I strongly disagree! He said he told the man that he would buy the snake. If he said it out loud (on the phone maybe), he is under a verbal contract. If he said it in email or a text message, he is under a written contract. Informal contract, yes. Enforceable in court, probably not. But lack of formality or enforceability is a horrible reason to go back on your word. The seller has potentially stopped advertising the snake and/or passed up other offers.
