Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I agree pics are needed, this is a case where he was talking with you within 1 day of arrival. Personally I would not have shipped a "wrinkly" in shed snake. hold it back. Also I don't know many healthy boas that look real wrinkly when in shed. Yeah alittle loose skin but not wrinkly. Dehydration or poor health would lead me to think why the snake was way "wrinkly". It's your biz and all, but the way to do it right is to have good customer service and healthy snakes. I would never ship a snake in shed, underfed or looked unhealthy and I would have worked something out with the buyer. How many feeds did this snake have in it? have many sheds? how old before sent?

I'd have to say that looks like dehydration and not shed. I've never had one of my boas suddenly have they're skin become that loose just because they were going to shed, if anything they plump up more and I start seeing loose pockets of the shed about to come off separate from the skin itself.

WOW that poor little snake. I am not sure it is the same snake, trying to identify cross bands and just don't have enough pic info, however that is one dehydrated snake with lots of body weight loss.. OMG i would be embarrassed to even ship this snake. Maybe it's just me......
s
Soak that guy every night for 1/2 hour or so and make sure cage temp and humidity is correct.

If we could see another picture or two of the snake stretched out, it may be possible to try to compare the bands and be sure it's the same snake. Couldn't hurt to try.
