Southern Chondros -Terms of Sale

Payment
Payment must be received in full, including shipping costs if applicable, before animals can be picked up or shipped. Checks must clear before payments are considered received.

Payment plans are available; please contact me for more information. I require a $100 or 10% (which ever is greater) non-refundable deposit to hold an animal. Shipping arrangements will be made after the last payment is received.

Shipping
I am a verified Delta Dash shipper and prefer this method of shipping. I ship out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) in North Carolina. Shipping costs are approximately $80 for same day delivery through Delta to your nearest airport. Shipping costs must be paid before animals can be shipped.

Customers are responsible for shipping costs unless otherwise stated. I will only ship when temperatures are above 40°F and below 90°F at origin and destination cities. Packages shipped through Delta must be picked up within two hours of arrival.

Animals paid for in full can be picked up in person at my home in North Carolina.

Sexing
None of my hatchlings are sexed. I do not sex baby green tree pythons that are less than 100 grams and 12 months of age due to the possibility of damaging their fragile spines. Spinal kinks can occur when trying to "pop" baby chondros. If you require a sexed animal, please consider purchasing an older snake.

Guarantee
I guarantee live arrival of animals shipped when the temps are between 40°F to 90°F along the entire shipping route and as long as your package is picked up within two hours of delivery through Delta Dash. Inspect your packages at the time of pickup, file a claim with the carrier if there is a problem and contact me immediately.

All sales of animals are final. I guarantee, at time of shipment, animals are eating well and they are healthy. All babies will have taken at least 10 meals and have a solid feeding response. They should continue to do well for you but once you take possession of the animal/s, you are responsible for its health and well-being. Veterinary health certificates are available upon request. Charges will vary depending on the level of testing you desire. Some chondros will require a period of adjustment before they will eat. If you suspect any health problems with your chondro, please contact me immediately.

I recommend any new addition to your collection be quarantined for a minimum of 30 days. It is always wise to have your own exotic vet available.

I care about every single animal that I sell and I want them to do well for you. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your animals.

Your Responsibilities
By purchasing from Southern Chondros it is presumed that you possess the skills required to keep chondros in an appropriate enclosure and healthy state. You are therefore assumed to possess adequate knowledge of caging requirements such as, but not limited to: size, humidity, temperature, perch diameter, etc. Naturally, I will gladly offer any assistance requested, but ultimate responsibility must be yours as the housing conditions will be completely under your control.

Likewise, although I only sell chondros that have a healthy feeding response and readily eat for me (unless specifically stated otherwise), a change in environment, setting, etc. can be enough to disrupt a chondro's feeding habits. It is assumed that you possess the skills to be able to get a non-feeding chondro back to readily feeding. I will always gladly offer any suggestions and tips should the need arise. By purchasing from me, you will always get all the follow up support you require. I want your animal to thrive for you!
