Kevin and I have been in touch over the past couple of weeks. He has told me that he will send me a replacement group of turtles that we agreed to, next week. I do believe he is trying to make good on this.
I can't answer the venous question, as I don't deal in snakes, and I don't know Florida law. The whole issue arose from a domestic disturbance in his household, and snowballed from there.
From my deals with Kevin, I would say that once he gets money, he then acquires the animals. I don't know if that's how most people work, but it seems to be how he does. I asked him last night if he could include one of the Chinese big-Heads, and he said he needs money for them - meaning, to me, that they aren't yet in his possession, or he has to pay someone back for them. The turtles I am getting "are already paid for," whether that makes sense to anyone. I'm not against his replacement offer, as I would like to put this to bed.
With respect to Capuzzi2, do you have his current phone number? I would be happy to get it to you. I have not discussed any other person's situation with him, because I don't think it's my business. But I do think he is trying to straighten this out, in good faith. I would recommend contacting him, because I'm not even sure he knows what he owes. I think his wife/gf handled some of that end, and I think she's flown the coop.
Anyone want to know anything else, feel free to email me, if that's easier, at
