Genetics Guarantee for Life:

At any time someone can contact JD Constriction with a photo and an ID number and can confirm for them the year, clutch, and genetics of that animal.
  • Genetics of each animal sold are guaranteed for the life of the animal given the owner has their animal’s JD Constriction unique ID.  Without the ID number the genetics guarantee is considered null and void.

  • Animals that have passed as a result of the buyer will not be credited.
  • All returns are in the form of credit towards another animal, less any shipping charges, NO CASH REFUNDS are given.
  • After 3 months if any credit has not been used it is considered forfeited to JD Constriction

International Shipping:

  • JD Constriction is not an exporter but is willing to work with an exporter to send animals internationally.  It is however VERY expensive and time consuming.
  • To be eligible for consideration for an international order the minimum individual order total is $1000 and the minimum single animal price within an order is $500.
  • For any international order the customer will pay for all exporter fees, exporter commissions, and domestic shipping from JD Constriction to the exporter, all of which are non-refundable and must be paid before domestic shipping.
  • For animals sent to an exporter and combined with other animals in the exporter’s order and then available for pick up at an international show the exporter typically charges approximately 20% of our sale price ($200 minimum) as their commission which is non-refundable.  These charges may be different depending on the exporter.
  • For an individual shipment for delivery to an importer exporters charges are approximately $1100 for cities and paperwork plus 10% of the sale as their commission which is non-refundable and takes 1 to 3 months to complete.  Also the buyer would also be required to identify and work with an importer on their end that is willing to import the animals from an exporter and pay any associated fees they require.  These charges may be different depending on the exporter.
  • As an example the minimum order possible for an international order would be $1000 for up to 2 animals, $200 for the 20% exporter commision, and domestic shipping from JD Constriction to the exporter of approximately $50 for a total of $1250 for pickup at an international show.  $500 of that particular order would not be refundable.
  • Just as with our other Terms and Conditions 25% of the purchase price of an international order is non-refundable.
