    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....

Anyone know of South Florida Rodents

Hello -

I can forgive and forget trying to generate buzz, but I'm not sure why you never returned my call a couple of weeks ago.

Uhmmmmm.....I'll take a guess. Because he was busy trying to pull the wool over our eyes?

Why in the world would you want to support a real scumbag anyway? Why would you want to be known to associate with one?

I myself feel pretty duped...and quite frankly, embarassed!!! I did post some feedback, as I have purchased from him and was satisfied with my order.

I wanted to support someone local, however in light of this post I'm finding I'm not comfortable with deceitful activity like this. I find myself questioning what else would South Florida Rodents be deceitful about.

There is another feeder rodent breeder about the same distance from me with a good reputation. I think that I will now be conducting my business elsewhere.
 
Bill,
I'm sorry but I did not receive any messages from you, via email or Phone. I did reply to your post last week. check the past messages

I'm new to this forum, but I am well established in the chondro forums. My name is Bob. I am in no way affiliated with SFRodents nor do I intend to be. As an outside observer, I just want to post my experience. I visited his facility and was impressed. It is very clean and well organized. His prices are very competitive also.

As far as what Jack did here, I agree that it was wrong. Jack seems to be genuinly sorry for the deception. I know how close nit most of these forums can be, so I understand everyone's offense.

Once all this blows over, I just want to pass on, that Jack is a good guy to deal with, and anyone who buys from him will not be disappointed.

Just my .02,

Bob
 
Robert, if what you say is true, it will show itself in due time. But this is going to be in peoples minds for a while, and Jack just needs to suck it up until then. I for one need to SEE consistency, and that takes time. No other way to achieve it.

Bob,

While I don't discount your opinion of his facility prices, and the quality of feeders, you registered at this site today and posted the above not long after that. Did Jack ask you to speak up for him? Did someone else? Someone mentioned this thread to you and I don't really believe in coincidences.

I find Jack's "remorse" less than sincere. He's really only sorry that he got caught. Otherwise he'd likely have kept it up. He wanted to create "buzz" about his business but in the process may have lied about one of the biggest names in the industry. Even if what he said was true what he did was underhanded and deceitful. He could have the greatest product in the world but he lacks ethics and morals. Those are not things that one turns on and off. They're like testicles. Either you have them or you don't. He does not.

IP check?
 
I live a stones throw away from Jack's place. I have purchased from him a couple times and was impressed with his facility, the last time was just before he started selling on the internet. I didn't like the fact that he was not offering frozen at the time and found he was a little over priced. I have since been using someone 30 miles away.

I will say that although I am not pleased with his attempt to generate business in this fashion, he did seem to be a really nice fellow.

Jim O,
I am in no way connected to SF Rodents, nor did he or anyone else ask me to say something. His business had been brought up on the MVF forum and since he was close I decided I would investigate. I saw a post on the MVF chondroforum that mentioned he was getting blasted on Fauna. I believe it was Bill who mentioned it.

I am not making light of what he did in here. It was stupid and it blew up in his face. He will have to ride out the aftermath. I was just saying that his animals are good and prices are good.

in response to this

Last year I opened up a saltwater fish and reptile store here in Miami. Jack was my main rat supplier , its kind of suprising to see him try to "buzz" his business up in this manner. Quality was there and the facility is kept up every day. His worker Bill is what probably kept me coming back with orders.

I would like to back his rats up but not the prices and his business ethics. I changed to a new company a few months back and I am completely happy but in regards with Lazy , I wouldnt bash him down because he does offer quality food for our reptiles. Maybe his prices will drop now that he has been caught?

take care

i was refured to this site after a bad sale from another "breeder" who is listed on this site.. i purchased a bearded dragon from this person and then was refured to this website..

i have delt with jack and his company countless times. i make monthly visits to his establishment/personal home and he and his staff are very friendly, im sad to see this thread to be quite honest as jack doesnt seem to be that kind of person to me. hes always been very professional and his stock is wonderful. in fact before rehoming my snakes i purchased feeders from him numerous times and they were always of wonderful quality... far superior to the feeders in the regular "pet stores" i have and will continue to recommend his buisness. as a matter of fact we now have pet rats who came from jacks lines.. they were hand selected and out of the nine rats i own those two are the best tempered and by far the healthiest. if there were stock in jack i would most certainly take part!

btw i am no way affilitated with jacks buisness, i am a buyer of his products, now including but not limited to his dry goods, do all the ip checks you want.. shoot ill even offer my personal cell phone number as proof.

:iagree: I have to second this -- I wonder if The Mouse Factory knows he's using their images to sell his rodents. I thought the pictures looked awfully familiar.

I called Jack this afternoon at 4:20PM Central Time regarding this.

He stated that "The Mouse Factory" actually got them from him :rolleyes:
