Just for fun, I wanted to add these emails. They came from someone named Jim Hawk, who is defending Denny. This is the guy who had me sex 11 Hognose snakes, and had ordered a good number of animals that totals to several thousand dollars. There were about 20 emails going back and forth, but I'll only post a couple here

So, you'd like to order 11 baby Hognose snakes, the young adult male Pinstripe Ball Python and a pair of baby Granite Burmese Pythons? If this is correct, give me your zip code so I can figure the shipping and I'll give you a grand total. We can go from there.
Thanks, Ken

From him, and my reply
One last question…
Would you happen to have any Green Tree Pythons, which I’m especially interested in….or other high-end exotics snake that I may have missed in your collection?

The hognose are from 3 separate unrelated clutches. The Hogs, the Burms and the Pinstripe ball, plus shipping comes to $1,591. Give us a call if you'd like to arrange payment and shipping.

I skipped a bunch that really don't matter, and pick it up with his reply to me trying to settle the deal with him
Well, I would want 1.3….
However, can you explain the bad reviews on
http://www.Yelp.Com ? Especially the recent one posted by a fellow war Vet I know personally? (Joe Hatcher - he posted his picture that’s why I know it’s him).
If this story is false or misleading, then please advise ASAP and we may move forward….otherwise, the deal is off.

He verified that it was Hatcher, and I replied

They were sexed. I put them in the same container. I can't help it that he can't sex them or tell them apart. I guaranteed him they are a sexed pair. Look, when I buy a pair of snakes, the first thing I do is sex them to make sure I got what I paid for. I'm sure you will do the same thing if I send you 11 female Hognose snakes. I took the time to sex about 30 of them to make sure I had 11 females before I contacted you to make sure I did. That's my job. I would expect you'll double check them when you get them. That's your job. I can't help it if he can't sex them. It's a simple task that takes about 20 seconds to do. I offered to have him send them back and I'd refund his money. He wanted me to pay the shipping. I refused. He wanted me to pay $40 to have someone sex them for him. I refused. That's where it sits. He threatened to do just what he's done, and I told him to have fun. I refuse to be blackmailed, or to take responsibility doing something wrong when I did nothing wrong. That's about it.

Ken,
After the 1st email response from you I was swayed, after the 2nd I am convinced….you took advantage of an beginner enthusiast.
I, too, am a (small time) breeder / hobbyist. I ship all animals separately and clearly marked, unless the customer requests they are shipped together…..which is “extremely” rare.
I have sold to Joe at a few shows. He limps on a prosthetic leg, feeds his snakes with a prosthetic arm and has no hearing In his right ear….all because he “enlisted during the draft” to go fight FOR YOU AND ME in Vietnam. I fought too, that’s why I’m so passionate towards his dilemma.
If you will not pay Joe’s sexing fee, or his return shipping, then I believe you are taking advantage of him and I also cannot do business with you.
I sent this final email to him, and we have not contacted each other again. It appears that the emails were all sent from Joe's email address that he listed on this thread:
Jim, that's your choice. I have never taken advantage of anyone in my life, and I never will. Sorry you think otherwise. Also, I had no clue that he was a vet, nor should it really matter in this instance. I do appriciate what all vets have done for us, but that still has nothing to do with this. Anyway, that's ok. Tell Joe you would not buy anything from me, and that will make his day I'm sure. In the meantime, I'll sell the animals to someone else. This does not break or make me. Just another day on the job. I do wish you the very best. Take care.
Thanks, Ken
