Since Kris didn't deny any of my claims in the process of saying there was nothing wrong with any of it & and that he didn't care; there doesn't seem to be much reason to post these pictures...but doing so now means I can just delete the files here, so up they go.
- the box (approx 17.25 17.25 x 10)
- the "heat packs", in box
- same heat packs on bill
- snake on scale

Those are not heat packs there hand warmers.You are lucky the snake made it cause they are useless after a few hours .Hope all is well with the snake and no res. problems . Good luck Harald hope it works out. But I doubt you will see the refund you are owed.

i ment he is lucky you havent asked for a refund in full...i do personally think you are entitled to a partial refund to reflect the actual size of the snake AND refund for the shipping costs since Kris did not provide you with tracking information that would have made your situation easier to follow up with. I would be LIVID if someone shipped something out to me and didnt provide me with the tracking information

Amazing Kris! You shafted Harald and seem to not care.
You used worthless hand warmers in a huge box to send a snake to NY in November. What the hell were you thinking? It's COLD in the East Coast in Winter. No heads up with a tracking number and sending a snake 20% smaller than advertised? You are lucky Harald saw the box or that snake would have frozen and died sitting outside. With all the the issues, I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be a male as well.
You owe Harald a partial refund on this snake.

Well Kris, your own ad states she is about 700 grams. Not about 500 grams which is what she really weighs. I wonder if the weight on the scale in the photo is an empty weight too?

I'm quite sure it is - she's actually a bit on the thin side. I figured I would offer her a meal today, which she refused...and while looking at her, I noticed some pink along her spine & sides. Thought it might just be the lighting, so I took her out for a better look under white fluorescents - much less noticeable, but definitely some pink marbling. I've never paid much attention to pieds, but I don't think that is normal. Checked her belly, basically clear - two very small spots, that, had they been a different color would have caused concern.
The bad news is that, when I examined her mouth, she has a definite red streak going up one side, between the two rows of upper teeth, and I removed a small amount of caseous matter from the front portion of that row (both sides) and the choana (sp?). That, in combination with the streaking I saw leads me to suspect sepsis/septicemia. Thankfully, she's totally isolated from everything else, but I really didn't want to deal with this crap.
Luckily for Kris, he really doesn't care what I think of him, because it's pretty darned negative at the moment.

Unfortunately - no pictures of this...I couldn't get the marbling/streaking to show up, and I couldn't keep her mouth open and work the camera by myself. She got pretty riled when I cleaned her mouth, though, which I view as a "good" sign.

**Oh, I did say she, but I haven't confirmed the gender because I forgot to bring home some KY for the probe. At this point, I'm rather disinclined to probe her...at least until I am comfortable that she doesn't have a systemic issue.

Oh man! I am sorry Harald!

If it is indeed this, you may end up losing the animal.
The streaking means it's throughout the body and will most likely die.
This sucks to hear. This guy screwed you big time.
