If you decide as a seller to discount anything or give it away outright free, whether that is a living creature or a supply item, why is it the buyer's fault you made this decision? You have every right to say no to anything a buyer asks. You said yes, yet you come back later and want to blame another for your decisions?

As far as the gravid female, unless I'm mistaken you sold her not knowing if she was gravid or not. You did, however, pair this snake so the chance she was gravid was there and you must have decided not to wait out the time to find out if in fact a clutch sired by your now deceased fire was brewing.

As much as I feel bad for you regarding your fire, from a fair business standpoint I don't think you have a leg to stand on. If you had agreed to a sale wherein any resultant offspring where yours or split 50/50 but you didn't - you sold a possibly gravid female and now want to complain because your buyer didn't hand over a "bonus" type of offspring. Business is business Morphie and emotions like empathy do not have a place there nor can be demanded from a seller.

I don't think you should be referring to someone else's "talksdowns" after you are publically calling another person out with some pretty negative terms yourself.
I completely agree with you Jo, but he isn't here preaching about bad business. He gave her a bunch of extra stuff out of the goodness of his heart, not as a "seller" and is just upset that kindness is not reciprocated. I dont disagree with the way he feels. In the business sense, it was a fair deal and he added bonuses. But if you factor in the fact that we are humans, capable of emotion, then you can see where he is upset that she wasnt willing to be as kind as he was. If what he says is true, she is absolutely a selfish chick with a sense of entitlement based on her greed for water bottles.
