No idea who that breeder is at this point I don’t even care if he is a good guy either.
There is absolutely NO excuse to ship a snake via USPS, people like this make the rest of us look bad and right now it’s only adding fuel to the fire. We are fighting for our right to keep our animal and someone goes and does that……………..WTF
To the OP I hope your animal are delivered tomorrow and are safe and sound however I would not drop the issue and report the seller in question
