    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Info Beware Randall Gilkerson jr aka Randy potential scammer

Ok then. This may or may not be true but why did you send a male black pastel when it should have been female in trade for the bumble? Why don't you address that one? And do not make threats to me, my friend. You Ruined your own reputation by the last shady deal you made

I DID MAKE ANY THREATS TO YOU,THANK YOU...:thumbsup:
 
What I had meant was telling me to keep your name out of your mouth which by definition is a threat. I didn't say threat of violence. It was a poor request instead of being an adult and professionally asking me to please not make claims upon you that may or may not be true until you are able to prove your innocence. So THANK YOU. Please address your most recent Bad Guy post as I will not be discussing this any further unless discussed in the most recent of claims against you since I know more of that bad deal and is the only reason I posted on this thread in the first place.

I agree with everything he said.I dont think he needs his name soiled when he did nothing wrong.He just asked a few questions.Everyone starts out somewhere.Dont you remember when you first started?

As far as the hets go,I would be very cautious.Heck,I would'nt even buy a het anymore,but as long as you use common sense then you should be able to stay clear of bad "hets".

He didn't say Randy IS a scammer he cautioned saying he is a POTENTIAL scammer and perhaps if I would have read that and used MORE caution then I would not have been SCAMMED by Randy myself. I am now out a $550 breeder bumble bee....and I am stuck with a $76 dollar male black pastel....an UNBELIEVABLE amount of STRESS and a CONSIDERABLE amount of totally unnecessary aggrevation....and an entire day of missed class on Thursday because of this LYING SCAMMER.

Proof is in the other thread. Randy will never man up and respond because he has nothing to say other than to admit he scammed me, which he won't do. People like him have no integrity and therefore in my opinion deserve no respect. I hope people do continue to post about POTENTIAL scammers...because I said just because someone hasn't scammed someone YET doesn't mean they won't. The OP was right in posting this thread....too bad I didn't heed warning earlier.

This thread was a warning and there were people on here that went to bat for you and stood up for you!!! They told the OP that it was unnecessary and that yould should not be judged....well GUESS WHAT RANDY?? I read this thread and I gave you the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT!!!......YES Randy YOU ARE THE BAD GUY HERE!

If you want to go ask how the heck you are the bad guy go to the other thread and feel free to defend yourself because you have quite the audience including myself that would just LOVE to hear your explaination as to WHY YOU DID THIS TO ME. Go ahead Randy...we are ALL waiting.....here is a link for your convenience..............

Typical newbie dumb:censored:!!!

Wow....

Not to beat the dead horse here. Guy, all I have to say is this is kind of an embarrassment. More so for other Ohioan reptile breeders, than yourself. I took pride in being an Ohioan breeder. This is just an eyesore, or pimple, on that pride.

An RI takes some time to develop. It's not going to develop during the overnight shipping it goes through. I can guarantee it's not an RI. It's been stated before by others... the snake is in a pretty irritable mood to begin with by being stuffed in an uncomfortable bag, crammed into a box, and pretty much tossed around for hours. I'd be pretty vocal too.

Do yourself and everyone else a favor. Man up, and swap snakes back. Maybe after that, you can salvage something slightly resembling a decent reputation. I can tell you this. With just starting out, and pulling this right from the get go, that'll be the hardest part is salvaging much from this event. Especially due to this not being a mistake. Mistakes are forgivable, and everybody makes one sometime.... scams aren't.
 
This herp guy,you talk alot of sh_t
I ship first most of the.time so you call me a scammer.. Well I say your a no ball having punk

Randal I unfriended you and then I blocked you
you tell me I do not have basketballs.
Your buddy says I should say things directly to your "face"
At your friend's request, I UNblocked you from my facebook.
What happened? Why did you turn around only to block me?
Did you finally do some research and you found out who I am? :rofl:
 
Randy is a liar. He does not ship first. EVER. In fact, he just asked me via text LAST WEEK if we want to 'switch back'.....but he said he would not ship first. Does he think I am an IDIOT???? #1 he doesn't even HAVE my bumble bee anymore. And #2 yes, I still have his MALE back pastel and I wouldn't put that snake back in his care for ANYTHING.

He said he would send me $200 to make up for the difference in the bad trade deal but I have not seen a dime. He is a liar and a scammer. It would have been great for him to hold true to his word, but no, he doesn't know how right his wrong. He has no clue how to man up and do the right thing. And to think i was actually going to give him a chance to fix this....what was I thinking? :shrug01::shrug01::shrug01:
