Hi, I am thinking of buying off Bob Clark but he delivers to Essex and I can't get down there as I am working.
I was just wondering if anyone else was buying from here and could help me out?
cheers, Fiona |

Just make sure you check the sex yourself when you get it. Be prepared for a snake used to live feeding and possibly very stressed from its journey. Also, from reports I've heard (only hearsay, but from people I trust) be wary of buying recessive hets, probably best only to buy visual morphs so that you 'know' what you're getting. Obviously there is also little chance of comeback if it all goes wrong and your supplier is on the other side of the world.

whenever I have bought any from Bob he has popped them in front of me to show the sex.
As for hets I can't comment as most of mine have been visual, the het ones arent up to breeding size yet.
Bob is a good person to deal with and will do his best to correct any errors, he comes to the UK whenever he is at a show in Europe so you may need to wait a while for the error to be made right but often you will get a much better deal than what you paid for initially.
I had to wait several months for some I paid for so in the end Bob gave me a visual instead of a het and gave me a 4th snake for free.

Hi, thanks. I have actually been conversing with Bob via email and he seems pretty trustworthy, so I've put an order in with him |

Hi,it is definately the 9th, I emailed him directly to confirm. I only placed my order yesterday, so your mate(?) may still have time to get his order in...admittedly I've only ordered 1 rather than shop size |
