Male ETB dying :(

[Artemis]

Well, im not sure if snakes can get colds. Linds? Boidkeeper? Yodas? A snake cold in my mind IS a respitory infection. Am I wrong in thinking that gurus?

And Dist, we all try to keep an open mind here, but if the snake didnt make it, and had a pre-exisiting condition that Tony (I am assuing he is the guy who sent the snakes back to you after he found them unsatisfactory) and Shadow both found to be ill, you acknowledge they both told you this, but you call it a cold.. I dont know about all that.... the vet may have said the word "cold" to you, using laymans terms, but if it was treated with Baytril, then it was definitely ill with something not good, whatever you want to call it.

I, and probably no one else, wants to get in the middle of how you two resolve this, but I will say that as the seller, dist, if you want to maintain a good reputation sometimes it means having to cut your losses. The snake just wasnt healthy. Shouldn't sell unhealthy animals, cold, respitory infection, whatever. Even if it was shipped in proper temperatures, the stress of shipping would easily be enough to tip the scales in a bad way for an already unwell snake. Sucks, lesson learned for both of you, and I hope you can resolve it.
