That may be true, and perhaps I was naive on my end. I do take people at their word. Yeah, it burns me sometimes, but I like having a little bit of faith in my fellow man. It's just who I am. The deal was verbal and no request for a deposit was made. I surely would have had no problem with it if it were. He understood that I was to pick them up this weekend. I'm just glad I didn't make the 2 hour drive to find out the snake I had been promised was no longer available.
