Never mind he got an offer for R500, so I told him to take it, and he didn't catch it his friend did.
So all is well that ends well, he says the vet bill was pocket wrenching because it was not just one dog, it was all his dogs!
Poor bloke, anyway problem solved I presume :D

Next time Rishaad hehe ;)

He got 500 bucks for it. Not bad. I can however understand why he is trying to cover the vet bills especially if it was all his dogs that were affected. You should have asked him if he would like me to treat his yard with a snake repellent :)

But why should he be able to make something back from it? Most people expect to pay to have the snake removed (even though most reptile rescuers don't ask for money) , not have you pay for the privelege of removing it, his logic seems a bit skewed?!

Reading this and all I could do was laugh! Like seriously now, he can't be serious? And he still manged to catch it and neck it or rather let me say his 'friend' managed to catch it and neck it. Well then his 'friend' should have removed it and paid the R600, ta-freaking-da problem solved!

My thoughts exactly! If his "mate" had it in the bag, or cardboard box or whatever, why didn't he just finish the job?

Sounds to me like he's just trying to make a quick buck. Either nothing would've happened to the dogs or they would've gone blind by the time someone responded to his ad, went to go and pick the snake up, pay him and then the trip to the vet. A whole load of nonsense!

Coincidently I went to have a look at an albino burm this evening in malvern that I was interested in purchasing. Upon arrival I see a large spitting cobra in a dirty enclosure that was facing glass up. I told the guy about the ad I saw on gumtree from just up the road. He told me that he is the one who caught that snake and is selling it. He says that he is still to find a buyer. The plot thickens!

Hmmmnnn... ok, that is odd, Jason, the guy who posted the add said that he is very interested in having the snake repellent installed (Rishaad I sent you a pm). Something does not add up here...

Ok I'm lost, I have never heard of a snake repellent. Care to shed some light on this eyed_lizard?

Something smells fishy what's the next advert going to be.

Caught giant Anaconda in my yard it ate my girlfriend.

I'm only asking R1000 to find a new one.
