Hehe - or maybe someone trying to unload a problematic import.

Well, it seems he was insulted by my request and says he wouldn't sell her to me now if I offered him $500 for her, so it seems to have become a moot point. He also went out of his way to mention that he was Christian, as though that made him more trustworthy than a Muslim, Jewish person, atheist, etc.
Here's the actual response:

Wow, Marla. Sounds like you dodged a bullet there. You have to be suspicious of people who profess their innocence with such anger.

He is wacky and sounds immature, but on the other hand that's part of why I think the snake might be better off elsewhere. I know, I know, you can't rescue every worthy snake, but it's that emotional maturity that made me think he might do something like set her loose to keep his wife from getting her. I responded to that email from him and told him I wasn't trying to insult him but I don't know him from Adam and don't have money to throw around and told him about getting burned in a different situation, and this was his response:

Sounds like a total nutcase to me. And an uneducated one at that. People who use their religion as a shield kind of scare me, but that's another thread/topic/forum entirely.

It looks like a scam to me. First off...the guy writes/talks like a kid. Second...if he were truly THAT anxious to get rid of the snake, he would be willing to work with someone. You're worried about the snake being in the hands of an incompetent, immature idiot.....but I'd be willing to bet there's no snake at all.

If the snake is exactly what he claims it to be-Axanthic-then he is the stupidest person to ever walk the planet. Stay away from this deal....trust me, you're better off without it.
