He has not been active on this site since the 27th of December 2012 and, currently, his ability to post new ads has been suspended until this is resolved.

his ad remains up so that you can link to it on the BOI if you feel it will help.

Take your time and lay out ALL the info in the BOI thread - even if it makes you look impatient or rude. The truth will come out so it is always best to be up front with everything right from the start and get the timelines and all communication laid out in a clear and accurate manner.

Contest the money order, I believe you still have time to do so if I recall you have 30 days.

I would also tell him you're going to let both those shops know he's screwing you over too. Diplomatically, not just say "Dude, I'm telling those shops you screwed me over".

Sorry about the whole situation and I hope you get it resolved.

I know this may seem like "DUH!" but make sure you make copies of EVERYTHING pertaining to this issue....save EVERYTHING...any voice mails, emails, texts, if you speak via phone make a written record of it...date/time/length of call/incoming phone #'s....and (im more paranoid/ocd then most) but I also make a 2nd copy of everything and give it to someone I trust with my life for safe keeping.

All of this helps a lot if it ever gets to the point where lawyers/legal systems are involved.

Even if it doesnt its good to have records of all this sort of stuff...especially if your going to post up on BOI on fauna

I'm in south Florida and actually responded to his ad via text. If I recall correctly, I think he's in palm beach. Sorry you got screwed over. Post a BOI inquiry with his info. If there is something I can do to help you out let me know. I'm a FL licensed private investigator btw I can dig up more info on this guy for you.

Go to Facebook and search "South Florida Ball Python Classified". Post there as well. Someone must know this guy.

Thanks so much for all your help! I might take you up on that offer. He said he lived in boca raton fl 33433, that is where I sent the money order too. Then all of a sudden when he was about to ship the snake. He said, " I only live about 10 minutes away from underground. Which is 3 hours away from Boca raton!!
