Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

These are the text messages. Don't know why they needed them again, but I did send them.

So, who didn't 'give' timelines? Did 'you' fail to establish timelines when you dropped the snakes off?

I think the status of the snakes is a grey area. They were not abandoned but the OP did not want them at his house. They were unloaded by the OP for long enough so that their possession was no longer the risk to him that it obviously was at first.

I would think because of the length of time involved, and because during that time the OP would not have wanted to reclaim the critters because FWC was lurking, that Underground has every right to send a bill even at this late date for boarding, especially after the OP agreed to pick the critter up and did not. I would think that being venomous, such a bill for several months would exceed the sum in question.

Only 1 snake was sold, the OP's friend received the other, neither side is saying that there was a charge of any kind when it was picked up. I think the boarding fee solution is simple and each side gains something: Underground gets a boarding fee for months of boarding two venomous snakes, the OP gets the benefit of the boarding and does not get fined or otherwise receive unwanted action from the FWC. I think these gentlemen should call it a wash and go their separate ways.

I passed FWC inspection with no problem. This is not an issue although Underground Reptiles wants to claim it is.

Did you pass because those 2 snakes were not in your possession at the time of the inspection? Or did you pass inspection while in possession of the 2 snakes?

No time limits where discussed by either side, ever. This was a nice looking animal and I assumed that maybe they intended to use it themselves in the retail store. A few weeks is not an outrageous period, give the circumstances and the information I had at the time. Only one week passed between agreeing to return the cobra and selling it, with no further conversations.

That is your point of view, a seller caring for a venomous critter may think otherwise. And after you agreed to pick up, it would in my opinion certainly be appropriate to charge a venomous boarding fee. There are no set rules on fees, I would think a higher fee for venomous would be appropriate, and as I mentioned before, the bill may very well equal the sum in question here.
