well i'm not happy my diamond python hasn't arrived yet

[spottedpython]

pointless trying to explain no matter what i do its always my fault i've tryed everything to feed my spotted people aren't happy unless i stick a mouse down her mouth and cause this stupid breeder sends my python the wrong way its my fault did i send the snake no i didn't so tell me how is it my fault when i didn't send it i'm sick of people saying it i mos well just sell them so i don't have people saying its my fault god i surpose its my fault the breeder dicided to send it that why no its not

Ease up spotted, you made a mistake in trusting this person, no big deal, everyone is allowed to make mistakes, EVERYONE! Just learn from it and never accept shipping like that again. Whats wrong with your spotted, not eating? pm me?

[Fuscus]

Its a lesson, bet you will be a bit more careful in the future. Maybe I'm less trusting than you or perhaps I take shipping a bit more seriously but I always ensure the shipping details are worked out prior to me sending money.
I do hope the python does arrive OK though.

[Bryony]

its cool spotted i nearly made the same mistake but then i checked it out on the forum and luck i did cause i would of been in the same spot you are.
i realy hope she is ok

cheer up spotty

[dobermanmick]

Spotted IMO i dont think its your fault
I think its the breeders fault as they should be aware of the legalitys of shipping and after all you are the one paying for shipping not them ! also with newbies how are they supposed to know whats allowed and whats not unless they ask i only found out from asking about the express post when i was looking to buy my darwins but i felt very uneasy when told about aussie post express as you see how bad they are with normal mail (no offence Greebs )

Hi sp,
dont fret too much until the post arrives, they can go weeks in a bag.
its unlikely it will die, it will be dehydrated and looking for some heat when she arrives.
think positive and stop stressing so much, it is beyond your control at this stage just prepare for the arrival so the snake is immediately put in a tank it can be left alone for a week or so. hides heat and water.

any new herper take note, do not send live animals through the post system. Ncherps was being tactful compared to what a lot of experienced herps were thinking, don't let that put you off. Understand that and learn from the experience. Flying them isnt foolproof and things can go wrong there too, freighting of snakes shouldnt be taken lightly.

SHE KNOWS its illegal i told her and she said ' i know but its cheaper'

[SnakeWrangler]

I think an appropriate complaint should be made to Australia Post and if your willing to share your "real details" then name her in the complaint section of this forum to prevent any further dealings with her.

I would also inform NPWS of her practices, she doesn't deserve to own reptiles.

[Bryony]

she said 'i haven't had a complaint yet because its cheeper and none have died'

[NoOne]

If the snake is packed correctly i don't know what you are worried about.
As Ad said they can survive for weeks in a bag without any lasting side effects.
Not everywhere is on express post routes and if you are not then it will probably get there the tommorrow.
I know people that express post between Sydney and Melbourne without any problems, it less hassel than going to the airport.

This sort of thing is just pointless you have been saying how great this breeder is for the last week or so, in several threads and when the slightest thing goes wrong this poor breeder is the worst herper in the world. Give them a break, it's not all his fault and it's not all your fault.

I would back that the breeder organised everything and did the best they could for you.

[spottedpython]

well i rang her she said its still in transport i hope i get her tommorrow she said she will find out where she is tommorrow as well she said she will ring me after lunch and i said if she shows up before lunch i will give you a call and let you know. noOne i don't mean anything by the breeder i'm just worried about my python she seems like a good person she even said to me if she turns up dead i could have my money back or recieve another snake and she will send it to me a different way

[Bryony]

I'm still getting my diamond off her.
she is a good herper and is trying to be convinient for her buyers (even though it is illegal) it is cheeper and more convinient for the buyers thats why i was considering it but when i found out it is illegal i backed out about the express post
Her diamonds are brilliently coloured and her and her dad have been herping for years

[instar]

Then i think she should have sent it another way to begin with. If she is that blase about it turning up dead, she loses some credibility (to me anyway) most breeders would surely prefer there animals turned up in the best possible condition. Anyway as for "cheaper" its your money, not hers. your choice.

[spottedpython]

i'm just a bit axcius to see her and the breeder is possitive she will turn up alive and i am going to try and stay possitive as much as possible i just can't wait to see her

[Slateman]

All should be OK spotted. I had snake delivered by aust. post once.
