Ok, so I'm talking with a friend of mine online tonight that lives in Nevada. I mentioned I had snakes and he said he had one also, but knows nothing about them really. I asked what kind and his reply was 'well, i dont know much about it.. my friend gave me it.. its an albino ball python'. OMG! He dosent even realize the value of this snake, or the rareity of it. So, jokingly I said 'man, I'll drive to Nevada.. give you my ball python and $50 for yours' and he said 'really? alight'. Wooohooo! He's going to take pics for me tommorrow and I'm hoping its really a BP and not burmese. He said its only like 1ft long.. so I doubt its a burm.

If it's what he claims, looks like I'm taking a road trip, HEHE.

What should I do? Keep it and breed? Find somone with an opposite sexed BP And breed? Or just sell it. I know, I know.. you shouldnt buy a snake for those reasons.. but no point in holding onto a $3000 snake at 22yrs old.. I'm not an old guy collectiong snakes and retired you know [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Oh yeah.. you're trying to get that pair where one's albino! Thats sweet.. I love the albino redtail, gorgeous snake. Good luck with that deal [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Btw, you have mail.

If/when I sell this albino BP, I will fork out $900 and buy an albino redtail since thats profit money.. not hard earned [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Heck, it could be a corn snake! I know someone who's vet told her that the snow corn she found (yes, found), was an albino boa. I'd bet with jules, that it's not a ball.

Well, I have my doubts as well.. but, we'll see when I get pics. Anything is possible.. look at people who buy $75,000 paintings or plates at a yard-sale. Someone might have bought one from a pet store with the store not knowing crap about it.. no telling.

UMM ...I know it may sound completely against a person's morals and/or ethics in this day and age BUT you did say this is your FRIEND........

HAS THE THOUGHT OF BEING HONEST WITH YOUR FRIEND EVER COME TO MIND ???? [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
You could offer the info on the snake that you know, if it is what he says it is AND also offer to help ID it too for him. [ Of course that would be rather than &quot;screwing&quot; a friend IMHO ]

ummm.. I feel like I am teaching morality issues to my kids here.. I'm outta here....enough for now.....my kids don't need that lesson...have already been there..done that with them.... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

heeelll no!
dont listen to lori [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] just kidding lori [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

what lori says is true. BUT i would still take it. just me. but i would let him know, and give him a baby when i breed it!

hey- whats all that mess talking about wanting to keep it. heeeeeellll yeah keep it! 22 twenty shmoo- age is nothing. the rate these guys are being bred they will be a couple hundred bucks sooner than you think!

if on the freak chance it is a royal- strait up- you would be dumb not to keep it.
but i agre with julius. its prolly a burm.

I doubt it's likely a Royal, but no one knows for sure. I agree with Lori about moral ethics, but some people just have their own way of doing things.

Like Lori said... this is supposed to be a friend. Even if it wasnt a friend, they shouldnt be done that way. Well, if it is an albino ball(which I doubt it is) and you go through with this deal as is... please be kind to your FRIEND and bring your own vasaline.. You at least owe him that much.
