Killer Bee Fire? Ripped Off?

Something ain't right with this...I'd like to see the breeder chime in...

Obviously a Firebee. Here are sisters from last season around 1000g. The difference between Killer Firebee and Firebee is obvious.

Did someone say Superfly? This is a brother to the two girls above.

With what you've told us so far, you've been ripped off, price is irrelevant. If you were sold the animal as being a killer bee fire and that is genetically what it is not, price doesn't matter and neither does how nice of a firebee it is. You were not sold what you were told you were getting and there is a huge difference in breeding power between the two.

I would say that while you might not have been 'ripped off' in terms of price, you definitely were mislead. It doesn't matter if it was a good price, you didn't get what you paid for. From looking around on here and WOBP, that lacks a lot of the killer traits, and I don't really see how they could stretch it as a killer when it clearly isn't. They should either give you a partial refund, or replace the snake with an actual killer fire bee.

My thoughts exactly. Price should be taken out of the equation.

I would send another email telling them to get back with you and explain what's going on or you're gonna drop their name in this thread...that may get their attention...

Just an update -

The breeder got back to me, said if I had a big issue with the snake I could just bring him back for a refund. They said they offered a genetic guarantee. Initially I was worried when I talked to them on the phone and they said they would work something out. Since I did not have it in writing I was worried they could just say a year from now yea sorry we can't help ya bud. I seemed to frustrate them, "Giving you a good deal turned out to be more hassle than its worth" so sorry guys if your reading this.

Thanks for your input and help everybody
