Jesse Underhill

Jesse Underhill/JJ's Reptiles has now actually refunded $500 of the total $800 he owes me so far.  As far as I know, he's also not selling reptiles anymore.  It looks like he's making good on his word, finally.

Hooray for April.
I am happy for you.

just be careful  that he does not come back with his fake albino surinam.
But I think that the reptile world is now aware of him.
So we should be safe.

We own a Pet Store in Rochester,Mn He been selling us reptiles for over 10 years now.With no problem's at all.My husband purchased a pair of his het balls last year 1/24/01 they were adults very nice looking ball pythons we had 5 eggs produced from them two are albino and three normal looking babies they were born 3/06/02 my husband was very happy.I'm not some reptile crazy person my thing is fish. When we went to pick up the ball python he had two pairs of them all adults he saved.I have read all of the post and I think April got the other pair of het He didn't have much for ball pythons just some albino's and normal looking ones and some weird looking ones that had big white patches on it.What ever that was I was looking at his saltwater tank.He does have alot of Boa Constristors cage after cage of them.We have been buying from the wholesaler in the Cities to supply us of reptiles.For the people who don't know he was burglarized almost everything he had was stolen.It was in the local paper here over 200 animals stolen.The last we heard of it they have two people in custody.We're going to Austin this weekend to a show(home and vacation) We may stop by his place to tell him the good news on my husband baby ball pythons.My husband jsut told jesse is still selling them but he is builting back up his collection.Jenny

Nice, but you're a bit early for April Fool's Day.

Please furnish the following:

1) Your full name, as required by the rules of this site.
2) The name of your store, as well as its contact info.
3) The name of the newspaper that ran the story about Jesse's alleged theft, because I've already gone through the archives of the newspapers servicing both Rochester and Austin. Interestingly enough, not only is there no record of the thefts in the newspapers, the Austin PD is rather dumbfounded about this alleged incident as well.

My honest impression if you couldn't already tell... I susprct that this is either the confirmed theif Jesse Underhill, or one of his cohorts in crime posting.

Ball Pythons w/big white patches???WOW an albino surinam AND $20,000 pied balls!!!! And his wife got mad at him for buying the boa I sold him for $130.00. I don't think so... Casey

Sorry didn't know .
Jenny Robertson we own Fish and Critters 507-282-0798 There was no big story on the theif just a post on the police report page.Here if your reptile gets out or taken here in rochester they don't care you never hear anything about it anymore you call and they just tell you they have someone on it.My brother is a Cop and he told me they just file it away. I have seen his wife and she is not all there if you know what I mean.She goes crazy and start hitting him for no reason . Mr Underhill said she on Medication for it.I remember last year we purchased some panther chameleons from him.He came back the next day for one of them it was one his wife wanted so he purchased it back he said if he did come back with it she was going to kill every damn reptile he had and then throw his stuff outside.Once we went out to eat at the Timber lodge and she throw her plate of food at the waitress and started freaking out.I don't know why he don't just leave her.I see when someone post about someone everyone start saying crap about them.This is the first time we have even seen this site or any other one .We are new to the buy and selling of animals across the internet.To tell you the truth I'm really scared about even trying to buy anything on here.From some of the things I have read about sick reptiles and people getting ripped off.Think your better off just not doing it.Jenny

Jenny, I dont know anything about the Jesse Underhill thing. Dont let this site turn you off from doing transactions on the web.

If you look at the number of complaints on here versus the number of transactions on the Web. It is very miniscule. I have never been ripped off and have done many transactions.

The purpose of this site is to get references on people and report people in case you get ripped off. That way it doesnt happen to others.

Things to make sure it doesnt happen to you. Talk on the phone. Get Pictures with a date stamp. Get a full name with an address. Ask them for references. And follow up on those references. If you worried about bogus references get more than five.

Best of Luck

Jenny,
 I have a slight problem with your post.  See I live in Red Wing MN.  Not to far from Rochester, and one of my best friends sons is dying at the Mayo Clinic as we speak.  Well I told him about your store, because he is a HUGE reptile enthusiast and he tried to find you in a phone book, and 411 did him no good either.  So here is my question.  Whats going on?

Interestingly enough, there is no listing whatsoever in any telephone directory for "Fish and Critters" in Rochester, or anywhere nearby. Just to confirm, I called directory assistance. No big surprise that they didn't have it listed either. Even less surprising was the results of their looking up the number 507/282-0798... private number.

As I have said before, the Austin PD, whom I have contacted by phone and email have no knowledge of the alleged theft of 200 snakes worth six figures. In a town of only 22,000, such a big heist would be garnered with attention.

I don't doubt that Jesse had some ball pythons with white patches on them. They were likely wild-caught balls with whit-out dumped on them. Time and again, Jesse Underhill has demonstrated himself to be a liar and a thief.

The bad english skills sound way too familiar. &nbsp;This is either Jesse or a friend posting. I wasn't even saying anything bad - just updating people to let them know that you are actually paying me back. &nbsp;I just recieved another $100, so he's down to $200 now. &nbsp;I really don't think that after all that has happened people will believe that Jesse (or "Jenny" now) is an honest breeder. &nbsp;It doesn't matter how many "friends" post on here. &nbsp;Eric Russell is still also owed money. &nbsp;I don't want to go through the whole story again now that the old board is gone, but if anyone doesn't know and is thinking of dealing with him, please email me first. &nbsp;There are other people on this board that can back everything up. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
