Thanx! I'm gonna really watch out for stuff like this in the future.
He was supposed to ship them about 2 months or so ago, I don't know why he
didn't. He said a last week he had a family member die & had to travel but
why didn't he ship them in the first place right after we paid him? He is
very hard to deal with. He won't answer questions, emails, or anything. He
won't tell you anything. He said on HerpAuction that if you emailed him he
would send pics on his animals(he had several geckos on there) but I emailed
him about a group i think & these two & he would not respond, I just thought
that he was like me & swamped with mail or was away or something. I don't
think I'm gettin myself in this kinda mess again, I'm not gonna deal with
him again, & if I email someone with questions or about pics & they don't
respond within a certain amount of time I won't bid(if I can afford it & can
take care of the animal Mom lets me bid by myself sometimes)
I feel sooooo bad for these lil gex, but like I said, he was supposed to
have sent them a long time ago, but he chose to wait til dec. & the weather
was bad.. I really don't mean to blame him but he won't tell us anything,
why he waited so long to ship, why he would put these lil babies in danger.
Its sad, it really is. I hope I don't give the wrong impression, I don't
normally put blame on anyone, but when you are talking about the lives of
defencless animals, it changes alot. I just pray that these guys are ok when
they get here.
You are right, the lil guys are far to valuable, emotionally or otherwise<S>
