Would You Buy?

[angllady2]

While vehement arguments could be made either way on this, it IS possible the person who owns it is telling the truth. I bred birds for 20 years, and occasionally I took in a handicapped bird just to get it away from the owners who mistreated it. I intended to keep these birds for life, I certainly wouldn't try to sell them as healthy. However, on a few occasions, a particular person was taken with a handicapped bird, and I did sell one very cheap, knowing the buyer knew what they were getting into. I never regretted doing so, since each one I placed went on to live long lives, or are still living now. Would I do it every time, no. Did I also try giving the bird to the interested party? Yes, only to find out people who were serious about getting a handicapped bird always refused to take it for free, although one woman paid for the cage, and the bird happened to come with it, or that's what she told me.

My point is, maybe the snake owner is being truthful, if you don't know them how can you say for sure? While I have not yet heard about a spin or wobble in a Woma, I don't know everything and maybe they are out there, just not as widespread as Spiders.

The bottom line is, what if the snake is just what the owner says, a sweet, well fed pet who happens to have a small issue. If they snake is healthy and eats well, and judging from the pictures it does, and the OP only wants a pet, why shouldn't he get it? Who are you to tell him he'd be stupid to do it just because you wouldn't? If he thinks he has a place for this snake and he can live with the slight issue, I say bring that baby home!! If I were in his place, I would.
