Hi there this is Joshua over at Marki Reptiles. Not sure who the poster is as I haven't had anyone contact me regarding anything I've sold to anyone of late and haven't sold an albino anything in 2014. Glad to see whoever you are that you signed up this morning here as it's a great place to find information on the care and keeping of ball pythons as well as meet others who enjoy the hobby. If your having an issue with any animal the first thing to do would be to contact the breeder and discuss your issue with the animal to see what can be done to resolve it. Most of us who do this as our living have spend decades working with animals and if at 14 you need help or concern with something you buy contacting the breeder directly often you can learn from them and and resolve whatever issue your having. Follow up addressing all kinds of things from health, housing, feeding etc. is a large part of working with animals and something any good breeder would be happy to do. Posting something of this nature on a public forum without having contacted the breeder at any point can for some lead to sore feelings as your post suggest that as a breeder I would have sent you a less then perfect animal. Now for me as I can recall I haven't sold an albino anything in 2014 so "recent" is not an accurate statement. Nor have I ever sold an animal with any of the issues you have mentioned above to anyone. If I had animals offering mouth rot, ri, and scale rot? Goodness I wouldn't be selling animals very long! After the sale of thousands of animals this being the first and only negative post found on the internet about my company speaks volumes more then I can of the quality and care of animals I offer. Whomever you are I wish you luck in the full recovery of your animal however it developed these issues. With proper care, husbandry and a reptile focused veterinarian you should be able to correct whatever isn't working for your animal within your home. That said I hope this is a lesson learned not just for you but anyone who reads this post. Buying an animal is a commitment. One that if you find you are having an issue with needs addressed as soon as you see it. Don't be afraid to ask when something isn't right. Contact the seller, get on a good forum like this one here, find a good local vet etc. These examples would have gone far farther to help you and your animal months ago then this post here has today.
