Not thrilled with LLL Reptile.

[RobNJ]

the reason I don't want a replacement animal is bc i think that the kingsnake could have had something.

Then have a necropsy done....not cool to speculate on a public forum like that. If it scares you that much, it should be no issue to follow the proper protocol to either confirm or alleviate your fear. If you're not willing to do that, you surely shouldn't be bringing it up here...

Have you addressed this particular concern of yours with LLL?
