Donald Rollins
First off 98% of all communication with this guy was on the phone so I really don't have any emails I can post for everyone to see I have some pictures if requested.
I was on kingsnake and found this guy Donald Rollins selling some beardies cheap I had been considering breeding a few normals to help supply some nice pet stores near by he was asking $75.00 per dragon So I bought two of the better looking girls from him. It took me a good week to get this guy to ship them keep in mind its winter its cold well when the box came I was horrified to see about 50 holes poked in it, come on its 32-35 degrees out common sense would have helped a lot! I opened the box and it has only two sides insulated with this really cheap thin foam there was a plastic shoe box in it stuffed with shredded news paper I took both girls out, frozen solid and dead and I don't think the one would have made it regardless of being pack right as it was nothing but skin and bone no fat packs or anything I don't even think this guy used real pictures of the dragons. Well I start looking around for the heat packs there was ONE tiny heat pack that would heat no more then my toe! It was so tiny i don't even know what in the world it would be used for. So I call and tell him they are dead and I am being nice at this point, and he offers me his Rankins now I do know I was taking a risk but I said I'd take them as replacements, for 3 weeks he kept blowing me off on shipping well the past two days where 60 degrees lows of 45 at night and I called him told him to ship it's great weather first day he didn't "Oh I don't want to ship them now" I told him right out HOW to properly pack these dragons and how to ship call again last night telling him to ship again he never called back finally get a hold of him today "OH I don't want them to die I will just sell them at a show" I finally lost it and told him right out he KILLED the dragons shipping because he didn't do one damn thing packing wise right not to mention the girls where skinny, dirty, and god knows what kind of parasite and other medical problems where going on. He doesn't really seem to care no show of emotion nothing so I am expecting a refund by tonight or I will go after him through my credit card company. This guy is really bad news please be careful and not deal with him I found another complaint on him on a snake board it said he sold Het Lavender Albinos and the person bred the snakes to a true lavender albino and got all normals so he scammed him lying about the genetics. *************STOP AND READ FIRST**************** PICTURES BELOW ARE OF THE DEAD FEMALES IF YOU CAN'T TAKE SEEING SOMETHING LIKE THIS PLEASE STOP HERE. http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...olddragon2.jpg NOTE The one female has NO Fat packs on her head her hips where sticking out and her tail had NO fat what so ever on it. |
I find this hard to believe. i have done alot of buisness with donald rollins an he has never ever done me wrong.
Did he garuntee you live arrival? Cause right now everyone is only hearing your side of the story theres your side. there is his side. theres a lie an a truth. is donald aware of this thread? i just called him an let him know he said he didnt garuntee live arivall. |
Is this the same "Rollins" that was associated with LAW Reptiles? The name rings a bell. Where was he located? If this is the same guy, I would advise contacting your CC Company ASAP. Good luck.

Personally, I wouldn't do business with anyone who does business with those thieves and scammers. |
Here's a link...he was going by "Jacob". Does any of the other info match up, Nicole?
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ptiles+rollins |
Yes some of that info sounds like Donald Rollins he is from Dayton Ohio has a company called All About Wood there is a big postabout him on Ball-Pythons.net about how he scamed a bunch of people I was getting funky feelings and looked into this found that a few days agoI had a Live Arrival and 24 hour health Guarentee he can deny it all he wants as I have called my Credit Card Company and reported it they are getting my money back. He wouldnt even answer his phone for me 9 times out of 10 I had to call from a different line to get a hold of him.
|
The name Donald Rollins comes up a few times in this thread:
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...Donald+Rollins I'm very interested to see if this is the same group. |
You know, I was going to start a thread about this guy a while back when I saw him selling on KS, but I thought it was a different guy and didn't want to drag his name through the mud. It would be nice to have him post here to defend his good name.
OOOOOH, this is going to be fun! |
Here is the post I had found on another forum check it out
http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=76642 |
I highly doubt he'll even reply to the thread... I mean there is an off chance that he will... but if he's a known scumbag, odds are he will just assume it'll be better to ignore it... who knows though... I do agree with it being potentially interesting...

