oh, ok i may be wrong ....i tried the link and i just get an error page.
is the breeder giving you a new one free of charge?

no this is a different breeder. I was sold an already malnutritious snake. The dealer I bought the one from that died knew she was sick and still sold her to me. I don't want another snake from him. I ordered my new snake from BALLPYTHON.com. try this link she's 4th from the top. little normal female.

That's really horrible what happened

I'm very sorry for your loss. Good luck with your new baby, though!

well, i understand why you dont want another from the same breeder, but maybe you could get refund or at least partial refund. Did they tell you flat out that they knew it was sick? or was that b4 you bought it and you agreed.

that new one you are getting looks awesome...i ddint know that site existed

Dan and Colette have a very good reputation. You oughta read a lot of that site. The next time I get down to where I bought the sick one from I'm going by there to tell him what happened and tell him that I know she was sick. I only payed 30 dollars for her. He already knew she was sick, he just didn't say. They wanted to sell us a pair for 50 bux. He wanted to get rid of them.

So sorry to hear about your girl. I was worried when you mentioned how small she was

You won't be disappointed with your next girl. The Sutherlands are amongst the best breeders to get a BP from

Just be sure to keep your temps higher than what they were... 80-90 works well. Another word of advice, I would contact the person that sold you the sick snake ASAP, its not something you want to wait on

Good luck with your new little one! :thumbsup:

Thanks Linds for your condolences and all the help you've given me. We've got everything disinfected and ready for the new arrival. We've been toying with the uth and lamp and such to get right temps and humidity. We are prepared that time. We have also made an attempt to get in touch with the person that took us to that dealer/breeder so we can contact him. If I had known she was sick I might have been able to save her with the right information from the right people. But I did my best and I know the snake that I'm getting from the Sutherlands will be tip top.

Mango, sorry to hear about this. It sucks to loose an animal, regardless of the cause.

What part of Alabama are you in? I am in Alabama as well. (The Shoals).
