Definitely bad juju going down here. I have bought 2 snakes from Manny - both last year. While communication could have been better, the transactions went off without a hitch and both snakes were gorgeous and in perfect condition. But after seeing recent reports, I'd decided never to buy from him again unless I was at an expo and the transaction was made right there in person. When all THIS came to light, I have to say, I wasn't too surprised. And I'm sort of glad he's out of the business now. Just feel terrible for anyone who had a pending sale......
