Beware of Island Reptiles

I just want to voice a complaint against Island Reptiles in Florida. They advertised a w/c female cornsnake for sale on Kingsnake.com. Originally the snake was about 60.00 plus shipping, as time went on and noone was interested in the animal the price eventually came down to $35 shipped. I immediately paid for the animal via USPS Money order as requested and was promised shipping for the next 2-3 weeks. This was around the time of the quadruple hurricanes in Florida, so granted, there could have been some legitimate delays in shipping. Because I paid so promptly and waited so long for shipping Island Reptiles in Florida offered to send me both the w/c female cornsnake and an additional snake, a taiwan beauty snake. When finally shipped, all that was sent to me was the Taiwan Beauty snake (which I really wasn't all that interested in). The gentleman emailing me promised that he would get me taken care of and send me a breeding size corn (like the one I originally paid for). I have emailed him a few times since and not received a reply, thus this post. It's just a, uh, observation but I noticed that this guy does not accept paypal and I have to wonder why? Perhaps Paypal has his acct. locked up because of past deals gone bad? Okay I've said my $35.00 worth. I also posted this on Kingsnake.com in the Corns classified sect. and have gotten back about 8 replies from people with similarly bad experiences. All I have to say is I don't recommend doing business with this company.
