I dont know if it is a scam or not, but on the classifieds there is an advert for a snake (wont mention anything further yet). It says the person is in london.

I really wanted one of them, so I emailed them, they sent pics, all sounded good, good price as well. Then I find out they are in British Cameroons in Africa!

So, basically, I said no thanks, I dont want to do that. They are really wanting me to allow them to post the snake to me, apparently it will take 13 hours, they keep saying, but I'm having non of it. He/she said she wants a friend in the UK, and will give me a 20% discount, and is literally pleading for me to buy it... still, no way I a sending 200 quid to some african person I dont know.

Well, what do you think? If you wanna take it off, I can give you details, if not, fine.
