yup that happened with the snake i bought. i was notified ahead of time that it was pet quality and the reason was the temperature fluxuation during incubation. my boyfriend loves his new pet so all is good and they treated me amazingly and answered any question i had. i do not have any issue buying from them in the future. josh@outbackreptiles is definantly a good guy and very helpful.
