DAN BIFIELD! HORRIBLE BUSINESS ETHICS!!!

So, what do we all suspect the odds are that a guy with these types of husbandry and shipping practices has fake DH snows available?  From what I've read so far, it wouldn't surprise me if the DH simply stood for "double headache" in a few years when the genetics don't prove out.

Matthew,

I have e-mailed Dan Directly and told him he needs to handle this situation immediately. I hope he at least e-mails you privately or posts on here and makes things right. spam_He had a problem with a person who sold him something that was sick and made it a point to address the problem on Kingsnake in the classifieds and not on here. I hope he takes the ball now and runs with it as it is in his court.

Matt.... Your first clue was the shipping charges! If anybody ever has the nerve to tell me the shipping will be $200! I'd tell them to take that deal and put it where the sun don't shine! You think that's the ONLY adult albino boa around? I could give you a list of about a dozen adult female albino boas for sale RIGHT NOW! And for A LOT LESS than what YOU paid! Are you nuts? And you "bought" that shipping rate? A personal courrier wouldn't charge that much!
Before you sent this guy $3800, did you, at least, talk to him ON THE PHONE?

Matt.... I'll say it AGAIN!

If you haven't seen the snake.... KNOW THE DEALER!
KNOW THE DEALER! KNOW THE DEALER!

Get the point, yet?

Just for the record, though.... IF packaged correctly, you can EASILY ship a large and small snake in the same box! You put the large one in a snake bag, and you put the small one in a Rubbermade container so it can't be squished! How easy is that? ....Neil

Neil, do you really think i need to be harrassed by you in that manner? &nbsp;Give me a break! &nbsp;Obviously we spoke on the phone before sending the money. &nbsp;That snake was supposed to be shipped delta! &nbsp;I expected it to cost alot. I do however know how to package animals, and i know that Dan should not have 2 animals of that size together. &nbsp;You are correct, if they were shipped with the SMALLER snake in a rubber maid, it would have been fine. &nbsp;However, Dan felt it was ok to ship them on top of one another, in 2 individual sacks. &nbsp;NO rubbermaid container. &nbsp;Im shocked that the animals are even alive at this point. &nbsp;They sat on the porch in the SUN all friggin day! &nbsp;Dan isnt even big enough to e-mail me, or answer the phone. &nbsp;He even went to the lengths to threaten and send some of his buddies to Jeremy's house. &nbsp;Real cute Dan, real cute.....

Neil, if you have contacts for albino boas, e-mail me. &nbsp;Jeremy wants an adult, or subadult male albino.

Thanks, Matt.

Matt.... I'm not mad at you? I just get frustrated to no end when I see good people getting ripped off for so much money? At least the snakes made it out alive! I just can't believe the nerve of Dan to ship them Airborne, when he got $200 for Delta (whch is STILL WAY overpriced&#33<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>.... and not telling you!
And now he won't answer his emails or phone? VERY professional, Dan! I think you've got a lot of explaining to do?

Matt.... send me a private email with YOUR email addy, I'll make some calls and get back to you TODAY with some numbers!! I won't be able to get you pictures, though, but, they will be CLEARLY described! ....Neil

Dan Bifield &nbsp;
Can we say rip -off
Gee Dan Why am I speaking, well I'll tell you why...

You are a [expletive]

I take threats{to anyone honest] very seriously and will react to them!!!
because you slighted Jeremy and he calls you out , so you threaten him
bad boy [yer not a man]
with the GLHS getting back on track , can we see Dan as a member.....NOT!!!!
Hey Greg &nbsp;Contact Danny Mendez , He sell Nutribac and that would probably help with your snake

I was going to leave this one alone but it couldn't happen to a better guy. I attempted to do a trade with Dan last year. I was sending him a snake for a kitten for my kids for Christmas. I told him I didn't want the kitten until right before Christmas. I sent him a snake that I got in a trade and did not verify the sex. It was mis-sexed. I offered for him to ship the animal back at my expense and he said he would keep it anyway and still do the trade. 3 days before Christmas he decided that I wasn't worth the effort of shipping the cat to me. He had never shipped a cat before and wanted me to set it all up for him. I did that and he still failed to ship the cat. After Christmas I asked him to ship the snake back to me. He refused to do it unless I paid for the shipping. I felt since it was him who had the snake for over a month when he decided not to do the trade that he should pay for it. After continually refusing to ship it I sent him a money order for $40 to ship it back. For weeks he still refused to ship the snake back. Finally I asked someone local to get involved and after they put some pressure on him he took the snake to them so they could ship it back to me. When they got the snake they said it looked like he had been soaking it in mineral oil. Dan is 32 years old, divorced twice and as of last Dec was dating a senior in high school. He is a low life and I can't say I am surprised to hear about his business ethics. If you have gotten anything from him I would put in in lifelong quarantine. He told me on a regular basis throughout our conversations that he was not a snake guy he was a mammal guy. The snakes meant nothing to him except for attempted income. He is apparently selling off his stuff because breeding snakes was a little more involved than putting two cats in a cage together. Webster defines LOSER as.....Dan Bifield.

Well, Dan still does not reply to phone calls, or e-mail. &nbsp;I noticed he was selling several exotic cats on kingsnake, and i have notified them of this thread. &nbsp;I hope that they will remove his ads, and discontinue his services until he responds to his mistakes. &nbsp;I also know that he is selling his cats in some florida news paper, id like anybody in florida to take a minute of their time, and check the classifieds for me. &nbsp;If you do happen to come across his ads, then please e-mail me the name of the paper, and contacts. &nbsp;I want everyone to be aware of his behavior, and bad practices.

Thanks, Matt.

why doesnt someone call griff the person in law enforcement that dan uses as a reference..is this the same guy?
maybe he can put some pressure on dan since he allows dan to use his name as a customer

Well this guy is a real piece of work.
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Greg, well to your sick snake i know you said it would go back to Florida, but I hate to see that happen because he obviously does not care about these animals and if you ship it back imagine the life it would &nbsp;have. &nbsp;If she gets better and holds a meal down even if she doesn't she will have a better life in your care for aomeone who does care.
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Also, isn't dating a high school senior called statutory rape? &nbsp;He is most deffinatley a loser! <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As a person who has exotic cats I will keep his name in mind and pass it along to those I know. &nbsp;Hopefully his cats are well taken care of, I can only hope so I can sleep at night without dwelling over it.
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Matthew, he should most definatley give you ALL your money back plus shipping! &nbsp;As for the sanke I have to say I am happy with someone who does care for her well being. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Well, good luck to everyone that has had dealings with this guy and thank you for the "BUYERS BEWARE"!!!!! <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
