Sick Snakes

It would make me think if they were really het. ghosts or not.

Man... that's just sad. So sorry your having to deal with this. I understand not wanting to cause a stir, but I for one would like to know who these animals came from. ESPECIALLY considering that the replacement snakes were also sick... Now I reeeeeally wanna know. I'll send you a pm. Just keep in mind, that if you do decide to post the seller, it might be bad for him/her.... but it might potentially keep someone from purchasing a problem animal, and might prompt the seller to be more aware of his animals!?!?
I don't know... but at any rate, best of luck!

Michelle...

I am also curious about them being het ghost...I hope they are but at this moment I just hope they live and if they do then I will have a chance at some ghost in a few years. I do think they will make it and believe they are on the road to health...but fingers still crossed.

rabernet...

I don't believe sending more sick snakes "made things right" but I have tried to look at it from both sides. He sent 5 snakes the first time and the spider was the only one sick and the other 4 are kicking and healthy, the secong time the pastel het ghost arrived with the mouth rot and I just don't want to give up on peoples honesty...I am trying really hard to believe it is a coincidence that they turned up sick also...this is the reason I don't want to name them publically...on the chance they got sick during shipping temps and stress.

Thanks for all the positive responses!

PLUS many vet bills!

The extra vet bills have been a bit expensive...but as some say..."If you can't afford the vet, you can't afford the pet"...and that is the truth. There is always a chance a new snake will show up sick and need vetrinary care, but all our other ball pythons we have had shipped have arrived perfect so I think my situation is the exception to the rule.

Well hope it all works out for you, i see were you are coming from on not wanting to drag his name through the dirt but.. if you do not post it publically here and in the BOI it could happen to alot more people. Personally i was always very skeptical of buying on line, eventually i checked for anything i could find about who i wanted to purchase from. I would never buy from someone who has any bad reviews, i know things happen through shipping but not what you ended up with.
