I'm with JordanOrNoDan! That's pretty bad. Anytime there is a deformity like that or a shedding problem the seller has to tell let you know before the transaction is confirmed. And yeah a lot of people are in it just for the money nowadays. Ball pythons are really common and it's easy for anyone to get their hands on one. It's lead to a lot of people trying to get rich and realizing they can't and then just dumping animals or people just trying to rip buyers off. It's actually becoming a really big deal around where I live. But there's still some amazing breeders out there and a good reptile community on here! If the buyer has a good reputation like you said then he should provide you with a full refund! I hope everything works out! Keep us updated!
