CJHerps

if your talking about chris jones from alabama i would stay away from him i purchased what was supposed to be a female chondro from him in dec. the animal arrived in tip top shape but was a male when i made him aware of this he said to ship it back and he would give me a full refund so i did needless to say i never recieved a refund or a replacement he flat out told me he spent my money and tough needless to say i reported him to his local athorities and the post office post master general i have not heard squat since if your cj herps is the same cj herps i dealt with in alabama steer clear

ok....i'll list the good and bad from this deal, now that its complete....



the good...

spectacular looking snake
great deal
fast shipping, and shipped when he said it would
nice communication


the bad...

well...the packing was "suspect"...no air holes in the box, though he included a "cool pack" and snake was well bagged...

overall, would i buy from him again? probably, though id specify delta dash and a bit better packing...overall im quite satisfied.

Curious what type of box he used? If it was a standard "reptile" insulated box with the panels that line the inside of the box rather than a medical type insulated box which is air tight I don't see an issue with no holes. I never put holes as those boxes are not air tight and the additional holes would defeat the purpose of insulation. From your description sounds like he shipped by industry standards.

standard box with styro inside...it wasnt a big concern, just thought id mention it...the snake was a bit "sluggish" at first, but that was likely due to the cool pack...

like i mentioned, overall im quite happy, and recommend him !

Andy,

Are you and John talking about the same person/company?

Thanks.

...evidently not...this Chris is from Arizona (fedex tracking # verifies that it originated in Arizona)...

...nice guy, great snake (adult female house snake....now ive gotta find a male!), quick shipping (it was in my hands a couple days after i paypal'd him)....good transaction....
