Seems like a few people are biting to his add.
Just contacted him and he told me he was out of town till Thursday and couldn't/probably wouldn't because they would be sold by then send me pictures.
Have bought from people (well respected)(Cement, Rick Walker, etc.) from here and other sites before and proven to be neither tyre kicker or photo collector but how is he to know this in his defence. However when out laying this kind of money I don't think this an unreasonable request as if your paying $2000 could result in skinny, unhealthy dogs then $2000 is not such a good price.
By NO way am I saying they are unhealthy, just would like a little assurance (even though photo is not 100% insurance but that's another story).
He also told me that they were Aussie GTP's which make the price even cheaper and so far he has seemed genuine.
*Did a little more research and a person by the name of Tom Burke comes up as a well respected breeder of GTP's, Emerald Boas, Ball Python morphs......... in USA. This may mean little more than he knows of the bloke and has adopted his name for Gmail account but now I think I am happy to go a little more slowly and definately will not enter a bidding war.
I can wait till VHS expo Feb 2013 where I can get to choose and look at parents etc. or buy off Cermack- Green Effect for slightly higher prices again but a whole lot of reduced stress and anxiety.
