I sent Bruce Eiseman an email today asking him why the Gaboons are regurging, well at least 2 out of three are. His reply was that he should not even help me. Due to the fact that I have been " bad mouthing him" Then he said that they were too hot, which they are not. I said I could fix the heat problem, but how could I add 2' to the female that was supposed to be 4'. He has not replied as of right now. Or to the issue of the hole in the snake bag he sent my purple female back in. Or to the fact that he never admitted to having a female till he got some bad publicity. Or to the fact that no one there seems to know how to tell the difference between a male and a female. Well I know this is a boring subject to a lot of people. But some how it helps me to deal with that idiot. Here is a copy of the email.
Bad-mouth you? You were the one that called me a dirt bag, remember? You are the one who sent my $4,000 snake back in a bag with a hole in it. She was loose in the box. I heard that snakes you have shipped have been loose in the box before. Number one, after I got the gaboons, it took me five days for anyone to disclose to me which one was the female (not the only gender issue we've had). Number two, I was supposed to get a large, 4' female and two males. In your last e-mail, you said you weren't sure which was the female since it had been so long. I am not bad-mouthing you. I am telling people what happened. It was a good two days before you even shipped the gaboons after already receiving the wrong retic. I've asked you some questions since I got $500 worth of gaboons in trade for a $2,000 retic. So, if you want me to bad-mouth you, I am entirely capable.
As far as my shipping the wrong snake goes, I admitted and corrected the mistake as soon as I became aware of it. Further, when I have posted about this transaction, I have admitted the mistake prior to discussing any difficulties we may have had. So, I have done what I needed to correct the situation on my end. My wife's e-mails to you asked you if there was anything else we needed to do. We have done everything we could or should to correct what was, as I have repeatedly admitted, my mistake. The question is, what do you need to do? Most of the breeders I've worked with are ethical, take pride in their work, are helpful, and have integrity. Our reputations are essential to being successful in this business.
I understand that they may regurge when they get too hot. Thank you for responding. I just hope that the female is not the small, 2' gaboon. It will be hard for me to believe that they were "already trying to copulate" in January if that turns out to be the female. I'll find out for sure next week. Again, thank you for responding.

Subject: Re: Re:
Id help you out but, you seem to want to badmouth me all over for your mistake, if they are regurging, they are too hot.
Did you look also for Digital Reptiles, Eisenmann, Danners, and HCE?
