Holy sheet. I saw the BOI feedback on Kick now. I had the new snake quarantined anyway and does not show signs of mites or of anything being off, but I will beware of any sort of odd behavior or sicklyness. She looks fine now, but I will be.. well, I cannot say extra-vigilant, since I am extra vigilant anyway.. But I will definitely not be buying from them again, I can say that.

They do have a "No refunds on live animals" sign plainly in their store, by the register. I do not see myself being able to get any sort of refund from them; from what I see on the BOI, they will just point to the sign. I guess that the future can only be changed, and for now, I just hope that this snake is okay and does not show signs of illness or anything.

I did not see anything amiss in the store itself. There is a huge ton of different herps offered there, and when we walked through yesterday, things did not seem to be visibly dirty or too overcrowded. Looking back at the posts that are more recent than my experience with them years ago, I am scared; I'll say that much. I see the info about animals appearing okay at shows and then dying a week later. I will say that if anything at all is amiss about this snake, I will let you all know, and will contribute to the BOI. I will not just leave a feel-good post now because the snake is alive and appears well.. this snake had better be okay too, because my husband used his funds to buy the snake, and will probably explode like a propane tank if anything is wrong with her.
