here is the initial statement:

I email a breeder with the intention of being put on a wait list for a pair of snakes that have been advertised on his site for over six months. He tells me they may be spoken for, but I can put down a deposit in case a pair becomes available.

My guess is that they were advertised as anticipated offspring, were produced, but possibly purchased (possibly not hatched yet but with tentative deposits - ie the waiting list you were initially anticipating), and you were given the option of placing a deposit in the hope that enough would be produced or otherwise acquired. Is that close to the situation?
