As I look at the BOI, it's pretty sad that there are so many "Bad Guy" posts. I guess it's a sad fact that if there's money involved in a situation, people will try to cheat.
Soooo......I thought I'd put my two cents in on a guy who is one of the better people I've dealt with in my 40 years on the hobby.
I know Steve Osborne is one of the better known breeders in the US, but I just got a baby Gila from him, and it couldn't have gone better if I bought it from my own brother.
First, the Gila is amazing. Huge, gorgeous, eats great, super healthy, and if he grows up to look anything like his parents, he could be a movie star.
Second, there was a partial trade involved, and I screwed my end up twice. Nothing to get too crazy about, but through the whole transaction, Steve was the complete gentleman, never complaining, just cool calm and breezy.
If anyone ever sees and likes an animal Steve is selling, don't hesitate for a moment. I'd do business again with Pro Breeders in a heartbeat.
