Breeding Loan Gone Very BAD!!

[LadyOhh]

So a friend/Breeder decided he had a female Joliff Tiger het Ghost that he wasnt going to breed this year. Im just getting into breeding and he said he would loan me the Tiger het Ghost to throw my pastel male on. We were friends and figured ok cool. Even agreed to split the clutch with him. So my Pastel has locked with this Tiger 3 times visual lock. Maybe more unknown. Today he calls me and says he needs the Tiger back because he wants to put it in a trade with some other stuff to get a BEL. Im sooooo mad right now! Its not about the breeding at this point. Its a fact of I thought he was my friend and cant believe he did this. Now He will possibly have a clutch of snakes that should be half mine!

Let me play devils advocate for a moment here.

First off... It was his snake. Not yours. Why should you be mad that he wants it back?

Second... The breeding season is very early on right now. What makes you think that she is already gravid?

Third... Breeding Loans are always a tough one, because of all of the problems that can arise. Why did you do anything without making sure all bases were covered? Friendship aside, business is business. If things can go wrong, they will...

Live and learn.

It just doesn't make much sense to be overly upset about it. Go and buy yourself a female, and keep everything for yourself. That way, you are covered.
