Is this Normal from a known breeder?

It was plenty warm here it was in the 60's here

He PM'd me the breeders name...it is definitely a big breeder. The breeder's terms are as follows:

"If you do have trouble with any animals you receive from us within one week of receipt, please contact us and let us help you find a solution to the problem. If a replacement is necessary, we reserve the right to replace the animal with a similar animal that has the same value. If the animal cannot be replaced, we will give you credit towards a different type or towards a future purchase. We do not give out cash refunds. "


The only reason I can see the breeder is asking for an extra $250 is if the similar animal is really worth that much more. BUT if they are the same genetics, there shouldn't be that big of a price difference.

And if it was too cold to ship, then the BREEDER should not have shipped...especially knowing who it is!!

Who's the breeder?

[Derrick]

The exact same male as I purchased, same price and everything.

[Griffith]

Screw it, I'll say it. It was Royal Constrictor Designs....I advised the OP to post his emails here regarding the replacement, and to contact Garrick.

[Derrick]

And thats the thing..I told him it died. and he told me to heat it for 3-4 hours and see..then the conversations about it stopped and heard less until today

[Griffith]

Hmm...well according to the OP, he payed $550 for the first one, and that is the price of the 2 males on the website that are still available.

According to the breeders terms, it should be a direct replacement...but I dunno at this point

[Derrick]

It's just when it happened the conversation became nonexistent. That is what annoys me.

[Griffith]

Have you tried calling them?? They have a phone number listed on the site.

[Derrick]

I was just trying to see what he wanted to do about it. So I was being patient and seeing what would happen. Then I got that a few hours ago.
