I need some help on holding fees

[Vithaxton]

But I am driving to meet him tonight and hopefully we can get everything taken care of and everyone can walk away happy! 99% of the time that's how it goes! I'm very confident that once we meet face to face we can get it sorted out!

If you insist on getting this snake, just don't pay the breeder any extra money when you get there to pick it up. As has been mentioned, you already paid an extra $50 which should more than cover it. Don't get taken advantage of. This guy is getting out of the business so he doesn't care if this deal tarnishes his reputation.

Thanks! I definitely will! And I'm thankful for all of the support, information, and experience everyone of you has provided! I hope this post helps with anyone who doesn't know about holding fees or how much they should be charged if at all in the future! I originally searched for holding fees on here and couldn't find anything so at least we now have a thread for it! Furthermore I think Oxylepy's rule of thumb on holding fees being 10% of the total price sounds very fair and I'll always keep that in mind!

Is he at least guaranteeing the health of the animal? Holding fee should be the responsibility of the owner/ seller since the animal is still in his care. Totally unacceptable and not customer friendly no matter how much he smiles at you.

I got him guys! He's definitely healthy! But he surprised me because he told me it was a young juvenile but it's an adult snake! He still has a bit of growing to do but he's definitely breeder size and weight! As well as age. It got all worked out in the end and he said yes that true that you did pay the $50. So he let it go! And gosh he's an absolute stunner and was worth the hassle! I'm glad the guy is getting out of business though. All he talked about was how you can't make money off of balls anymore.

Pffft, yeah, so he tries to make a little extra off of you for one last go, I guess. What a real charmer.

[Vithaxton]

Omg! How are you still awake Lizardlicks lol And yes the worst part was he said he was done with the trick since it had already locked with two of his females! (So much for him getting out of the market) I'm just glad he's going to a better home honestly! I hate it when people treat animals like objects. He acted like a completely different person. But its all in the past now! I took a quick pit stop and I should get home at 2 a.m! I'll send you guys a picture of him tomorrow when I wake up!

And with these last update pictures I think we can put this thread to rest! Lol Thank you again to all of you guys and your posts! The pastave trick was worth the hassle but I'm never doing that again! I'm also very grateful that I now know about holding fees and how they work! Plus you guys made me grow a spine and stand up for myself against a ridiculous snake breeder. I hope you all have a wonderful day and I'm very grateful for all your help!

Beautiful animal. I understand why you wanted it so bad. Glad things worked out.
