    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....

Last week, I inquired about 23 green anacondas this individual posted here. Took a week before I got any photos...and most of them were photos belonging to Samantha DeMarco of All Exotics SD. When pressed about this, he said it was a mistake and that his wife pulled the wrong photos...IMPOSSIBLE...as he was sending me photos via text as we spoke. What had me going was that he was offering these 23 annies for $3500 shipped. In addition, he also has (his words, not mine) a T- albino that was currently on loan to Renick Reptiles. I already knew this to be impossible, but did the legwork to verify anyway. Others will be posting their testimony to prove that this is nothing but a scam.

Be careful! Avoid at all costs!

Dean contacted me and I tell you what. He was a rude and pushy individual. There was a mixup with pictures and that was between me and the pictures owner. Which has been straightened out. I suggest nobody do business with this Dean guy. He is slanderous and quite frankly very rude and gets pleasure out of lying about people.
Nobody has lost money or been scammed. Ive already done a FTF deal on my condas with a man off this site locally. So Dean... Sit your ass down kid.
 
What makes this claim even more stupid is the fact that Dean is upset. Literally said he was going to blast my name on here from his anaconda facebook platform. Ive created and signed sales agreements and sent copies of my ID to those who were interested in snakes. A scammer wouldnt go to such lengths.

This topic is dead as hell unless this Dean guy can produce 1 person that has lost money to me. I challenge him to produce this person. If he cant, this needs to be closed. There are laws against someone trying to destroy a persons character online.


Thanks. John B.
 
Dean can you post the pictures he sent versus Samantha's please?

Also I noticed she just joined today so perhaps she can explain what is going on.

Who was the guy “off this site locally”?
 
John, the reason you are getting so many questions is because your ad is eerily similar to a chronic scammer on this site named dustin draper. Rare species(mangshan vipers), too good to be true price, a questionable reason for wanting to sell and implying you will only sell to someone with experience and lack of pics. Not accusing you just letting you know why people are bieng skeptical of you and asking so many questions.

Since two different sources (one being Dean) have said that this “John Buhs” guy is claiming that he owns the T+ albino green anaconda and Lynlee Renick has it on a loan, Lynlee said I could release this to get rid of that confusion. The T+ was bought as a baby by Ben and 100% belongs to Lynlee Renick as you can read in the attached screenshot.

The ONLY way anyone backs up his story...is if he gets a friend to pose as a customer! Everything he says are lies. Samantha and I have gone back and forth with his texts...and everything is contradiction or lies compounded by more lies! PLUS...I'm curious how this went from 23 to 25 to 30 anacondas within hours. None of these photos are his...they're ALL Samantha's and others that have posted on instagram. I'm going to post screen shots of all our texts...that include the photos. As soon as I figure out how to post screen shots from my phone...I'm going to post the entire conversation here...that should put the baby to bed!

I have no problem with someone asking questions. Im not arguing with soneone who asks questions. What i am arguing is the quickness of an individual to jump the gun over a little mishap. Its morally wrong when ive not done anything wrong to anybody.
 
Brenna, please post that image as an attachment (uploaded to Fauna in the post rather than via TapaTalk - that is what lends it permanence).

Dont twist what i said. I called them asking to help identify a snake that i purchased. The owner i got it from stated that he got it fron Missouri. I contacted Renick seeking information about the snakes origin. It doeant matter what snakes i may have and that has absolutely NOTHING to do with my anacondas ive been parting with. Get back on track. Thanks.
 
Since “John Buhs” is saying his words are getting twisted, here are the screenshots between him and Dean where “John” says that he owns albino anacondas that are in Missouri on a breeding loan with Lynlee Renick. Also attached my original screenshot from Lynlee after we were both told by people that this guy is claiming he owns the T+ albino green anaconda that Ben Renick bought as a baby.

I never said that i owned his snakes. I called them to possibly identify the snakes that i got from a man who claims that Ben produced them. Thank you.
 
John you can’t seem to get your own story straight as you keep contradicting yourself. In the screenshots you say you own the albino and that Lynlee has it on a loan. I highly suggest you take a break from responding and try to come up with a story that makes even a little sense if you can.
 
Really? The issue doesnt even concern Renick. So dont drag in people that it has nothing to do with. The issue at hand is very simple. People claiming that im selling snajes i dont have. Correct? Correct. How about you take a minute from posting and get back on track as you areball over the place with topics.
 
Also, i never implied i was selling albino snakes. So that has absolutely nothing to do with this topic. Thanks for your time.
