    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....

Bad Guy Bad Experience with Carson Phelps of Herps Etc

Thx skip

To be honest
I really don't need to be bothered with starting a thread on Steve miles
Answer all kinds of questions
Waste my time etc etc for what
It's doesn't get my money back

It was almost 2 years ago

I'd have to go thru god knows how much paperwork to find letters dont even know if i have them anymore blah blah blah


I'm taking care of the situation and that's all that matters to me

I didn't do my research on the dude he answered all my questions on point with pictures etc and he got me

He was from Camden South Carolina
I remember that because there's a Camden near me

Should I start a thread on Dave tallmin that got me 7 years ago

For what doesn't change the fact

It happens and it sucks

life goes on

once again my 2 cents. Carson is a good person to do business with!!
What is your purpose of keeping this going Chris Kennard? It's done and over from what I can see and I think anyone who knows Caron would agree

First of all Skip, it is not done and over with until July unless he fulfills his obligations sooner. Just because you think he's a stand up guy doesn't change the fact that something fishy and perhaps dishonest is going on here. I've seen people with supposed stellar reps turn out to be scoundrels. They acted just like Carson is now. Vague, elusive, cut out when the going gets tough. My questions are valid and are not difficult to answer unless he is lying. Three thousand dollars disappeared. Explain that Skip. Do you know the answers to the questions I asked? Your noble posts have been duely noted, but if you have no answers to those questions, perhaps you could step aside and let the BOI serve the function it was designed to perform. With all due respect.

Blah blah blah is right.who didn't predict that post was coming? I hope you are done with this thread so everyone can see how you left the building. Hopefully the op will have closure in the future, but others will view this thread and think twice about giving you a dime.
 
Well Chris, I don't know the answers but I do know that a man with a good reputation deserves a little more respect than what you are showing! BOI fine, I will step aside and I hope that with all your wisdom you will find the truth that you are looking for and not what you are trying imply. With all due respect!!

Unless your paying my bills Chris
I don't have to explain anything to you

U wanna be nosey and wanna know the whole breakdown then u can call me and I'll tell u all about it

Lol. The old "behind the scenes" explanation. This isn't about being nosy, it's about making people aware of your antics. I don't have to pay your bills. Guy already did. And you're right. You don't have to explain yourself. If you did, it wouldn't be for my benefit or anyone elses. It would be for your own benefit. But at this point any explanation you conjure up would probably put you in a deeper hole. Perhaps silence is your best friend right now. Typical copout Carson. I've deen it before. Take care.
 
I am just another person on the side lines wondering the same things. There are a lot of discrepancies for those that choose to see them. Chris has pointed out about every last thing that had me scratching my head but I decided to stay out until I realized why the statement below stuck in my head. Earlier in the year I was interested in one of Carsons snakes that, come to find out, would have fulfilled his obligation to Guy.

Then last December(2012) we came to a new deal on ball pythons because it was clear to me Carson had no intention of completing our deal and I would not see the snakes or my money back. The new deal was 1.0 pied, 0.2 het pied, 0.2 yellowbellies, 2- 2013 Co Dominant Her Ultramel and one 2013 Spark, which I was to received by end of September 2013.

Then in September of this year Carson told me he did not breed any of his ball pythons this year and he could not get me what we had agreed on. So I asked for my money back and he said he could not pay me.

No pied? But here he is selling one shortly after the above:

No het pied girls? But here he is selling some just a few months short of having to fulfill his commitment:

Good enough. For what it's worth, last time I checked lying to someone who gives you three thousand bucks isn't showing much respect.
 
Sorry, Last time for what it's worth you are assuming that he lied. I think that Carson's reputation means more to him than a 3,000 dollar deal, just me I guess. I'll let you figure this out seeing how you are so wise!!!

Skip have you read this whole thread? You are probably a great guy and I understand the stance you are taking. Hope I am wrong. I doubt it.

We've caught him in two lies just in this thread. He lied when he said he would start a thread about Steve, and
herpsetc said:
I'm done with this thread
Click to expand...
he lied there as well.

If he is playing fast and loose with the truth here, and refuses explanation and goes vague then readers have a right to question what really happened with the OP's $3,000.
 
Wow!

Carson, You have sold 100's maybe 1000's of healthy animals to plenty of happy, satisfied customers. (I am one of them:thumbsup:) This thread will do you no-harm to your faithful customers. I have not read the whole thing, only the first page and a half and the last...I don't have that much time to waste.

You will never win on the BOI!!! There are some people on here like Chris that have nothing better to do with their time but get involved with other's sh*t. They get off on it like it's porn.

My suggestion, Leave it alone, disregard the comments, move on and make things right between You and Guy.

If he is willing to accept a male Coral Glow and a SuperStripe as payment to square things up over a 3k debt....Well, I'm sure you can gladly make that happen for him.

Asking someone to clarify their claims is very different from trashing of a reputation.
 
I agree Jason.
And Lucille I just spoke with him and his explanation is good enough for me and I think anyone who knows him will trust that he has done everything possible to make things right

Great advice Jason, lol. Maybe someone will be impressed enough to give you a green chicklet. You should have read the whole thread. Glad you submitted this post though. We'll see how things pan out.

No. When someone has so little respect for us that he expects that offering zero explanation is enough, and everyone is supposed to meekly hush up because some member saying the explanation is good enough for him, it is clear that something is being hidden.

Carson took $3000 from the OP and it has not been satisfactorily accounted for. Anyone planning future business with him should consider this thread.
 
Lucille I don't expect anyone to hush up because of an explanation that I gave, but his explanation was good enough for me and all I'm saying is he deserves the benefit of the doubt and not to have his name trashed over something like this.
The BOI is a place where if you do not have the time to post in your defense you can often take a beaten before you have a chance to defend yourself completely.
