I wasn't sure where to post this. If this is not appropriate please move.
I am having a problem with someone who bought quite a few of my babies.
He bought 10 snakes total.
2 Albinos
4 Het Albinos
4 DH sunglows
One DH was deformed, which he said would be a pet, I told him I was suprised it was still alive, and that I didn't know how long it would last.
His total price was dirt cheap.
He texted me a couple hours after he left our house and asked if he picked up all ten, because he was missing a DH, I was not home so my wife combed the house and looked for one of their containers, then she counted ours, and we did not have any extra. He never got back to me about what happened with that, I told him to look in his car that he picked them up in. He also put multiple in one tupperware.
Anyway, as I said he never got back to me about it.
Then 6 days after the purchase, he asked me I was sure they all ate because one of the DH wouldn't eat, and that he tried to feed it and then found it dead a few hours later.
I asked him a few questions about his environment. I kept their rack at 90, which provided a gradient since my racks heat front to back. He stated that they were in a room which was heated to 82.
I asked him about feeding and he stated that he fed F/T fuzzy just like I told him to, and that all the others ate fine, and he also found the deformed one dead.
Then he was unclear about whether he tried live with the DH after it wouldn't eat, he wants to text rather than talk, and honestly after some of the text he sent it was probably best, because I wasn't in the best temperment at the moment.
So he lost one DH and the deformed DH.
I mentioned about the way he was keeping them, and that I checked ours and none of my snakes have died since a couple days after birth, including ones that have gone to other people.
I slept and thought on it over night. I decided, you know what, I am going to replace the DH that passed, but not the deformed since he knew that I didn't expect it to live and I gave it to him for free.
I texted him this morning, and asked him if those were the only problems he was having with any of the snakes. He said yes, that the others were all fine and they were eating well.
I asked if he still had the body since it was less than 24 hours later. He said he got rid of it since it was dead. So I asked if he took pics, and he said he didn't take any pics because he didn't think he needed too.
Now I have never run into this problem, and I have always thought it was known that if you want a replacement snake because one died, you need to hold on to the body. I mean how do I know he didn't just lie and say that it died?
I would love all of your input.
Thanks,
Nathan
