    That's your opinion. And thats fine. I was thinking along the lines of a herpetological program in a University or teaching institution. Maybe one with a exotics veterinary program.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    WRONG!! I would have written a letter to the director of the herpetology department at the University of California Davis. Explained to them what I had and that I would like to know if they would be interested in working out a business transaction for the animal. There are more special considerations for the survival of the animal than it being a spectacle for a sideshow. And that's just my opinion...

    Okay so you just want to make money off it. Well he doesn't have a price tag for it and many people have tried to buy it from him. As with Clinton Horner who has a two headed Radix, he's denied offers of as much as $1000+. Two headed snakes are well documented and not new to science, there's been 4 found this year as far as I'm aware. Props to both of them for keeping their snakes and not giving them away to whoever offers the most money.

    WRONG!!!!! But that's your opinion and that's fine. A business transaction has different intricacies that don't always include a monetary/ cash ingredient. What if I want my name on a plaque that identifies me as a donor to the University? What if a agreed business transaction afforded me some documentation or a recommendation from the university. Before you jump to a assumption or biased conclusion about my intent you should ask me. That's my opinion!

    In this comment you made the assumption that if it don't get into "the right hands" it won't survive. Assuming he is ill equipped to care for it.

    And here you assumed it would be a spectacle in a sideshow and not his personal pet.

    What would be your intent with the leucistic? Would you also suggest i send the leucistic to a university and ask for my name on a plaque identifying me as a donor?
