Lol do you have to ask? :lol:

I'm sure if you email them for more info you'll get the usual spiel about how they are overseas tracking a rare bird species (the Bannermans Turaco?) for the WWE and how they just last week shipped some animals to a friend in Brisbane Then they will offer to send them to you for no cost, with a CITES permit of course, as long as you cover the shipping fee of course

 

[MatE]

Ill take one lol

 

[abbott75]

will be coming with all documents

Yeah, like a carbon copy of the bribe cheque...

 

[sigridshurte]

it wouldn't suprise me one bit, its easy to get things into the country .

 

[sigridshurte]

lol i would be im to chicken LOL

 

[caustichumor]

I might get a couple to play with my tiger cubs....

 

[lachie96]

i live pretty much in the suburb right next to them so i could just say yeah ill come round and look at them. Then id just wait to see wat the excuse in his response would be.

It's a win win situation! If they're real you get to play with monkeys, if it's a scam you get to humour us with their response!

Their response will be, "We are overseas at the moment and have brought them with us, but don't have time to look after them, etc" or some variation of the above. I guarantee you

 

[adbacus]

Forget about them, I can do you all a better deal with marmosets and tarsiers. They're easier to housebreak and aren't as fussy eaters.

Am willing to deliver....

"a hand Manuel to help you on how to take care of them."

Que?

 

[slim6y]

No it's not a scam, i've already picked up two breeding pairs of these monkeys.

They had an orangutan to... but I don't like gingers....

 

[Sdaji]

Anyone want to buy a Fuzzy Kwompledomp? Cute, very affectionate, low maintenance pets. Only $35 each.

Have you got any hatchies this season?

 

[slim6y]

That's a rip off Sdaji, you can tell you're lying... They go for a minimum of $600 - stop scamming us with these ridiculous underpriced Fuzzy Kwompledomplings.... Yes.. that's the correct pluralisation! I have TWO! And, although they look suprisingly like guinea pigs I was assured they were Fuzzy Kwompledomplings... Guinea Fuzzy Kwompledomplings to be precise.... And they were $600 each!

 

[slim6y]

Don't be silly, they're not called hatchlings... they're called babies... and no.. they haven't bred... they got eaten by my anaconda I got from the same site... sore subject OK!

When I went in to resuce them I tripped over the komodo... and by then it was too late...

The guinea fuzzy kwompledomplings are still ok tho

Why were they in an enclosure together!?:shock:

Were you trying to breed a *gasp!* HYBRID!?!

 

[slim6y]

Again, if you haven't got anything productive to say abbott75 then don't say it at all... No.. i wasn't trying to make super moncondas.... It's a silly notion... The anaconda escaped when I was cleaning out the chameleon enclosure - it was an accident.... I mean it's quite easy to lose a 30 metre long snake... they're camoflaged you know. Well, anyways, a series of unfortunate circumstances happened... and the komodo got out when the monkeys stole my keys... they ooooh oooooh ahhh ahhhh'd but didn't see the anaconda... because of the camoflage... and the anaconda had already eaten them all... by time I got to it and tripped over the komodo...

Anyways... the anaconda is still on the lose and it has a taste for monkeys.

Oh my condolences! I think I might contact the advertiser, explain you plight and take the monkeys into protective custody!

I'll have to feed the boa first though... Anyone have a goat?
