Impatience is not the only blame.
Shame on both parties.

So no, that is not normal from a big breeder, as they normally wouldn't have shipped! That loss is his, Garrick is in no way obligated to do anything for him. And what is so damn important that he HAD to have them shipped that day?? For the safety of the animal, he couldn't wait a day or two? Really? Disgusting is what this all is. A snake died probably because of someone's impatience.
And to Nimbly, after all this came out, Garrick had a right to know and to speak his side of the story. Also, for the record, I have purchased from Garrick, and my transaction was fine, and my snake arrived alive.
