Bad Guy Boamaster A.K.A. Mark Venhorst

[Loganator]

Well i just refreshed my paypal a few times and still no money.... And today i just found out that the pinstripe female with the bite marks seems to be having RI issues. Since the Pinstripe is my friends and not mine we just shipped together i didnt know and he just noticed it last night since he hasnt messed with her much. So mark if you could reply to my emails or texts we can discuss this in private or we can just talk about it all here.

I ordered 5 ball pythons from Boamaster, three females and two females, two of the females he said were 1400 and 1600 grams, they came to me at 869g and 1036g, .

And I honestly weighed and put the weights
On each one myself

Alexander, please weigh your snakes and take a picture of them on the scales. You haven't done that, and it would help support your claim.

I'd text to keep a record of the actions taken. This way there's no he said crap.
Good luck

So this is my friends snake, what we thought were bite marks turns out to be scabs/scars from old scale rot and bacterial infections. She has mouth rot, an URI, and hasnt eaten in a long time, her spine sticks out and last night while my friend was checking her out she "pooped" everywhere. it was a liquid and little bits of urates were there. She has maybe a few weeks even with a vet visit. My friend is going to contact Mark personally but told me to update the thread with his progress since he does not have internet nor a smart phone right now. My dealings with mark and done and him and myself have figured out the unshipped snake deal.

And you can see the black marks next to her spurs, which we think is from stuck/bad sheds but we honestly do not know.

That snake looks terrible. I am floored someone would have the guts to ship her out to a customer looking like that. Terrible looking animal.

No wonder he's trying to move his ball pythons.

I've ordered cages from him before, and had planned to again, but not after seeing that snake. I'll spend the extra money and get my 4x2 caging elsewhere.

I've always just thought he's a decent guy with bad customer service (like he's bad on the computer or something), but there is no excuse for the condition of that animal.

 

[Sauzo]

That snake also looks like it has a stuck eye cap as well but that is the least of that poor guys' problem

 

[don_ecker]

Have you confirmed RI? I am asking because I have just recently purchased several ball pythons from Mark as well. All of mine seem to be in perfect health. But one can never be to safe.

 

[Loganator]

Not comfirmed by a vet, but two personal friends who are very experienced in the reptile world both say RI, which i trust their word over most vets in this area. And my snakes i received from mark appear to be in good health

You can pretty much see in the picture that it has an RI, based on the saliva. Really sick snake.

The picture clearly shows an RI, the dried mucus around the mouth and saliva.
