    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.

    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....

My business is strong, and ALL MY ANIMALS are advertised all the issues past have been cleaned up...
There is no stealing photos...
There WAS tho... Cleaning up past issues? I assume apologies were sent to those that had their photos pirated?

I wish you all the best if you are seeking to maintain a legit biz. I am one that DOES have ideas about what I post. I don't usually post unless I'm certain beyond doubt. I have been wrong before tho and felt foolish.. and so made apologies.

Yet to see explanation about the mislabeling of a certain vanilla bp morph....
 
Yet one more lie by Randy Lemacks. I actually picked up this snake for him June 2010 from Ben Siegel and picked her out personally when I bought my pewter. She weighed almost 7-- grams at the time of purchase, which Ben can verify to anyone. He also paid $650 for her in June.. now he wants 1000 for her. But he also lied and says he raised her from a hatchling. And for the record, I copied and pasted this ad directly off kingsnake.com. But according to Randy, I am the bad "ex partner". Funny how no one ever accuses me of lying and my feedback is all positive....

If fed properly she will go later this season for sure!!

I raised this girl from a hatchling originally bought from Ben Seigel.
She has been great, just no need for her in my future plans as I will have a clutch of killer bee, bumble bees, ect this year..

She eats small Rats live.

Well I actually inquired to Randy about his bumblebee female and requested more pics of her because in my opinion his pictures are too bright and you cant tell the snakes true colors. And I would think as a potential customer that a picture request is not that big of a deal.
Randy replied: "The pictures are fine" Soooo needless to say that is the end of that deal for me.
Just found it hard to believe that is how a potential customer is treated.
 
Contrary to some of the other posts on here about Randy, I actually had a good experience with him And was able to purchase a quality animal at a great price. I would do business with him again...
 
Thanks Jonas!!
I have tried to play nice, and just ignor her comments on EVERY post I put on here but it is getting out of hand and simply rediculous!!!
If you know anything about psychiatry, you know that if a person says negative and bad things about your EVERY post they just have it out for you and should be ignored and disregarded!!
I am in this business like everyone one else, to raise, breed and sell captive bred quality ball pythons.
I did NOTHING to this woman to deserve these attacks at my name and business.

Sure we had a disagreement/argument and went our seperate ways. However WHO...really, WHO makes negative comments on EVERY SINGLE post you put up UNLESS they just have it out for you to stamp you with a bad rep and/or jealousy???
That's what all this is about and boils down to!!

"Snakemami" is obviously pissed at me yes for what? I don't know, I forget and move on! We were really good friends for 10 years and it comes to this??

I tried my best to avoid stooping to HER level but she is relentless and just won't stop therefore I have to say my 2 cents worth. I do NOT "modify" my pictures it's called a "flash" people... Do you honestly think I would seriously want a bad rep by sending someone a guaranteed snake that looked nothing like the picture? NO...I would end up taking it back and THEN I would have a bad rep and lost sales..
We all deal with things our own ways, and for "Snakemami" hers way is to try and make me look like the biggest lier, and try and give me the worst rep in the "Fauna board" which is starting to be as bad and as juvenile as Myspace.

Here's my theory...If you want to join the drama club with "Snakemami" and believe all here comments and lies about me because of her grudge. Then so be it, don't buy my snakes period the end! There are plenty of others to buy from. Seems like she is emailing everyone on here to "test" me so they can write a negative post along with her..Again that's your option, for me, I don't have time for the BS and games nor do I care to put anyone under the bus. I will continue to do business in the field I love and breed and sell captive bred ball pythons! I have had no problems and nothing but positive feedback from ALL my customers!!!

Best of luck to you all in this upcoming breeding season!!!

Sincerely,

Funny story you tell

Here is my response Randy to you. Let's see what you have to say now?
Thanks Jonas!!
I have tried to play nice, and just ignor her comments on EVERY post I put on here but it is getting out of hand and simply rediculous!!! How can I post on everything you have on here when you lock your threads so no one can post. And you started locking your threads when you got called out by Jeremy Smith for posting a lesser x BEL which was really a super mojo.
If you know anything about psychiatry, you know that if a person says negative and bad things about your EVERY post they just have it out for you and should be ignored and disregarded!! I don't think anyone feels I should be ignored and disregarded when I am trying to warn them against your obvious lies and deception. In fact, it was on another board that you were called out for stealing other photos and lying about snakes you have purchased. That is just the truth.
I am in this business like everyone one else, to raise, breed and sell captive bred quality ball pythons. Randy, let's be honest, until I invited you to be a part of my already started business in June 2010, you didn't even own 1 snake at that point. Everything you have has been amassed since June and you continue to post about things you have produced, when really you are just flipping things you have recently bought and sold. And that is fine as long as you stop lying in your posts about producing the animals and just be honest. Also, stop lying about animals being more than they are, like pastel vanilla vs super vs desert pastel vanilla. I have all the screen shots to prove it so be careful what you rebute. Other things like saying you have a proven lesser male, when Mark Batch replies back that it was not proven when he sold it to you and you certainly had no time to prove it out in the time you owned it. Or how about that you purchased that bee from Ben S in June when I went to S Fl and picked it out, yet you say you raised it from a hatchling.. Well if you put over 900 grams on weight on it in 4 months then I will bow down to you.But since I have the paperwork and emails with Ben proving that I picked it up in June, how do you explain lying and saying you have had it since a hatchling?
I did NOTHING to this woman to deserve these attacks at my name and business. Oh really? How about screaming and yelling at me the day after I lost my job telling me that I should be spending all day online looking for snakes for the business when I thought it would be better to look for employment so that I could make the mortgage payment. I would think that would be something big that upset me tremendously.

