Chuck....I think what Jen meant (please correct me if I am wrong , Jen....but this is how I read) was that she acknowledges that it was her responsibility that it spread thru her collection. At this point, she cannot prove that the illness came from Wyatt, but she is not releasing him from that part of the fault (the initial virus entering her home) until all of the test results come back. Thus the apology for laying ALL of the blame on him. Does that make more sense (or maybe it's still losing translation somewhere from female-ese?

) ?
I personally don't think there is a way to say with any degree of complete certainty where the virus came from (though I have been known to be wrong on occasion).....but I do know that I still don't consider Wyatt any less of a creep, he just dodged the bullet on this particular incident.
Honestly...I really don't know what she meant. Its obvious I took what she wrote one way while you took it to mean another.
Here is what she posted that defined closure on this issue to me:
"So Wyatt, I apologize for laying all the blame on you, and will chalk this up to an "I effed up" incident, hope my animals continue to get better, and that's about it."
Maybe I'm reading into that wrong, but it does seem to me that she has relieved wyatt of any responsibility. Maybe not for everybody who reads it, but it sure did read that way to me.
Now maybe I'm wrong again in interpreting what she really meant to say, but she clearly stated that she "effed up". And that is pretty much how I was able to draw my conclusion that it was over and she accepted total responsibility.
Personally, I think it was silly for her to post what she did until all the test results were in and they could be posted. I think she was tired of defending herself and tired of being harassed multiple times about her timelines. Maybe she felt pressure by all of this and simply gave up. She has lost animals that were near and dear to her and her breeding plans were shot clear out the window. It was a heartbreaker for her. With that said....I might have made the same choice myself to just bring this to an end and worry about it myself.
Now as far as wyatt is concerned...he is not a creep. He is a scumbag and that is much worse than a creep. He has ignored the possibility that this could have emanated from his collection since this thread started and he has stated numerous times along the way that he will not accept any responsibility. How can you even think to stand a chance at resolution when a scumbag like him wont even consider the possibilities.
I posted a link about one of wyatts customers receiving a snake with an RI that wyatt claimed received a clean bill of health from a vet and simply had allergies and a runny nose due to a relocation from Colorado to his "facility" in Texas.
Now let me ask you this. How is it that wyatt, this big ass breeder and solid business man, got a clean bill of health from his vet but yet his customer got a diagnosis from his own vet that diagnosed the snake with an RI that was baytril resistant and it eventually it died?
Was the snake misdiagnosed by wyatts vet or did it ever actually even see a vet? Did his customer actually see a vet report diagnosing it with allergies or did wyatt just tell him that?
And...oddly enough......Jen also has received a snake from wyatt that has an RI.
Wow....never underestimate the power of denial I guess.....and greed.
If you talk about wyatt you are wasting your breathe. If you deal with him after this crap you are wasting your money.
Thats how I feel as far as wyatt is concerned.
