You made an impulse decision to buy a dwarf retic because you knew an interstate transport ban would be set in place. You didn't get the animal you wanted (although the species is known to be tempermental and the breeder told you that it was a nippy snake) so you contacted the breeder AFTER the ban had been put in place and you're upset because things didn't go your way. Please tell me what exactly he was supposed to do? As far as I'm concerned it was 100% your responsibility.
