you had absolutely nothing to lose....

Neil - The most I had to lose was MORE TIME on this stinkin deal. I wasted 2 days of emailing back and forth - trying to get this kid to fess up. I've got too many animals that need daily care, cleaning, feeding, etc to waste my time on kids with long noses.
The real reason I finally turned the trade down was because I didn't feel comfortable putting a female Burmese Python into the hands of a dishonest person.
Call me crazy - but I've always considered dishonesty to be right in line with irresponsibility, carelessness, laziness, and all the other things that do not need to be placed in the line of fire with a large constrictor.
But to close this... I sold the female burm last night - to an individual I am confident will take great care of her - and might even send me pictures of the babies she throws in a year or two.
Now that's a satisfying sale. All parties happy - case closed.
