Had to revive this old thread with my experience from today. Saw a snake on Craigslist I liked. It was a good price, a little on the skinny side. Contacted the seller, made plans to meet up at a specific time. It was a 20 minute drive for me each way. I'm literally one minute away from their house and the person texts me to back out of the deal - they decided to keep the snake after all. Like, okay, that's fine, but couldn't you have told me that before I left my house?! Why are some people so flaky?

At least it wasn't 3 hours or something....20 minutes is nothing.....

That's true! Still irritating though.

Probably the most irritating aspect of it is the general inconsiderate nature of some people, and not so much the travel time.

Yes, that exactly.

Definitely.....sort of like some of the snake calls I get. I reschedule my customer, drive all the way over to move the snake from their yard and they headed back into the house and have noooo idea where it went......

Today I saw an ad for a large adult corn snake being cohabbed with a garter snake in a 20 gallon tank. Can't imagine the snakes are too happy with that! (Although they do look healthy.)

These are my favorite ads that keep popping up:



My thought is that they are pieces cut and pasted from other ads, since a lot of these phrases are very common. I know they are targeting the absolutely most gullible and/or illiterate people, but I can't imagine anyone reading an ad like this and thinking it's legit.

That sure is a weird size enclosure for a terrestrial snake.
