Mitchell, Why give him 7 free snakes? And then 30 free? To sell in a deal? Or breed for you? Just because you guys WERE friends? I got a lil lost there sorry. Sounded just like he was a guy who begged for free snakes and you gave in so I was just curious
Stu, did you have the animal tested? While I do trust advice from the forums and they are a great way to gain knowledge and Info on just about anything if the right people are viewing but with something so possibly dangerous to a collection I would still get a Vet's diagnosis to put to bed the "it's just a humidity problem" claim. With these snakes the humidity can seriously effect shedding and it's the easiest claim a simple problem to add doubt. Hearing you have 40 years of keeping leads most of us I'm sure, to believe the issue is with the breeder NOT you, but confirmation of the disease would very well put an end to that. I hope this works out for you and I hope they don't have to be destroyed
