Sick to death of these complete wasters now!!

Im offically not bothering even looking at private adverts for any royals anymore, ill pay a bit more and go to breeders for everything.

The last 3 ads ive replied to (even for young normal females) have been Cameroonian idiots wanting my money or id.

Heres another - (theyre getting better with their ads now too, learning not to mention Africa)

Abino royal python for sale
I have a female abino royalthat I want to give to a good home. I have had her for 3 years. She is in excellent
health. my work has taken up all my time and I would rather
give her to a home where she can get more attention. Please make sure
you have done your research on her care before contacting me.n_e_pets@yahoo.com

Thanks for the enquiry well,i am a breeder of these tortoises and i have been with them for 3 years now,i will get you a male jobyhead tortoise at 150 pounds,i ship the tortoise to the uk via air France and they are well cartered for.Have you ever had one before?
Thanks

yes i have had plenty jobyheads in my time,i have a female at the moment and would like to make some small jobies,do you have any pictures of your jobies?
i must say that is very cheap for a jobyhead,i paid £2,000,uk pounds for my female,are you sure you have the brown type of jobies ? perhaps you have the soft shell jobyheads,that would explain the cheap price,soft jobies are not very popular
in the uk.
how would you like paying by the way?

Hey,
sorry i knew you were after soft shell jobyheads that is whyi priced you 150 please the brown joby head is 1000 pounds ,you know they are really comond here we just spend time taiming them and they grow to be very friendly and lovely.I accept any method of payment you want but you will have to make provision for the shipment so that i can ship the tortoise to you.I hope it is clear now?i will proceed once you are ready and you will get your joby just within 7 hours.
Thanks.

Rolling Eyes will keep it going as long as i can Laughing

I think we should all do one Question

See who can get the MOST emails, over the longest time. Bonus points for getting photos of them or their families. A working phone number is also a bonus Wink


I'm off to search for a Camaronian Stink Pot Spider or perhaps an Blue Pointless Skink, maybe some sky hooks and tartan paint while I'm at it Laughing

heheheheh for every add I place I get at least two or three spammers now!

Give me your latest price,,,,,,,,,, god bless you and all your family,,,,, bank five million for me in the name of God,,, my father has recently died and left me a rare diamond seeing as I dont know you I fully trust you to take full delivery of it for me,, I am building a church for underprivileged wallabies,,,,,,,,,,,,

I think I shall ask if they have any: flaccid donkeys, three legged gerbils, albino goat snails, feckarwe pygmy toads, herpes skinks, bladdered humbugs and maybe some mamorieous surprsius Laughing

Three Legged Gerbils are more common than you think. My friend who bred them ended up with one once, I think she said. Didn't survive long though.

Personally, I would like a Dodidicus Deadus, or a Serpentes Plastica.
D'ya know any of these "specialists" who can supply me with either?
*grins*
