    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....

Retained eye caps mean that the shed over her eyes never came off. It is good that you shipped them back and they arrived relatively safe and sound.

When I shipped her the shedding was not on the eyes. There was a little near one of the eyes but as far as I could tell the eyes didn't look fogged over or anything.

I don't mean to be rude. But I got my finger nicked while trying to help her with the little bit that is left on her head. If I didn't pay attention then I wouldn't have even noticed she had shed left. It came off in one solid piece I have a picture of that. Some how there was just a tiny bit left on her head and I tried to get it off so I did pay good attention. I don't appreciate this at all. I took care of those snakes just as good as any other snake I own. Some small thing occurs that happens quite often I'm sure for many people. And I didn't even ignore it like most people. But your acting like I'm uncaring? Why would you say such a thing?

Because she has had retained eye caps for 20 days and it wasn't dealt with.

20 days!? How do you get that estimate!?
On your post over at RTB you have a picture with her shed skin in it. The date was the 26th of last month. That was if you took the picture the same day. If not it was more than 20 days. March 26-31, April 1-14, add it up! 20 days
 
Brian, how do you mark the boxes? She is saying that the box is the same size, and brand, but not the same box. If you are sure it's the same box it is just one more lie we can add to the deal.

Here is a picture of her I took after the shed. She had a little left on top of her head. I'm not saying she didn't have any left over shed at all. But very little. I tried getting it off as you can see when I took this picture the eye, or at lease the one you can see, is not covered at all by shedding. The piece is very small it doesn't even cover all of the top of her head.

I had bought some more boxes but when I got them in the mail they were the wrong size. Too small. However that wasn't the same box you shipped yours in. I had just got the large Guyana red tail the other day and kept the box outside on my porch next to the door. I didn't want my daughter ripping the foam appart or trying to climb in it herself and breaking the box to bits on the floor. Heh kids can be destructive some times.. So I set it out there. It was a good thing I kept the box I got that snake in. I'm sure it looked like yours it was the same brand. Same size and had a package slip piece from the guy that sent it to me. But it wasn't the same one you sent the balls in. Anyways I'm glad they made it alright. FedEx kept me poorly informed. As for on the tracking site they still didn't have it posted as delivered. Imagine that lol

And yeah that shed on the head didn't wanna come off all the way for some
reason, its just dangling there so its not a threat. I tried to get it off but she wouldn't let me. I even got my finger nicked a bit on her tooth when trying to get it. I'm sure she will rub it off eventually. It doesn't seem to be over her eye or nostrils. And its such a small piece.

I for one am glad you fulfilled your agreement to send the snakes back.That is a plus.
That said, it is hard to overlook the fact that you originally stated you throw away his box and only remember that it was marked as USPS priority mail box. The post above is a direct contradiction to your earlier posts on the subject.


I personally would be more concerned that my B.P.s were shipped in a box that was shipped with a unknown boa inside.

Brian, make sure you take strong precautions with your BP, the box and packaging. Just stuff you should do regardless, but I know a lot of people reuse supplies that are sent to them. I wouldn't.
I would toss the box and all packaging materials. Setup the BP enclosure far away from your collections. Hit that enclosure with PAM or something comparable.

The transaction seems complete and I'm hopeful that nothing else materializes a factor in this transaction.

A lot of good information on this thread for future buyers/traders with the principle of the the thread. Also good information for others of what to consider before entering trades of their own.

How this contradicts my post I'm not sure but oh well. I'm glad this is over with but yet he is still trying to say I'm a bad person. I suppose you cant satisfy some people no matter what you do.

I have the box you sent them in. It clearly says priority mail on the box. Last I checked Fedex wont let you send anything through them with a USPS Priority mail box.

I would take pictures of the box he shipped his snakes in but I do not have it any longer. As soon as I recieved the snakes I threw the box out.

Well that's easily explained. Just cause I said I could have swore it was a USPS priority box. Doesn't mean that it was the boxes the post office give you. But that it had priority mail stickers on it. I don't quote that as a fact either. I said "I could have swore" meaning that I wasn't sure. Unlike most the people that seem to read this thread. No one ever took that into consideration. No one seemed to care that I was unsure and said I was unsure. Everyone just seemed to focus on the fact that they thought I was lieing about what I said. When I never infact said that I was certain he sent them any such way. I never even made an issue out of it.

Some times I think its just a way to try to focus people off the important things. Like the fact that I told him I would send the snakes back or refund him what the snake's worth was as soon as I got ahold of him the day all this happened. And they seem to not want to look at the fact that despite everything that has took place Ive still did what is right. Or that I even posted pictures of the snake's condition before it was shipped showing it was in good health and that the supposed shedding over the eyes was not there. Its funny how so many things that are important are ignored and something that I never even made an issue out of is replaced in the top of the priority of what others like to focus on. Almost like you don't want to admit that I'm not bad like Ive been labled. Is it fun to set around and try to ruin people's rep? Is it fun to poke holes in everything they do? Is that what your trying to preserve? Your fun time?
 
I have the box you sent them in. It clearly says priority mail on the box. Last I checked Fedex wont let you send anything through them with a USPS Priority mail box.

Do you even know what "swore" means? It is easy to swear when the box is sitting right in front of you, and you honetsly believe what you are saying because it is right there "Clearly marked". It's even easier to lie, and make up an excuse like "I said I could have swore", when it fits your agenda.

Whatever. What is done is done. The issue is resolved. Any further posting here does not concern me. You cant please everyone in life. Along the way you are bound to run into people such as this. And despite everything Ive done it doesn't matter. I thought things were resolved. As far as I'm concerned they are. You people can set here on your internet, posting your sly little comments that you find funny for whatever reason you see fit. Weither it is just to have something to do. Or if its cause you feel a lack of control in your own life you have to try to control others. But if you could take a little time off the high horse and realize your not a judge or jury but just a bunch of people with too much time on your hands, then maybe you could actually do something productive with your time. Like, oh say get a life? I'm done here, I have other things to do. Have fun talking to yourself cause I'm no longer going to subject myself to this stupidity.

She payed about as much attention to them as the guy who sent me this snake and never noticed the belly because he is somewhat color blind. :shrug01:
Enough Stephanie. Retained eyecaps ARE NOT hard to see and should be removed immediately if there is one! :angry:
