As I said earlier, I'd much rather tell you I'd sold it than killed it!

No no I never said you were lol. I'm just saying tis all. Was not directed at you personally

This was a long time ago. And I am only now finding out that she is alive and not dead.

After whats happened to me and my collection this year, you really learn the value of your pets. Anything that can go wrong, may go wrong. And you need to realise this before buying a live animal.

These are just my personal views, and I don't mean to imply that EVERYONE should think or behave according to my views. Thats certainly not what I was getting at...

Take my hat off to you, it allways good when people can recognise their own mistakes..Personaly I have respect for honesty..lies I have no time for

I completely agree

I am not a religious gal, but I live by one saying, and by one saying only... Be sure your sins WILL find you out. To this day, that has never failed me. Thus why I will not lie (never mind the fact I forget my lies instantly so I am a terrible lier)...

I was brought up from a small child with the ethic..if you are man enough to do it..take responsibility for your action..good or bad, if you knew it was wrong..you still did it..TAKE RESPONSIBILITY..not nice for others as I do not lie..about any thing Well all I can say is,"what goes around comes around.. lies will allways find you out" Not good situation for any one here..shame

One could only assume that she told you it had died becuase she maybe got a better price offer than what she may have sold it back to you for... Is still completely beyond me but maybe that's one possibility. She obviously didn't count on the new owner posting photos and giving her game away. That's exactly what it sounds like actually, a game. How cold-hearted can people get...
Even though reptiles are unlikely to be getting attached to the owners why treat them as a bare commodity, i could never sell either one of mine no matter what the offer, i don't breed or anything it's just for the enjoyment, but still i couldn't see how people can just do away with them when bored of them, or seeking a quick bit of cash. Gah, people are infuriating.

What a horrid lie to put on the conscience of you,the seller, it must have been awful to hear that about a snake you were clearly attached to, and wanted back.
So glad for you that it's alive and well though.
Best regards

I found out due to her ever so NOT subtle (IMO) for sale ad just after I told her I would buy her back. I did not find out about this ad until a few months ago when I was browsing the Scottish forums, but the dates match up. In it she states "VERY special female corn for sale". Knowing that Lacey was the only corn she had left after buying many then selling them all on (of her own admission), I decided to ask the buyer if it was a lavender female he bought. And right enough, It was Lacey. The picture 10000% confirms it, right down to her abberant zig zag markings. I sent him MY pictures of her, and he agreed, it was the same snake.

Ah i seeee

How bizarre of her to make an ad and wait for interest when she knew she had you as a guaranteed buyer =S

For whatever reason she did it for is wrong!!! She might have thought that you would replace the snake or give her her money back.

She just one hell of a if ya ask me mate.

At least its with someone better than her, well they can't get any worse can they.

I can. If you sold the snake with the offer of buying it back, one would assume you would pay the same price you sold it for. Perhaps she was able to sell it for more but didnt feel comfortable asking for more back from the original seller. Thats just one possible reason.

I thought the lavender on the grave was a nice touch though. How quaint.
