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 just use vinegar and soap to clean the bins. I am not saying that it's over heat from ship. I am just saying what I know which is that the snake is not doing well and it is within 30 days and I am not happy with it. He's got to take it back and just keep her as a pet. It happens.

Unless you leave written permission, the vet hospital will not speak to anyone about one of their clients.

Perfect example of why a lot of sellers don't offer much of a health guarantee beyond live arrival. There's no telling what someone is going to do with a snake once it leaves your hands and most people would have no problem hanging the seller out to dry.
Since when has it been acceptable practice to place water into a snake's mouth to hydrate them? Any keeper beyond rank newbie knows the tube they breathe through is in the mouth. Who's to say your intervention didn't cause the snake to aspirate water? It doesn't take much when you have one lung.
Sounds more like a case of buyer's mistake, although with your current terms you've left yourself wide open for this, Rob. Lesson learned the hard way. Hopefully the snake recovers.

Ditch that cleaning method and order Either cholorohexidine or F10. Both are safe around reptiles and can be used to wipe the animals down.
As for the statement it happens, No it dont, this isnt common to see enough to say it happens. I can count on one hand how many times ive see a snake in this manner!

It sounds like buyers remorse and maybe he needs the money elsewhere?
I havent viewed the videos but I wonder what you originally paid for the snake?

Thomas, could you answer Rob's question? After the below quote, he actually asked a fourth time with no answer.

Hot water or steam is the best. That stuff is just going to make the bacteria stronger in the end. That F10 is over priced it's basically only effective on staph. The most common type of bacteria found in reptile is psuedomonus. I just like hot water. I used to use a steamer but was too much of a hassle.

If it was ibd it would be dead. I have bred spider to spider morphs, and have had no ill effects. I kept quite a few back, and they do fine. Forcing water into a snake is an absolutely awful idea. I'm suprised no one thought of the idea of accidentally pushing water to the lungs. A snake closes quite a few airways off while drinking. Forcing water into it's mouth could have led to it going into these airways. As for feeding, I have seen many animals go off feed for short periods of time. Especially when they're handled or stressed extensively. I don't mean to sound offensive, but your actions could easily cause that. Also, from the 22nd is not going off feed.
As for Rob's tos.. Unfortunately, you kind of hurt yourself by being so broad. I've done favors for people with animals that didn't eat, or other special circumstances, but way too much can happen in a month.
Once you bring it to the vet, you will likely know much more, but I have a feeling they'll see how it moves being a spider, and suggest to euthanize it because they have no experience with the gene.

I did not run to force feed water and i did not really force feed it water. The first thing i did when I suspected it could be dehydrated was put some moist paper towels in it's hide and just leave it for a little bit. I made sure that water didn't go into it's windpipe. I used a very small piece of airline tubing to do that. After I gave it a few drops. It urinated and passed a urate as well. So I think it needed it.
I think the vet will say the same thing and also I will tell him what I did I will be honest with him he is a decent guy been to him a few times. It's not a smart idea, but the snake was already messed up when i decided to try it. What i'm thinking happened was the wobble got bad and it couldn't drink and it just got worse.
