    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Prior to shipping I posted my vid and pics I sent to him......that snake wasn’t sick,showed no signs of being ill what so ever......so again.....Iam not giving a refund.....I told him to send me the snake back ASAP and he said no......as far as Iam concerned he could’ve killed the Boa purposely.

A snake doesn't get that bad over a period of 24 hours. You're just being petty and completely unprofessional. The snake died, now you're accusing the OP of purposely killing a snake all so you can keep some money. How disgusting are you?
 
Mandi Gordon....who the fuck are you???....You don’t know me at all
 
Looking at the pics and video the seller sent and provided, that snake was in no shape to sell or ship. The skin folds are obvious

Go on bro post the video of her. Prove it she was healthy. Dude just refund my money. The snake was sick and malnourished. I’d like to think you just didn’t know any better.

Yes you are absolutely right I said I wasn’t going to send her back because she would not survive. She didn’t survive in an established environment you think she would have made the return alive? Then what blame me right? That’s shady. Just send me my refund. You said give her three feedings well she didn’t even get one so quit being a ignorant person and refund my money.

It’s an undelivereable email. And the one used for PayPal. Sounds like he is aware for his message before he blocked my number again

Yes, and he needs to fix it in his account here, otherwise his account will be blocked VERY shortly. He has received the private message I sent him notifying him of the email problem.

Jamiean there are people on here with more experience that’s you an I saying that snake was in poor condition prior to shipping. I should have paid more attention to that video I would have seen it’s condition, but was blinded by the though of getting an 2018 Argentine instead of 2019. No one agrees that snake was healthy to begin with. Just refund my money and call it over. She didn’t even last 12 hrs.
 
I think the pictures show animal starvation which amounts in my opinion to abuse. For shame, Jamiean. To sell such an animal and then to dance around avoiding giving a refund.

I know you by how you are conducting business, and I've dealt with some snakes that refuse to eat and it takes a pretty long time for a snake to get that thin. It doesn't happen over night, and the way you conduct yourself on this BOI, shows that you are definitely not a person I would ever deal with.
 
Seller is totally in the wrong here. If you don't know enough to avoid starving a snake to death, you should not be selling snakes. I feed pinkies to baby corns.....tiny little snakes. Pinkies for this size boa is ridiculous.

And instead of listening to a forum of experienced people who could maybe help educate him, the seller argues and curses at anyone who disagrees. Definitely someone to be avoided.
 
I don't get this at all I'd like to think someone can't possibly be ignorant enough to think this could happen overnight or that someone could intentionally do that to a snake to try and get a refund it's literally impossible. Very odd you didn't want to just refund the $100 he asked for as well he was willing to risk taking the loss and knew he would likely lose the snake.
 
Sellers issues aside... how about working on some proper quarantine procedures? Why is that snake in the same room as your racks? You have no idea what was wrong with that snake or any other snake you purchase and you have them that close to the rest of your collection? Why?
 
Disgracefull abuse of an Argentine Boa!
They are actually VERY easy to breed and raise as they usually have excellent feeding response, including your fingers if you are not quick enough... lol, do not ask how I know!
The seller should be thoroughly ashamed of being responsible for the death of what should have been a magnificent animal!

I should have some baby Argies later this year and would be happy to sell you one from somebody who knows what they are doing and cares for the animals deeply if you are still interested at that time .

People have seen all that they need to. It's really clear that you have no idea what you're doing and can't conduct yourself in a professional manner. Nobody wants to know you beyond that. Just another turd that needs to be flushed.
 
After everything that has been said this arrogant person still refuses to make it right.

Buyer beware Jamie Ruffin JROOTS is not a person to do business with.