Im not backing him up.
I just gave my opinion. an also said something i think me an you both could agree on there is a lie. there is a truth. an there is her side an his side. you an everyone else have only heard hers. an i also said the buisness that i have done with donald has went very well. I dont think donald will make an account to respond to any of this but he knows its here. thats his deal not mine. i just wanted him to be aware of what is being said. thanks jesse |
Is Donald Rollins associated with David Rollins?
The reason I ask is back in October 2008 I was talking to, through email, a David Rollins about a possible trade for a female albino ball for one of my boas. I then received an email from a Donald Rollins regarding the trade and it seemed strange because of the different name, but Donald seemed to know about the trade. So in the next email that I replied to David I told him about the email from Donald and asked if he was one in the same. Me next email from whoever was something very short along the lines of " she's sold" and nothing else. I still have a couple of the emails on my computer and I'll try to find more. Rob Burns |

Also reading your posts are at the very least painful and nauseating. Just for fun throw a few caps in there once every sentence and maybe hit the spell check button. It is right below the reply you are now typing and the last one on the right. If you're too lazy to do this then don't post. |
Not every scammer scams all the time. It is possible Jesse dealt with him before knowing who he was. It is also possible that he had positive experiences. He was certainly quick to say that he was NOT backing him up. I think Jesse was trying to be fair without knowing who he was dealing with. I don't think he would come on here and knowingly defend a scammer....don't know him, but sometimes one gets a gut feeling about someone.
Jesse- In all fairness, make sure you read the links posted and try to see if this is the same guy. It may save your butt or someone else's in the future. |
Jesse also dealt with him in person I am sure. Seeing as Donald Rollins is from Dayton. Then Jesse is from the Cinncinatti/Dayton area. In person and getting animals shipped 2 TOTALLY different things.

The shipper poked a bunch of holes in the package before sending it to cold weather with a minimal heat pack? I won't buy inanimate goods from this guy. |
Erik is absolutely correct here...the guy caused the death of these poor animals, by the ridiculous and inhumane way he shipped them. His complete negligence caused the death of these poor animals, "live arrival guarantee" or not.
I don't care if it was "in person" or not, anyone who cares that little about the animals he's dealing with shouldn't be dealing in live creatures at all, and certainly isn't someone I would ever consider doing business with. And if this is that same sybill of a scammer who I think it is....he needs to be stopped. Jesse, if you've done business with this guy in person, you can help. |
I relize that for sure Cat. This guy should not have done what he did. But didn't want Jesse to get ripped apart too much cause his deal went good with him. See this a lot from the import dealers. As I recall that is what Donald is. In person you can pick out the animals and inspect them thoroughly. Where online you have to trust pictures. That could be old, photoshopped, or edited in some other way.
I am also an Ohioan. I will be sure to stay away from this guy. Even though I haven't seen him at any of the shows I vend on a month to month basis. Only have seen him online a few ads here and there. Sorry to hear you lost the dragons Nicole. Hopefully you get your refund soon. And we can all stay away from Donald in the future. |
Ya know Jesse I probably was a little harsh in my last post. So I apologize for that, I have a terrible head cold/ flu and to say I was feeling grumpy would be an understatement ( note to self don't post when ill) Anyway just be careful who you deal with and how far you go to "back" them.
Also, If you really do want people to take you seriously please attempt to clean up your writing style, It is hard to read and the teenage-text-message-lingo looks like well... exactly that. Best of Luck |
i called donald rollins yesterday in response to his KS ad for 1.1 adult pinstripes.these "adults" are (by his estimation) 1.0 750 grams and 0.1 850 grams,when i asked about calling them adults he said "the female only needs to put on 150 grams to breed".
when asked about pics he stated the pics were on his phone and he could send them to my phone but didn't know how to send them to my computer. he mentioned he had them for about 8 months and i told him i was looking for perfect or nearly perfect stripes and he responded by saying he would look at them and call me right back about there stripes,strange as it seems he never called back,perhaps he was too busy getting ready for his upcoming move he mentioned earlier. oddly enough his grammar and spelling are like other herpers from the dayton,oh. area. |
Kyle, Cat, and John- That's pretty much where I was going. We shouldn't crucify Jesse for having a good deal or 2 with this guy. Now that he knows what's up, he may be able to help do something about it.
|
I would never backup a scammer in my life i think it is wrong by all means an like i said nicole i am sorry for your loss.
i dont want to be the middle man in this i was just saying i have done buisness with donald in person a few times an all went well. they were all healthy animals an had great feeding responses, etc. i have read the other forums @ bp.net an the ***NVP*** thing. it bums me out because these scammers in my area make it harder for people like me who enjoy the herp keeping to sell there animals. i live in between cincy an dayton. im bordering these scammer hot spots :[ |
