    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....

(Inguiry)Rare Pythons

There are multiple regulating agencies involved in oversight of research. Most of these are taken care of at the institutional level and each lab then has to be certified via the institution. Honestly, I would not worry about him doing research because there is no way for him to get his hands on the reagents that would be needed.

you are sure about that? what about any experiments on animals? is there agency that is over the use of animals in an experiment? just wondering.

and is the anyone here on the BOI that lives near this guy? there has to be someone who can check this guys place out. someone please step up, i would if the guy were within a 3-4 hour drive. thanks guys/gals in advance.
 
did you guys/gals see that he changed the wording again on his home page to say that "We have access to over 200 clutches a year and hope to provide unique and rare ball pythons to collectors, breeders, and pet stores worldwide." i guess he may come around after all. i just think that this guy thought that he could come into this hobby like a used car salesman, he found out the hard way that would not work. i really hope he learned his lesson and i hope he takes care of those animals. if he were to come on here and show proof that he got fecals done and admit that the whole genetics thing was bull he would be in much better shape in my book.
 
I would imagine he is pretty busy crying in his beer at the losses he is having and wondering why what he read on the net is not always working.
 
I wouldn't necessarily think this guy is losing all of his money he put into this. He most likely is reaching out to local pet shops and stores selling these animals for bottom dollar as they hatch just to get them moving.

Those animals will get sold. He will conspire and deal with the people that are still willing to do business, such as the few that gave him the backing in PM's. I suspect his CH animals and gravids will end up on the market regardless and he will buy some morphs or just trade outright.

As much as we don't want to see him in business like this, he will sell, and he will make some money dealing at the bottom of the barrel as many others ousted by the BOI have and will.
 
Hey Chris, I don't know which thread you answer on. I thought you weren't coming back.

Yeah, I was just hoping he would stay away after he said he would. But now he's coming and locking his sale ads and bumping them to the top. I guess I actually hoped the scumbag would keep his word. :shrug01: Wishful thinking I guess.

Just like a "bad penny" or however that old saying goes....they just keep coming back. :rolleyes:
 
Chris, you went about your entire Ball venture completly wrong. You asked if we thought you should leave, and I think the answer was an overwhelming, yes.

The bottom line, look around at the company you share with your locked ad. I know I have no reason to lock my ads....

No desire to purchase from someone who can't keep their word, how 'bout you guys? I would say we could add liar to his list of qualities, but darn that one's already on there.

The pot grow closet business must be lagging so he decided to grace us with his presence here again. :bang:
 
I was really hoping we'd seen the last of him... I guess in reality I didn't expect it all that much though... this type of person really doesn't go away for long... they'll keep trying to make as much money as they possibly can by lying, cheating, stealing, etc...
I am not at all surprised that he is using a "dummy" to sell snakes for him on other sites now... I mean... he's proven time and time again that he's all about deception and misrepresentation... With his glorious reputation, I guess his options were fairly limited...
Now that he's locking ads as soon as he posts them... I think it's fairly important to try to keep SOMETHING about him visible on the first page of the BOI for as long as he's trying to sell.

The last thing our hobby needs is people like him...
 
You could always buy some gift certificates for future normal...I mean morph..purchases.

Don't forget, this awesome description Chris has of mojave BP's on his website.
Mojaves lack brown, gold, and yellow coloration. They are an absolutely beautiful snake and often have a faded appearance. The genes for mojaves are co-dominant.

This guy is a tool.
Just in it for the money from unsuspecting newbies.
