    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....

May I first say that as much as I love my friends, my loyalties to the man I love and this industry are my top priority.

I received this email from an anonymous source this morning, and the email headers clearly show that Allen Belcher is masquerading Bid Daddy's Ball Room on K/S.

Nice try Allen, but your $hit is counterfeit!!!:NoNo:

Have fun folks!!!
 
How did they test for IBD through bloodwork? I thought liver biopsies were the only true way to test for IBD?!?!? So what good would blood tests be?

How did he get the blood work done is 2 days? How did he get animals back and tested in 2 days? Gotta check my shoes again, 'cause something really stinks.

How do you not know what color the cards are? You don't look at them when you are handing them out? :ack2:

Laura I think you should post this in the other thread also. :yesnod:
 
Bill, Which one The old Allen or the new IBD thread ?? if its the old one I would say that is why she started the new one, so this info don't get lost in the nothingness.
 
I'm pretty sure that somewhere there is a piece of paper, maybe more than one, that have these results written on them.

Of course, if you DON'T want to have the results made public, you would NOT mention faxes, emails, snailmail, PICKING IT UP IN PERSON, scams, er scans, none of THOSE methods would be practile. Would they?

I bet alan's eyes are brown now, and I bet they weren't when he was spawned.

In all of them. ;)
 
Feel free to post a link between the two threads, however, I started this new thread to show the deception of Allen's business practices that was brought up in the existing thread by John Schmitt. Not to argue about the mode of transportation of Inclusion Body Disease.

Let's not forget boyz that Allen is listed as a vendor at the FIRE show in Orlando. Free to try to lure the public into a false sense of security that he is someone all together different. :angry:

Please keep it on the topic at hand and don't let this thread turn into the bad secpool that the other one has become!!!!

Sorry Sweetie!!! But are we only suposed to talk about the seperate business name in this thread? I guess I don't understand, if someone read this thread then they would only know he changes his business name. :shrug01:
 
They can diagnose IBD by bloodwork. They cannot RULE OUT IBD by bloodwork alone.
There is a simple blood test, that they stain, then look for inclusions. The fact that there are inclusions in the blood does not 100% mean that it is IBD, but it is highly likely.
The liver biopsies are not 100% but they are as close to 100% as you can get.
Just information.

I smell ...... sniff ..... sniff ..... FEAR . Seems someone was worried enough about the repercussions of public knowledge of IBD in his facility that he changed his biz name. Last I checked changing a name doesn't clear a building , room or anything else from diseases.

This is a quote from Allen in post #497 of the other thread...
Big Daddy's Wholesale ... Now I have also been looked at as someone who loves the money but not the reptiles. You know truth is that is how it started for me. I saw the money that could be made. Very quickly though I found that if I did not enjoy this I would not make it in this industry very long. When I started doing this I had four companies. Now I have two and I have a passion for the reptiles that far exceeds my wildest dreams. I find myself calculating money in terms of that's 5 albino balls or a pair of super tigers, instead of another dollar in the bank.

Seems his love for the animals is so strong that he felt the burning need to keep selling animals under a different name without any conclusive test results to even remotely clear his facility. Do they sell Scammer Handbooks?

Post #413 is the first post bringing up IBD from Allen. Its dated 10 - 27 - 2006 , Big Daddy's Ballroom started shortly after that. Go figure. Heres the link to the thread , enjoy the posts from Mr Allen " I love the animals " Belcher.

I believe the banner he had over his tables at the FIRE show read, "Big Daddy's Warehouse".....
 
I do not know what is with people who have or can have any contagious virus that can affect any animals, setting up at shows where they can possible pass it to others or selling ones that may be postive!!!! That is just plain insanity.

If you are near a lab that has an EM, you can get the testing right away, the same day even, although access to that is rare. Bearded dragon breeders have access to a lab, that has been able to get the results back to them within 2-3 days, even with the samples being shipped from another state. t does not matter if blood, liver or in the case of bearded dragons, a fecal test.

The main point in any of this is selling or expoing others to it....... that is wrong, no way around it!
 
I don't think that by changing the last part to "ballroom", "warehouse" or whatever will make a difference; it's the "Big Daddy's" that it will be remembered...:(
 
What a true turd.. Its had to tell where and who has an IBD infected.. Makes me wonder what makes people like that tick..
 
Get The Picture

What makes this person tick Hmmmmmmm.........
