He is trying to sell piebald ball pythons which generally sell for about $1500 depending on their patterns. He sent me pictures of the same snake and said that they were different snakes. I confronted him about it but he said that they were related. That is impossible for related snakes to have the same pattern let alone similar ones like he was claming. I sent him a picture of them next to each other. He also seems to have forged a document saying that he is alowed to ship pythons to "USA WORLD WIDE" I wonder if I could get him in trouble for forging a legal document. His name, or at least what he cals himself, is Ndonwie Calvin F. and his email is funwiecal@yahoo.co. I tried to hack into it but I couldn't although I did find out that he only created it on the third of november. I’ve got one now!
