BC Breeders??

frankykeno, I was only relaying what the US customs agent told me when I stopped in a couple of months ago and asked. It probably will be a royal pain, despite the what they said. *shrugs* Like I stated before with awful conditions of the local pets store and the treatment that my last mail ordered snake recieved, I felt my only recourse was to be in person to purchase the snake.

Mind you the corn was the first time I had shopped on-line for a snake, and it was from a highly recommended breeder at that time...But I have heard several positive things in regards to Adam and will indeed check out his webbie.

Thanks,

Chris

No problem Chris and sorry you had such a rotten first time shipping experience. Being Canadian and married to an American I hate to say how individual some of these things can be...one time you cross it's no biggie...then next time you cross the border they freak because...OMG you are munching on a bag of Michigan cherries and may somehow inadvertently cause the complete failure of the entire Canadian farming industry LOL. (btw I do understand the problem with fresh fruits and importation of disease)

Hope this next purchase goes far better for you, whatever decision you end up making.

Yeah, reminds me of the guff surrounding (BC) Canadian beef....raw you couldn't cross with it BUT cooked on the other hand...*shrugs* Politics! But seriously, we've got some great guys and gals on BOTH sides. The American customs agents are so stiff and proper while their Canadian counterparts are a riot. I love going north just to wander around Vancouver or over to the island there for a day of site-seeing.

I told Adam that I'd take a gander at his babies once they hatch in a few months or so...which would be perfect considering I'll be moving to a *much* larger home and should be all settled in by the time he posts some pictures. The only new consideration I'll have to take then, is the co-habitation of beardies (my roommate's) and the new snake. But as long as they're not outside the cages at the same time, I really don't foresee any problems.

Yeah, I cused FedEx a new hole when she arrived dead. The company was sorry it happened and offered to ship the replacement free of charge because of her death...only the breeder was a *******, refusing to replace the corn or refund my money...Ended up taking the issue to my credit card company and letting them go after him.....

I guess I keep looking around at the different morphs until Adam's hatch.

I know this is a very old thread, but I just wanted to post this here incase someone else stumbles upon it. Recently a directory of Canadian breeders was started, so that you (the buyer) could actually contact and visit websites from a slew of breeders in Canada. It's organized by Province, so you can always find locally. Also, to ship across Canada is usually less than 100.00, so if you find a snake across the Country its not too bad to ship it by either Reptile Express or Air Canada Cargo.

I know the BC portion is small so far, hopefully soon it will grow :)
