Not thrilled with LLL Reptile.

(yes, you are placing blame) on Mike.

...no blame was placed whatsoever...Mike was in the right to post his experience. Believe it or not, although I don't post on here 10+ x's a day, I actually know what I'm talking about some of the time. Mike only had to own his own words...when I took note of "something" that the snake may have had, he said I was mixing words....which I clearly was not. Let's put a brief summary on this...


"I bought a Fla king snake from LLL at a show. I had it for 10 days, it shed, it fed, and then it died. I contacted LLL, and they told me guarantees are only for 24 hours. Still, they offered me credit towards a future purchase(when all I wanted was a refund). Since I don't want another animal from LLL, and they won't refund me, I will not pursue this any further. I understand business is business."

^^That is an awesome summary, no blame on Mike whatsoever, and then we get to here...

"By the way, I think the snake died because it had a disease/infection, and I think there other animals may be infected, so I don't want another one from them, and now am worried about my collection, but I won't get a necropsy to see if it's anything potentially harmful"

Yeah, not so good there....and Kodie, you brought up the BOI before...if you think the last part of Mike's story would fly there you obviously aren't too familiar with it.

I like Mike, and I can understand how he's feeling, but potentially harmful speculation has no place here.

And ColeSlaw, I am aware that the likelihood of anything that may or may not be transmitting from a king snake to ball pythons is unlikely. But, unless it is discussed with LLL, and the animal Mike got from them was found to be ill with something that could not have possibly happened while in Mike's possession, how do you know there is no way they would assist with or cover the costs of a necropsy. Sounds like more nonsensical speculation if you ask me....
