    Snake deal gone bad

    A guy is suppose to meet up with a buyer for his 20 snakes ($12,600), he gets shot and carjacked:

    "you'd think the snake guy would rob the other guy for cash and not the other way around" ?????

    No... Not in this hobby.. Someone really needs to start explaining to people that to many people the BP hobby is like crack cocaine. Certainly worth as much, and with as many thousands of people involved as there is, it blows my mind that anyone would be surprised at this.

    I hope they manage to catch the guy. They need to let the victim look through a bunch of mugs after they draw up a composite. Maybe they can ID the guy.

    That's why I moved away from Philadelphia. It gets more ghetto every time I visit my family.
