The thing I would do just as a friendly gesture is to offer to transfer his deposit to another animal once he is ready to purchase from you again..this way you keep his money but he doesn't feel like it was wasted, and it keeps a line of communication open with him as a future customer.
great point here, especially if you wish to have great customer service. If i put down say 20% on a beautiful snake, and a major issue came up at home, I'd be so happy if the breeder kept my 20% but let me put it towards another snake. Stuff happens, not returning your calls, message makes me wonder if he split town for awhile or something.
