He was very professional about the situation and nice, too! The mite issue was as much a surprise to him as it was to me and we talked through options, ultimately leading to a happy resolution. I wouldn't have a bad thing to say about them at all. Mites can happen to anyone and he did his best to help and represented the company in a fantastic manner.
Edit:
Vital Exotics was very professional about it, I mean. I can't really speak well of the experience I had with my male from Bob Clark, though. I wish I could! But he didn't work with me on the issue like Vital did.
Re: This shall be my photo bank.
I've bought three retics from kris and have never had an issue with mites or quality of animal. Vital exotics is top notch all the way.

Neither of us are hating on the guy or his business. I have seen your retics, Rob. Fantastic animals. Quite photogenic, too.

Either way I love the animals and am going to grab more from him.
Yeah I feel that I like him more because he was proactive and helpful in resolving the issue. I don't know about shipping but I do know so many people who keep the snake bags from previous orders and have gotten infestations from carrying over mites. I really don't like mites, hah. They are like a wildfire.
Edit:
Previous orders from other breeders, not Vital.
