Re: New Arrival!!! Lots of Pics!
I managed to snap a pic that I LOVE once she warmed up a bit and settled.

Having heard now from other buyers, I now have a better understanding of why he may have done what he did. I wasn't going to mention the name or the site until I had an explanation because, aside from horrible communication skills (I had to contact him about 5 times for my invoice), he really was a great guy to work with, and he really knows his stuff. Like I said earlier, I'd rather not run to the BOI with my complaints. Especially without an explanation. You know? And you're all correct in saying my hands are not a good way to judge temp. That is partially why I made a point to say I did not use a temp gun for the temp estimation.
As long as she remains healthy, there was no harm done. I would not speak ill of someone (especially by name) for everyone else to see without a very good reason.
All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase and despite these issues, would probably buy from him again. The quality of the animal was well worth any issues/ frustrations.
Well I think I was the first to bring the name in, but You had already posted on the forum about getting this girl from Jeff. So I think most here would have known already who you were talking about. I did understand your frustration and fears. It shows good character to not just run to the BIO.(that place gets crazy) I understood Jeff reasons, I do guess it would be good to post this in his TOS or shipping info area. That way it would hopeful abate some fears.

I got 6 new additions coming 2 boas , 4 balls, none from Jeff this year, I just can't justify a $4K+ price tag.
I do have limited space to, and running out of room fast. I already need to build new cages and another rack, and need an incubator and other supplies.
Again that girl is gorgeous.
You will quite pleased with this girl, just wait to she colors up some more and I am sure she will. :D

I believe you are correct. I guess I had forgotten that I specified who I was buying from in the previous thread. I apologize. :)
Congrats on the new kids! I can't wait to see some pics! :gj: That sounds like ALOT to do. I wish I had some building skill...then I wouldn't have to drop $800+ on an enclosure. Lol. And if I breed eventually, I will only ever breed my boas. That way I don't have to deal with the incubator and wondering if I'm doing everything right. :P
Again, thank you! She's the star of my collection for sure. I might have to get her a boyfriend one day, and I can almost garauntee it will be from Jeff (especially now that I understand why he ships the way he does). Lol.
Re: New Arrival!!! Lots of Pics!
Extremely nice looking boa!
I agree on the shipping box needing a heat pack. I think the tube sock for small snakes is a great idea! I also was impressed by the thickness of the styrofoam used. I have been concerned about shipping in cold weather myself, but, have been told by several breeders that they never use heat packs. idk???
Re: New Arrival!!! Lots of Pics!
I'd love to see what the $800 enclosure looks like!
