Hi everyone!
My two additional het pieds arrived today! I arrived at home and the snakes were alive and well! I placed them in a divided tub. And they are adjusting nicely!
However, I have a "small" problem! Take a minute and read the ad on kingsnake.com (http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=32&de=453022). I nego. a decent price for both snakes! I sent Shane Kinney an email before purchasing and asked him the weights of the snakes. Shane responded with 150-200g. Shane also stated the DOB 7/15/06. WELL....I got my scale out to measure my new snakes! One was spot on at exactly 200g! Perfect! The other snake was only 75g. hmmmmm..... I am not sure that 75g is necessarily bad for a 3 month old BP, but I am more concerned that he didnt tell me the truth on the weight of the BP before purchase. I am also concerned now of what else he didnt tell the truth about. Here was his response....
Hi Ed,
Thanks for the follow up and I'm glad they arrived fine. I did write their DOB wrong- it is 7/15/06 and I apologize for being a under on gram guesstimate on the one female(I must have been looking at the bigger one when I guessed), but they are definitely the right ones and I guarantee their genetics. The bigger girl has been feeding more aggressively lately, nailing large mice, while the smaller girl needs a hide and likes small mice.
Thanks, Shane
Anyway....i am venting....and hope that these are healthy snakes....
