It's awful to read all of these stories! D': my heart goes out to all of you.

when i moved up to denton and had my heart set on getting a gtp, i called all around the Dallas/ Fort Worth area and about two hours later i found a shop who insisted i drive an hour out to see the snake.

when i got there i made the mistake of pronouncing a locale wrong, and the owner was hesitant on me buying him. i had to go back two more times before he trusted me enough to buy him. that night i did my usual inspection on him (since he was wild caught) and found mites. i called my guy the next day, he couldn't stop apologizing and insisted on me not taking him to a vet but bringing him in and letting their vet treat him free of charge. my baby unfortunately lost the mite battle a week later, and when i told the owner what had happened he was practically in tears over the phone, for causing me that stress and losing one of his snakes. he then put me in contact w. an importer in aru and gave me the name of a local breeder, who would both be willing to not ask for any money just a good safe home for their snake. long story short, hank is healthy as ever and i have a great relationship w. the shop owner.

all of their animals are either bred by the employees' are from local shelters, or the facilities they get their animals from have personally been inspected by the owner. the amount of work they put in and knowledge they all have is really incredible and comforting. it makes up for the gas money i spend on the drive over there.


sorry this story is so long :/
