Very bad idea to loan, I had an adult Russo White Diamond male BP that I loaned to a buddy a year ago as a "breeder loan" situation. The python came back with an RI and after six months of treatments and hell, I found it tits up one morning last spring. Do I blame my buddy, nope, I should have known better! It's 100% my fault for considering it in the first place. $$ got in the way of common sense! Nothing in or out of my collection without intense scrutiny. Jeff
