A question

If you sell a gravid snake and part of the deal is a pr of the offspring when it is born at what point should you expect to recieve your pr of babies.

depends on species but id say about 4 weeks as a general rule after hatching/birth

Don't be suprised when this gets deleted. You have to have a name in the heading.

Delete it if you want I just wanted some expert opinions.

Why 4 weeks.What does 4 weeks have to do with it.Lets say you wait 4 weeks and the person lets them all die but 1 pr and you agreed on a pr when born then you should still get the pr as that was the deal Right

OMG man..........depends on species, i was just saying in general...dam

should wait for them to shed out a couple of times and make sure they r eating......sooooo 4 wks is usually a good indicator if they r eating and have shed........what, u want a whole technical manual on every species??!!

Forget that I was just tying to be helpful to u............wont do it again!

No you were very helpful .I recently got into this situation and have herd nothing.I would of been happy to feed them myself get them started.I was just wanting to know what other people thought.I do not know if any has died.The way I would do it is as soon as they were born I would say come get your babies unless you requested I feed them.That is how every one I know does it .I have good experience in this species and simmular species and would have no problem feeding them.I know how to get them started.When they were born I wanted them then.I was told to wait until they got them feeding not my choice at all.They were haveing trouble getting them started and I consulted them now I hear nothing at all.Truth is I feel like I should of had the choice as it was me who put all the work in and cycled them and bred them and was forced to sell them 5 months in to the preg.I would of never sold them with out the word of the buyer to give me babies period.It was the strongest point in the deal for me .

Hey Archie,

Apparently those details of the transaction were not discussed prior to any shipping right. What I would suggest is to let them know that you will take the pr as-is and now. Tell them you would prefer to get them started versus having them do it. Although, this might be too late from the way it sounds. But, for next time, you will know more of what to hammer out before the deal is finalized. Make sense?

So i get left negative karma for trying to b helpful and then saying that I wont try doin that again??!!
