Bad Guy Incompetent bad guy Jamiean Ruffin

[NKhan]

I purchased an Argentine boa from JROOTS right here on fauna. His ad claimed it was eating mice and rats. When I received the snake it was malnourished and could barely hold itself up. I meassaged Jamiean and said why is she in this condition. He said that she’s fine she eats a pinkie mouse every week. So an Argentine boa born 7/18 eats a pinkie a week. I asked him for half the money back because there is no way she would make another shipping. He said no. He asked me to feed her a few times and send her back I said if I have to nurse her she is not going back. Finally I sent him a message asking for a refund but I believe he blocked my number. I sent him a few messages on fauna and got no reply. Buyers beware of this clown. I have pics and videos I just can upload them. Oh the snake died less than 12 hr after I got her.

That is absolutely sickening; I'm so sorry you had to deal with this!

How did you make payment? If via PayPal, you should initiate a claim today.

I am. I called them yesterday but they were short staffed because of weather and the wait was an hour.

 

[Ed Clark]

What day was it shipped to you? and from what state?

 

[NKhan]

This past Tuesday 22 delivery on Wednesday 23. From Cincinnati To Battle Creek Michigan. Box temps were perfect. He asked for the box temps so I sent a pic

 

[Ed Clark]

Probably a combination of a sick boa and low temps killed that boa.IMHO you should be refunded in full.not a good idea shipping anything live in the coldest month of the year,especially in the north. it's just too risky.

I just remembered that Metro Airport was shut down Tuesday evening, due to ice on the runways. I'm surprised that you got the package with no delays, and good temps.

Of course, that's irrelevant; the guy sent you a nearly-dead animal, which is inexcusable.

 

[NKhan]

They delivered an hour late. 1130 instead of 1030. But you’re right it’s irrelevant

Wait until the BOI is gone .... this crap will happen even more. These type dealers will be running rampant.

 

[NKhan]

Btw he claims to have a litter of Bolivians on the way and is thinking of selling a pair of carpets. So buyer beware.

One pinkie mice weekly @ 6 months old is not enough to sustained life. Snake room conditions and eating habits must be in sync! Hope the little guy makes it.

Good luck with the seller.

 

[NKhan]

She died less within 12 hrs of receiving her

Naim you can initiate a claim online, no need to call.

 

[NKhan]

Lucille I’m looking into that now.

 

[NKhan]

He is also not responding to messages or texts

Holler if you need help

 

[NKhan]

Thanks I will do.

 

[Insomniac101]

Naim, just curious if she had what appears to be some sort of lumps/bulges on her side. Sometimes it's hard to tell from a photo.

Where I'm headed with this, is possible symptoms of cryptosporidium, and contamination spreading to other animals in your collection, if any.

 

[NKhan]

Yes she did I sent pics of it to him he said it was from shipping
