Daniel Parker of Sunshine Serpents

I recently bought a corn snake motley from Daniel. It went well at first, he was very quick to answer any questions I had. That is until I received the snake. I emailed him several times on her feeding habits and got no reply. I became more and more stressed as she regurgitated both of her meals. Unfortunately she passed away last night. I am extremely frustrating. I am beyond out raged at this point. Do no buy from Daniel!!!

UPDATE: I did get a reply from Daniel. Everything has been worked out fortunately. I will admit most of the problem I've had was my own anger and general distress, hence creating a bit (or a lot) of bias. I do thank him for his help and everything.

~anger, sadness, and frustration create an ugly thing

I purchased a pair of locality speckled kingsnakes from Daniel last December. At the time he was advertising females only, but in the course of our discussion he told me that he had a male but that he was not yet feeding on his own. Since I wanted a locality-matched pair he offered me the non-feeding male at a significant discount if I was willing to do the work and assume the risk involved.

The pair arrived healthy and full of piss and vinegar, just as baby speckleds should be. I was able to get the male feeding without any real trouble and the pair have absolutely thrived. I have since had the pleasure of meeting Daniel at a show and have more snakes on the way pending good shipping weather.

The snakes I purchased from him are still doing great a few months later. I plan on purchasing from him again.

To follow up on my previous post, my second order of snakes from Daniel shipped out on Monday, and thanks to FedEx were stuck at the Memphis hub and did not arrive until today. During the delay Daniel kept in daily contact with both FedEx and myself and was very apologetic and professional. The snakes were packed well and arrived alive despite the long delay. They are hydrating now and I don't expect to have any trouble with them, but I have no doubt Daniel would make it right if they had not arrived safely.
