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.

She said if you read that she doesnt wanna drive 30 min because this is the ONLY snake she has. Then if you continue to read says she will not be purchasing anymore for at least six months for the safety of her other snakes. Just need to read all inserts specifically oct. 24th and nov. 2nd. All I was asking is did she tell him this just to deter him or to try and avoid the credit situation, but of course someone has to go and think there was any blame being pushed on anybody. You read way to far into a simple question. At no point did I say 'It your fault' in anyway at all.

Thats the problem with internet. You can never decifer a person attitude or demeanor. Anyways the question was directed at the op so it doesnt concern anyone else to begin with. No worries. I hold no ill will towards anybody. Not worth my time. Lifes to short to worry about what others think or say about you. Have a great thanksgiving to all!

I'm not going to get into who was right or wrong here.
But you were offered credit for the sick animal, and you refused that. Usually when I'm going to buy something, I ask beforehand what kind of guarantees the seller offers and what they can do for me if it does turn out that something is wrong on their end. It seems you waited to find out until you had a problem, and then you didn't like what you heard.
Sometimes the guarantee is awesome (full refunds, apologies, etc) and sometimes it's simply "you look at it, see for yourself it's in a condition good enough to want to buy it, and it's yours." I always find out BEFORE I make a purchase though, so that I'm not surprised when I find out the company's terms and conditions once I already have a problem that needs to be resolved. I've bought animals from both small time breeders and big wholesalers, and both have their own pros and cons, and I accept that when I buy an animal from a wholesaler there is slightly more risk than buying from a breeder who has bred and raised every one of his animals.
I'm sorry your snake was sick but you really should have asked about the terms before you bought the animal so that there would be no problem now.

Right there is the whole problem. All these big suppliers and flippers, and breeders just want you to take another one off the rack. If you gave me a piece of TRASH like the one the OP got, there is no way in Hell I'd take another animal. Not to mention, the seller is also accountable for all the vet bills associated with the animal they PAWNED off. Lets NOT forget that the WHOLESALER in question, also breeds an in this case was dealing with an individual on a single animal purchase. Just shows how sucky there CS is. they are used to blaming death,disease and junk on trashy imports and the "acceptable lose" on wholesale.
ps. english teacher. "freekin" is a play on words instead of the f-bomb. thanks for the sc leason.

I don't believe the point of the thread was to complain about the seller's retail return/exchange policies. I believe the point was that the seller SELLS SICK ANIMALS and once the sale is made, has no remorse for doing so. That snake had far more serious problems than stuck eyecaps...let's not lose sight of that fact, please.

Its ashame this is happening so often lately. I've resorted to only dealing with close friends and zoo stock. Can't hardly trust anybody anymore.

I was wondering why the op lied to him about that too. I think the seller is at fault 100% but I found that odd. Just asking a question doesn't mean you're attacking anyone. I hope the op gets a refund but I wouldn't count on it.
