Christmas Boa Updates -

[Flint]

Guys, just an update, the snake(s) arrived yesterday at my friends house with no heat tape in the box. It also wasn't the snake that was ordered, it was two Colombians, labeled male and female. The breeder has dropped off of the face of the planet, the site was taken down a few days ago, the emails are all gone, and they delivered to the billing address rather than shipping. He got some hand warmers and left them in the box in the deli cups and is just replacing the warmers as they grow cold. They will be coming to me on Tuesday.

My friend has ordered 3ft of 12" flexwatt and the cord on reptilebasics that is said to be here today on the tracking info. I also purchased two 34qt bins and two 57.5oz heavy duty plastic dog bowls for water. I may go get a couple more to put holes in and use as hides (they are pretty good sized) as well as a couple of the 20.6oz version for a smaller, tighter hide.

This whole process has been hell and I am now kicking myself for NOT telling you all the breeders name because I wanted to put up a BOI post to warn everyone and I can't remember their name or website. I'm very fortunate I got live animals and my friend still has a bank account because whoever this was hacked our emails to remove messages unless messages just disappear when a recipient email is deleted.

Moral of the story, guys - RESEARCH YOUR BREEDERS BEFORE YOU BUY.
