Yes but look at the name of the thread. We are talking about snakes not dogs and cats.
So, your point being?
Yes it would suck if that happened to me but i would think it was my right to make sure the python i had bought was healthy and not ridden with mites and worms.
and you would get that with a vet check.
It isnt the sellers responsibility though to vet check there own animal. If the seller thinks the animal he/she is selling is in good health, but the buyer does not believe or trust them, then why would the buyer want to buy from a untrustworthy seller. Lesson here is to buy from someone you trust, though even they can sell sick animals sometimes aswell

How is it not the sellers resonsibility to provide an animal fit for sale? This seller has been told by horsesrule that the snake she purchsed was worm infested and thus died. Would that not make the seller obliged to check all other snakes coming for that supplier or from that clutch or that came into contact with the infected snake? The seller in question clearly did none of this and supplied a second worm infested snake AND supplied another to mis_gmh that was fatally infested. This seller is doing it to him/her self i believe it was his/her duty to give the refund that horsesrule asked for after losing her python. It was clearly a product, whether he/she knew it or not at the time, that was not fit for sale and therefor it was within Horsesrule's rights to be refunded. So explain why thi seller should not be given a bad name?? He/She has had multiple chances to redeem themselves by supplying a refund and/or checking the rest of the animals for sale and they did neither and your defending them!Yes but look at the name of the thread.

There certainly are some great sellers out there but to someone who is knew to this hobby or dosen't have access to the internet or dosen't interect with any other herpers how do they learn who is reputable or not? As far as trusting someone goes the seller in question as mentioned sells not only state wide but nation wide and someone knew to the hobby would most certainly think that someone as large as such would be trustworthy.

i got a life and its a good one worming a reptile is not a one off event it takes weeks and soon as you feed them with a fresh killed mouse there get them again and frozen isnt always possible and what is wrong with buying a snake that isnt feeding as long as you know how to get them to feed its all good cheers
Nothing is wrong with selling a non feeding snake if it's advertised as such. If parasite free frozen mice/rats can't be be readily available then that person needs to consider decreasing the collection, or in this case the number passing through the outlet. As far as worming goes such a lare dealer you would believe would have a quarentine procedure to preven collection ruining diseases such as OMPV being passed from animal to animal. This quarentine process should last long enough to have the animals wormed and parasite free.
