I purchased a hatchling female Dumeril's Boa from him, I believe it was in 2006. He had them at a really good price and lives about 2 hours from me, so I contacted him. I picked her up in person, and still kick myself for not checking her over better than I did. At the time she looked good externally so I took her. On the way home I noticed she was making a raspy sound when she breathed (no snot bubbles or open mouth) When I picked her up we met at a gas station next to a highway, so maybe that's why I didn't pick up on the noise she made. When I got home I emailed him to let him know that I thought she had a URI. He told me that she seemed fine that morning, and to up the temps in her enclosure a bit and it would go away. I called our vet on Monday to have her looked at. She was supposed to go in the next morning, but wound up dying that night. I emailed him that day, and again a week later to let him know that she had died, and never heard back. I should have pushed the issue harder, but at the time I just chalked it up to lesson learned.
