Sorry I have no idea how to take a pic of the conversation so I copied and pasted it. This is my conversation with Jerron AFTER he banned me from his group. Apparently the thread is down. Bottom line I was not disrespectful in any way.....I was just saying that I thought the fact that he was flipping a reptile that he "rehabbed" for a month was wrong. I also pointed out that when you have ppl in this industry with a lot of experience and knowledge....if they offer help its good to listen to them and be respectful. Anyways I was banned and blocked. Its ok....but still....just the picture alone above shows that he is not very educated in taking care of torts...feeding it fruit messes with the PH balance

Are you kidding me? You were beyond rude to me and my passion for reptiles. You had no right to be in that conversation as well as others.

I said nothing disresptful to you other than to be honest with you as to how I felt.
You are young....I have seen it a million times. You might not like how some come across....but when you are dealing with ppl from the industry that have a lot of knowledge...it is best to show a lil respect

End of story.

You are not automatically given respect in this industry...you earn it
Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:02pm
Jerron Helldorfer
I should have just as much respect as you get from other persons.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:02pm
Michelle Bell
really? Because you put years into this...paving the way for others
That would be like me saying some of the fore fathers of this industry should show me respect out of the gate. Respect is earned.....

Yes, just because you are older doesn't mean you are any better than an infant or a teenager.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:03pm
Michelle Bell
its not better....its knowledge
that you gain from learning over years and years
Jerron Helldorfer

Jerron Helldorfer
I've been apart of this "industry" for almost 4 years now. And you don't see me getting any respect.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:05pm
Michelle Bell
wow...4 years. Talk to me when you have a couple of decades
Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:06pm
Jerron Helldorfer
And I still don't care. You were being rude, not showing respect for what I was saying or doing. And just butting into the conversation you were not invited to was rude.
Michelle Bell

Michelle Bell
so funny....well have fun with your lil group. Get ready to not have much of one
Jerron Helldorfer

Plenty of people in that group, I would say in my opinion, are very knowledgeable and very respectful to the upcoming generation of reptile enthusiasts. And then there's people like you. Pushing them away. Saying they should get rid of their reptiles, or not being able to own one or care for one.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:11pm
Michelle Bell
Ok...you go with your 4 year self. And anyone that thinks its ok to break a contract and rehab a tort for a month only to resell ...not someone I would like to deal with.
I be sure to put your name out there on my site...along with my page. Over 500 followers....lmao
Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:12pm
Jerron Helldorfer
I did not break any contract whatsoever. There was a mistake in his beliefs/findings and he respectfully apologized for his mistake.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:13pm
Michelle Bell
Oh ok...so its ok then to flip a rescue
Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:13pm
Jerron Helldorfer
The contract he was talking about, was about adopting a desert tortoise in which I did not adopt from PHS.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:13pm
Michelle Bell
again ok to flip a rescue
Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:14pm
Jerron Helldorfer
You said it yourself.
Right there. I have proof.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:14pm
Michelle Bell
what ok to flip a rescue...lmao.....I dont do that. Apparently you think its ok
Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:15pm
Jerron Helldorfer
I don't think that's okay. You said it yourself right up there. ^^
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:15pm
Michelle Bell
Oh jesus...really. Ok you cut and paste that somewhere....lol. Everyone knows I do NOT agree with what you are doing

Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:17pm
Jerron Helldorfer
Why don't you grow up, and stop arguing with a 15 year old kid. You are the idiot. For fighting with a 15 year old kid.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:18pm

Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:21pm
Michelle Bell
I would rather be a grandma....even though I am not....then a snot nose kid that thinks he deserves respect because he was born
that is unethical with rescued reptiles
Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:22pm
Jerron Helldorfer
Hey so do you. You think you deserve respect because you are an "elder" and you have been in the reptile "industry" for soooo long.
Michelle Bell
4/16, 10:22pm
Michelle Bell
Nope...not from my elders that have done it longer
Jerron Helldorfer
4/16, 10:23pm
Jerron Helldorfer
Well, you certainly act like it.
Just grow up, and don't stoop down to a 15 year olds level.
