Take your complaint to trading standards they will deal with it get you a refund and/or take them to court on your behalf and work towards putting her out of business/online or at the shop.

The snake lasted 5 days after it arrived, she went to the vet the day after she arrived and was started with antibiotic injections. I hate needle and I definately dont like giving injections but we tried our best. I did have her frozen but due to a prob with the freezer it defrosted, along with all the F/T in there so she was buried in the garden.( I have never smelled anything so foul as this snake when it was defrosted).

All I can do now is try and let people know what an outfit they are, I have posted on all the forums I'm a member of to make sure people don't make the mistake I made. If I had heard one bad thing about them I would not have used the twas.

I know they are losing business because of this so roll on, I even told them what I was going to do on the forums..... still no reply.

Hope no-one has to go through this, thanks from PRINCESS RIP and me for your support, your all great pet owners.

You can't autopsy an animal which has been frozen. It turns the cells to mush. For future reference they need to be refrigerated and got to the vet soon as.



Sorry to see this it must have been really upsetting for you

r.i.p princess

I feel like websites like this on the whole are wrong, I mean you can buy dangerous animals e.g. scorpions, trap-door spiders etc cheap and how do they know whos buying them... some dumb teenager could get hold of one to scare and/or hurt someone, at least in pet shops you know who your selling things to and advice can be offered

Thats my take on the whole thing
