Molly, & the rest of the snakes were going back from His racks to mines. he ends up dissapearing doing shows, and leaves me in the dark about not only logans snakes,but my snakes as well. and when i caught up too him he was only half as sorry as i am. as i keep stating, soon as i get the 200 bucks i will pay logan ASAP. i am not a bad guy, some situations just have no other way of being portrayed. im breeding dragons now and would like to be able to gain the trust to deal with my fellow herpers around me. logan has forgiven me, so i think the rest of the boards can do so as well. ive many times apologized to this site, and logan. i just wanna move on. my beardies dont even get looked at, all my post ignored. i have 2500 dollars invested in this season as my 1st season breeding beardies and its looking south due to something i couldnt control. as i said, i just wanna move on. thanks.
happy herping.
Logan, next time you will know, when you do anything of this nature to get a contract.
All is not lost, however. The person you claim had your snakes has come on and in writing pretty much affirmed the deal you said y'all made, through his posts here on this thread. Agreements do not necessarily have to be typed out and memorialized on a legal looking piece of paper (although for future reference that makes it easier when things go south), they can actually exist when all the necessary information is exchanged through a series of writings.
I don't know how many times I've heard deals gone south when the seller claims he has sudden family problems. While claims like those may or may not be true, the bottom line is that after the immediate emergency is taken care of, the seller has an obligation to keep in touch and to make the deal right.
Here, the person you gave your snakes to could have sent you $5 a week or so, something, to let you know he was trying to make amends.
Since he has chosen not to do so, if it were me I'd copy this thread and look into doing more and filing complaints.
Here is a site to begin to help you understand the basis for some kinds of written complaints. You can actually call over there, the people working there are pretty nice, and tell them the situation and see what they say and recommend.

The bottom line is that you are getting a lot of talk and no action. Time to turn up the heat......
