I sold an emerald a few months ago. I raised her from a baby and had her for like 6 years....perfectly healthy emerald. The guy that bought her assured me that he knew what he was doing. His best friend was a well respected emerald breeder and he was helping him with his set up. I didn't wonder till later why he wasn't getting his emerald from his emerald breeder friend...but...anyway. A couple of months later he emailed me and said he wanted a refund because she never would eat for him and she died. Died? She had never missed a meal in her life! And even if she didn't eat even once, an adult emerald is NOT going to starve to death in 2 months. So I asked some more questions and was horrified at the answers. "We tried soaking treatments, fluid injections, antibiotics..." What? Why? He saw her open her mouth to yawn and called his vet. Vet said she has an RI so they did all that to "treat" her. He never would answer me as to what her cage temps were. Anyway, He and his vet killed her. I'm still pretty ticked off about the whole thing and there's no way he's getting a refund or another snake from me.
