    Yeah, I find it sketchy that a lesser was offered when that snake is half the price of the original animal. Maybe that was when the mystic was still alive?

    Am I the only one who finds it odd that as soon as Jon offered a replacement snake the OP's mystic was euthanized and now they're apologetic and avoiding the simple questions I asked...?

    EDIT: not trying to be a jerk, it just looks really sketchy to me.

    Not being a Jerk at all, I understand where you're coming from. Truthfully she died on her own. I didn't feel like saying she died was a good idea as this thread already turned into a breeder bash (stupid enough I know) and I didn't want it to turn into a further worse thread. Like I said earlier, I didn't want this initially to be a bash breeder thread

    I would never try to exploit a horrible situation to try and get something. He was out of Mystic females and offered a lesser, which his pricing was only a $75 difference

    So even though she was obviously sick and there was ample time to take her to a vet, you didn't?

    How exactly did you and Brian agree on a lesser female? They're like half the value of a mystic. Who would take that deal, and who would offer that deal? It doesn't all add up...

    I was told after the first day quote "Sometimes when they get to cold they can act" drunk", but after a day or 2 it should clear up". My wife was the one who talked to the receptionist during the lesser offer. I heard it from her. The way he had it priced the lesser was not half the price, it was a $75 difference in price.

    What difference does it make whether she died on her own or you had her euthanized? She was shipped to you in a bad state of health either way, right? Did you ever take her to the vet or call in, and if so what did they say about what was wrong with her?

    See I don't BELIEVE she was SHIPPED with a pro existing condition as that would be just...horrible. I went on BHBs word that it would clear up, (my mistake #1,i immediately should have done more). But there was no excuse for not just taking her to a vet in my area, no excuses will be made on my end for that. I did trust that what we were told would have fixed it, as after the first few days she started to move around.

    You got the snake on 2/11. It didn't die until 2/22. After it didn't stop acting drunk for the first few days, why didn't you take it to the vet then?

    And I agree with Brandi, I don't see why you'd lie about it being euthanized and dying. Unless you euthanized it and decided to change your story.

    Lessers are NOT a 75 difference. That's a 150 snake in a good day.

    No, I went on the fact it would improve which I shouldn't have done,I should have taken it to the vet immediately. Like I said, I'm not about to make excuses for NOT taking it, but as for saying she was euthanized, I do agree with some comments on this thread how it's unfair to bash someone who can't provide their story, which is why I didn't want to come out and say she died,. A lot of people already concluded The breeder was screwed up for what went on, I didn't think it was a good idea to further throw gas on an already growing fire. Bottom line, I SHOUKD have just gone with my guy and taken her in and didn't.
