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.

| General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

That's a good point. I wonder how old he really is.
He had said he only feeds f/t (and that is what I fed this boa) but it sure doesn't look like that. It looks like he threw a live rat in with the snake.

It's actually more than one wound. I circled the damaged areas of this snakes neck. Those wounds are from a live feeding gone horribly wrong.

yes, very similar to the damage done to one of my boas back in the 90s when she coiled the rat, it was chomping on her neck as she was constricting. It wasn't as bad as that, but similar marks and more than one.

Finally he admits I did not send it to him like that.
But he still insists it was not caused by a rat and still no vet visit planned.

Heaven forbid someone take an animal to a vet. I know, I'll go ask on the forum and hope I get sound medical advice.  I always wonder if they let their human children suffer when they're sick, too.
Could have been caused trying to get out of an enclosure with an ill-fitting door/lid. Or who knows. At least he's no longer hinting around that it was shipped like that, and you've got screenshots for if he does try it again.

I think it is a bite wound. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck.......
I think Moo is right, too. He put up the pic and he can't lay it on you Steve; all of a sudden he hears his post is getting around and of course he is going to deny poor husbandry.
Maybe the Easter Bunny did it.

Now he has some room mate posting on the thread at KS saying he never made it sound like it arrived that way and the people on the forum are no help.
GET THE SNAKE TO A VET!
My vet is an hour each way and I work a lot but I still make sure I get to the vet if I need to.
Man I regret this sale. That poor snake.

This must be heart breaking spj. I honestly think finding something like this out must be the biggest drag to breeding.
