Like many of you I also went to the Daytona show and picked up a few snakes for my collection. I saw a very nice Hypo Tangerine Honduran at Allen's Captive-Bred Reptiles table. I spoke with Allen about his snakes for a bit and decided to go ahead and buy the snake. (This was on Sunday)
We put the container the snake was in; in my GF's bag to help keep it secure and stable. I'm not sure what happened (if it was on my end or before the snake got to the show) but Tuesday I got home and found the snake dead.
I wrote Allen to inform him of what happened and he told me he doesn't usually refund but if I was going to the Tampa show he would let me pick another snake for the same price. I told him I wasn't going. I thought that would be that. I couldn't prove if the snake had issues before or after I got him and totally understood if he said sorry there wasn't anything he could do. (Standing in his shoes)
He wrote back saying a check was in the mail. (Of course I had to verify the snake was one I got from him)
WOW!
I hate to start a "Business/relationship" off l ike this but you got class and I thank you.
