I bought a 1200 gram albino Ball from Paul. It was picked up by a mutual friend, that is a reputable breeder, at a reptile show. The next week I pick up the ball and it's open mouth breathing. I call Paul and he says he'll send me Baytril. Shipping was delayed by a day or two and when I finally get the package, the syringe needles are so small, they bend when trying to stick the snake. I've given shots to snakes, and tortoises in the past, so I'm not new to this. I call Paul and he says keep trying, if need be, he has more Baytril to send me. I try for the next 3 days and every needle bends. The snake is getting worse. So I make an appointment to see my exotic vet. He gives the snake her first shot and said to repeat one shot every 3 days. On the third day, I wake up, prepare the shot and go into the QT rack and the snake is dead.
I call Paul immediately, tell him the snake died. Now he starts telling me that the snake was no sick when he gave it to my friend. If that's the case, then why would he quickly agree to ship the Baytril to me after my first phone call to him free of charge? He never questioned the snake being sick, he was more than happy to send the Baytril.
He repeatedly said the snake was well when he sent it to me. I told him it was open mouth breathing when I got it. It was blowing bubbles within 2 days of getting it home.
I asked for my money back and he agreed to send me 50% of my money. But as of yet, has not sent my money. He said he had to sell a few snakes because he has no money. However I've seen where he's buying snakes here on Fauna, so I know he's got the money. He's not answering his phone, not returning emails.
If he said he would send me a refund, he should honor that and send me my money.
