I re-read my post and want to state that since I (and most of us) don't know any of the parties, proof is important. Dickson I'm sure you got some paperwork with your vet visit, please post it, the BOI encourages evidence. It would certainly make a difference.

I have offered replacement animals to both parties. That’s more then fair. I have dealt with huge numbers of skinks and believe me I would never have an emaciated blue tongue on my table not to mention I have only ever even encountered but one skinny blue tongue. They basically are fat garbage disposals. That being said someone taking there animal to a vet them giving it injections and worming medicine and god only knows what else makes me not interested in replacing the animal. That essentially sounds like “voiding” it’s warranty. Because as we all know most quack vets will dose reptiles with baytril and causes kidney failure. Last but not least, all animals at the show are vet checked. If any seem sick or lethargic they are not allowed to be sold and are not cleared by the vet. Thanks, sorry for all this but this is the reality of this situation.

I smell a rat, maybe two. If you're at a reptile expo, chances are, you know the routine. You're no "newbie". Even if you are, you showed up with someone experienced. Thus who directed you to this site? Hmmm.

I suggest that those saying they have bought sick critters from William provide evidence such as vet receipts, pictures, emails to and from William, etc. |
LOL .... people get called out here all the time on not taking an animal to a vet and now in this instance , doing so it 'voids the warranty'. LOL :rofl::shrug01:

Lydia and Dickson ... if you guys are new to herps do yourselves a big favor and in the future seek out a breeder of the animal you're interested in. Buying a captive bred animal will eliminate 90% of the problems you'd have with a WC one. Instead of buying from someone who deals in everything from everywhere, find someone with animals they produced themselves or at least were captive bred. It will take a little longer to get what you want but avoiding impulse buys of WC animals at shows can often blow up in your face.
If there was a problem, a serious breeder would be more than willing to fix a problem since most are more into the animals and customer service than just making a profit. |

Also, I've vended in Atlanta, the vet check you speak of is a joke. The vet basically scans the tables and if nothing is obviously dead, you get a pass. So, that is not a defense for selling 2 BTS at the same show that have died or supposedly have died. |
Two people two dead skinks from one show. Doesn't look good.
