I completely and totally know how you feel...from the same experience. I just very recently had a somewhat similar situation with snakes I received Thursday AND feel the same way you do. I'm tempted to just give-up sometimes. Other times I tell myself...NO MORE buys from those I don't know unless it's at a herp show where I can physically examine the animal. I just don't know anymore. I hate it when even those with good standing in the herp community make mistakes or mess things up....if even only once...it just not acceptable when dealing with living animals that depend on us to always do the proper thing, whether its providing proper care or shipping properly. It just shouldn't happen with all that's available to us today with husbandry equipment, shipping supplies, and the past knowledge of those who have made mistakes for us to learn from. Fortunately I *will be* refunded soon. Hopefully you will have things taken care of as well. I wish I could say, look on the bright side...but I'm in just as sour a mood as you are. lol
