It just baffles me, I've purchased snakes from this company both on separate occasions in 2017 the first one was for 0.1 ptyas dhumnades sold to me as Captive Hatched

I received the animal which appeared to be in good condition and was feeding well on pinkies as advertised. 2 weeks later the poor thing was found dead in her enclosure from unknown causes.


The other purchase was for 1.1 gonyosoma frenatum sold to me as CB,

acquired from a trade at a reptile show I was told.
After arrival I asked about some lumps on these frenatum and was told they were nothing to worry about. I ran into a financial situation and ended up selling them misrepresented because of this.

Now I do keep rather unique species, but my experience is not very substantial when it comes to diagnosing parasites or distinguishing wc from cb.
HOWEVER, I will take blame for selling some shit frenatum to Rob and I do intend to re compensate him for what I did in the future for sure, I am not a terrible reptile keeper, nor do I condone importing fauna into the country thats riddled with parasites.

Joe, as soon as you can, please add the images as actual uploaded attachments to this site itself so that your thread is section-rule-compliant. You can usually manage 4 images per post (depending on the device used; some mobile devices make the process more tedious). Adding them to subsequent posts is fine, but we need that done asap. Thanks in advance.

Can I ask why you wouldn't take the animals to a vet if you were concerned and the seller brushed it off? I understand that you ran into financial trouble, but their care was your responsibility until you sold them. Did they have the lumps when you sold them?

Thought I would add this last bit of evidence from the texts we exchanged with each other, I'm not sure who this person is that Legacy Reptiles Mentioned but he might be the source of them.

Please excuse my language towards the end in my post, the snakes were beautiful in every way shape and form, but imperfect to sell.

Not possible to know for sure. Frenatum are commonly bred in Europe (thats where I got most of mine) but not very commonly bred in USA with only a few produced here a year. There were also some WC ones that came in last year. It's very possible someone sold him the WC ones as CB.

I'm not sure why you are including this animal in the 'bad guy' report here. If she died of 'unknown causes' you have not shown in any way that the death was the fault of the seller.

Because you were short of money you did not disclose the lumps to your buyer?
