    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....

Granted, it's been a long time since I have even looked at a GTP....but that Biak looks pretty bad in each of the photos posted. The spine seems overly prominent and ridged, to me. (If more experienced GTP keepers think it looks fine, forget I was even here)

:iagree:
that poor thing was on death's door, the spine should not be sticking up that far (not to mention those nasty blisters)

I pmed you. He can email at his convenience. I am not often really angry, I am now. Poor kid can't even buy himself a birthday gift on his birthday.

you guys are all great people! ken, i dont think he meets the age requirement yet but perhaps you could talk with him for a future job with you..!
 
While it's great to see members concerned about other people, finding Josh a job is not relevant to this thread.

It sadness me to think he would write this about us when we have done so much for him

You make me want to puke, you know that? I'm going to call and email this thread to a bunch of people in Las Vegas tomorrow, and let them draw their own conclusions.
You wouldn't even let the kid BUY his own birthday gift? You apparently fired him for telling the truth? Feh! :hot:
 
This may be off topic but, I have noticed how Thesnake Shop sells a lot of animals I've seen posted on cl. I have also personally talk to a few people that contacted me while they were in the process of selling to them and wanted to know if they were getting a fair offer.

Fair Offer? If these were the dying animals, they were lucky to sell at all. :ack2:

But that's probably not your point... Carry on...
 
RANDY McDowell, has not responded on here one time.. He has hid behind co-owners this hole time.he has also blocked me from his face book page,as well as his personal page. I havent seen any effort at making this right. With this said, i ask all to post this link anywhere it will be seen! So at least this will help warn others. I dont plan on stoping this matter until he makes it right. And im sure that by then he will have lost so many customers it will be clear to him a refund would have been much then trying to hide from his own lies!

This Biak is likely not CBB, and is definitely sick. There is no muscle, no fat, their bodies should be more round. Every Biak I've bought that has been an import/farmed has died on me (none of them fresh babies, but 1-2 yearlings).

That animal did not get that emaciated in a month. That animal is a free rescue case at best. It needs Panacur and Flagyl, and possibly a case for Crypto if its that thin and puking everything up.

That right there is NOT a sellable animal.

This just looks like a classic case of an importer/flipper trying to get rid of animals before they die. Pathetic.
 
The Biak looks like it's been dehydrated and starved; I obtained a few corn snakes at one time that was infested with mice and about on deaths bed, and was bony and scrawny like the one you see here, and the vet told me it would have taken MONTHS to get that skinny, or that malnourished.

I have never had 1 bad thing to say about Snakeshop but now that my eyes have opened up.. I spent 3 1/2 hours examining my reptiles I have gotten from the snakeshop and luckily they are doing well..

However, I've noticed anyone who's friends with Jrod or the 3rd party or such gets crappy service from them now with shitty attitudes.. Every time I have tried to message them about information on something, I get 2 or 3 worded answers.. Or completely ignored, or just flat out rude comments.. I asked about pregnant reptiles and was told "don't know if they pregnant or just fat" ... idk, i'm just annoyed now. :(

Thank you for opening my eyes though! When somethings too good to be true, it's not good
 
It is relevant if he got fired because of these posts. And then to not let him buy the monitor is just not right. And on his birthday.. That just seems wrong!
 
:iagree:

it is relevant, because he was fired due to telling the truth, wich is clearly shows randy mcdowell was lying!!!
 
Well this kid took the brunt of your beef w randy. I feel bad for him. Why wouldn't he let him pay off the monitor? He took out his anger on him. Why did he do all of this on his birthday. B days are a big deal to kids.
 
did anyone else catch where "the snake shop" commented saying they were josh and that the snakes were perfectly fine..when josh told jrod that the snake was on its death bed? ................

Different Josh; I thought so too at first. Josh Bigham is the young man who was fired. Joshua Melvin is the co-owner.
