    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Holdback? Doesn't that imply he hatched the snake? Does he even know what the brothers and sisters look like?

I wouldn't believe a word he says at this point...who knows. So he never made good on any of this deal at all?? Good grief.
 
A holdback most traditionally means the most desired to be kept for the breeder from a clutch or season, but it has also come to mean the most desired to be kept by a reseller from a group, too.

Of course, if you resell something asap, it was never really a holdback, and the usage may just seem like an inflated label slapped on to promote a sale. Very common, although not always accurate.

I am more concerned by the OP having received nada for his animals.
 
Of course the bigger issue is the fact that the op still has not received any compensation at all when it's apparent Mr kruger has been selling the op's snakes for what seems like a pretty large sum. The holdback thing is only secondary but does show how dishonest Mr kruger is. I've seen at least 3 snakes that belong to the op that he's sold for $500 plus some of the others for $100+. Considering the op only asked for compensation worth a few hundred dollars at the most to end this, and kruger still refuses to make things right is truly sickening. Kruger makes out extremely well no matter what.

:iagree: I guess a lot of people dont research before they buy. It hard to believe anyone who has read this would actually buy anything from him. I skimmed through his Facebook page and almost all of the snakes or other critters he's advertised say sold or on hold. I really hope more people start researching sellers before buying so at some point this lack of dealing with this situation starts hurting his business. He truly deserves the bad guy title and more people need to be made aware.

It seems that it would not have been the first time that Kruger attempted to make it look like he was the breeder that produced Alex's boas.
Earlier, in this thread, it appears that he did claim to have produced them &/or alluded to it. See posts #533, #536, #539, etc.
With one person, according to texts, he somewhat corrected himself. However, it does lend to wondering what he may have said to anybody else, at the show, who had questions.
This was not the only time, in this thread, that he showed himself to have a propensity, for being dishonest, either.

Obviously you are his friend and you are not reading my post I cannot send the guns to him that we made the deal about he is not allowed to have them the snake that he did not send is very expensive so now you tell me what have I done and honestly if he is the one that has messed up the deal he has to get his snakes back why should I be out the money out of my pocket he's the one that messed up the deal

Mel, even if he sent you that one other snake,, the situation remains the same. He still cannot receive those two guns that were originally agreed upon. So in reality that one "real expensive" snake, shouldn't be a factor here.

It only takes a moment to update your location. It may be a small matter, but it is important here to show that you do what you say you are going to do, if you are (justifiably) accusing the other party of not doing what he agreed to do.

Lucille, what does his location have to do with any of this? Really? I've come across tons of people advertising on here that have a location posted, but yet their phone numbers are from completely different states.

One's phone number does not have to correspond to one's location since the number does not change if a person with a mobile phone moves to a different state.
 
I am sorry to say Alex but I do not believe for one second that Kruger will do ANYTHING positive at all.
Sounds more like he is just seeing what else he can try and scam you for tbh.
I would more likely trust his brother Freddy at this stage!
 
Yet another strike against krugers morals, breeding a snake with deformities. Either he is lying about the snake having issues or he is telling the truth and bred a deformed snake. Whichever is the truth it's another thing to add to the list of reasons to avoid Kruger like the plague.
 
Wait, WHAT???? Kruger is saying YOU need to replace the snake??? I am so confused. After all this, when he took your snakes and never sent you anything, he wants a replacement snake? Am I reading this right....unbelievable.....

Just my two cents but how can <this guy> even be allowed to post on Fauna, especially with what at this moment are snakes he has STILL not made good on to the op?
