Sounds a little odd to me, too. Don't mean to be piling on, but if I had someone's property I would contact them to let them know what is going on with it - especially if it is a live animal. Lots of different ways to contact a person. It isn't like CBconstrictors was trying to hide. Last I remember, mailing labels for Fedex have phone numbers on them. Just because your cell phone doesn't work, doesn't mean there aren't ways to contact him and let him know what is going on.
