MJC Serpents...

I am also not employed at This Side of Paradise Pets. I am not paid hourly, I am paid by my snakes that I sell. I get 75% commission and he gets 25%. We are partners. He even refers to us as a team and views the shop as both of ours. He had not touched a snake until four weeks ago when I brought Tallulah in to show him. He is learning while I teach him. And he now has two snakes of his own. A normal female and a KingPin male. His wife bought a Columbian Rainbow Boa I had there to sell. They caught the snake fever and have me and only me to thank for it. They had not the slightest clue what to do with snakes. I have paved them a path and made them ready to own snakes. They are always asking me questions and they have been taking my advice. They are thoroughly enjoying every second of it. I don't see the nagativity in that, but okay.

You do the math

Just because you think you know how the disease works does not mean you do. It is pretty evident from your posts here that you do not.

Sorry if I have missed it but has the name of the original breeder she received her snake that had "IBD" been disclosed? I would just like to be sure and not assume it is one Mindy has mentioned.

I honestly cannot even remember the name. And I also want to say that it was like... around two months later that they had things happen. They may have brought it home from the show, too. Or got a new animal and it happened. So at this point honestly i am not going to even associate what happened to me as it being their fault. They dont have snakes anymore last i knew. I also had not contacted them directly. They were contacted through the pet store i bought Layla from. Its a long confusing story that is hard to explain.

As far as I am concerned, you're right. I am not a vet. I haven't medically studies the disease. I know what I have been told about it. And obviously making assumptions is a bad idea because this crap happens. My mistake. And I already said I will be getting a blood test done. Idk why this is still going. Wait for the test results before making any more false claims.

Since you are telling everyone to wait, I'm assuming that you will not buy or sell anything from your collection until you have results?

So the only name you don't remember is the one that sold you a snake with "IBD" and had a lot of his collection die?

Yet you stated that when your snake died, you contacted the breeder and found out they lost a significant portion of their collection to IBD -- confirmed via peripheral inclusion bodies. That timeline doesn't make sense.

I also second Bill's comment. You remember the name of every person you bought snakes from, including a "local girl named Courtney", yet don't remember who sold you a snake that died from suspected IBD only 15 months ago?

And she contacted him again to confirm that they died but magically can't remember. *rolls eyes*

I know I'd remember the name of the person who jeopardized my entire collection.
