i was going to point that out but its very clear haha he went into a big story how a few died in transit on his terms lol

His Legalese is such BS, IF he directly or even indirectly lead to harm of one of the snakes he's selling he needs to accept responsibility for it. He simply doesn't want to be able to be held accountable for his actions.

Tommy, I'm sorry that you had to deal with this

After inquiring about two ball pythons Jeff had for sale and how they were listed well below market value, my conscience said to come here. After reading this I was hesitant to buy his snakes. When I emailed him and said I was no longer interested in the pair, never mentioned the BOI review, he blocked my email! LMAO. Is this guy for real? I think he's spending too much time in his rodent room without proper ventilation.

Glad you bumped this cause I was looking at some of his stuff and thought.... too good a deal?? Hit the BOI....

Sad to hear this. I have dealt with him on one occasion which was last year. I purchased what was supposed to have been a proven 100% het clown female from him last year. I offered him a lower than advertised price and he agreed. After receiving her, she was in good condition, alert and healthy. I saw this post sometime later and started doubting that she would even prove out. Well I bred her to my visual clown male and got a clutch of 7 healthy, fertile eggs. They hatched yesterday and I'm happy to say, I got 5 visual clowns out of 7 eggs. Sorry things went the way they went for you, but I really can't complain.

I also had an incredible experience with Jeff and if you search the BOI for his name so have others. I wish Jeff would address these charges, it is a bummer to see him lose business over a single incident.

There is an old saying that it only takes one "Aww shucks" to undo ten "Atta boys." Basically, it is how a seller (or buyer) handles the deals that go poorly that determines their character. Anyone can be great to work with when a transaction goes smoothly.

It's not a single incident. There's a few different people who posted in this thread.

I had an issue with the animal he sent me that had nothing to do with him and was still helpful and generous.
