This Gentleman mis-represented a Ridley as a female, after asking him twice to be sure of the sex, it was a male. All attempts to deal with him has prove a waste of time. People like this are not needed and should not be tolerated, it's hard enuf fighting area goverments to allow us just to keep reptiles, and it's a shame that this is becoming an all to common practice for our so called herp community. I've been a fixture in the community since the early eighties and it's not been by doing business like this.
By the way, he has supposedly moved, if anyone can confirm this or tell me where he is located, i'd love to pay him a visit since I'm in Michigan quite often and would love to discuss this in person.

But I have all tomorrow off. If you can e-mail me your address, I will ship the snake out as soon as I wake up tomorrow. Sorry,

Amy,
The snake is on it's way. Remember to be careful when you get her out of the bag. She will not be happy, and probably quite thirsty. Let me know when she arrives. Here is your tracking number.

Got a problem Jeff, I didn't pay 250.00 for a male I don't need ( as seen in the PICS) .I had my concerns about this snake when I un bagged it, but gave you the benefit of the doubt and put it with my females since it was supposed to be one, and unplugged him from one prior to this PIC. So we need to come to a solution about this pretty quick since I asked you twice if you were sure it was a female. So I need some kind of refund or would just as soon send it back because I don't need any other males and 250.00 is way to much for a male. Rob Zerkle614-886-1229

Are you going to contact us or are you going to screw us with this deal? Let me know so I know what action to take. Amy 10/15/07 Amy, im so sorry about the mistake. I could have sworn it was female. I should have probed it to make sure when you asked though. Sorry i didn't respond earlier, i have been moving and unable to check my e mail. I will be sending a money order for 250 tomorrow morning. Again, sorry for the mistake. Let me know if you want to ship it back. Thanks jeff

Jeff it was just such a shock i had the girls in one cage males in the other-
the last thing i wanted was copulating just before brumating them- now i am worried about cooling her.I will ship him overnight as soon as it arrives- first I will check to be sure someone will be there to accept the parcel.Thank you for your understanding and cooperation Amy 10/22/07 Jeff when did you send it -hasnt arrived Amy 10/28/07 I'm going to assume that since I've seen no check and that you've not tried to contact me after you have my E-mail address and my phone number that you have no intentions of making good on our deal involving this mis-sexed ridleyi. We've waited until 10/28/07 for a check that never came ( they one you said you were sending out tomorrow (10/16/07) from your above letter, so the only recourse is to do everything we can to try and make sure that no one else gets screwed over on another deal with you. If we don't hear from you by tomorrow (10/29/07) we'll spread your name and info on all the boards and sites to be careful dealing with you. We haven't been in this business since the mid- eighties by screwing people over on animal deals, and I don't appreciated having it done to me. Rob & Amy Zerkle 614-492-8415 614-886-1229
