    Re: Downsizing Collection 9 snakes up for grab

    Jesus H man.....do you have any NON-dehydrated snakes?!?! That Jungle & Retic are flat out TERRIBLE looking. Those animals are not simply in shed, they are SEVERELY dehydrated and emaciated. I am stunned by what I've seen here.

    Yes I am aware that 15oz is just short of a pound, but are you aware tht 19-20 oz is alittle over a pound.
    First I tell you what I found out, than I tell you what I was told to correct it. My god what do you want me to do???? Do you have a freaking vet that you want me to take it to?? wiggle my nose??? we are talking 4-5 oz's, that is not extremely under weight.
    What do you recommend??? you seem like the expert here... Do you have a recommended weight chart?? that take lenght, girth, and age and gives you the correct weight?
    you have not seen the snake, only some burry photos, even you said that they were blurry. you don't know how long she is or the girth size, but you can sit there and insult everything about her. If you want to buy her than buy her. If not than leave it alone.

    ok cracker,

    you posted tons of snake pics that are underweight. what do you expect? a medal for not feeding your snakes well? because if it isnt that then it is intestional parasites. you told me the etb is 15 oz underweight. that is about 25% which is pretty devastating to a thin bodied snake. why dont you stop taking pictures from your cell phone becuase they are clearly misleading many bpnet members due to the lack of a good camera when you should be posting clear pics when you have an animal for sale. have fun selling your unhealthy animals to unexpecting victoms

    Those poor snakes. Hopefully the people that purchased them knew they were getting animals that are not in the best of health.

    Please put a humid hide in with that JCP. That shed is going downhill fast and bad sheds can cause alot of trouble for young carpet pythons.

    Re: Downsizing Collection 9 snakes up for grab

    Its very obvious that the Retic and Jungle had multiple retained eye caps, which if not treated could result in the loss of the use of their eye(s). They've got this new thing out that works wonders for this kind of situation.......its called water, maybe you've heard of it.

    Re: Downsizing Collection 9 snakes up for grab

    I've held back what I have to say because I have no experience with some of the snakes to make a judgement call on ur animals. However, I must go with my gut instinct and say that both the Retic and the Carpet python look emaciated to my eyes. You should under all circumstances consider not making the sale until you've had a chance to bring their "condition" back up to par.

    Re: Downsizing Collection 9 snakes up for grab

    Ok. I don't want to be attacked for claiming to know everything there is to know about every snake in the world. I'm a lowly casual BP owner. BUT, I do have an opinion, all be it not a professional one. I agree with what many have said. Some of the snakes do appear dehydrated and/or underweight. If nothing else, take to heart what seems to be the general concensus: something is wrong with your photos at best, your snakes at worst.

    If I were in the market for another snake as a casual owner, I most certainly would not buy one from you based on what I've seen in the photos.

    Re: Downsizing Collection 9 snakes up for grab

    I don't know much at all about ETB and carpet pythons except for what I have read and seen here. I have to say those poor snakes look horrible compared to the pics of "healthy" snakes that I have seen posted here. As for the snakes that are in shed...even after only owning my bp for almost 6 mths...I know that a healthy snake and a good shed DO NOT LOOK LIKE THAT!
