Allowing a 17 year old Minor child to even pick up and transport a Venomous Reptile. That in itself seams to me to be rather irresponcible and dangerous on the part of the seller. Why did you not enforce that a Parent/ Guardian pick up the animal?
You allowed a Minor to use his parents credit card. Why would you allow a minor to use a credit card without the Card Owner Present with proper ID.
Even if you spoke with the Parent via E-mail or Phone and were given the "OK" to proceed with the purchase, why did you not DEMAND before pick-up was allowed that and adult be present for the release signature and to take possesion of the animal.
Sorry to hear about this for all parties. I am curious though why you would allow a minor to do these things and not require an adult present.
