I think it's unfair of you expect a full return of the snakes you submitted for the trade when you very likely could produce two clutches from that male.

Ultimately, it's a sucky situation. I don't believe in the least that Xavier knew the snake had internal ulcers and I don't think he should be held accountable for that. We are dealing with live animals and it happens. However me, I would offer the other party something to compensate for the unfortunate situation if only as a show of good faith to a customer.
