    Need advice or help immediately

    ok i just got an email from the sender and it appears he has put me in between a rock and a hard place. #1 he shipped my hcq stripped tiger carpet through USPS which is very illegal so now my problem is do i accept the package for the welfare and well being of this girl even though if found out i can get in alot of trouble or do i refuse the package and hope and prey they send it back to the sender quickly so the snake is ok. also he advised me he couldnt find a heat pack but shipped her anyways =( it will be in the low 40's tonite? i have paid for her and he has shipped her so now i am at a loss for words on this guy. any suggestions as to what i should do?

    if this thread is in the wrong place please move it.

    all i can think of is dont buy from him again and try to get the animal as discretely as possibly and hope the animal is all right beacause the welfare of the animal is EXTREMELY important

    you're right i see no good ending to this situation if i do not except the package. i cannot see myself putting an animal into harm for someone elses mistake. i have to accept it and take my chances or accept the consequences that may follow because the snakes welfare and well being is my main concern. i can eventually get out of trouble if it occured but this poor girl cant get a new life is something happens.

    the snake will be more than fine without a heat pack... as for the shipment, if it were me i'd take it and plead the 5th if anything comes about.

    as for will bird... i don't know what to say. he's got nice carpets but i've heard this before and i will also say that it's dishonest for him to refer to your carpet as (#1) a new morph of orange tigers and (#2) refer to your snake as a tiger, which it is not.

    sorry you had a bad experience....

    except that package and say nothing. Its not like its your fault he did it like he did, besides they are going to come after you for it they will go after him. He was the one who shipped it and it is out of your control once it is on the way.

    this girl i didnt buy from will bird. i purchased her off of fauna. also im not sure what you mean as new morph but no one said any of my snakes were new morphs. if you are pertaining to my orange tiger carpet, its not a new morph but yes it is a tiger carpet just not a stripped tiger. the sire is a hcq tiger carpet and the dam was a coastal carpet. as far as him having a new morph u must mean his citrus line that in fact i have not seen any of that except from him. and believe me you are the first person i have ever heard of that had something negative to say about will bird. im not saying you're wrong but as far as this post you are lol. this post is just on a reg stipped coastal and it was not from will. and i do have all the info sent back to me from anthony caponetta if you need it on her lol. he produced her and sold her to the guy i picked her up from and was confirmed by him. now not picking an arguement or anything with you colin because i respect you but not all tigers are stripped and you as a carpet lover yourself should know this.
