    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi everybody,

I'm getting a bit worried and I would like to hear what you guys think.

A year ago I bought a Tessera, pair of Coral Ghost, Miami Motley and a Avalanche from Florian, everything went fine even though he forgot to ship the package so I waited a whole day for nothing. But that's ok, they arrived. Ate fine and are still growing strong.

I spend € 4000,00 Euro's on some snakes with Florian, I bought:
1.1 Butter Sunkissed
1.1 Ghost Lavender Sunkissed
1.1 Fluorescent Orange
1.1 Lavender Sunkissed
1.0 Hypo Ashy
0.2 Hypo poss. het. Ashy
1.0 Caramel Sunkissed
0.1 Amber Sunkissed

I got the box and he actually added about 8 snakes that only eat live food.
One of them was so skinny I'm pretty sure it'll die in a few days and never ate at all.
Anyway since I didn't pay for these animals I'm not allowed to question them.

I did not receive the Lavender Sunkissed male, I asked about it and he said he would be away for 4 days to his friends wedding. Anyway that's now more then a week ago and after several emails to him and pm's on the cornsnakes forum I still have no reply.
Also the "Hypo Ashy" doesn't look like a Hypo Ashy at all, black checkers, and just looks like a normal Ashy on any hatchling picture I could find. Also the 2 female Hypo het. Ashy look just like normals, also with black checkers.
I asked him about it and he persists they are all hypo's.

Now almost a week after the package has arrived. The Sunkissed female and the Fluo female both haven't eaten yet and are getting thin FAST. Both were really tiny when they got here. My scale wasn't even able to measure their weight! And a lot of babies have regurgitated.
I'm not sure what to do here, am I panicking for nothing and just nagging? Or do I have a good point.
I can make pictures of the hatchlings per request, this is not any attempt to bad mouth Florian. He's been really nice but now he's MIA when I'm having questions about his babies. And that get's me worried.
 
Hello,
Posting any pictures & any communication with him through emails ect & maybe the ads in which you contacted him about the said animals would be great especially if this thread would end up turning into a bad guy thread =). Anything you have will help as it is proof that most rely on here when it comes to advice. Also you should make him aware of this post =).

I hope everything works out for you & that you are able to get them to eat. If things don't work out & he doesn't contact you back or something happens to the snakes if the proper proof is there that you contacted him in a reasonable amount of time & he has ignored you then you may have a case =).

As I said I hope it doesn't turn out that this is the way things will go & that it works out but just in case I would makesure to have your ducks in a row =).

Takecare & keep us updated =).

Sincerely,
Ashly McShaw
