Is this Normal from a known breeder?

Yes!. I've already spoken to him today delt with this..It's funny I ask a question, I dont put his name out there and because I'm new here I'm attacked..I never said not to buy from him. I never said I would never buy from him..But to me something felt off . So I asked a supposed group of adults for their input and it's snowballed into this crap. I have stated over and over its done, but it's continued to be attacked.

the oly one is the one stating that for 250 hed send one..thats it that was the only mention after the last post

Derrick, don't take it personaly, read the PM I just sent you - this hobby relies on reputation and honesty. It's so easy for bad things to happen. People aren't attacking you, it's just absolutely necessary to have as much information and detail as possible, on a thread like this - People want to know that everybody involved was being honest throughout the transaction, and that if somebody did something wrong, that they have the opportunity to correct the issue.

You did not say not to buy from him, but without more information on the topic, people are left to wonder if they can TRUST the breeder, and without more details, nobody can say definitively if all the necessary steps were taken to make things right.

It was a question that got out of control. I mean I just dropped another mound of cash with him today..He is a busy man and things look different from the outside. Unless you're having the conversations on the phone nothing is gonna look right.

I feel that Derrick just wanted input from the forum whether or not something was common practice with purchasing from a large breeder. He didn't want to put the name of the breeder out there, and confided in another member with a private message. Then the name was released even though the OP never intended to give it out. Now I understand some people's desire to have all the details of the transaction and communication, for what precise reason I am not sure... It may be because they just want everything to be clear and info to be available for all buyers/sellers/whatever... Or it may be because they want to blow something up... I'm not speculating either way and am not trying to say anything negative here. BUT.... The OP just wanted a general question answered and ended up having more exposed than he wished.... And in my opinion, it's his right to give whatever level of info that he wishes to. Just my 2 cents....

Your answers aren't adding up. If you're upset that he's not making it right the way he should, and that you don't want to get a lawyer until your animals are here, why would you order more today.

thank you!

I don't get why he is not honoring his terms. Just from looking at your side of story it seems unreasonable for you to pay the extra 250 and others feel the same. With the views this thread has....seems over 250 he is going to turn off some potential buyers. It just seems so odd a big name breeder would do that.:confusd:

also he is getting you another at a show? From who? If I'm getting a snake I want to know from who.

From what I can gather I don't think the OP outright asked Garrick for a replacement snake. I'm sure if he did he would receive one free of charge as the terms are stated. Garrick has always been great with me so I hate to see him put in a bad light just because all the facts aren't out there.
