Default what do i do

A well known member off here bought a snake off me about 2 months+ ago, he didnt have the money at the time but seeing as i have delt with him before and i knew she would be going to a good home i said i would wait and i dropped her at a mate of his as i was going there anyway. He texted me a few days later to say she was doing fine and he was happy with her etc and i have recieved maybe 2 PMs off him. I know i said there was no rush but i know he has since sold snakes and i also asked about something he was selling that i was interested yet still i have nothing.
He doesnt seem to of been online for a while although his profile is set so i cant tell if he has or not so he may well of been and he also must of changed his number as my messages are no longer being delivered.
What can i do in this situation

send him a (polite, non threatening) PM explaining you're not happy, ask for a date you will have the money or equivalent goods for (but don't accept good instead of cash unless you want to) and if that is not met then name, shame, negative feedback etc.

Pay a visit perhaps?

they are pretty much the only things you can do, I personally PM -> name shame -> home visit

Nightmare mate.....bet you won't do that again.

As said above, polite email/pm with a reasonable time to respond. Then you have no option but to name and shame. Maybe try to pay him a visit before the name and shame.

Good luck...
