Yasiel is a very good guy to buy from... Answers very fast and answers all questions.. Glad to have bought a Spotted Bush Snake from him.. Its already feeding.
I will be buying from him again! :yesnod:
 
I too just made a purchase from Glassy, shipped same day and animals were in perfect condition. Accommodated every request i had with super fast response time. Great price too! - can recommend!
 
I made a purchase from Yaisel too but it didn't go very well. I ended up receiving a natal green snake instead of a spotted bush snake but he ended up refunding me 35 bucks after quite a bit of name calling and arguing.
 
You came to me dropping the F bomb and claiming I was out to get you and scam you over a $55.00 dollar snake. I refund 35 dollars and your still unhappy. You came off as an extremely rude, immature, and very unpleasant from the very first messages. I even offered replacement of snake and you claim I was going to scam you and don't trust me. I refunded and made it right yet your still nasty about it... That's OK!!!
 
Nice to know that, because honestly I don't care.

He screwed me over and sent me a snake that I didn't want and denied it was the wrong species.

Here is a copied version of something I posted on Facebook.

I don't know if this is really appropriate to post here because it isn't a classified but I'm going to post it here because I know the person I am talking about has posted here before. I recently purchased a spotted bush snake from Yaisel Rodriguez for 95 shipped. Originally I wanted to get a juvenile to make the acclimation process a little easier. I asked him for pictures and they were all of patternless green snakes, NOT spotted bush snakes like I wanted. He told me all the juveniles were patternless but all the adults were spotted, so I decided to go ahead and purchase an adult for 10 dollars extra because I knew that it wasn't the species I wanted. He shipped it yesterday and it arrived at 11 am today. When I opened the snake bag there was a patternless green snake with black skin in between the scales which you can only see when the snake is stretched out or had a large meal. I thought that was odd but I left it in its enclosure for a few hours and offered it an anole which it refused as well as a small bullfrog which it refused. I started doing a lot more research online about the different species and discovered that it indeed was the wrong species of snake and decided I want my money back. When I told him his immediate reply was "Your a fuckibg Annoy kid Holy shit. It's the SAME species. You prove me wrong with someone who has a herp degree and ill listen." So far he has offered to refund me 25 dollars out of the 95 I paid for the snake and shipping but only because I threatened to post about him in other groups and the BOI. He has also given me the option to ship the snake I have to him and he would send me the right species, but I don't think I trust him enough to do that. My friend Prestin Tomborello also received a spotted bush snake which came to him very healthy, very active and very eager to eat. It ate an anole a few hours after it got to his house and today ate 3 unscented pinkies. Mine has been hiding all day and refuses any food in the cage. Here is a picture of the snake I received and the snake Prestin got next to each other to compare the differences between the two snakes. They are very obviously not the sames species yet he insists that they are. Obviously this guy screwed me over on purpose and sold me the wrong species. I urge everyone to think twice about purchasing anything from him.
 
Why don't you care? And why wouldn't you trust Yaisel to get you the right species, if he offered? If you don't like the snake, return it to him, if he's willing. That's the only way he will give you a full refund.

Mislabelling happens all the time. I've argued and argued and argued about species that should not be mislabelled by some people, but seriously, it is a losing battle. If you knew what you were going to get, by pictures, why did you buy it then?
 
Are you serious? He showed me pictures of one snake and sent me another.

I don't care because he screwed me over, plane and simple
 
"Nice to know that, because honestly I don't care."

That says a lot.

"Obviously this guy screwed me over on purpose and sold me the wrong species. I urge everyone to think twice about purchasing anything from him."


See that's where you are wrong, you clearly are very nasty even after I bend over and made it right you are still on a witch hunt and want to trash my rep. My animals speak for themselves and I don't know what would make you think i'm going to "purposely" screw someone over. I am fair and honest, don't like it? Take a hike. I treat others as I would like to be treated and your message instead of being polite you cuss me out with F bomb and accuse me of scamming you. Treat others as you want to be treated, obviously someone missed that lesson..Oh well.

Is there any way you can prove that your's is not Philothamnus semivariegatus? Because, P. semivariegatus are a variable species, and they do not all have patterns. Did Yaisel actually say he would send you a patterned one?
 
Yes, he told me that ALL of the adults had patterning so I told him I would pay the extra 10 for an adult and that I DIDN'T want a patternless one.

As for proving that it isn't semivariegatus, he wouldn't even talk to me about a refund until I had a herpetologist check it out, so I had a herpetologist friend of mine who works with them back up my claims and well as having Francis Cosquieri who keeps multiple species of Philothamnus check it out as well. Both decisions were the same, that it was not a semivariegatus that he sent, however exact identification is going to require macro shots of the head and I don't have a decent enough camera anymore.



I don't want anything else out of this, I just want people to know what happened. If he would have just been reasonable from the start and admitted it was a mistake this would have easily been resolved. Contrary to what he would like you to believe, my first message simply said "Dude this is like f****d up. I want either some of my money back or refunded completely. I specifically asked for a spotted one like Prestin got and decided to pay more for one and its patternless pretty much except for the black skin in between the scales." I did NOT come out swearing. His reply to that was to call me "an annoying f*****g kid. It wasn't until after that that I lost it and flipped out on him... eventually he dropped to "its the same species" crap which tells me he knew that he sold me the wrong animals

I will not be buying from Glassy (Yaisel Rodriguez) again, he messaged me last night saying, "becuase I know Tyler (RegenerationReptiles) that he refuses to sell to me anymore." Out of the clear blue! That I find to be very rude and non-bushiness like... I do not recommend him anymore.

Click to expand...

The snake I received (Spotted) has a different facial structure, body, underbelly etc from the snake Tyler received. It is very obvious that he got a different species and that is not acceptable. You should know what you are selling especially when someone requests a SPOTTED not pattern-less animal. Tyler specifically said, "I want one with the spots and not the ones with no pattern"

He received a smaller individual when he payed extra for a larger individual because all of Yaisel's babys were "PATTERNLESS"..... and he didnt want a patternless. :NoNo:

Yaisel didn't listen to him.
 
Yeah there is a world of difference between the one Prestin got and the one I got. Different head structure, body shape, length of tail etc. on top of the fact that his is covered in black spots and mine is a flat lime green which I specifically told him I didn't want.
 
Great transaction with Yiasel! I bought 3 rufous beaked snakes and everything came just as described I will definitely do business with him again (assuming he can get me more beaked snakes ;) )
