That seems absurd to me I was advertising 1 set of boa babies it wasn't as if I was selling like 10 clutches or something. Madness |

If I were you I'd get straight back to them and point out that the 29 are just part of one litter ...the silly idiots probably think that boas have about 6 in the litter like cats and dogs. If they don't believe you, then tell them to come and read up about your unexpected 'boanus' on this forum.
That's ridiculous and they need to get their facts straight before accusing you of running some kind of snake 'puppy farm'.
Amendment - many snake breeders will have several clutches of babies to sell, but they'll still be breeding more for the fun of it than for the commercial gain ...as you say, crazy ... |

While it was only one clutch you added to gumtree, they will look at the numbers you are selling they will assume you are a breeder and using them as an outlet which is against the rules.
We got round that by adding only what snakes were available at the time before adding to gumtree think it was 4 at a time we posted there. Not ideal but best you can do im afraid |

I was thinking about contacting them but in the email where it says "feel free to contact us" the "contact us" page is 1 small entry box which doesn't fit anymore than 20 characters in it :P
So screw it |

Cheapskates - don't deserve your custom - as you say - screw 'em eh?
(Though I could find quite a few short words with which to fill the 'contact us' page ... )

I don't get it. There are people advertize on there that are clearly breeders. I've even seen stud dogs being advertized once or twice and they never get removed.
Yeah, screw 'em. Whatever. They're talking outta their backsides anyway. |
Just me and my zoo. |

Ha - do you mean inflammatory, minor-corrupting words like 'bitch' and 'whelp'???
I get a bit pigged off with the swear filter on this forum sometimes, but at least on TRP they can't, they really CANNOT, prevent us from using the word BALLS! |

OF COURSE I meant my snakes, but for that one golden moment is was like starring in "carry on nurse", whoever said nurses were unshockable hasn't met my mates, hahaha!  |
