TexHiss Jimmy Horton - Poor Animal Condition, Bad Shipping Practices

The seller offered all of her money back.

So is this snake way underfed or "Starved". I know its not thin but it is very very very undersized to be a 2013.

Hold a grudge, much? I agree the boa in the ad you linked is underfed, but that has nothing to do with this thread, and frankly it's just petty to bring it up.

Its the same thing! Petty?

In return for the boa (which is standard, I'm not arguing that). The buyer didn't want to risk the boa dying from being shipped a second time in such a bad condition. This put them in a tough spot of either risking further harm to the boa or letting the seller profit from the unhealthy snake, and they've chosen the latter option in the boa's best interests.

The argument isn't the sellers return policy at this point, it's the fact that he let the boa's condition get so bad to begin with. It never should have left his hands looking like that.

By the way, I did not read your thread about another underfed boa yet, and my post is not a comparison between the two situations - it's just a response to your post quoted above.

Fauna sure is a safe spot to go to buy all of your reptiles with all of these PERFECT people whom NEVER make mistakes!!! (drenched in sarcasm)

This really has ZERO relevance to this thread whatsoever so please stay on topic
If THAT thread still holds some importance to you then that is where you should be posting dont you think?

I have stated that I agree with this a couple of times but it was shipped out...

AND

The seller said he would do the right thing and give her money back.

You guys are crucifying him over a mistake. Making him to be a scum bag piece of crap. Cmon children.

There was only one perfect being and he no longer walks among us.

How does it not have relevance. This is an "underfed" snake and so it that one.

"underfed"="underfed"

I think this site is a place where people love critters, particularly reptiles. Seeing one underfed to that extent by a seller who should be keeping his stock healthy and fed appropriately is a shock, and I think a response is warranted. A refund is a good start but it doesn't wipe out the cause.
NOT commenting might send the message that this was merely a lapse in a business deal (many don't see it that way) and allow a seller to proceed with business as usual.

Quite an over exaggeration. Just because a few people (which are not the same ones in this thread) posted, in that thread, does not make everyone, in this thread, individuals who defended the seller in that thread.

NOT the same thing. The boa, in that thread, does not look even close to being as deflated, & malnourished, as the baby of this thread

You may agree that the baby Boa, in this thread, is not in optimal condition but, apparently, it was not a simple "mistake" when the breeder/seller, himself, stated that there is nothing wrong with this baby Boa.
