Ok, well my wife contacted the breeder and all he could do was appologize. He did not want to replace the snake, but did say that "he would take care of us" if we wanted to get another one. I'm not sure what that means as I did not get the whole conversation, but not only are we out what was a BEAUTIFUL snake and one of my sons favorites, but also out the money we spent on him.
I don't even know what to do or say right now. We have some pretty good attatchments to our snakes. I mean, I know we want to breed them later on down the road, but they are our pets too. We've never had a snake die on us. I'm at a loss for words...
