Well, it all depends on the breeder and the way you handle the situation. I know if anyone has problems with my snakes (and I see no reason/poor care) I will refund if the animal is sent back to me (dead or alive). So if at all possible freeze snake(call and ask breeder what he wants)?? I breed reptiles for a hobby and currently work retail for my real job, and the way you ask for help is very IMPORTANT!!

Like they said above make sure you have a list of answers to all the common questions. Hope things work out!!

Most breeders will offer a garuntee, and most people are very nice as long as you don't go pointing fingers. Personally I garuntee my animals I personally breed for 7 days after purchase, and will usually buy back animals if any problems/ unwanted problems occur there after.

One thing that does bother me about what you discribed is the snake ate 4 times in first month?? Seems a little much? Most babies don't shed til about 10-20 days after birth, and I don't recommend feeding until a few days after that. So maybe 1 or 2 feedings in the first month, then 1 feeding a week. Maybe I misunderstood that but anyways...good luck, and always buy from people you have researched!!

Let us know what happens!!
