    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Bad Guy Chris Brandenburgh - HEARTLAND HERPS

Scum like this guy and others deserve to die the most horrible of deaths. I put people like this right up there with rapists and murderers. If I ever got ripped off by someone like this you can bet I'd be on the next flight to their front door.

Before joining this sight I didn't even realize that people like this existed in our hobby/community.

I just want to say thanks to all of us that aren't douchebags.
 
Hey I didn't realize there was 30 some pages of this.. I only read the first one and assumed that this guy is ripping people off and stealing pics. If that's not the case the. I apologize. If it is the case then I don't, and he should kill himself. Same goes for all else who rip people off in this hobby.

then you should read the whole story before making threats doosh bag
 
Chris keeps deleting posts when people post a link under his sale ads to this thread.
He then starts a new ad without any of the buyer beware posts in it, and repeats the same process when someone posts one.
You would think that if you were honest you wouldn't delete the posts, and tell people if they have issues to contact you. Why would you hide it from them? It's still here in the BOI...
For your information, Chris, you spelled your insult wrong. It's "douche". I'll trade you a dictionary for that so-called Jolax het axanthic....we'd both get something we need.
 
Not 5 minutes after I posted "Check the BOI" under his other for sale thread...

Who the hell is Steve Kimmel?
And my point is that you clearly have something to hide if you keep deleting your ENTIRE thread and starting a new one when someone references this BOI thread.
Hopefully potential customers will see your negative rating and smell something fishy (you reek of it), and come here to look. Your true colors really shine in this thread, I must say--insulting every one who has a legitimate issue with you. And you tell me I'm bringing out high school drama. (FYI, I'm not in high school, "doosh" bag).
Play nice, and play fair. Didn't your mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?
 
contact the crap starters there emails are posted in here contact them.
they have already admitted to lieing on this post and for being in the wrong
i can also smash steve kimmels claims to pic theft too any one wanting proof can email me
this is his way and several other PAYING members ways to weed out competition and or get the lil guys out of bizz
 
Awww, how nice. Chris PMed me (he must care a lot) and said the following:

You shouldn't be in this business. Good salespeople don't go around sending PM's like that to people, regardless of what was said first.
Or continue to create new threads because other ones had a link the this BOI topic, in the hopes of them not knowing about it.
 
Didn't your mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?
so the kettle called the pot black lmao
no worries tho my ad my be gone anyways i have sevearl potential buyers (FAUNA MEMBERS) that are working out trades with me as we type they have read this thread and belive ive proved my point and they have contacted my referances all across the country and are very happy of what they have herd about me and have recived pics of me holding the snake for sale and pics with my name in the pixs .

you can post what ever you want on my ads and i will delete and repost then i have that right sale ads for for just that sales NOT YOUR PLAYGROUND DRAMA
 
Well good. As long as they know what they could be possibly getting in to--which is why I said "buyer beware", not "Everything posted in the BOI is a fact."
I wanted them to be aware of this thread so they could make an educated decision. If you are telling the truth and have proof that the animal is yours and what you say it is, then they should not be deterred from you at all.
The problem is you aren't giving them a chance to be educated at all. They should have the choice.
I didn't say anything mean, FYI. I simply posted the message you sent me, and my opinion that you shouldn't be in this business if you don't have the best interest of your customers at heart. And by all means, you don't seem to have them.
Good luck selling your animals, and I hope there won't be another bad guy thread after they are sold.

1st they are aware im sure there capable of reading and searching on there own

2nd your not a customer your a thread hijacker my customers get the upmost respect and 24/7 service read my testimonials on my site there very happy even the guy that RIPPED ME OFF lol and is now trying to make effort to rite his wrong if he was allowed to post on here he would tell you him self !!!

3rdly there wont be any more im sure of it this drama site has made me change my practices i no longer send babie pics to ppl with out my name in pictures or any pic for that matter after steve and natalie, anya, jmartin or who ever names she goes by's crap

4thly you jumped to conclusions just like most of the ppl on here you ppl dont want to see proof you see what you want to see fauna used to be about truth not crap slinging drama the first to scream joe blow is a scammer well he must be rite huh heck with hearing both sides he said scammer so lets belive him

5thly truth be told theres only ONE legit boi on me and she posted it because she mis sexed the snakes and never contacted me with in her allotted time frame to dispute it did i post on here about here sending me half dead and dead snakes? NO I DIDNT it comes with the territory crap happens with any long distance shipping
fyi- i have a good guy post as well on here and dozens of references ppl are free to contact to clear up any doubt

6thly this day and age proof is everything i save emails text messages voice mails document everything now this is how i proved leatherman wrong and can do the same with steve but he sees what he wants too and refuses any help from me on the picture matter so he can belive what ever he wants... lol ive herd a few storys about him as well thru the grape vine i took the hear say at face value hear say till he posted a bogus thread and verifyed there words to me him self lol
 
Dude...let it go. You're being a little baby. Stop sending me angry PM's with childish insults and cursing, stop deleting and recreating your threads because someone links it to the BOI, stop spamming "I have proof" if you're not going to post any.
Grow...up.
I never said anything in this thread was true, either. I simply posted my opinion based on your snooty, childish, inflammatory responses. For all I know, you are right, and for all I know, you are wrong. Your customers have the right to know what has happened here, and if you're right, they'll understand that I am wrong and the claims are illegitimate and you have proof. Then you gain rep, and we all lose a chunk.
Grow...up. (again)
Have a good evening.
 
post your proof
and keep in mind i have the pm's too and any mod can look at your account and read them as well so theres no need to lie about multiple insult pm;s i sent you .....there was one!!
