I had to go by what they told me for a reasonable amount of time, Lori, or I would have been stuck with the whole "you did not do things how I told you" thing. I was watching my back. I gave it some time, while still expressing my concerns, and convinced them finally to refund. The advice here was solid. I know that. But the animal was obviously not quite right so I did exactly what they said...lesson learned...I will not buy another GTP until I find a reputable breeder with a truly established animal. I'm sure I am not the 1st person to give into an impulse buy at an expo, especially when given the credentials of their degrees and experience with the animals. Just apparently they didn't have much actual "breeding" experience...

I can give you a few reccomendations.

That would be great

we will wait a bit, get a full running setup going for a good amount of time to make SURE everything is perfect...all the gauges, probes, everything tells me things were spot on this time, but confidence wanes when things don't go right...ya know? Really disappointed...was so looking forward to watching "him" grow and change....I WILL be reusing his name, though...we loved that name...Lol

That was sarcasm.

But was the sarcasm necessary?

Yet another" breeder" to avoid...
