    Sorry to hear about that Chris. I was late posting because I just found out about this. Let me know if we can do anything for you. I hope you can get something a little better out of the breeder in the near future. I don't think he handled the situation very well.

    I agree with Tim... I'm sorry this "breeder" handled the situation so poorly.

    Keep us updated with what else happens..

    Daytona was 8/24 correct? Now it's 11/1. So that's a full two months you've had her. I would not expect a refund of any sort. If she was a non-feeder, I feel you should have asked for a refund before now. Yes, she never ate, but you had her in your possesion for 8 weeks, and I'm not certain how long a guarentee is supposed to run.
    I'd say that perhaps the breeder could have volunteered something, or volunteered something before she died, like offering a refund for the snake back... but I'm not sure I would say he/she is "obligated" to refund after 8 weeks.
    I'm very sorry for your loss, she looks like she was a lovely snake.

    I am sorry for your loss but I gotta ask -- it's been 2 months since Daytona, did you contact the breeder at all to express your concerns or try to work out a way to get the snake feeding or maybe arrange for a replacement or did you just contact the breeder after the snake died? Due to the time of year a lot of fresh hatchlings are at the show but if the snake was upward of 4 weeks old it could well have been feeding regularly at the breeders facility prior to being sold. That doesn't excuse the breeders reaction -- but if you didn't contact him for two months I'm not sure what you expect him to do? And it does sound like you were accusatory in nature. I could be reading the situation wrong and if so I apologize. :weirdface

    I contacted him about 2-4weeks before she died.I expressed that I'am worried about her she looks fine at the moment but she has showed no intrest in her food.Then about a week before she died she looked horrible so I took her to a local breeder,and her assumtion was that snake looks like it has never eaten.Then we are here.Also I had no intentions of asking for a refund or exchanged,but the fact of him being a well know'd breeder and being such a jerk to us is were I'am really mad at.

    Sorry for your loss. That happened to me with my very first snake. Granted I didn't know what I was doing and I joined this site for some help. She didn't eat once for me and was a very young baby. I started assist feeding her and finally after 3 months she ate her first meal on all her own....and died just like yours :( It is terribly sad when that happens.
