Sellers, take care Kristy1277

The emails are accurate.

When they asked if they could come over, my house was trashed because we are moving (did i mention that? that's why the snakes are being sold). I have terrible anxiety about people being in my [messy] house, so I asked if we could deal on the porch. I brought down everything they asked to see, and gave them every piece of information I had about the snakes as accurately as I could manage.

While on the porch, Kris would make comments in passing designed to get me to give in to what she wanted: the ability to come upstairs and browse my equipment at her whim. Things like "this would be easier if we could just come up..." etc. On the final visit, I got tired of all of that crap and invited them up.

10 of the girls i was selling did not belong to me - they belong to another individual, and I was breeding them with my males. When I found out we were moving, I contacted the partner and asked him what to do with his girls and racks. He asked me to sell them, so I did.

I did/do have a couple of pretty thin girls (one is mine, one was his). I was reluctant to even offer the thin ones because I wasn't sure what experience level Kris and her friends are at. The girls have not been eating, and I'm rather worried about them, but I know how to deal and I am dealing (i know they *do* eat - they have in the past, they just have to get going again somehow). I warned them about the situation, told them how long it had been since the last meal, and asked them if they were ready to try to get non-eater adults started. They said yes, and I believed them, so they were purchased and later returned when the girl who bought them couldn't handle it (I am currently handling it, but the situation is rough considering the move. Obviously the snakes themselves are the main concern, and they won't be sold to any n00bs before they're fat again).

Kris bought a rack that holds 15 - 18 tubs, which housed most of the collection. I have a vision rack that holds 10 tubs, and I recently sold an RBI rack that has 8 tubs. Last time I sold snakes in quantity was before the recession, so I failed to consider that it might take some time to move so many girls. That said, I sold Kris her rack a bit prematurely, and thus I did end up housing some snakes together (stressed, thin ones always get their own tubs no matter what). I made a stack of tubs in the corner and a temp-rack using reflectix and ultratherm heatpads and kept my head above water that way until I sold a few more girls. The girls that were wet when I brought them down were in humid tubs, and so I gave several of them a quick rinse with lukewarm water before hauling a bunch of them downstairs.

Kris, If my snakes are so horrible, and in such deplorable conditions -- If you're "rescuing" my horribly neglected snakes, why did the two who needed your help most come back while you guys kept all the big fat ones? I'm sure keeping the fire's egg is all about saving that poor widdle hatchling from the big, bad me who had to stretch to make ends meet for a couple weeks. Yeah, there's nothing in it for you at all. It's purely the charity of your gracious heart that's making you keep it.

Like I said, considering the pain this has caused me, I hope it's *really* worth it for you. Whatever you need to make it worth it, I hope you get it.

The way you characterized your interactions with your friend, and the way you characterize your wheedling with me are not accurate. You were pouting all over the house about that stupid waterbottle, and your friend kept saying things to the effect of "you always do this crap, Kris".

I am not saying my side is as god saw it, but it is really distressing how many things you asked for and got, which now you simply don't remember. No wonder you think you're justified in keeping that egg.

Anyway thanks for the slander. Awesome.
