    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

This Has Disaster Written All Over It.has Anyone Had Any Dealings With Andre Gennaro From Oshkosh,wisconsin.i Would Like To Give This 14 Year Old Fella A Chance,but Would Like To Hear A Little Feed Back Also.thanks Ed Clark
 
My advice would be to deal directly with his parents. You will have limited recourse over a deal gone bad with a juvenile.
 
I say as long as your dealing with his parents, I see no harm in it since than if the deal does go wrong legal action would be dealt with fairly.
 
I purchased a large incubator and 5 female ball pythons from Andre today, and I'm very pleased. The incubator is very well made and includes a plexiglass window in the front as well as a built-in fan. It will be perfect for my needs this fall. The female ball pythons range from 800g to 1300g and all appear outwardly very healthy with no mites, ticks, scale problems, or RI's, and they have crystal clear eyes. He and his dad were nice enough to drive everything 2 hours down to me here by Madison due to me having had surgery 2 days ago and not being up for the drive myself. I would definitely do business with Andre again and recommend him (and his parents) highly!
 
I was going to buy the females that Jen bought but the last time I really talked to Andre he was having the RI problems. I'm glad they're healthy and you got them Jen although I wish I would have taken the chance. :p
 
I read the posts about his RI problems from 6-7 months ago -- he must have treated them or they cleared up because none of the animals are exhibiting any signs of illness at all. :thumbsup:
 
I say give the guy a chance, kids often produce and represent animals the best. Why, because they have everything to lose and nothing to gain. There's a lot of scum in the reptile world, and new breeders, whatever their age, deserve business for their hard work. I bred my first snakes at 15, so I can relate.

I would say though that talking with his parents would be a good idea. Both in buying and selling when I started out I often had people talk to my parents, helps sometimes.

Andre good luck man, I don't know anything about you, but I wish you the best!
 
Hey Ed,

I know Andre from another forum, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy a ball from him. I am an upcoming breeder also, 14. And, i would rather you talk to my parents anyway, because they are the ones that will have the FedEx account in there names. And just to make sure its a good deal. :iagree:
 
This Thread would Kick asss! If it wasnt a year old already..
Ed. Leave those 14 year olds ALONE! for once..
 
Ed hasn't posted to this thread in over a year - why drag his name into it?
As for the age of the thread - this is the BOI, and use of existing threads is encouraged. Jen was simply following the TOS.

He started the thread, so effectively he brought his own name into it; perhaps some of the folks replying to the thread never saw it the first time and didn't bother checking the date before giving him their input?
