New Pewter

[Kinra]

That's unbelievable that they wouldn't tell a customer about a kink like that, especially when somebody is dropping a half a grand or more on the animal. but even if it was a normal, that information should be shared. I know you wanted to breed her and unfortunately won't be able to. I feel really bad for you Kinra. If you want, I can give you your boa back because i know you got rid of him because you had to make room for the pewter..and if I produce more than one pewter next year, which i should because i'm going to breed my cinny to multiple pastels, you can have one for free.

Thanks, it means a lot to me to know that I have good friends. I don't really want the boa back because he doesn't fit into any of my breeding plans and I'm very happy that he has a home with you.

I should produce some pewters next year (if my cinny will start eating for me again >_<) but maybe we can do a trade and both try for super pewters in the future.

Oh no, Kinra! I am so sorry to see that this happened to you. Could not have happened to a nicer person. They should have disclosed that information before you purchased the snake. Any defect or flaw should be made clear to the buyer. It isn't like they can claim that they didn't see the kink, its a very large kink!

If you really want to keep her as a pet, I would tell them you want a considerable amount of your money back. The pet price for a snake should not be the same as a breeding price. She cannot be bred, you should not have to pay what a breedable female costs! If they don't agree then you really should send her back, hard as it will be, you can't allow them to get away with scamming you like that.

It's too funny that you should mention that because that is exactly what they said in the reply e-mail I just got. I sent them two of the pictures I took, one where you can see where the kink is and the last one I posted that shows just how bad the kink is.

I will keep updating this thread as I hear back from them. I also want to repeat that this isn't a feedback thread on BHB, mainly because I posted this right after I sent them an e-mail. They haven't had a chance to make it right yet and how they decide to make it right is what really matters. Mistakes happen and the bigger you the more you will make, how you handle them is what really says a lot about you.
