    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 a.fisher or Amanda Deckard Reptile Flipper

Oh also I forgot Amanda let my friend take pics because she asked if she could put the pics up on a couple of forums she goes to to get help and advice with the boa and she was ok with that.
 
Jessica, I want to hear Amanda's take on all this. Did you notify her via email as you said you would?
 
Got any other photos? That poor snake does look just terrible. Any photos of the dogs, other sick, neglected animals, filthy cages?

Yes i did i put that in my first post on the BOI.

I never thought I be putting up a bad guy thread but I think people need to be warned. I was going back and forth about if this is a bad guy post or not. But there's a lot of things that Amanda is doing that I've seen to warrant a bad guy post.

Her name is Amanda Deckard or Amanda Fisher as she goes by both names. Her email on here is [email protected]. Her phone number is 417-522-5395. She lives in a house off Warren st. in Springfield Mo. Her ID name is a.fisher here on Fauna. She got for free two boas from a good friend of mine (who was her friend until she saw what she was doing) less than month ago is flipping them now on craigslist. Animal Control was called to her place for this also. She doesn't practice good husbandry skills for her reptiles. Most have mites or URI. What she buys goes strait to her reptile room with the others with mites and URI. She buys for cheap, trades or gets a reptiles off here on a spur of the moment situations. Then realizes this is not what she wants or gets bored of them and flips them on here or on craigslist. They live in filthy filthy conditions. This is not how you want your reptiles ending up or going to or buying off of. I was with my friend at Amanda's house the day my friend took these pics with her cell phone and thought I'd share them of how she takes care of her reptiles. My friend offered to help her out and have this boa put to sleep but she refused saying "she knew what she was doing". That is her response to everything if you try to help her. Or My friend has been doing this X amount of years with out problems. Which just causes endless suffering for the reptile because she don't know anything of how to take care of reptiles. This boa in the pictures had babies. It's a wonder she didn't die giving birth. Only 3 babies survived the rest was dead. What a waste. Is this is how your reptiles will end up if you let them go to her? Is that what you want for them? A life of suffering? The pics speak volumes Amanda. How do you sleep at night doing this? She will end up killing your reptile or reptiles or they will end up back on here in a day, week or month or two spreading who ever the others have in that reptiles room. I will be sending her a email shortly after I post this. Also I apologize for not answering fast after i post this has I have work and school. But I will be back on to answer all questions very soon.

Here's the pics:

Just FYI, my post was just stating my opinion that if this situation has truth behind it, then it deserves a place on the BOI. I, too, wish to hear the other side of this story, and have yet to pass judgement, and will not until something is proven.
Awaiting Amanda's reply.
 
Yes and without the other side of the story there's really no argument which means each reader of this thread will have to decide how to take this for themselves. Has anyone talked to Amanda at all to even see if she knows about this? I know you say you told her but did she reply back to you?
 
Yes i did i put that in my first post on the BOI.

Jessica

I am getting old and feeble but I did read that, your first post indicated that you WERE going to send it. If you indeed DID send it, I'd like you to please copy and post it here, both to show that it was sent and also to see just how you crafted the invitation.
 
As you asked

Thanks Jessica, now either Amanda responds or the lack of her appearance speaks volumes! One question though, does Amanda know of this site and is she registered? just wondering as that would make it difficult to respond on a site you don't even know about.
 
I hope i answered all your questions. I'm not going to be able to post till the morning I have a overnight job. So I'll answer any and all questions in the morning or if I can some how can get on a computer in between brakes.
 
The pics was taken by Natalie Beacom and it is one of the newer snakes I have.The person I got her from had her with a male before I bought her for $125 and ended up being gravid in which with some snakes go off feed while gravid.The pics was taken after she had her babies which she went over due having.And I would be more than happy to post pics of some of my other snakes or text some pics of my set-up to anybody interested.And if anybody has any other questions they can get ahold of me.And the only reason his started is because I would not give Natalie this snake in question for free to get back to health after giving birth.And if anybody would be interested in researching the name Natalie Beacom on here there is plenty of BOI posts on her.
 
I'd be interested in hearing your point of view on the other allegations-
-lack of quarantine time
-skinny dogs in the yard
-unclean living conditions
-selling newly acquired animals in less than a week
-water bowls empty or dirty
-animal control incidents?

Yeah, I have already been told twice from people unrelated to you that Jessica was Natalie. I didn't have any concrete proof. Considering there is noway that you could have had any knowledge of this, I am going to say that's just not another coincidence.

So, I banning that User name. "Jessica", wish to disagree? Send a copy of your Driver's License.

Hmmm and the plot thickens.:confused: Can she have a "grace" period to post it here? I am now intrigued by this latest turn.
 
Here are some pics of some of the other snakes I have and I will add more later as well including some of my dogs(which the one in question being skinny is due to her having worms and is currently being treated by meds and she is a older dog)and will include pics of my reptile set-ups.The ball in the first pic is one I bought as a baby at the pet store in 04 and had in the past traded to Natalie in part of a trade for the red tail in the second pic,within 2 months it had made it through 2 other people.So I talked to the guy that had just got it and worked out a deal with him to get her back.After asking Natalie why she flipped it so fast she said that she had sent it to a friends house to breed with a male he had and he got rid of the snake behind her back.
