Well, to be blunt, I was drawing attention to both. If you review my original post, I did state that "we may have a flipper that doesn't observe proper quarantine procedures." Money comes into play based on the definition of a flipper, which is one who invests in something with intent to quickly resale for profit. It isn't a bad thing when that "something" is real estate or merchandise for retail, but when you're talking about live things, it becomes more sensitive in that these quarantine times aren't fulfilled.

I browse Reptile Ring and feel that I've seen some of Cory's other snakes on there too, but as I stated in my original post, I have not done the legwork to confirm this. I felt that this case is sufficient in making my point. It would be easier for Cory himself to confirm or deny this, than me digging through my browser history to make matches again.
If you had indeed been 100% honest since the beginning, Cory, you would have stated in your original advertisement that the snake isn't ready to exchange hands yet. You didn't, thus there was no way of me knowing. But hey, it could have been an oversight on your part and you just forgot to mention it, just as it is possible that you intended to sell immediately. Nobody knows but yourself, thus I was also careful of my wording: "we
may have a flipper that doesn't observe proper quarantine procedures." Additionally, as was stated here before, I made an "Info" thread and not a "Bad Guy" thread.
Whether due to the surfacing of this thread or if it was indeed your original intent, I'm glad to hear that you are putting this boa under quarantine prior to resale.

I didn't think I would even bother with this, but since I'm already typing away, I'd might as well -- I didn't ask Cory to follow
my quarantine procedures, nor did I detail any specific steps that he should follow. But why don't you advise me on the security of a 1 day QT?
