Sad that he cares so little as to be willing to ship no matter what...I just don't know what to say.Any chance you could pick them up? (even a road trip would be
stressful, but not as bad as air-shipping) And if that's his reason, I guess it would be pointless to ask him to wait? If he hasn't gotten back to you, I suspect he may
think he's found someone closer...& honestly, I hope so, even though you're clearly interested...I just want what's best for those snakes.
