You should put something on fauna about him. I can't stand the attitude. He's basically saying he doesn't care about not being up front with you and he could care less how he ships the animals because someone else will buy it anyway. It just sucks because your in a tough spot. You don't want him to go on doing business this way, and have your money. But being the snake lover you are you don't want to put the animal through the stress of travel again. Personally I would keep the snake, but let people know your experience with him so they don't have the same happen to them.
