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.

You aren't required to post emails, but it definitley helps your case. Do you have any? What about a run down of the transaction, pictures of the snake, vet reports? And you should to inform him of this thread so he can come and explain his side as well.

I've never heard of that.   WHAT are "good" bugs on snakes???
Is that even POSSIBLE?
Sounds like a bad person to do business with.

Vasaline shouldnt be put on a reptile at all. It's actually going to make the snake prone to injury by softening his scales, causing them to flake. I would get that off
Of him ASAP. Oil based products shouldn't be used on reptiles on a large basis in general. Just a tip so that you dont have more issues.
Any pictures? Vet report, emails of transaction? Try and go through a rundown of the transaction or anything you have on it.

I've heard of folks using Hypoaspis mite in cages. They are a predator mite that eats other mites. But they live in the substrate and not on the snake from what I understand. Meanwhile. Why was this snake even sold with mites at all? I am doubtful that was disclosed. Was it??
