Everything definitley escalated from so many people stating their opinions and taking sides but it is the BOI and thats what happens. This should end tonight and the refund will be figured out and then given based from what the report says.
David feel free to speak, not saying much lol.
Now onto something that has been bothering me since Wednesday when David brought this issue up in the chat room. How long does it take for a MALE to get to eight feet and 40 lbs? How old was that "perfectly healthy" snake? ...
...Any boa experts wanna chime in on appropriate length/weight ratio that constitutes a "healthy" MALE bcc?
Yaz, just for the record, you sold me a nine year old, 8+ foot male boa constrictor that had been proven a couple of times now right? Put some thought into it before answering. Make sure that ad of yours doesnt come down either will you?
2 days? All this in a two day period? It's good to know people will champion someone they think is right, but in a two day period where the "proof" won't be in for five more days yet? Shucks, fellows, back off and let the dust settle around these two guys without trying to goad them into some needless statements or actions .....or just jump on me! Yeah thats the ticket!
Seriously, when I first saw the length of this thread and read the first page without noting the date, I figured I could read to the end and find out the conclusion.... that is 'till I noticed the dates. I don't know either dog in this fight, but it looks like the best way to let THEM END IT is to see what happens when the report comes in, not to try to trump the action up. Is this the repticzone? (Guess that one mighta' stung, but it seemed like it might have been). Signed: NOT A TROLL< just amazed at the action here!

Man oh man. Lots to address but no time to do it. Yaz, I told you this morning around 9:00 in a posting on here that I wasnt going to field any more phone calls with you without someone else present. I certainly will not be dragging any local vets into this mess as they wouldnt be getting online here getting involved with this. Enough already about why we didnt have the conference call today. I think it is pretty clear.
I really am suprised that you would call the diagnostic laboratory to try to talk to the vet. Are you kidding me? I walk in there this afternoon and could immediately tell the receptionist wasnt so happy. So you called this morning and then called AGAIN in the afternoon and used the case # I posted on here. That is exactly why I hated posting any of the details because someone would go and start making phone calls and bothering these professionals. YOU DIDNT PAY FOR THE NECROPSY!!! Why would you think they would want to be bothered by fielding your phone calls?? Really unbelievable!
Some of you (ironically all Floridians near Yaz)keep talking about receipts/paperwork and what not. So the fact that I posted the card with the case # wasnt enough huh? I made that up? I guess Yaz really knows that a necropsy WAS done on Friday now since he talked to the vet.. Still dont believe what the DVM's told me Yaz? $390

So now you're sayin you refuse to do a conferance call with the vets, despite them being the ones that diagnosed pnuemonia, still have nothing but that card, no receipts, no file? You want the $390 given to you without any proof other than the pictures and the card that says you took a snake to the lab? Who told you it was pnuemonia that killed the snake?
So with no proof yet(other than the mucus pictures) you want the $390 refund in full, despite having a necropsy report pending, and nothing at all from a vet saying that the animal had a pre-existing case of pneumonia that killed it?
Understand, in my opinion, the boa probably had the pnuemonia and died from it, and you're entitled to the full $390 refund. But I understand that the seller is entitled to some sort of proof that's what killed the snake. The fact that the seller has already stated that EVEN IF the necropsy says it was your fault rather than the pnuemonia, he'll still issue a partial refund tells me he does want to make things right. I just don't understand you reluctance to provide the proof(other than the necropsy report which isn't ready yet).

You hit the nail on the head. Yes, I feel the OP deserves a refund, but the seller requires proof as well.

Why do I get the feeling that the necropsy report is going to say different....![]()
I'm very interested to see where David is going with this.
