Yes the poor little guy was beautiful and very similar to the correct snake that I ordered. I would have been happy to keep the wrong one had it survived. I feel that the refund would not have happened if i didn't pursue it so aggressively, unfortunately the reptile breeders I have dealt with tend to be a shady lot at best, IMO. I have had no issues with amphibian breeders, and I have purchased a lot.
In the end, good business or bad makes no difference, a refund was issued to me, but only after aggressive action by myself and PayPal.
