Breeding Loan Gone Very BAD!!

If you are going to dump a friend over this, then you were never a very good friend to start with. You should be happy that he found such a good deal on the trade he wants to do. He is after all your friend right?

All you had to say was "ok man, you can have her back, but I get one of the Bels babies when she has one!"

It is only a snake! HIS snake at that!

Yeah, they only locked 3 times and it's still October. It's not like he waited until she was ready to lay. Sounds like you're mad because you had your heart set on some cool combo snakes...Which is understandable, but not worth destroying a friendship over.

Its not about the snakes. it the fact that he went back on a deal. Found out what the real deal is. He got mad because I had talked to someone that was interested in what I would possibly make and said he wanted on of the hatchlings. So my friend got upset that I was already having interest in them and he still has snakes from last season and the season before that he cant sell. He said that he didnt loan the snake to me to sell or trade the hatchlings! ???? What ??? Why would I keep a whole clutch of snakes? at most I would keep 2.

totally disagree with the above two posts. if you make a deal with a friend or anyone else and they do not honor their word or agreements, you REALLY need to question why you are friends with them. Today it's a loan agreement, tomorrow? Whatever happened to your word being your bond? Seriously...

I would have done the same.

Frankly, I really question those who feel that bailing out of a verbal agreement after its made is ok. Not sure I would want to deal with those folks as well....even if it is THEIR snake.

If that is really the truth behind why he backed out...you made the right decision. Your dealing with a very immature person.

I have a couple females that im going to breed. The whole breeding loan wasnt even my Idea. He came to me about it. I dont know that she is gravid but the chance is there that she will have a clutch from my male. Either way.... Like I said ill do my own thing.

From this alone, I'm thinking he had it all figured out before you did, seeing he came to you about it... read between the lines.

As stated before, peace of mind is sometimes better than enforcing a deal.

Screw him the trade can wait. A deal is a deal and since your male locked on 3 times then your property is inside that snake. So he cant trade it. Even by law you technically own what is in that belly and you have possession which is 9 tenths of the law. Good luck bro.
