WHAT is this horrid mess?!?

Thats a great idea ctrlfreq!!... Freaki... Unfortunately I didnt get your warning until after I sent him the money :(

Emily I am sorry to hear the news, but also glad its something that is treatable. I wish the snake a speedy recovery. I am also curious to see how fast she gains weight after she is all through with her treatment.

As far as contacting Ed goes or posting on the BOI I think you are very correct about what he will do. I have seen some of the things he has said and done recently. Although I don't know him personally, his actions have spoken very loud. I just hope no one else has to go through this too.

Keep us updated on her progress.

Kristy :)

This now has me sketched out about the babies I got from him.

I'm now real curious to know if my snakes are the right sexes... Ive seen examples of how to pop(step by step picture instructions on the web) but have never seen it done. My vet will not probe small snakes bc he has gotten complaints before in the past that he "hurt someones snake"... Theres a thread going under "general BP's" on popping... I dont want to Hijack this thread so can anyone post some insight over there? Thanks all

Josh, I would definitely take fecal samples from these two to be tested. This is not the first time Ed has had issues with sending out snakes infested with parasites (the last one discussed here was with mites where he admitted he didn't quarantine - but claimed it was the only time he didn't quarantine). Thankfully, I've never purchased from Ed and don't ever plan to, but if I did, I'd be getting my animals tested just to ease my mind.

I'm sorry to hear that Emily. I wish you the best as you get her healthy again, and I hope the rest of your animals remain parasite free. *fingers crossed*

Bwahahahahaha!!! Brilliant thoughts, Jeff and Robin!!

Emily....this just sucks so badly! I'm saddened and dismayed about all of this. No one deserves to make that sort of discovery, but you least of all! :hug:

I really do think you should make a post on the BOI. If for no other reason than to warn his other customers because only a fraction of them frequent this site and may read this thread. But, I entirely understand your reluctance to do so, because he will almost certainly try to twist it around into some sort of BP.net vendetta against him. That being said...there are some serious "big guns" over there who will not let him get very far with those sorts of games at all.

It's entirely up to you though, hon. I've only ever posted one good-guy report over on BOI, even though I follow it fairly closely to keep up with who is doing what. But if I need to, I'll go to bat for you over there.

Anyone care to explain BOI?
