The snake at the end is a piebald, cute savs too.

how much were the lace monitors?

[Bradyloach]

They were 300$ is that bad? Captive bred

[Wiggles92]

Sorry, but those definitely appear to be Nile monitors rather than lace monitors.

They should look like the babies that are pictured below if they are indeed lace monitors.

For comparison, here's a picture of a baby Nile monitor.

Oh well he said they were lace, or maybe he said Nile? I forget :p

[Wiggles92]

IMO, I think that $300 is a pretty good deal for CBB baby lace monitors, but it's an extra zero too much if it's for baby Nile monitors. At least here in the States, Nile monitors can be had in the $30 range, if not less, regardless of their birth status simply because so many get imported from the farms in Africa. The ones that are pictured are Nile monitors, though.

Looks like there are TWO ball pythons in there, not just one... One is definitely a pied. Can't tell the other from the photo though.

[SpOoKy]

Is this the same place you are getting your enclosure from?

[Bradyloach]

Yes!! It is

[SpOoKy]

Doesn't look like this "good old man" took any of your advice on monitor care...
baby savs on sand with a open top, and is that a salad in there with them???

[Bradyloach]

Yea... They all have salad hahahahaha they don't eat t tho

[infernalis]

So at the reptile shop here there captive bred savs hatched!!!

Doubt it Brady, those animals are farmed.

[BarelyBreathing]

Those are nile monitors, not lace monitors. Way over priced. By about 280.

[millertime89]

Doubt it Brady, those animals are farmed.

I was about to say... I call BS on the baby Savs being CBB. If he's labeling them as such you need to get your money back and never return to that store. Which I would encourage anyways if he's got Niles listed as Laces and priced as such... I can't stand bad business owners.

[KORBIN5895]

Welcome back BB!

Avoid that store like the plague Brady. He seem to be an overall liar.

[Bradyloach]

yeah, well maybe he said nile monitors! im not to sure. anyways i went in yesterday and he gave me 1000 crickets because the cage was late..... very nice man.

[KORBIN5895]

So he gave you $10-25 dollars being over a month late on your order? Wow!Lets give that gent a medal!

Seriously Brady that guy is a terrible business man. Look on reptilescanadaand find an enclosure. I am positive you could get one from a better place cheaper even with shipping.

[Lankyrob]

At a month late i would be looking for at least a 50% refund on the purchase price, a week is bad, two weeks is unacceptable but a MONTH!!!! :(

[Bradyloach]

yeah i know, im kinda mad.... but he showed me cages he got in yesterady and there so nice..... it will be worth it to just wait trust me. when you guys see it this week..... youll deff be amazed. Hes saying its taking the guy so long because he has to make it come apart in 2 diff pieces

[KORBIN5895]

Dude. Take some advice and shop around. I have seen several people pushing nice stuff on rc. Trust ME. This guy is pulling your chain. I thought he needed a part and that's why its late?

[Lankyrob]

Does seem that the story changes each time there is a delay, i really think he is having you on :(

[Bradyloach]

first was because the locking part. now hes just configuring it to fit in by basement. its hard he said..... for that im giving him this week. then i told him im moving for the summer which i am....

[KORBIN5895]

Maybe it will be done in time or you to pick it up when you move back home this fall.;)

[Gungirl]

This "cage" has become a joke....

[alessia55]

I think he should be giving you a huge discount for the cage order. This is ridiculous...

[SpOoKy]

This "cage" has become a joke....

I am with you Kat...There is many things that have been fishy about this "cage" and guy.

Brady...Take it from people who have been around longer than you. This guy may seem like a nice guy to you but you don't have much to compare to. 1000 crickets is not a nice gesture it is almost an insult. I feel as though this guy is taking advantage of you. This has all been said before and I get the feeling it is going in one ear and out the other.

I feel sorry for the poor baby sav's that this "nice" guy is going to sell to people and tell them to keep on sand and feed salad.

[MoreliAddict]

first was because the locking part. now hes just configuring it to fit in by basement. its hard he said..... for that im giving him this week. then i told him im moving for the summer which i am....
That will give him incentive to NOT finish the cage. You should start working on getting your money back now before you move...

[BarelyBreathing]

The cage doesn't exsist. The man took your down payment and you are never going to see the enclosure.

[Bradyloach]

ive seen it!! hes just making it so i can fit into my basement. its an 8x4 its not fitting in my basement that huge.

[BarelyBreathing]

Have you seen the actually enclosure that you're getting? The same one? The reason it's taking so long is because they can't make the modifications.

[Bradyloach]

YES they brought it in but it wouldnt fit through there special door. so he took a pic of them trying to get it in. and took pictures of all the sides. now hes just making the mods to put it back together for me. and boom it will be here this week

[Gungirl]

So they made a cage to large to fit out their doors? If they are not smart enough to know the size of their doors I bet if this cage is even real it will fall apart and be junk in a matter of weeks.

[Bradyloach]

i dont know about that...... there really nice. just wait and see before your judge it.

[SpOoKy]

The cage doesn't exsist. The man took your down payment and you are never going to see the enclosure.

BINGO!

So they made a cage to large to fit out their doors? If they are not smart enough to know the size of their doors I bet if this cage is even real it will fall apart and be junk in a matter of weeks.

So they are modifying it to fit into their door, but what about when it has to leave the door again to go home with you???
Also, seeing as this is a store that gets deliveries, usually they have larger sized doors. If it doesn't fit through theirs...how is it going to fit through your average house size door?

Honestly, I don't see this turning out okay.

[KORBIN5895]

Well I am done here. Good luck Brady.

[Bradyloach]

yeah, thanks. im going to give him a week. just bear with me guys. please and thanks

[Lankyrob]

yeah, thanks. im going to give him aNOTHER week. just bear with me guys. please and thanks


Just "corrected" it for you :) - i really really really hope that they arent taking the piss mate but it very much sounds like they are taking advantage of a nice guy and we are all trying to protect you in our own special ways :)

[Bradyloach]

yeah i know :P i appreciate it too! you people are very nice

[Wiggles92]

If I were you, I would be able to overlook the whole "These savannah monitors are CBB," part, but him attempting to pass of Nile monitors as lace monitors and constantly delaying your cage without you giving any compensation of value for wasting your time is a bit concerning.

[exwizard]

It looks like Brady was taking pictures at that pet shop. I dont think he actually bought any of them.
