Of course when anything dies it is a bad thing. I can't help but to feel relief in a way because I thought this was going to be very drawn out, and at least that wasn't the case. This was the one which expelled that gross chunky milky white stuff daily. I would bet my collection that these snakes were doing this in the hands of the previous owner who sold them to me yet they had the old "reduced price" on the ad so he could pawn them off and make a buck before they died on him. I knew a vet trip would've been too little too late, I would've wasted a lot more money. The other of the 2 seemed to be in better shape than the one that passed away last night. Let's hope this one pulls through. Of course I also have to worry about the 3 Floridana I got form this guy, especially since only 1 ate so far. Do yourself a favor and check out the post on the Board of Inquiry, I use the same screen name. Nokturnel Tom The more we make an example of jerks like this guy the less chances there are for people spending thier money on sick animals. I would never intentionally buy wild caught animals, I haven't since the 70s when I was a kid. There is no need too with the massive amount of captive born animals available. This is one of those guys that is still out there catching stuff himself and trading with other scammers like him. I hope the saying comes to pass......what comes around goes around, because this guy deserves.........well use your imagination. Tom

i SURE AM SORRY, tOM. I was sure they'd pull through.
I will check this guy off as a real slimeball. I will also feel free to bandy his name about in my circle of herp friends as a man of low ethics and morals.
Once again, your snake and you have my sypmathies.

Hello Tom,
I was very saddened to have read of your experiences and recent loss. Those of us who love and care for our animal companions have enough challenges without the added burden and heartache of something like this happening to us. I am also sharing this story with my friends who keep herps. I hope your other snake pulls through and the best of luck to you.
Kindest regards,
Scott
