Has anyone had problems with don

If I were you, next time do "hold for pickup", know the scheduled arrival time, and be there. That eliminates that last truck.

only other issue I have had was a shippers mixup and a trio of hypermel wanderings arrived dead that were going to Shannon. I replaced them. I have been shipping snakes back and forth for years... Scott Felzer can verify this...haven't had any issues.

Don - I was thinking much much more broadly, as in teen-age offspring, significant others, co-workers, former classmates and teachers . . .
it's hardly possible to go through life without getting someone irritated now and then
and no, Stefan, this is not the BOI, but if someone asked about Bob, the guy with the "blue garters", I'd express the belief that some of our members had less than positive experiences with him

I just wanted to add my thumbs up for Don, I'd buy from him again without hesitation.

yers i really do think don is a reputable breeder i just got two more snakes from him shipped today! I definetly will order from him again!

perhaps I need to point out that I was being silly, just so everybody is perfectly clear about it now
I've had nothing but good experiences with Don, have heard only positive things about him, and I wish I had the space and funds to have more of his snakes
the web is just not a good place to be silly in certain ways

Got Amy from Don and she arrived safely in a sturdy insulated box with a heat pack back in Dec. I'm very happy with the purchase. Amy is doing fantastic. I am already planning to get a male from Don for Amy so I would definitely do business with Don any time.

I check temps on all shipments the night b4 shipping. If the temps are extreme, I prefer shipping to a Fed Ex office that is closest/most convenient to the customer. This way it is held in an air conditioned environment where it will be protected from the elements. If temps are borderline, I mark on the box " AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT-LEAVE IN SHADED AREA IF NO ONE IS HOME". To date, shipping literally hundreds of shipments, I have had no problems following these steps. Hope this helps.

I really do love Amy, she's absolutely stunning

That's when she was in shed, "cloudy" or "blue" as they call it. She just shed so I will try to get new pics posted in the next couple of days. Her stripe is much more golden, the areas lacking pigment are much more lavender colored.


But enough about Amy. It's Don we're talking about. Bad things happen, sometimes twice in a row, to good breeders. Chalk it up to bad luck. Don will make it right and this problem you had is definitely not a common occurrence with Don. Many satisfied customers and snakes shipped safely
