According to your post, you had the type II anery in quarantine for a few weeks and then took her to the vet and stated that you were surprised she had so much color. Did you not look her over when you received her or sometime throughout the few weeks you had her? It just sounded like you were shocked that all of a sudden she had so much color. Then, after you accepted the two additional babies and went to pick them up, you stated that shortly after you got them you noticed mites. Once again, did you not look them over right away? When you were still at his place and before you decided to accept them? That just doesn't make sense to me, especially after his past dealing with you.

Another thing that I guess I don't understand is the amount of vet visits in the short time that you had the DH ghost. If she was in as poor condition as you state and had the stomatitis, I could understand an initial vet visit for treatment and medication. But four vet visits, two of which included tube feedings within under six weeks seems excessive and unfortunately may have contributed to her demise. The vet visits and especially the tube feedings are extremely stressful for a young boa. I don't feel that force feeding a boa that was already sickly was the best solution for the animal.

Now, it was horribly wrong of Chris to sell you boas that he knew were infested with mites. That tells me that he doesn't give a hoot about his snakes or his customers, it's just all about the money he can make. The snakes' problems are in no way caused by you feeding F/T instead of live, they are due to him being a sorry excuse for a businessman and snake keeper.

I agree with Mike, please post the emails that show your correspondence with this character. That will give you a lot of credibility here.
