Re: New member, new pet

The seller xyz reptiles won’t give me my money back , they said they would replace the snake if I cover the shipping charge. This is frustrating cause I’m actually terrified to try this again . I was so paranoid I would wake up 2am then 4am then 5am to make sure the temps were correct . When I got his meal I used an cooler . And if the pinkie somehow semi wet I would throw it away.

I'd just do it. Cheaper than a full replacement anywhere else.

I'm so sorry for your loss and this unfortunate experience. I personally would not do business with xyz. I've never heard a single good review about them.

If it were me, I'd take my time and find a reputable breeder. It will be well worth it.

Keep your chin up. You did nothing wrong. This animal was definitely ill before it came to you. Temps being a bit off definitely wouldn't cause the snake to pass. Snakes are much more resilient than many give them credit for. And Kings are some of the hardiest and most forgiving. So don't beat yourself up, it wasn't your fault.

The only thing I'll offer moving forward is to follow strict quarantine moving forward. I honestly don't know enough about lizards, but if your snake was sharing a room with your beardie I would monitor the beardie very closely too.

+1...well put. It can be rewarding finding the right snake for you.
