    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 Kelly Gottberg/KY Reptiles... I'd like your opinion?

How does that ruin it for her? She told you about the wound and even opted to take the animal back and you said you were happy with the snake. I don't understand how I am out of control. Please enlighten me.

You should have looked over the snake, if this was such a "bad infection" how did you miss it? She was treating the wound with neosporin. You have no facts, just assumptions.

Well, it looks like either you're lying now, or she was lying when she disavowed any knowledge of the mouth wound being there.

She's on pain meds from a recent car accident that put her in the hospital. Hence nothing being said yet by her. She's healing and doesn't need this crap. The reason I got involved in all of this was his nasty PM he sent me this morning for saying "Damn right Jonathon" on a post. That is not slandering his name, I simply agreed with someone.

Good job Dan, they are both liars..... I wouldn't trust or touch anything from them at this point.. They are stretching and reaching.. Just look at the pics.. Samantha and Kelly are McDunnald's!

The idea that she has the mental acuity to type and express herself as well as that screenshot portrays, yet can't remember actively treating a wound, sounds kinda flimsy to me. But that could just be me.

I'm reasonably liberal when it comes to catering to the thin-skinned, but that PM doesn't seem especially "nasty" to me. There's obviously a dispute going on, in which you've chosen to get involved and take an opposing stance. Whether it's simply to the small degree that you're claiming, it's not unreasonable to assume that your input in support of his antagonists would be addressed and replied to in kind. I don't see him saying anything about 'slander' in there. :shrug01:

She mentioned nothing in regards to any issues with the snake for everybody's information. You are outlandish Samantha, and childish! I'm appalled that I have to share my hobby with someone similar to you..

FWIW, Kelly Gottberg, I wasn't gonna do this, ^ is why this thread got posted and one of your comments today.. No BS. And, if there was something I could do about your rather large mouth Samantha, I would, but I'll tell ya what, keep posting, people will figure it out.. :shootfoot
 
Kaitlin @ Ace of Spades, you contributed massively to this posting as well? YOU, had a major part in this too.

I think that it's time we all come clean.. It's time for a 'come to Jesus meeting' as someone I knew well always said when it was time to 'fess up.'

I really wonder how poor Kelly feels right now, in major part to you(Kaitlin) and Samantha. I feel so bad for her right now. But, if you are who you hang around with I guess. Dang. But, then I scroll up and see the pics of the Granite Female, and I feel good this is out.

Please tell me what you would do tough guy. You have a history of threatening people and saying you will assault them and whatnot. And I do believe this thread becomes void if you say we are the reason you are posting about Kelly. The two have nothing in common. So you wanted to post about me and had nothing to post about? So you used Kelly?

Keep posting.... :thumbsup:
 
Samantha, regardless of what Tom's position is and what yours is could you take the time to clear up what appears to be the inconsistency about the mouth wound for those reading?

If the screen capture is correct, Kelly clearly stated she never noticed the wound and it must of happened the day he picked it up.

You stated that Tom was told about the wound and Kelly had been treating it.

Of course both of those statements can't be true.
 
Exactly, avoiding my questions. Very professional.

Are you serious, all this hostility, constant arguing/posting from you... All because I wouldn't 'give' you fancy rats a few months back? I am floored beyond belief at this point? You were all over my gal and I like we owed you something? You were real irritating at that point, constant posting, begging for price drop? We were done with you.. And are.. We were talking about $10-$15 back then on rats. That was when you made my DNBFOST list Samantha, yeah, way back then. Your special demands were AWOL. You are scaring me now with your hounding! My gal was joking about you and a restraining order, but dang, I am starting to wonder? And, I have no criminal record.. Thank ya! :eek:

On a serious side note Samantha.. I have a previous customer that has come forward (since he saw your slandering me on FB) with a snake from you that has not eaten? At all, since he got it from YOU! Do you know who I might be referring to? I haven't been able to touch base on how long this has actually been, but, it's out there, it's recent, and I offered to help the guy fwiw... Please reach out to your customers, have you ever done that... checked in with a customer to make sure they are satisfied, or how an animal may have acclimated at a new spot? I heard some other stuff too on ya that is worthy of airing out.. From very reputable sources here in Az. Maybe they will be tired enough of your stuff too, and post about it here? :NoNo:

If it's all gone down as you say, I can understand your frustration and desire to retaliate. That being said, from the perspective of at least one person on the outside looking in, it's starting to look like you're straddling the line between righteous indignation and petty glee. Someone's gotta be the bigger man. For the sake of your business and how you're perceived by those who may consider future business with you, why not play that role yourself?

The BOI is not about assumptions, it's about facts
The BOI is about presenting whatever case you may have, and letting others draw their own conclusions as to what's factual and what isn't. Reasonable assumptions don't lose all sense of validity until they're disproven. Something happened to that snake's mouth, and whether we're assuming it's from a feeder, or another snake, is moot. It's still an undisclosed injury. However, if you'd like to treat the BOI as a court of law, do you have anything factual to back up the claim you've made about his threats?

This is tough, I have to 'own' some stuff.... A couple of males got involved in this rift, not knowing the full details, and, well, you know how boys play in the yard sometimes? I own it. It was mutual combat and all in fun imho trying to get to the bottom of this.. And here it is.

Nothing towards any females, I am a gentlemen still, I have been having fun with the ladies and their posts, kinda, but the boys and I got rowdy Dan, and crowd.

I own it, I'm 35, I'm young, kinda, athletic, had an interesting upbringing where we didn't run home to 'mommy', and yeah, I get down and dirty with the best of em, I guess one could say.

My gal has been handling these young ladies comments as well tonight, and was rendered to bed at 10pm because she doesn't have it in her to continue at this time.

I own it! Title in hand, yes, me and a couple of guys had some nice threatening type posts/words/messages etc etc. Some stem from some stuff I shoulda aired out 2 yrs ago on a 'pretend-a-breeder' here in the Valley going by multiple names, and selling sick animals and I had finally put things in line when he started posted in regards to Samantha and Kaitlin's FB slander. This is a long story. But, here we are.. Coming to Jesus! I'm happy about it..

Tom, you made this thread about Kelly - if you want to talk about issues with other people, use threads with those names in the titles. I understand that it was the postings of others that precipitated this thread...but that doesn't mean this thread can be used to wage that battle.
 
Yeesh. Well, mommy wouldn't have done a damn thing for me even if I had ever bothered to run home to her. I was never much of a runner anyway, which generally left one option. It's a tough one. How much do we hold it against someone who's pushed far enough to where he feels the need to fight fire with fire? None of it negates the validity of the "INFO" at the heart of this thread, but it does add another dimension to it.

Much appreciated.. I am racking up infractions as we go, thought I was banned for a split second there.. I apologize again.. Samantha, your thread will be up on here in 8 hrs or less. You deserve it.
 
Holy crud, that's what I get for reviewing threads when I'm exhausted. I was looking at the photos and looking at them and looking at them going "I don't a mouth injury, possibly the tiniest of rubs on the upper lip, but no HOLES, am I going crazy?"

... then I realized the holes were so large and deep that I was looking right over them, scanning them as the HEAT PITS that are normal on the TOP of a ball's face. EESH! Poor girl, glad she's in your care and doing better.

I'd also like to know why a "perfectly healthy" snake with no known wounds was being treated with neosporin...
