I agree that if he was mucusy with bubbles that isn't something that shows up in 2 days. I think the trip to the emergency vet was overkill and unnecessary and I can see how the seller won't want to pay for those fees. I do think a vet trip was necessary, don't get me wrong... you obviously are very worried about your new charge. Usually bumping up the heat while waiting for the vet visit is rather standard from what I understand (haven't had to deal with an RI in almost 20 years *knock on wood*) but that's a moot point now since you already did the emergency situation. Yes emergency vets are very high priced (over $1500 on one of my cats before). I was a bit taken aback by so many photos over the first two days as that is a bit much for a brand new snake that should be left alone but I wouldn't think that would be the cause for the RI to progress so much and that would be a silly thing to blame this on IMO.
Was there no heat pack? That is something I do not understand! Especially with the long fedex delay, all of that is not good.
I hope the seller is willing to work with you and I hope for a fast recovery for Yafe.
