    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....

Inquiry Touch of Class Reptiles

I haven't gotten animals from them, but got to talk to the owner and one of his guys at the Jacksonville show (they were setup behind us). They were both very nice, knowledgable about the animals they had, charged reasonable prices. They had both WC and CB animals with them and were upfront with their customers about which was which.

I don't think you'll have any problems with ordering from them.
 
Does anyone else have any input to add to this thread?

I'm thinking of making a large purchase with them. The animals I am considering were advertised as captive bred, but some of the pics show scarred animals and I'm concerned. I appreciate the above poster's comments, but was wondering if anyone has had dealings with them.
 
I had a friend that purchased a satanic from them that died within the week. She contacted them many times without making any progress, finally she just went to a show they were vending at and confronted them infront of an audience. They gladly gave her the money back.
 
I have purchased several ball pythons and red tail boas from them and have only had great dealings. The snakes i purchased were and still are very healthy and their prices were very reasonable.
 
i have purchased and traded many high end animals with them! they are a great group of people and i have also been to there facility and they keep a very clean and organized place! i would not hesitate to do business with them!

Don't you work for the company? Isn't this a little shady?
 
So your telling us that on Sept. 22, 2009 you posted positive feedback on a company that you have now been managing since at least Nov. 18, 2009. And were now supposed to believe that your original feedback was unbiased.

Do you make it a habit to browse fauna on your phone while driving, or did someone call you to let you know you've been found out?

When did you start working there?

I get email updates on my iphone...and i started working there sometime in the beginning to mid of October. I met Kelvin at the 2009 Daytona show and bought my first fat tailed geckos from him. He then invited me to the warehouse. When i told him i want to get rid of all my ball pythons, he offered me a trade for more fatties. Around mid-september i asked him if i could put him as a reference (i was applying for a job)..in October i get a phone call from him asking if i had found a job and if i had not found one he asked if i wanted to work for him because he needed somebody that spoke english, so i took that offer.

I doubt he would tell you the truth by your simply asking him.

Surely he gets paid by check, so posting a copy of that check would certainly reveal his year to date earnings, showing a start date.

So how about that Alex, would you post a copy of your most recent pay stub so we can see when you exactly started working for TOC?

Chuck,

I do not get paid by check. And please if I may ask something? Why does will no one believe me? I have not lied in any of the threads that I have been involved in. I have tried to help Jason out.. If I say I didn't work there at the time, why must every still insist otherwise. Everyone seems to be looking for something to label me as a theif or liar....or at least that is how it feels..

Are you paid in peanuts?

Are you paid in cash and if so are you an independent contractor that files his own 1099 form?

Paying cash "under the table" to an employee (to my knowledge) is a big no no and can get your boss into a lot of doo doo.

Something tells me you know this though, so why is it unreasonable for me to think you are a liar, when evidently you know you are stealing from the government by not paying taxes on income that you've earned, which technically makes you a thief?

Are you not legally eligible to be employed in the US?
