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.

oh no! which ememrald? they were both healthy!
