    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....
I still wouldn't trust him, maybe that's just me. It took him a decade to make something right should have been fixed the day you asked for it to be fixed. He sent you animals that were mite ridden, dehydrated WC's with internal parasites....I mean, ANYONE in the business would look at those animals and say "Wow, those WC's are in are in bad shape...." or "Wow, those CB's were neglected to the point of death...."

He knew what he had and he chose to lie and try to pass them off onto you.

It might be 10 + years later, but he could have the holy grail of pythons for sale right now at the best price possible and I wouldn't go near it with a 10 foot pole just based off how he handled himself all that time ago.

People don't change their spots very often. If he had morals and high standards to keep his animals healthy, happy and thriving it would show in ALL his dealings, past and present.

I was the first person outside Australia to produce Albino Carpets. I produced about 400 babies until I sold my project. EVERY single transaction and animal sold I gave 110% attention to in order to keep the customer happy and the animal healthy. It's not hard to be a stand up guy if your heart is in the right place. I never misrepresented an animal in order to make a buck.

Might just be me, but I highly doubt he's a stand up guy. It's more likely he wants this thread to go away so he can keep selling animals without this hurting his sales.

Couldn't agree more.....this is just another example of the BOI pressuring a scammer into doing the right thing.

Integrity is doing the right when nobody is watching, not the other way around.
 
Let this be a warning to anyone who does business with Mike/HerpMasters Inc (why a self-proclaimed "hobbyist" would need an Incorporated business name is beyond me):

If you get screwed, Mike will make things right in 10 years. Maybe. If you post on the BOI about it.
 
I know you're dense, but this is ridiculous. This WHOLE thread's purpose was to inform everyone about who you are, what you do and how you handle yourself.

Once you get that, you'll understand why all replies to this thread are valid opinions formed based solely off the information contained here.


so once again you are commenting on things you know nothing about.
 
HerpMasters Inc was created in FL in 2006, and went inactive in 2007.

Also, he even states in his bio that he has a reptile "business"....
