How did you pay for the snake and what breeder? I missed it possibly but I'm posting from a cell phone so it wouldn't of been hard.

I would also let him know you're going to post a review.

This right here...if he didn't send you the snake advertised (the one pictured) and then sends you one completely different is shady and unethical business. Unless its sold as a "grab-bag" style sale where they have multiples of a morph and you are knowingly getting one at random...this is inexcusable.

I would give him one chance to make it right, if he refuses then I would make a Bad Guy post about him on the BOI. This kind of behavior if not stopped now could hurt other people who do business with them. The BOI frowns upon people not using authentic pictures of the animal for sale...not the first time someone has gotten a bad guy thread for stealing someone's picture and selling that animal as if they had it. Those people are called scammers.

IIRC from the OP's other thread it's a 2013 male pastel and the shipping cost was almost equal to the price he paid for the snake. If I were the breeder I would just send the correct snake and tell the OP to keep the other low-quality male pastel as my rep is worth a lot more than that. Also, the OP is (I assume) fairly new to BP's and may not even feel comfortable packing up and shipping out a live reptile, I know I'm not.

Im fairly nee to morphs and breeding, but not reptiles in general. I will be posting a review once I get what I feel like is enough in return for his snake, not before in the off chance that he sees the review before i get it back then refuses, he's suppose to have more comming in in a couple weeks and I'll see if he has anything im interested in) he breeds and gets some from other local breeders to sell)

There are way to many great breeders out there with quality animals and good customer service to waste time going back and forth with someone shady. I would ask for a refund or the original snake you wanted. then post your experience on the boi. then wash your hands of it. I would never ever buy anything off of him again.

You didn't answer my question how much you paid.

I wouldn't even deal with that if I were you. You should get cash refund, and buy from a reputable breeder. What if you pick one that he gets, and he sends you something cheap, again?? Then you're wasting your time, and money.
