Vent before my head explodes
Well it finally happed, i got screwed by a "breeder". He had good reviews on fauna and I just trusted them without being familiar with him since it wasnt that expensive of a 2 gene bp. That is, until what i received is a plain spider that is male instead of female and has MITES. Grr. Before the purchase he answered my emails instantly. After i received it, hes now MIA. I gave him a chance but now ive filed for a charge dispute to my credit card and its pretty cut and dry i did not get what was discussed and i paid for so thats not the issue, im just wondering if i get my full amount back if im expected to come up with another $50 to mail it back or if they somehow make the seller cover that. Has anyone had a similar situation? He still has a big listing on KS thats making me cringe knowing his whole collection has mites and he cant sex them properly. I didnt notice if KS has a place to leave feedback on a seller listing on their site but i do intend to share my experience of him once my credit dispute is finalized. So glad i qt but this is still costing me so much time in treating and scrubbing the enclosure for an animal i didnt want.

Bummer. That's a bummer.
I guess when it seems to good to be true it usually is...awful that someone else is lying to profit. Hope you get your money back and are able to convince them to pay for the shipping...

So gather up your evidence, make your own post, and save the rest of us the hassle of dealing with mites.

im just not sure if its wise to do that before this is resolved but really i guess theres no reason not to. Im only stating facts so it isnt any kind of slander.I have very clear proof of everything and emailed him pictures of mites on the snake and also directly asked if he intends to try making this right with me or just continue to ignore my emails. Ill gladly share his name here but i believe theres a different place thats prefered to list complaints and name names. Unless this whole post should just be moved.

^ this. also some threads in the Fauna BOI have turned really ugly and into witch hunts or pissing matches in past weeks. make sure u have a solid write-up and pix in case the breeder attacks u for the post.

Meh there isnt anything to attach me back about so that doesnt concern me at all. Ill gladly take a video probing the snake to show its male or can have the last few recent people that bought snakes from me confirm my collection is pest free. I also have an unboxing video if someone wants to go as far as saying it isnt the same snake.
Can an admin confirm if its ok to just share the breeders info here?

You can share the breeder's info. As far as sexing does the animal probe male on both side?

There is an Inquiries/Feedback forum under the Business section of this site.

Also you were sent a snake that is the wrong morph, wrong sex, and has mites, and the seller hasn't responded to your emails for several days at least.
Frankly I admire your restraint, I would have put warnings up by now.

Yep probes male on both sides. Ill wait until my husband is home to hold a camera while i probe it. Hes over 1000g and honestly i usually suck at getting adults to pop so i go the less stressful route.

If the seller has had ample time to respond to your communication but there's been NONE then I'd post everything up on the FOI. Don't get emotional or opinionated with it, like don't go on a rant about how much you got screwed when you took a chance on a little guy, just give everyone the facts and support the facts with as much proof as you can.

Agreed. If this person already has 'good guy' reviews in fauna, you should warn people so they don't go through the same thing only seeing good guy posts.
I hope the person responds to you and starts making it right.
