I told them you were responsible for bringing me to their site from a thread on this forum, but said I didn't think our relationship extended to you being cool with me getting your snake!

Good thing I wasn't some shady creep, though. Otherwise that could have been awful.

Poor Fiona, she would have been heart broken !! Been waiting so long on that lil russian dude !!!

A good thing you are such a honest person. Good things will come your way. Maybe a little russian one day, LOL.

Seriously haha! I'd be pretty disappointed but just take it as fate doesn't want me to have a russian rat snake this year, since it would be the Zerkle's loss in the end. Hope this doesn't happen often with them LOL. :O
But YAY, I'M SO EXCITED for the little guy to arrive tomorrow morning!!

Did he have those this year? Were they hatchlings or older ones?

Hmm... I just found out their Russian Rat Snakes were listed one week ago as $150 in their fb ad, but I was sold one for $175 when I asked directly for the price (before I found their facebook ad). LOL I hope that was an honest mistake and not trying to make a quick buck since I didn't see the ad earlier. :confusd:

May I ask how often you feed Miss Pixie? My little Tanimbar eats like a demon monster from hell! And every time, it's like he hasn't eaten in months. Then, a millisecond after he swallows, he hunts around for more. I've been told I should transition him from a 7-day to a 10-day feeding schedule, but I am curious as to what works best for you.

LOL same with mine, though I think being voracious eaters is sort of a trait of the species. I feed mine every 7-10 days on either weaned rats or two rat fuzzies, though I'm going to start her on smalls and see how she does. Back when she was a bit smaller and I fed her one large weaned every 7-10 days and it left a huge lump, she would calm down better after the meal. So I think upping their meal size would help.

I noticed that and was curious, but figured you maybe got a "special" one which would explain the up charge. I bet if you mentioned it they would refund you, if you wanted to pursue it.

Very excited for your special delivery!

incidentally, they let me know they should have 12 producing females next year, and are expecting normals, Het Melanistic , Het Albinos and possibly Albinos. For any others in the market.

Nope, I was just told 175 for a normal! Yeah, just messaged them about it and I'm sure I will get the bit of a refund now that I actually noticed... :rolleyes:

Oh wonderful!! I know missterdog really wanted one later on too.

I certainly do! I'm hoping they will have melanistic at some point rather than het melanistic, so slight bummer they won't have any next year lol. But I wonder if that suggests the following year they are planning for melanistic :O

I have hopes lol

Oh gosh, the melanistic ones are such stunners. I can see why you're holding out. I'm super partial to the normals, so the plans are boding well so far. :)

(about the russian rat snake lol) Amy informed me that "Rob changed the pricing and didn't tell me", and she apologized and refunded me the difference. Sort of makes me wonder lol, since that "price change" he did was only toward me. But no matter. :rolleyes:

Well, It may have simply been that Rob changed the price on the facebook post (as a special) and forgot to tell his wife he lowered it. Early this year when I asked about them, they told me $175.

I don't think they tried to get a extra $25 out of someone. They have such a good reputation, and that amount of money wouldn't really be worth tarnishing it over ?

Just wondering...


SOOO , where is the new baby ???
