Terms and Conditions

For the very best experience, and to promote valued and repeat customers, here we go.....

I guarantee all snakes  are healthy and feeding frozen/thawed mice at the time of sale unless otherwise noted.  If a snake stops eating, there is always a reason.  I am available to offer advice at any time during your snake ownership.  I do not  pay for a veterinary health check, if you take your snake to a veterinarian, you do so entirely at your own expense.

The genetics of your new snake are guaranteed when the ad states het for a gene.  Possible hets are just that, possible and therefore, not guaranteed.

I prefer PayPal for any purchase.  Payment  plans are available and encouraged; I want you to be able to get the snake you want!  A  nonrefundable deposit of 25% of the cost of the order is required. The order must be paid in full within 60 days unless other arrangements are made at the time of the initial purchase.  Failure to pay in full in the time given will result in a refund of all payments besides the original 25% nonrefundable deposit. 

Shipping is actual cost based upon zip code. I ship to the US lower 48 states and actual FedEx offices in Alaska (not those that are contracted with FedEx). Local pick up or meet up is welcome.  Shipping is through FedEx priority next day air using  ShipYourReptiles.  I ship Tuesday and Wednesday of each week, to FedEx Ship Center, as hold for pick-up at your local FedEx facility.  I require that the snake be picked up within 4 hours of arrival.  Please plan ahead, and make sure that the appropriate arrangements have been made on your end to keep shipped animals safe. I won't ship when temperatures  fall  below 38ºF or 87ºF, or above. However I will feed, care, and send you an occasional pictures of  your snake until it is safe to ship.  

I will not be accountable for carrier delays or fault.  You do have the option to purchase insurance at the time of purchase.  The cost is 2.50 per 100.00, if you so choose please state so at the time of purchase.   

Please unpack and carefully inspect your snake(s) upon arrival.  Purchasing a snake from me implies that you have read the care and feeding page of this website and have provided the environment and handling recommendations called for in that section.  

In the unlikely event an animal  arrives deceased, you must notify me immediately and email a photo of the animal(s) or all guarantees are null and void.  In the event that you receive a deceased snake, and meet the terms of this agreement, every attempt will be made to replace the snake with a similar snake or of equal value.  For cash compensation, please refer to the shipping insurance referenced above. 

The legality of owning a reptile in your city and state is your responsibility. It is not my responsibility to know what regulations exist in your area.  You must confirm that you are able to legally have snakes in your apartment or house.  I do not knowingly sell reptiles to persons below 18 years of age unless a parent provides consent.  Purchasing a snake from me implies that you comply with city and state laws, and received permission from landlords.

Under no circumstances would the failure to read and understand these terms, be reason to consider them altered or void.  Please reach out with any questions or concerns before you commit to purchase.  I reserve the  right to refuse sale to any buyer for any reason. 

Keeping and breeding snakes is a passion for me.  I consider every one of my snakes my pet and companion.   When you purchase a snake from me you are getting a snake that has been treated well and handled often. 

Thank you for considering SnakeCreations for your snake collection!
