This is one crazy story! So glad you're getting him back, these snakes are just awesome.I would love to have one sometime in the future.
At least you got back the snake you regretting trading. I had bought this Dumeril's boa female on November 22, 2008 at the reptile expo. To this day I regret taking her to a reptile store for store credit to get supplies for my snakes. She was the sweetest thing ever and she was so gentle. That is the first snake I ever regret giving away. I wish I could find her somehow and get her back, and I still wonder what has happened to her or if she is even alive.
