Please don’t go down the path of claiming that I have glossed over anything as people who know me, also know that I never operate that way.
So please explain how I have glossed over anything?
I have since asked Luke about your condition claims and according to Luke the reptiles looked (externally) perfectly fine when he sent them, e.g. no retained eye scale and no neck kink that was ever noticed by him and his reptiles always had water and he does not believe for a second he had sent dehydrated reptiles.
Luke also went on to say that the kid himself said he could not notice one but the vet said it apparently had one?
Since you supposedly have further details (as evident), why don’t you enlighten us further?
Did you actually see and examine the three pythons when they arrived? Or are you going by what has been told to you?
Have you seen the exact wording on this vets report for yourself?
If you have, please tell us the wording.
As far as the inexperience of the kid, I directly refer the meaning of this in the way he handled the situation by defamation without due process and his clear lack of understanding of the diagnosis of the virus, simple as that really.
Furthermore it doesn’t matter who the vet or how respected he might be, (but thanks for letting me know) if he can’t prove 100% that there was OPMV it doesn’t provide anything more valid than if his grandmother wrote it. Without seeing the exact wording of his report myself, I can only guess but I highly doubt he is brave enough to claim or write that it was OPMV conclusive.
It is far more likely that he may have wrote symptoms consistent with OPMV which of cause does not mean it has been confirmed.
I can’t wait to see.

I do not know the exact amount of hatchlings he lost through excess heat, but it wasn’t very many out of the four clutches and I did warn him that there could possibly be further deaths and this has proven true with two Stimsons you being one of them.
Luke in this case has learnt a hard lesson and let’s sincerely hope there isn’t a more major one about to be learnt.

Luke is doing a family thing this weekend and I am sure he will comment in due course.

I spoke to Luke when my stimson died. Was i concerned about the way and how quickly it died after delivery? Yes i was, we both were. Did i say it was OPMV? Absolutely not.
Where exactly is this thread going?
And what was the purpose to it being created & publicly exposed?
I don't agree that this matter should ever have been made public on a forum.
If we jump to that conclusion every time a snake dies we're going to assume OPMV, and it will be assumed to be in just about every collection everywhere. We're also going to miss any other agents causing snakes to die.
The other stimson i have from the same delivery is doing fine with no problems whatsoever. If one had OPMV then surely this one would have shown the same symptoms at the same time or close to. It just hasn't happened. I say this because they were in the same bag tied about 200mm apart. There blows the OPMV theory.
