she contacted me, to tell me a clutch had been laid and ask what had the snake been bred to. She told me she was unprepared for it, and that she didn't think it would survive. I wrote back and gave her the requested info, and then asked for the unexpected egg, as it would mean a lot to me.

I understand what you're saying, and right now I regret that I ever cut her any slack. I guess i should change the warning to : sellers, never do anything nice for someone, because if you ever need anything nice back from them, it will hurt all the worse when they inevitably decline, and you will feel very taken-for-granted.
