I would have let him know the minute i got her and let him also know of your displeasure with it.

It's not the norm, at least not what i have ran into and i went crazy and bought a few snakes the past couple years.

First was my SD retic from Kris at Vital Exotics. The male i originally ordered had a a scuffed nose from pushing which Kris caught the morning he was going to ship him. he emailed and told me what happened and didnt want to sell me the snake because it that. He made it good by giving me Caesar who is a white tiger her snow when i originally just ordered a white albino. Didnt charge me more even though the price was pretty much double. Caesar was boxed and shipped very well and Kris followed up to make sure he was ok.

Second was Victoria. Got her from Ashley Lopez and we talked on the phone and he was boxed and shipped well and was what i expected. Ashley followed up on the phone to make sure she was ok when she got here.

Third was Gina from Christopher Wolf and we talked a long time about all kinds of BCCs. He gave me the run down on exactly how he cares for them and sent me a video of her over FB so i could see her as well as pics of the litter when they were born and everything. She was packed very well to and we followed up and he wants to see pics of her as she is growing. If or more likely when i pick up a Peruvian or another Pokigron Suriname, I will for sure be getting one from Chris as he's got both Iquitos and Pucallpa pure blood BCCs. He focuses on keeping his stuff pure blood and doesnt like to cross breed even his BCCs.

Certain breeders do still take pride in their collections and those are who scrutinize with the microscope and make my list. There are a lot of people out there though who are in it for the buck now unfortunately since reptiles seem to have gone kind of mainstream now compared to when i was a kid.

Anyways, sorry to hear about the mess you are dealing with and again, shout outs to Kris at Vital Exotics, Ashley Lopez at Black Forest Constrictors and Christopher Wolf who does pure BCCs as well as some very obscure BCCs you dont see much.
