You are one of the lucky ones. I PERSONALLY know MANY people who bought Doc snakes which died. There were too many for it to be blamed on the buyers, like he tried to do. No one would post for fear of being slaughtered for accusing a well-known breeder of selling sick snakes. Rich had to make a NEW RULE on the BOI because of the treatment Josh Hardy got. If you make a false accusation, or a true accusation you can't back up, the BOI sharks would butcher you. Once Josh came forward, many others who had received dying snakes got brave enough to talk about it. Doc couldn't threaten and silence them all. You know what SUCKS??? New people, buying their first baby, who'd be dazzled by the cheap prices on fancy morphs, would buy, not knowing about BOI, or a few knowing and not believing. Then their snake would die. Then they'd be accused of not caring for their snake properly, when all along it was doomed from the start. They'd ask me, "why is he allowed to advertise here? Why aren't we protected?" Why do you think he locks his threads? It's because that way, people who express interest can't be seen, and advised to do research. And the BOI thread doesn't even have half the affected people participating. Lots of people were still too scared, or scared of being ostracized by the community. He claims to have cleaned up his act. Time will tell. Who wants to put a collection worth thousands of dollars, with priceless breeders and offspring, at risk to prove it?
