1. Do you really have an import license?
2. Does it really make sense to you that someone would pay whatever the shipping works out to be to ship a $15 snake from Cameroon?
3. Cameroon has been the home of choice for many of the scams that show up on the Internet these days. So many, in fact, that no legitimate business person would attempt to do business from Cameroon.
4. If after carefully reviewing these facts, sending your money to Cameroon for a $15 butcheroid snake seems like a good idea ... it's your money.
5. All sarcasm aside - YES IT IS A SCAM!!!!

Sounds legit to me. If I were you, I wouldn't cheat her and send more money than she requested. You just can't put a price on venomoids. Maybe you should trade her some venomoids for that specialty AV that you make.
Now that's just good business right there.

In addition to Cameroon, you will also find a lot of internet scammers from Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Republic of Benin, Niger, etc.
The scammers often steal photos of animals from websites, then post those photos saying that those are the animals they have for sale.
It is amazing just how quickly folks will send off money to a stranger from half way around the world, just because they think they are getting the deal of a lifetime.
What ever happened to Common Sense ?????

Why on earth are you buying venomoids anyways???
You are obviously plenty tough enough to take a bite, after your bite on the wrist from your WDB.
Sounds to me like your too cool for venomoids....
Just a thought...
Take Care.

"you would think this think devoured an elephant"
LOL...it's why I'll never keep cobra's....sweet metabolism. I had a few vine snakes that ate a lizard or two a week. You'd think they were eating raisin bran and painting pictures with the mess afterwards. That was enough for me.
