I purchased a female Mojave a little over a month ago and before I purchased her I specifically asked if she had been bred recently. The seller said she had a clutch last season and hadn't been paired since. She hadn't eaten since I got her, but I have had that happen with a few other BPs I have had shipped to me, so I didn't think anything of it.

Well 2 days ago I open her tub to check on her and she is coiled around 5 eggs and 1 slug. Normally I would be happy about something like this, but I had bought her to bred with a Black Head male that will be ready to breed around November. Now I'll have to wait until next season. I emailed the seller without mentioning that they had told me they hadn't paired her recently and told them about the surprise eggs and asked if they knew what she had been paired with and they replied that they thought they had bred her to an Enchi. So that would rule out sperm retention.

My question is what should I do about confronting the sellers about this? Should I ask for a refund of some kind? I am now looking at having to care for 5 hatchlings that I didn't plan on, and hopefully eventually finding good homes for them. I'll also have to wait a year or so to try for the pairing I wanted. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
