The relevant factor in deciding whether Pam must pay the reward is whether Fred knew about the reward when he returned the snake. If he knew about the reward and returned the snake with the intention of claiming it, then Pam must pay the reward. If he returned the snake without knowledge of the reward, then Pam is not obligated to pay the reward. Whether Fred is a minor or whether the offer was in writing are not relevant factors in this scenario.
