To the OP-
The breeder who did this to you lied & BROKE THE LAW, not to mention risking the lives of those snakes & putting you in a terrible situation. I'm glad you got the snakes & they are ok, but that is IN SPITE of the seller's actions. Thanks for giving the name- folks like that I will not do business with & I'm sure you wouldn't have either if you knew he was going to pull this.
