Bob that sucks..
Our experience buying interstate without seeing the animals first has made us extremly wary.
Purchased a 'pair' of carpets, when we recieved them they were full of mites and worms.. At the same time we got a pair of beardies.. the male died.
Attempted contact with seller for months to no avail..
waitied over a year to ensure the pythons were healthy before thinking about breeding, had their sexes confirmed to find they were both males
even worse was this person was a member here.. (may still be) and i think that because people are members here it tends to give them a bit of credibility to buyers..
Another point is that when people get a dud deal and sick animals they are hesitant to name the seller, sadly the next buyer is then unaware as to the sellers history.
On the flip side.. i purchased many animals from interstate but now i do my homework and ask around about the seller before comitting myself and have since had some fantastic experiences.
