Ok anyone bought from them? The "owner" is Tony Andrews and said his step son is John Eisenmann at pet pros which I guess is a long standing company? I looked up pet pros at the address in NC and it's a dog grooming/pet grooming facility. But I looked up John E in the residentials and there was no listing in NC. If anyone has bought from them say so please. Thanks |

7033.html Posted At 02:25:21 08/09/2001 Yes, I have had a heartbreaking experience with Gila Hill Farms. I bought 1.3 het of albino ball pythons from "them." I'm not sure who "them," is because the guy I talked to on the phone said his name was Rick. in subsequent emails, he said his partner was Tony Andrews. Then he said his friend was John Eisenmann. Then he said John was his step-son. Who knows? Anyhow, the snakes were the wrong sex, 2.2 instead of 1.3, which Rick blamed on Tony who is really the same person, maybe? The baby snakes also had a bad respiratory infection and would not eat. This was also Tony's fault according to Rick. Rick sent me two replacement snakes, since the first one died only a few days after I got them. They were also sick. I took them to my vet, but they were so small and sick that every last one of them died within FIVE days of receiving them. I had spent my entire savings on these snakes, as they were what I had wanted for a couple of years. I lost $1415 not counting the vet bills on these guys. I sent Rick (or Tony or John or whoever) an email ASAP about these problems, and POOF! Tony, Rick and John were gone. I have sent numerous emails to them and have never heard a word back from them. I understand that these types of things can happen when dealing with animals, even when you have the best intentions. What troubles me is that "they," never offered to make things right when all six of the snakes died within five days. All I have left is $1415 worth of frozen snakes in my freezer. Sorry, guys, no good recommedation from me. We all work hard for our money, and don't want to be cheated out of it! We don't need your kind in our business/hobby. You get two thumbs DOWN:-( |
