Why would anyone want to buy/sell one of the most deadly/venomous creatures alive? One bite and YOU ARE DEAD. No, oops I didn't think he would do that scenario. I was under the impression it was illegal to have/sell/buy them anywhere other than where they come from, nature. Someone please take the risk. We won't continue looking for any responses from you in a few months. Either the little guy will be dead or you will. The seller obviously is not a responsible dealer/reefer. Would not have one or sell one to anyone if he were. Am I wrong? I think not. I am sure he will argue the fact. Freed
