So he used the photo you originally used to sell the snake...but he does (or did) have that snake in his possession? Thank you for clarifying that, David - it may not have been right for him to use the picture, but at least he wasn't offering a snake he didn't have.

I have a transaction pending with Josh. It's been smooth so far with fast and professional communication. I'm expecting the animal tomorrow and will report my results.

yes garret, she just got picked up, let me know what you think

I will add that I know first hand that Josh is working for Jon. Jon has been very busy and needs a hand. Josh is very trustworthy and a diligent worker from what I'm told.

I guess the next obvious question is:
Josh, are you selling NWE's snakes for Jon, your own snakes, or some combination of the two? I've looked at some of your ads, and they certainly don't read like you are selling somebody else's animals...but I figured I might as well ask.

most of the animals are mine and i take care of all of them so i treat them like mine

having said that, some of the animals are jons that i am selling for him and some are mine.

No, you didn't apologize so don't come in here and lie and say that you did. In fact you took the time to bump the ad and say it was sold but you still left the photo up.

The 'big deal' is that you had a very fishy ad up and when you were questioned the ad vanished. I'm not on a witch hunt, I'm just just trying to make sure no one is getting scammed. So far you've done nothing to assure me that you're on the up and up.

First of the bee is sold and the lesser is sold that is why the adds are removed, and if i didnt apologize to you, well then here it is, "im sorry". now if your gonna be immature about this and hold a grudge over a photo that I had absolutely no clue was yours then go ahead and do so, i dont even care. i think everybody will realize that you are doing the wrong immature thing here.

That's not an apology. You can't say, "I'm sorry. But really you're being a dick".

The real issue is that a 15 year old kid showing up with ads for a bunch of calicos is a little curious. Nobody is accusing you of anything, it's just that in these situations you can never be too careful.
