Terry Parks...Awesome and Great Guy!!!

[uf_g8or]

Well, I bought a pair of leucistic Texas ratsnakes from Terry Parks and absolutely love them!! Terry is one of the most professional and honest people I've ever talked to or done business with! He represented his animals extremely well and I was more than satisfied with my purchase. They came well packaged and extremely healthy. He even sent his original receipt with the original breeder of the leucistics. He was extremely fast to answer any and all questions I had and his number one concern was the live arrival and health of the snakes!!

I will definitely be buying from Terry Parks again!! He is highly recommended!!

Thanks Terry!!!

I just purchased several Bairds rat snakes from Terry and I couldn't be happier. Terry is definitely one of the best in the business as far as I'm concerned. I did a search for Terry and this was the first post I found to add comments to. Anyway, without repeating everything in the above message, I'll let these pics speak for themselves... Don't hesitate if thinking of buying from Terry. Without a doubt, he'll definitely get my business again.

Terry is NOT a good guy. PLease read this thread-

before dealing with him.

Isn't it nice to see that he has built a good reputation selling your bairds rat snakes offpring and not share the spoils with you?
Too bad another guy is headed down the wrong path.

Greed is a terrible thing...especially when he touts them as his speciality, when it turns out they were raised to breeding age by someone else...very, very lame.

Terry has shown his generosity & professional expertise verbally on several of our phone conversations we've had,over the last year,& has exhibited a decent reputation amonst elaphe breeders that I personally know,even though we've never met.I put my trust in Terry to a point where I actually purchased a nice group of adult elaphe breeders to help him & another friend of mine in a debt altercation that was resolved with my purchase,& decided to leave the animals bought in the breeding loan care of Terry.I also sent Terry a nice group of texas bairdi,e.meahlmorum & black pine adults to cool down & breed this year.I hope my trust & intuition will result in a successful breeding loan between us so we can remain friends.I feel Terry needs just cause by proving himself on this breeding loan & will keep his word.So lets give him a chance to prove himself before y'all bash him so he can keep up his reputation.GO TERRY!!....Dave Powell,hollywood,fl.

dave, have you even READ this thread?

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66341

Were I you I'd be more worried over whether or not MY snakes were even ALIVE, much less going to breed this year.

The condition in which Kelli recieved them, the fact that he LIED about how many he was shipping back and his TOTAL lack of backbone in explaining what happened means NOTHING to you?

I'd be REAL careful who you back here. I can understand not wanting to irritate someone who may well have sold your animals or just not be taking proper care of them, but you seem a bit over enthusiastic.

Have you seen recent pics of your snakes? Do you know if terry has sold any snakes that bore more than casual resemblance to the snakes you have on breeding loan with him? THESE are the pertinant questions here.

[cthulhu77]

One should hope so...if not, he is guilty of selling merchandise that was not his (theft), and severe mistreatment of animals...I hope that it all turns out to be some sort of fixable situation, but in view of the silence of one party, it seems a little far-fetched, don't you think?

I actually purchased a nice group of adult elaphe breeders to help him & another friend of mine in a debt altercation .

Yes but did you buy Kelli's snakes.

Seems that this may be the answer to the question here. Now it is revealed that he had financial problems. Wouldn't that go right along with his actions as reported by Kelli and the suspicion that he sold snakes that didn't belong to him?

It also seems that Terry has harmed his own reputation enough and doesn't need any help at all. Read http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66341.

Perhaps he should show up here and explain himself, particularly the snakes he "sold" that may have belonged to someone else and the condition of the ones he returned. So long as he does not defend himself here the accusations against him are unimpeached.

Well Dave, he has had plenty of chances to prove himself to us. How many chances should you give a person? I have already listed the reasons for pulling the snakes from him. And look how he shipped the snakes to us? No insulation and not even Priority Overnight. And not to mention he only sent us 5 out of our 12 snakes, and those that we received were mislabeled and mite infested, and dehydrated. Yeah, GO TERRY alright.

[KelliH]

I do want to clarify something. I really do not believe Terry sold my bairdi. I think he still has them. Or they died, one of the two.

Terry, since you are not replying to my emails, I want to say please send my snakes back to me tomorrow. They are special to myself and Stephen and we would like them back here with us. We all fall on hard times at certain points in our lives. You can make this right by sending the rest of the snakes back to me. I will make sure I let everyone know that you did the right thing. Thank you.

Lucky you...if you had purchased her loaned animals, you would have had to return them to be in good conscience, wouldn't you?
Perhaps he has a reason for all of this...I can't imagine what it is going to be, even hard financial times do not validate mites and underfed animals that DONT BELONG TO YOU !

How pathetically sad it is that somebody under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES has treated animals like this and persons who treasured their animals and TRUSTED him to take proper care of them.

Shame on you and EVERYBODY who has SUCH LITTLE RESPECT for the life that God gives us the PRIVILEGE to enjoy and be responsible for.

Since he allowed the animals to SUFFER SO MISERABLY by leaving them untreated with mites AND improperly packaging them, i have a simple solution for ALL the Terrys out there...... :uzi: :uzi: :uzi: :uzi: :uzi:

And for anybody that says he is a stand-up guy or he is a good person because he acted appropriately during a specific interaction with somebody.... that means NOTHING!!!!!!

That is like saying because I didn't kick the dog this morning, that it should not be a big deal that I did yesterday!!! :confused:
