Wow
I dont know how many weeks late and dollars short I am on this one, but haveing made it to all of page 5 before going to the last post function, I have a OPINION on this case.
Reputation one way or another I believe that snake is the same. I think if you twist the angles and direction of the photograph that distinctive mushroom looking saddle would match up perfect. FAR FAR FAR to many saddles match up on that animal for it to not be one in the same IMO.
I dont buy the whole in the box for one instance. I dont know if after page 5 the question of any sort of report with UPS was made or not, but I get the feeling one wasnt, again fishy. The offer of a refund at page 5 with only a couple of opinions in, also to me rings of guilt.
If any of this was cleared up further past page 5 (Im guessing doubtfull) feel free to email me links privately, and if Im wrong I will say so here, but I doubt it.
On a side note I have not dealt with either parties, and really have nothing to gain, this is just my OPINION.
