Blackened Paper

Not like most breeders.

Because my priority is the wellbeing of the snake over any profit from its sale, your experience buying a snake from me will be different than most anyone else. 

What's the difference?

When you buy a snake from Royal Coils Pythons, you're getting an animal that was raised with more care and thought than most breeders out there. You won't see Royal Coils Pythons at expos slinging snakes left and right to the first person with cash in hand. 

​

I care about where my animals end up and their quality of life is paramount. I do not sell snakes without going over basic care with my buyers. This includes a detailed discussion about the proposed enclosure or rack system. Understandably, some may disagree with my policy which is fine with me. They are not the people I want my snakes going to anyway. I've seen far too many animals suffer in subpar conditions and eventually perish from neglect because a higher level of support was not available for their owner.

You're getting more than just a snake.

When you buy a snake from me, you're also getting my support and guidance for the remainder of that animal's life - which if you've done your homework, you'd know they can reach 40 years old! Where else can you get 40 years of support for anything? With more than 12 years in the Veterinary Medical field, you're also getting advice from someone with a deeper understanding of your new pet's physiology than your average reptile keeper. 

My guarantee to you:

Hatchlings

Babies stay with me until they have had FIVE consecutive meals to ensure they are healthy and growing.

Genetics & Sex

Your animal is guaranteed to be the described sex and age as listed. 100% Hets are 100% guaranteed. As morph combos get more complicated, I will do my best to ID the genes present in an animal and I am open to discussing genetics with my customers. 

Shipping & Live Arrival

As per the Shipping Terms below, your animal's live arrival is guaranteed. You must be present to sign for the package at first attempted delivery and any issue with the snake must be reported to me within 2 hours of receipt. Refunds or replacements are given on a case by case basis.

How to Buy

Let's Chat

When you've found an animal you're interested in purchasing, click the inquire button on it's listing to initiate communications with me. We'll talk about your intended enclosure and your level of experience with the species. Beginners to Experienced Breeders are welcome! When you and I are both satisfied, we'll more forward with the rest of the details to get your new pet safely to you.

Payment

Shipping costs are in addition to the purchase price of the animal - NOT included. I will request your email address, shipping address, etc so that I can properly quote you for shipping. Online payments are completed through a PayPal Invoice. No other online methods of payment are accepted at this time. For local purchases, cash is preferred and a receipt is still provided as proof of sale. Payment Plans are accepted on a case by case basis and must be paid in full by the agreed upon completion date. Deposits are 100% Non-Refundable. If a customer changes their mind or drops communication, their deposit will be kept to cover the cost of caring for the animal during the time which it was held and it will be placed back up for sale. I am willing to discuss discounts for the purchase of multiple animals, as well as combined shipping.

Shipping

** I frequently road trip into surrounding states - exchange in person may be possible ** Shipping is not included in the purchase price of the animal, unless stated otherwise. That being said, I frequently charge less for shipping than it actually costs me to ship the animal out, especially when considering materials, time, gas, and the shipping label. Once paid in full, we will then find a safe shipping day. Date of shipping is dependent on weather, as temperatures must be safe for the snake to travel through at the departure, transit, and arrival locations. I will not risk shipping a snake in dangerously low or high temperatures. I am in the PNW, where winter temperatures can be too low to safely ship. Ask me about holding your animal until safe shipping weather! Snakes are shipped Priority Overnight through Reptiles2You and only from Monday through Wednesday to allow for next morning delivery as well as a buffer zone in case of any delays in transit. Shipping charges depend on total package weight and destination. You must provide an accurate address and phone number. You must be present to sign for your package at the first delivery attempt or the Live Arrival Guarantee is void. I STRONGLY recommend shipping your animal directly to your local Fedex Hub. This is also known as "Held At Location" or HAL. This shortens your new pet's travel time, which is ultimately safer for them. Fedex will require an ID that matches the name on the package and a signature confirming pick-up. They will not give you your animal if your ID doesn't match the Ship To name. For clients in less populated areas or with more variable weather, shipping to a Fedex Hub is not optional. There is no additional charge to ship to the Fedex Hub.

Refunds & Replacements

Live Arrival: Customer must contact me immediately (no more than 2 hours after delivery) with proof that the animal has perished during the shipping process. Time Stamped Photos/Videos will be required as proof (unboxing videos are great!). Refund or replacement provided pending the customer's preference and RCP availability. Incorrect Sex: No one is perfect and sometimes these things happen. Photographic proof must be provided. Customer can choose to return the animal at RCP's expense or RCP can provide a partial refund to match the appropriate value. Incorrect Morph: Besides 100% Hets and Visual Recessives, or very obvious genes, I will not be guaranteeing genetics, especially as combos become more complex. I will do my best to identify the genes in any given animal and post photos as true to life as possible. It is up to you to research the genes you are wishing to purchase and make your own assessment prior to purchasing. I am happy to discuss genetics of a given animal before purchase should you disagree with my identification but no refund or replacement will be offered once purchased. Injury or Illness: While I have never shipped out an animal in this kind of condition, should you discover that your new pet appears to be sick or injured on arrival, I will require proof of immediate veterinary care. If the animal is indeed sick or injured, refund, replacement, or reimbursement will be discussed as to customer preference and RCP availability. Once you have taken possession of the snake and no issues were reported within 2 hours of delivery, I am no longer liable for the animal's condition. It is your responsibility to be properly prepared to take on your new pet. Should you have any questions or concerns, I am of course available to assist and guide you.
