Dilemma, 2 BP deaths after 1 week after local sale

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I have seen no video or pictures of these animals.

That to me is a huge red flag if you have not seen pics or video.


There are a few possibilities here

A/ Not dead trying to get the money back and keep the snakes for free, not unheard of.

B/ Snakes both dead due to their husbandry or lack thereof, not unheard off either, I have seen people trying to get refund when buying animal from shows and killing it on the way home.

The chances of 2 healthy adults passing after a few days in the new owner's care is very slim unless they did something wrong, and since there is no video or pictures at this point you have to wonder if they are really dead, I know I would.

I have a very specific protocol in place should something like that happens one is pictures and or videos are mandatory, two the animals may have to be returned to me if I am not satisfied with the pictures. (The customer having their own necropsy done does not mean anything, they could take a different dead snake from their collection and have a necropsy done.)

Full refund is only issued if I am satisfied that the dead snake is indeed MY snake and of course it must occur within the time frame of the guarantee, of course exception may be made depending on whom the buyer is.

You'd be surprised how many people manage to kill their reptiles in just a few days.
