I wasnt going to comment on this, but Pat is giving me a headache.
1st off, Pat, you say it isnt your fault the shipper left it on the porch and that he should of been looking out of the window for the package to arrive,, Oh but it is your fault... Pat you should of required a signature so the shipper would of rang the doorbell at least,, or if he did and didnt get an answer he would of been required to leave a notice that it was at the office so Billy could of went and picked it up. That not only assures that he got the snake but would also give you insurance that he received the snakes.
Also it was only outside for thirty minutes. I dont think thirty minutes is what caused them to die. You asked him to ship back the bodies and you would replace them, he did that. Now your claiming what he sent you was sick, you didnt claim that when he first sent them to you though, because you said you let them adjust first,, well, looking them over for any illness doesn't really cause them anymore stress then what the shipping has already done, and your ignorant in my opinion if you are going to just put them away without checking them when they first arrive.
I think maybe they arrived healthy and became sick in your care.. and this is just another stall.. You say you arent posting excuses as to why you havent sent it yet, Ohh but you are,, !!!
In the words of Billy Madison,,
"Talky, Talky, Talky,, too much talky,"
You said were going to replace the snake, you are liable to replace it,, you need to shut up and do it already.. If this was a reverse situation and Billy was doing this to you I bet you would be as upset as he is.
