We've had similar happen... we were going to buy a snake off a girl in Scotland, but decided to leave it as it was too far.
Then we found another bloke selling a similar species of snake, and he emailed us the exact same picture she had! Hers was genuine as she sent us a whole set, all of the same snake, all from the same camera etc, and when our snake arrived from this bloke it was so different to the picture, he obviously didn't know what it was, the poor thing! I think people just pull images off Google to use!
