Shipping:
Currently I am shipping through Ship Your Reptiles (SYR) via FedEx overnight in the US. Prices listed do not include shipping cost. For animals over $500, shipping insurance is mandatory - I split this cost with my customers as it protects your investment and my work. I reserve the right to ship to a FedEx hub over a residence if I see it as necessary (in most cases this decision will be decided by weather). No animals will be shipped in weather where the low is ≤ 40° or the high is ≥ 90°.
Payment Plans:
All payment plans are determined individually at my own discretion. But you can expect the following conditions in the majority of cases:
25% non-refundable down-payment via PayPal friends and family (no exceptions). Duration is contingent on value, where the balance must be paid in:
30 days for purchases under $500
60 days for purchases $500 and over
Guarantees:
*Guarantees only apply to the original buyer*
I guarantee animals to be correctly sexed and healthy upon arrival. If shipped to a residence the animal MUST be signed for the first time, if you miss the first attempt ALL guarantees are null and void. If the animal is signed for the first time or picked up at a Fedex hub and is dead on arrival (DOA), the buyer must inform myself and FedEx within 1 hour of signing. Picture or video evidence must be provided if I request it - if not notified within the hour and evidence is not provided, you will not be refunded. You will, of course, be refunded if these requests are met. In DOA cases where shipping insurance is not purchased (animal cost under $500, does not include cost of shipping) the buyer is not protected or guaranteed a refund (insurance isn't costly, I always recommend it!).
Pairing information will always be given for every animal so the buyer is informed on all possible genes. I always guarantee the status of any heterozygous (hets) genetics. Actual gene identity is based on my interpretation, but not guaranteed. In all cases where I am uncertain, I will list the gene in question as "poss" or "possible". Incorrect gene identity is a growing problem in this hobby for a number of reasons, but in cases with ASR and other reputable breeders, this uncertainty is the product of the diversity of genes flowing within our collection and the market. I will always be as forward about genetics as possible and welcome the prospective buyer's thoughts.
Basic information about ASR animals:
- All ball pythons are kept in their own room (I do not mix species as a preventative health measure) with both ambient (80°-85°, depends on season) and hot-spot (~88°) controlled temperatures.
- All ball pythons are started on live rats. I will not feed mice or African soft furred rats (ASFs) to avoid the possibility of any animal developing a preference for anything other than a rat. This has benefitted both my customers and myself with strong rat feeders.
