Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I respect you sticking up for your friend, but if someone made that comment about me in a BOI thread, I would be more likely to reply to it then to continue to ignore the situation.
It has been 7 months. Plus he has a wee bit of a history:

I know his history....and I won't make any excuses for him and his apparent inability to wrap up old business deals. But that is worlds away from suggesting he knowingly had IBD in his collection and therefore sold it off.
Is it possible??? No more or less possible than YOU having IBD in your collection right now. Or me having it in mine. But regardless of his business problems, he LOVES the animals way too much to risk spreading disease to anyone else's. He would NOT have done such a thing...period.
How can any of us know what happened to that snake? It was fine at the show. Maybe it got overheated on the ride home and developed neurological damage that progressed over time? Maybe it was exposed to some sort of chemical or pesticide at the buyer's house? Did the OP get a necropsy done? We don't know, because that question hasn't been answered yet. But unless he did AND shows proof of it being IBD, I find it highly irresponsible for people to leap to this ultimate conclusion of Adam knowingly selling off IBD-infected stock.

In that amount of time, given the concern the buyer states he exhibited, I would expect pictures at the very least.
I would have also expected a necropsy to have been done.

You're right, and I apologize for letting my bitterness leak into thread. Hopefully the seller replys.

This is unfortunate as these "bad guy" threads keep popping up about Adam. Their is alot of confusion whether he is still in the buisness or not, personally i dont know. My opinion is, that he sold a sickly snake to someone. Whether it be a normal or not, he sold a snake that was not in good health. Even if he is out of the buisness or not he should still take care of his transactions regaurdless. It's not like he can bankrupt is past buyers, although it seems hes doing it more and more nowadays. I hope you can get your money back, i wouldnt even consider taking another animal from him.

How do you KNOW he sold a "sickly snake" to someone? You even say you don't know if he's still in business or not...but you KNOW he sold a sick snake? Based on what? The OP's initial post? According to that, the snake didn't even show signs of being ill until a "few days" had passed after he brought it home. She was apparently healthy enough at the show. If she wasn't sick then, how should Adam know she was sick? How do you know she wasn't exposed to something at the show? How do you know she wasn't exposed to something in the time between the purchase and the onset of symptoms?

I don't think it matters at this point who's fault it is. That is to be determined between Clarence and Adam. I think the real question is, why is he not responding (to anyone) but continues to sell? I think the OP at least deserves a "Sorry, sold as is"

He is attending shows in the present time; I recently attended Hamburg in October and he had a table. He also had snakes there for sale.
I don't know him personally, but this isn't the first time a complaint came up regarding Adam. I believe it wasn't too long ago he took a large sum of a customer's money, spent it, and never sent the customer his snakes. I believe he is clearing the air in regards to that incident but I haven't heard anything since then.
Good luck with your situation, I hope you get a resolution and closure.

I have to concur. It does appear that too much time has passed and there are too many questions left unanswered.
I am not supporting ANYONE. I am pointing to the lack of supported FACTS on the part of the buyer.
