    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....

Well, you got the story straight from Bill himself. As you have seen from the responses from many people, including the owner of THIS site, Mr. Gillingham's excellent reputation and credibility proceed him.

I apologize I misinterpreted I thought Skiploder had been stating that you where also of the mind that Mr. Coral was a poor business man. When in actuality he was stating that you where merely supportive of Mr. Gillinham's character and business practices.

Oh again thank I was being sincere I truly appreciate the site. It's also nice to know you play such an active role in it. It's quite reassuring as a member in my opinion.

Fair question. But how do we know that YOU are really YOU? Or anyone taking part in this thread, for that matter? If we feel we need proof positive of the identity of ANYONE, then why not EVERYONE? When you follow that thought to it's logical conclusion, tell me what you come up with. And just for the record, been there, and done that already. Didn't even get a T-shirt.

Lol! True enough Perhaps I was over stepping my bounds. Just thought it might appear convenient to others and though some proof would further support his claims. You are quite right it is a little ridiculous to expect everyone to prove beyond all shadow of a doubt who they are. As that would only be fair my statement was foolish, I apologize. I'm also very sorry you didn't even get a T-Shirt for your efforts. Lol!
 
The changing hands of the Seprentarium between owners is an unfortunate one, but surely cant be the sole focus of this thread.
Nonetheless, if the Serpentarium is operating in the Green, then Robert should be paying the man.

I am gonna try and not be high maintenance from now on. I guess common decency is something out of the ordinary these days.

Everyone on this thread called me liar from minute one like they knew Robert and was sticking up for him.

Picking apart words I used to make me seem like a liar.

Now we all know what kind of person Robert is, but still choose to accept it after three reputable individuals have stepped in to clarify. If he won't pay his own mother back money he owes her, you think he would practice dishonesty towards a new customer?

I think yes, but just my opinion.
 
Maybe you exxagerate things to yourself, in your own mind then. Perhaps thats how you led yorself to believe that RObert was ordering you a captive bred specimen of an animal that he claims he didnt know has ever been captive bred?
 
Ill ask Robert again, lets see what he comes up with.

Robert, remember telling me that you could get a wild caught for cheap, but they are prone to more problems? I bet you never said this too me either, and I made it up in a craze because I imagine things.

There are a few of us in this thread who did not call you a liar. If you have overlooked us, then that might be a bit insulting, and it goes back to the problem that some people here had with you embellishing the truth about the sores on the snake.

I hope the snake does well for you. You did a good thing by rescue buying it and giving it a chance, IMO, but your attitude still needs work.

Good luck. :rolleyes:

AAARRRRGGGGHHHH! Why are you so passive-aggressive? You've made several statements that are directed to appease the lions, then you immediately insult them.

Passive, probably not. I usually speak my mind. I think it doesn't come off good in writing where Tone of voice is not present. How did I insult anyone? right now? I was called high maintenance. I am sarcastic though, that is for sure. I will tame it down as far as that goes.

Let's not forget he asked for a refund for vet bills that don't exist.

@everyone else

I seriously can't believe we are going throw Robert under the bus because of a bankruptcy. Just wow.

Korbin, I have stated many times that I asked for a refund prior to seeking medical attention for the snake. Thinking I was going to visit the Vet which would mean Vet Bills..... This has to be the 5th time I have said this very thing.

I DID NOT ask for money after taking the snake in for attention.

Is this part clear?

As for the Bankruptcy, he filed for bankruptcy after making a deal with Bill to buy the business. The Business was signed over to Robert, however the payment was not made because Bill trusted Robert would pay him. So, with the business in Roberts name, and Robert now filing bankruptcy, the business went up for sale. Roberts mom purchased the business for less than half of the original selling price, and gave the business to Robert, for an agreed payment plan to be made to his mom.
 
Korbin5895
So you truly think that deliberately declaring bankruptcy so you can essentially steal a business and then pay pennies on the dollar for that business by having your mother buy it back from the government is the acts of an honest and truthful person?
