The following information is relative to Rachel Rodgers.. who works in conjunction with Kathy Doyle in the area of Reptile Rescue/rehab/ adoptions and resides in the state of New Jersey. Some "issues" were brought to light in reference to exactly what she has been doing by quite a few people in recent months in relation to reptiles and her Reptile rescue known as All Species Reptile Rescue. The information and postinf reflective of the "issue" areas have been addressed on MOI 's adoption forums under the now defunct BOA forum threads...Rachel is a moderator on those forums btw [ geesh.. wonder what happened to the forum known as the BOA on there ? ]. Also there has been quite a bit of information posted on this thread also on www.redtailboa.net . Seeing that I had a lot of information to place into the "issues" at hand that had / were being brought up I just went ahead and opened some pages on my own site also in relation to the whole thing too. They are located on AS THE REPTILE WORLD TURNS . lol What else would one call such a fiasco going on anyway ? There are links to other pages also related to this [ I had actually copied quite a few of the posts on MOI that were in the BOA forum there. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Another thread this has been discussed in is on redtailboa.net also. .
I know it makes for a lot, actually a ton of reading , BUT for those of us doing reptile rescue/rehab/ adoptions..some of the the issues are not well met by others. Some of the issues include... adopting reptiles to only turn around and adopt them out yet again, looking to have illegal paperwork drawn up in relation to chelonian adoptions, brokering reptiles out in adoption, selling reptile rescues [ not meant in the terms of adoption fees either ], stepping in on others trying to adopt reptiles which are looking to be placed into new homes, placing a green burm out in adoption without telling the adopter that the burm has BD, telling others that have reptiles up for adoptions that a prospective adopter is not "qualified" to adopt a reptile and she is so that she can get the reptile herself [ when she actually has just about as much experience with the ss as that person], going overboard on her adoption application requirements, list goes on but ya'll get the drift I am sure....
OH and she also had borrowed a boa for breeding purposes and failed to return the boa to it's owner [ this is me specifically] when promised. I had to have someone step in and go to her home to get the boa back from her. I can probably say that our agreement for any babies as a resulkt of the breeds will even take place now after all that has come out into the open in regards to her now even. [ which btw way was a 50/50 split ]
The forum on MOI known as the bOA may have dissapeared BUT I had 20/20 hindsight , who knows why , and managed to get most of it copied and now the pastes are on my site on pages there. The information is not 100% completed on my site but there is a start of it there at this point.
Sorry for the long post but..ya know...
