Need Some Advice

These are not hypo plasmas? (sorry I was too upset over how they were shipped that I wasn't paying attention). Bird's Reptiles.
 
The breeder advertised them as hypo lavender bloodreds which after looking the genetic combo up, I thought they would be Hypo Plasma's was I wrong?
 
No your not wrong hypo bloodred lavender is a hypo plasmas. But snakes that are bloodreds dont usually have belly checkers so in my opinion those are not hypo plasmas. Did the breeder say they were from Florida? I checked the tracking number too and it came from Virginia.
 
in all honesty I don't remember exactly where I got that from, I re-read the messages and he did not specifically say his destination. I found the FaceBook page that could be where I got it from (although that could be a whole different breeder with the same name).

That is not good news at all with out the diffused gene, they are useless for my breeding plans.
 
Im really sorry that some breeders out there are shady. Not all of us, are a large number of us here on cs are honest. Its always a good idea to check the BOI on fauna classifieds before making a purchase.
 
I am so sorry. As Kevin said you are right hypo lavender bloods are hypo plasmas but they are not that. They could be hypo lavenders het blood though. :shrugs: Again I am so sorry for the stress that this person has caused. I do hope you are comfortable posting this video's in a BOI so that others don't have to go through what you did.
 
That's the thing, I checked the BOI and it had one positive entry for him. I just checked their head patterns as well and they lack the head markings as well.
 
I will for sure, this is just horrible I hope he will take them back and I can get a refund. Otherwise I am stuck with them and have to do something with them :(
 
Here is the message I wrote him,
"There is a bigger problem, after letting them settle, I checked them out more and noticed that both have checkered belly which is not a feature for a hypo bloodred lavender. Furthermore, the head pattern does not match, the head pattern is the head pattern for hypo lavenders. I do not believe these to be hypo bloodred lavenders like advertised. They are hypo lavenders. I have had others check them as well and they agree that they are not Hypo Bloodred Lavenders. I would like to return them and get a refund."
 
Sad thing is that since he sent them the way he did, he does not care about them at all. Sending them back will probably mean death to them.

I never thought of that, this just makes things more complicated. I really don't know what to do. As pretty as they are, I don't want them, but at the same time sending them to their death......
 
This is what I think you should do....
start a BOI thread.
Post EVERYTHING you have said here.
Post the video.
Link to this thread if you want to.

The people there will advise you, and no one wants these snakes dead.
 
I will do that right now, I was going to to do it tonight, but I best do it now. I don't want them to die...
 
This is absolutely APPALLING. You NEED TO post a BOI thread. They shouldn't have been sent two days. They are packed completely inadequately. Is Birds Reptiles a complete moron, or does he just not care?

I wouldn't even WANT replacement snakes from such a crappy seller. I'd post the videos, let them speak for themselves, ask for a refund, because you have basically been sent dead snakes (and have you notified the seller- he probably has a time limit, if there even is a live delivery guarantee) and then pray the poor little babies make it. You can always rehome them if they don't fit into your plans.
 
Agreed I don't want replacements at all, I do not trust the seller. He is going to call me tomorrow, if he doesn't I will call him. I am thinking of him refunding partial money, off of the shipping and the fact that I got charged for hypo plasmas (and anything else I can get). I don't think he would give me a full refund with out getting the snakes back. Here is a link to the BOI I left http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1551336#post1551336
 
How horrible, I hope those two little ones make it. :( I can't believe anyone involved in live animal shipping would even think that two day shipping WITH NO INSULATION is in ANY way okay. Either one of those by itself can be a death sentence, much less both! The seller clearly doesn't give a rat's behind about these poor babies. I'll follow the BOI thread as well. Good luck and I hope you get your refund!
