I bought a male pastel in May and never sexed it until just recently. It turns out it was a female. I contacted the breeder to let him know he sent me a female just in case someone had bought a female and got a male instead. Turns out I am the only one to tell him about a missexed animal.

Anyway, here is the problem I am now faced with.
I paid $400 for the pastel in May (that did not include shipping). He has no pastels left at the moment.

He has offered me 2 options.

Option Number One:
Return this snake to him and he will send me an '07 male when they become available. I pay to ship this one back and he pays to ship me the new one.

Option Number Two:
I keep this pastel and send him another $800 to make up the difference between what I paid for a male and what he charged for females.

Both options suck if you ask me.
I feel that I am getting the shaft for letting him know about the missexing.

I have not replied with an answer yet and quite frankly I don't want to wait for an '07 animal or pay a huge amount to keep this snake.

What do you suggest?
