time wasters please.


Those words/phrases in red made me chuckle but i quite liked the ones in green too.

I think someone should reword the add for the seller (who left no contact details) to something along the lines of:

Quote:
Young male albino burmese python, just over a year old, eats 2 large rats a week, agressive so experienced keeper needed. I took him on as my mate was bored of him but now i'm bored so i thought i'd try to get some cash.


Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Can ya tell i'm bored?? Twisted Evil Rolling Eyes Wink
