I will gladly remove this comment and apologize to the seller if I'm proven wrong, because the last thing I want to do is slander legitimate sellers, but I care more about unwitting buyers losing money...
I was told by a credible source that this seller scammed someone else - however, to be clear, that's third hand information that I can't verify. What I can tell you from personal experience (I'm more than willing to share screenshots of the messages) is that Brakes for Snakes is the guy that the seller wanted me to send payment to when I reached out about buying other animals the seller previously posted. I reached out to him to see if the seller is legit and he wouldn't respond to that particular question in Messenger, he asked that I call. Why couldn't he respond in a message?
Also - I initially left a comment on here similar to this one, which I subsequently deleted, and Brakes for Snakes comes in and endorses the seller shortly after. What a coincidence! So at the very least I can tell you I wouldn't bank on that endorsement.
