Help with Breeder

baio44 Sep 13, 2006 11:20 PM

About two weeks ago I bought a 3 month old GTP from a breeder near me. After three days of having it, it rectal prolapsed on me twice. Fortunately as a vet student I have access to a great clinic. They ran a fecal and the snake is infested with coccidia, which i am treating it for. I love this snake, but I do not want to keep a non-health animal after such a large investment. The breeder is allowing me to return it for a full refund.
Are the problems I had common and harmless, or should I take the opprtunity to give him back and seek out a healthier breeder?

Thanks,
Baio

I would bring it back since hes willing to take it. You shouldnt have to deal with all that within 3 days if he is saying its a healthy snake. If he's saying he produced it and then sold it to you he either lied about that and sold you an import or hes doing something VERY wrong with his snakes. 3 month old Cbb snakes dont just get infested with coccidia for no reason.

Take it back and find a nice healthy one.
