Well DM1975,
If you read everything in this thread that everyone else has read, you may come to the conclusion that people have not said bad things about Allen as a person. Like I said I have talked with him twice back in 2007 and 2008 and he came off as a nice courteous person. The only childish things I have read and would like to read are coming from the Allen has gotten his act together fan club. And everyone else is just reminding the others here on the BOI on how Allen got this reputation. Again, you wrote the thread and now you want to insult the people writing posts that are against what you believe. Again, enjoy your new snake, I am sure it is very pretty and you enjoy it for years to come.

That is a very backward way of looking at this. I posted this just to let people know how MY experience with him was, not how your experience, or the others have been. It is a free country yes, and you can post what ever you want, but this has been nothing more than blood in the water for the sharks, which I find very childish. Their are plenty of bad posts about him on here, and most revolve around a few individuals and some pictures of a couple of dirty cages and accusations of IBD. Most all of this is anecdotal at best, but the people who have been to his facility and have said it is ran great are completely ignored or shunned. Cages get dirty, it happens. Anyone that has ever dealt with a lot of snakes should know that. I have cleaned cages one day and the next morning had them smeared with crap from top to bottom over night, it happens.
The worst thing about this is that the moderators seem to support the bashing and insult those who have anything good to say. To me this is childish and useless in a forum where people are supposed to be giving reports on how their transactions with others have been. The excuse that people are just wanting to give all the facts is a useless excuse. Their is a search feature on here where you can find out all the info you want, which none of it has to do with MY experience with him.
You mention that he is selling off all his breeders- His breeder add has (3) breeder males listed: Cinny, Spider & Yellowbelly. I don't know about you, but I would consider those particular snakes as un-needed surplus. Sure they would have been great to have as breeders (3-4) years ago. I honestly think he has just a couple better replacements that are of size to actually produce some slightly better crosses by now. I just got off the phone with Allen. There are no plans for him to get out of the business, not now or anytime in the near future. This information does not effect me, but it may effect someones decision on purchasing an animal from him if they have "heard" he is getting out of the business. I only bring this up because of the pictures you have shared and stated to be true photos of how he keeps his animals. Now, I have just proved you have made a ridiculous false statement about Allen Belcher. People tend to loose credibility when they are caught in a Lie.
