Tim Cole/Tom Crutchfield true friends.

I entered in to a deal with Tim months ago where he got a pr of snakes she was gravid at the time.I was worried I would not get my pr of babies and was an idiot.Tim paid a good amount for the snakes I did not want to sell.I had not been able to contact him through email and got worried.We made contact today and He gave me all the babies as well as made a deal with me to get the adults back as well.So he gave me back the adults as well as the babies.I am a 250 pound biker and I was crying in tears.It has been a hard year and I never expected such heart felt generosity .I have some of the best friends in the world in the herp world and am proud as hell to call Tim a good guy and a true friend.If you choose to buy an animal from Tim know this he is one of the best.Tom Crutchfield also helped me out this year and is another good guy that I would advise to use .Over any one else I would use these guys period.Well I have to also add Randal Berry he puts up with every 911 email I give him and has given me some awesome deals on excllent snakes so buy from Randal as well .These guys are the best of the best

Tim's a good guy no doubt.

Might even agree with Randal Berry.

But Tom Crutchfield?...I don't know if I'd go that far. I might purchase something from him, if I saw it in person, but he's been known to stretch facts a bit, so I wouldn't trust him otherwise. (And that's without even holding his distant past against him)

Wow Archie,

I had a feeling it was Tim, only because I know what you deal with from reading about it but, I am SO glad we resolved this a different way. I have NEVER dealt with Tim Cole but I would not hesitate to do so if we happened to have our hobby cross paths one day. He is someone that I have always looked up to.

You most likely do not know Toms true past.I never said he was an angel but a good friend.At this point in time Tom has one of the highest quality herp farms in the world.We all have a past,we all can overcome our past ..Yet if we stand in the past we piss on today and sh## ON THE FUTURE.The truth is that it is time to stand by those who have been true to me as for anyone else I have herd of the occasional bad buyer or bad deal times have changed alot.

You're correct. People can change. I'm living proof. That's why I said "without" holding his past against him.

I do not think it is wise to have two completely different vendors on one BOI thread. Opinions on either of them might differ, and it might be difficult for prospective buyers to sort it all out.

That's correct. We don't want multiple subjects in a single thread. Each one needs to be in a separate topic.
I'm going to lock this thread for now to give you time to copy and paste parts of it into separate threads if you wish, but it will be removed sometime later.
