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.

All rivalries aside, I think the real question is, should someone be liable for a parasitic infection 10 months later? The answer is no.
No matter how you spin it, that problem is YOUR fault.

Guys, she's NOT blaming anyone or asking for anything.
It's just a headsup for anyone else who got something from mr. clark. If hers were misrepresented, someone elses may have been as well.
Try reading the whole thing before you over react.

if someone contacted me about geckos i sent them being parasite ridden, regardless of the time frame i would immediately have all of my geckos tested. i would certainly want to know if i had parasites that i didn't know about in my collection. if i found parasites i would refund the person who contacted me for any vet costs and the cost of the gecko(s) they got from me. coccidia is extremely serious, and not something to be taken lightly by any means.
the other females i received from ed have vet appointments on thursday. i suspect that they have parasites as well, but of course i can't be 100% sure until i get the results of the fecal. the reason i suspect it is because all are great eaters, yet none have gained any substantial amount of weight since i received them, which is common in snakes with tapeworms. these are 2005 females that eat every week on the dot, yet only weigh 400-550 grams. obviously something is not right when all of my other snakes are gaining weight and thriving as normal, healthy snakes do.

i dont think that is the case. The parasites could have been there from the start, and just did not get to be too much until now.
The question is, if these animals are CB, there should not be any parasites in them at all right? the fact that there is now, and possibly was when she received them is what should be the focus of this thread.

What type species of tapeworm and strongyloides did the vet conclude? Some species of tapeworm have a life cycle of 6-8 weeks and other take 6-7 months. Strongyloides species can live from 400 days to longer. Coccidia is also capable of living for long periods of time without any symptoms showing in the reptile, but can become severe under stress by the reptile.

I agree Wes, if she was sold captive BORN when she paid for captive BRED, then she has a legitimate gripe.
I'm curious to see what the emails contain regarding that matter.

it is my fault if i was sent snakes that were ridden with parasites?
i just want people to be aware of the situation so that they can take appropriate action with their animals.

Wes, she's not precisely blaming, she's doing the "passive aggressive" routine. Who me?

I disagree.
She has flat out stated she wants nothing but to make others aware that she got animals that should have NONE of these problems from mr. clark.
Sounds like a pretty good guy to me, just looking out for her fellow hobbiest and taking responsibility for her own animals, their expense for treatment and care, on her own.

No, but it is your fault you didn't have them checked when you got them, or at least sooner than this.
