You were right; there is no need for you to apologize for anything. You are the one that is owed an apology.

Glad it will be taken care of.

Shawn,

it was mixup and you don't owe me any apology. Have a good night sleep and just update the tread when your refund post.

Thank you,

Correct, he doesn't owe me a apologize. I've always had great respect for the BOI and yes you are right The BOI did it job!

I dont mean to be rude but since the OP has wanted a Pied for "15 years" would he rather have a replacement or does he want a refund? Or is your TOS specify a refund not a replacement?

Not sure what the OP's thought processing is, but based on the size of that deli cup that the first snake came in, not sure I'd want to try the shipping again if I were in this situation.

I guess its personal preference. The seller has admitted his mistake and in my book that speaks volumes to me. if it were me I'd rather a replacement over a refund. Of course its the OP and seller that would have to work out the deal but I didnt see any mention of a replacement being offer so I thought I'd throw the idea out there.

Well, it did get a bit ugly with the implications being made that the OP was trying to pull the old switcheroo and get a free live pied and his money back in exchange for a dead pied. Apparently the decision has been made so sometimes it's better to just walk away and try your luck elsewhere. But, hopefully the refund is issued and everyone can part at least somewhat amicably. At this point we're just

and your also right about that deli cup...way to small.

first off, i am very glad for both parties that this situation is being resolved.

just putting in my $00.02.. i don't normally post on forums or BOI threads in which i have no experiance with the breeder in question, so please dont tear me a new one for this..

but, never in my day, nor in my future of shipping ball pythons would i EVER ship a ball python in a deli cup. so my question to fauna is this: was this shipping practice a factor in the DOA? in my honest opinion, i would say yes.

IMO deli cups are ok if they are large enough but they should have some paper towels inside to absorb any mess. I'm not expert but I would say the small size of that deli cup could have contributed to its death. I noticed the seller said he put a heat pack in, I'm wondering if it was the correct type or if a heat pack was needed since most of the US has been experiencing way above arverage temps. I also think shipping a snake that you recently feed and feel could regurgitate is bad practice. All this combined could have easily done the snake in.
