BEWARE.. Ballboutique (Rick Denmon) FALSE ADVERTISING!!

Quote JasBalls:
The point is He said they are kink free. He was wrong one of them is kinked.

You are correct John. At least one of them is kinked as we can tell from the pics. Rick could say that the three Caramels he is still selling are "kink free," but not that they are from a "kink free line." Especially when they are the offspring of two different lines.
He was wrong and has corrected his ad.

Yeah, he's corrected the ad, but putting it up in the first place is the problem. There's only two explanations for the original ad:
1) He was purposely being deceptive and leading people to believe that the caramels were from a kink free line. He may have even been trying to sell the kinked animal.
2) He's so negligent in his care of his animals he didn't even realize that the animal had a kink until it was brought to his attention here in the BOI.

I personally don't buy theory number 2, even with his whole cataract surgery excuse. That animal SCREAMS kink! It's impossible for someone not to notice that with just the minimal amount of attention and care. I mean, he was able to take a picture of the animal, somewhat in focus, right? That means his eyesight was good enough to notice the GLARING birth defect.

So, that means that he must have placed the ad knowing that there WAS a kinked animal produced in the clutch, but still states that the clutch was kink-free.

That's incredibly dishonest.

Sorry I didn't just show up with a noose in one hand and a rock in the other, Maybe next time.

I am all for giving people the benefit of the doubt -- deceptive selling is not something new for rick.

I will tell you what is sad. That they were in your care for "eleven days" and you never seen the kink in all that time. Pretty sad and pretty telling.

Because if you did notice it in that 11 days, one would think an honest caring man like yourself would have immediately came and changed that ad.

I'm curious. As a non-Ball Python person, why the animosity towards Rick? I remember he bought some animals from Joe Capone (not good...I agree) but has anyone actually had a problem with his animals?

This is not support, just genuine curiosity

I'm sure he read it. I don't want to speak for him, but I'm guessing he didn't believe you. I know I didn't.

I know I didn't either. I could see you missing a slight kink. But that one, that was not a slight kink.

a few folks dislike me Jas, Tosa, plus her friend Gail Thorpe and a few others..... They want to put me out of business.....simple.
The funny thing is I have a great trader rating.....and some folks emailed me about this thread.
I could have come in and reported a guy who sent me two animals......yep the wrong ones. I paid for say pastels and i received pastels....I worked it out with him and moved on. I received an animal in a USED bag.....kept mouth shut. Also received animals without heat bag! Kept mouth shut....I don't need to bash people but folks need to do that.
My eye site is still not 100% but getting there.
I could write a book of facts and when reading it you would think it is fiction!

Oh BTW I am no longer friends with nor wish to be with Joe Capone. I missed judge him all together.
Most folks ignore the boi as far as I my business is concerned.
i know with this post more flames will start.....after all most of their lives are boring.....
To all have a great day!