Sure we had a disagreement/argument and went our seperate ways. However WHO...really, WHO makes negative comments on EVERY SINGLE post you put up UNLESS they just have it out for you to stamp you with a bad rep and/or jealousy??? Randy, I only started to comment on your posts when I saw that you were blatently lying about the animals. You developed your bad rep all on your own. The way you talk to people, the things you say to potential buyers....
That's what all this is about and boils down to!!

"Snakemami" is obviously pissed at me yes for what? I don't know, I forget and move on! We were really good friends for 10 years and it comes to this??We weren't really good friends for 10 years... We knew each other for 10 years, but we hadn't talked in forever. It wasn't until I warned you about a mutual fb person that we started talking again. And when you heard I started a small scale breeding business you salivated at the mouth to start it up with me. How many clutches of snakes have you actually produced in the last 2 years? And I am pissed at your behavior and that you would try to deceive people in what they are purchasing from you. That makes for a bad rep all right. What name would I have in this business if I chose to say nothing at all.. I would do it on anyone's post if I knew they were being deceptive.

I tried my best to avoid stooping to HER level but she is relentless and just won't stop therefore I have to say my 2 cents worth. I do NOT "modify" my pictures it's called a "flash" people... Do you honestly think I would seriously want a bad rep by sending someone a guaranteed snake that looked nothing like the picture? NO...I would end up taking it back and THEN I would have a bad rep and lost sales..
We all deal with things our own ways, and for "Snakemami" hers way is to try and make me look like the biggest lier, and try and give me the worst rep in the "Fauna board" which is starting to be as bad and as juvenile as Myspace.
I am glad you think it's juvenile like myspace. For me, I find this board to be extremely useful. It has helped me weed out the people I want to do business with vs the people I don't want to do business with. I would think that people come here mostly for the same reason I do. If you notice, I have never started a thread about you either. I would have started a bad guy thread about you if I was trying to be vindictive, hold a grudge and make you look bad. All I have done was simply respond to threads already posted by other people with the truth. Find one instance of where I have lied about you and I will apologize to you in writing.
Here's my theory...If you want to join the drama club with "Snakemami" and believe all here comments and lies about me because of her grudge. What grudge? Stop lying about what you are selling and I won't say another word about anything you post. It's that simple.. When you clean up your act, then you can be considered reputable. That is all I want. Then so be it, don't buy my snakes period the end! There are plenty of others to buy from. Seems like she is emailing everyone on here to "test" me so they can write a negative post along with her..Again that's your option, for me, I don't have time for the BS and games nor do I care to put anyone under the bus. I will continue to do business in the field I love and breed and sell captive bred ball pythons! I have had no problems and nothing but positive feedback from ALL my customers!!! Again, what's the last thing you produced and when? You didn't own a snake in June 2010 and you haven't produced anything in years. Just because you currently are flipping snakes doesn't make you a good breeder... There is nothing wrong with flipping as long as you are honest about it. But when you mislead, lie, and deceive people about snakes you produce, then I will continue to call you out time and again until people know the truth about what you are selling.

Best of luck to you all in this upcoming breeding season!!!

Sincerely,

I do NOT "modify" my pictures it's called a "flash" people... Do you honestly think I would seriously want a bad rep by sending someone a guaranteed snake that looked nothing like the picture? NO...I would end up taking it back and THEN I would have a bad rep and lost sales..

IF the photos you are sending out because they are too bright and dont accurately portray the colorations of the animal.. then yes. You sending someone a snake that looked nothing like the picture.

I use a flash on every snake photo I take.... and mine represent the animal exactly....why... because I know how to use my photography equipment.

If your photos do not represent the animal accurately.. then you need to 'modify' those images so they do. Doesn't matter if you use a flash or not.
