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.

Is it possible to post what you're claiming Lucille did?

Not sure what you perceived as an uproar or why my bowels are of your concern. If a calm reply challenging your claim is upsetting to you, talk to your therapist, or something
It's on one thread about me somewhere, some body ordered a corn snake, I made a mistake and didn't update the site availability so I apologized and refunded her as soon as I realized the mistake after the weekend. According to her she was persuaded by Lucille to post here and seek compensation for lost wages or something. Anyways I suppose that's hearsay since she said it and not Lucille.

The way I see it, the BOI, and the situations addressed herein, are more relevant to business transactions, than they are to herp keeping itself. Yes, I understand that transactions involving live animals contain elements that make it quite different from, say, doing a return at Target. However, I have noticed that posts which appear to reflect more of a business perspective than a herp keeping perspective, tend to be more logical and on point than those which demonstrate a lack of business knowledge, regardless of that persons experience with herp keeping or selling.
Unlike most traditional businesses, herp selling doesn't require a background in management, sales, customer service, or even knowing how to communicate with others in a civil manner. Many of the subjects of BOI demonstrate that quite well.
Point being, while the input of someone involved in large numbers of herp transactions certainly has value, so does the input of someone with a good sense of business transactions in general, regardless of whether that person buys or sells large numbers of animals.

I think you should forward this PM and my answer to him and ask for a more detailed explanation of what happened and be honest about your disappointment.
If he was actually working in your behalf behind the scenes to try to see if he could get the sold snake back, because it was sold at the same time you bought it, and couldn't, then it's just one of those things, his employee didn't know. But if he forgot to label the snake and it got sold after you paid for it, you have every right to be upset and 10% doesn't get it, you should probably get a free snake and an assurance that the system will be changed so that once paid for, a customer's undelivered snake cannot subsequently be sold to someone else.

Ah, there it is! Yea, I'm going to question your motives and your marbles if you truly think somebody deserves a free snake because of an inventory error.

Thanks for your reply concerning Lucille.
As far as me talking to a therapist, if you'd be so kind, could you give me the info to the therapist you use? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mike!

Ah yes, rather than discuss the topic of the post (Lucille and her credibility) we're going with the "I know you are but what am I" approach. As productive as that sounds, I'll have to pass on that rabbit hole. Have a nice day.

I find Lucille to be a total “class act”.
Plain and simply that.
No fluff.
No bluff, and one with compasion.
I am kinda wondering who this troll is.
Kinda thinking there is a bit more to this.
That said (Lucille please forgive me) I had to bite my tongue to not reply that she sucks.
Rotten humor has taken at least 6 of my lives.
Might have a couple or so more.
Plain and simple she rocks.
All the best.
Andy.

Sure this is just me sticking up for a fellow "BOI warrior" or whatever; but if we're evaluating motives and credibility based on BOI posting habits: Here you go. That's one of a few notable BOI contributions that quickly told me everything I needed to know about the guy.
Lucille plays her games on here, I think. Hell, I think the same can be said for all of us who've really dug into this particular forum. She and I've had our frictions. Overall, I still think she's been a net positive who's consistently gone out of her way to help people - regardless of what may be in it for her. Always just kinda rubbed me the wrong way when I saw someone who apparently uses the site solely for their own profit questioning someone else's motives for posting. With that: BOI OUT!

Very well said, Greg! I couldn't agree more.
