If I didn't switch carriers, I would still be rocking my s3. I'm curious what makes you qualify it as a piece of crap compared to other nearly 2 year old phones.
As for the snake, 400 bucks is pretty damn good for any BEL female and it doesn't look like a super mojave, so I would assume it to be a lesser/mojave. Looks like when she gets up to size you can finally see. Nice pick up.
