    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....

Bad Guy Bad Experience with Carson Phelps of Herps Etc

and you have so much to contribute to this thread , my point is you and chris are
talking to each other in a public forum and have no direct info here just as you had no info on that stupid thread 30 pages of bs congrats and that laura / artie comment is long resolved as im sure you are aware but nice job beating that dead horse too

By the way, our "contrbutions" to this thread exposed Carson for the deceptive person he is and were probably instrumental in getting Guy the money he got. The closure remains to be seen.
 
Just keeping everyone update, due to weather the ball python package that was suppose to be shipped to IAH airport was delayed by Carson due to weather in NJ. I should be receiving them next Thursday at IAH.

Thank you for that shocking update. Guess no one will be getting animals from Carson til Thursday.
 
I'm not siding with Carson at all, and I'm about 50 mins from Blackwood. It has been really cold here and we just had a ton of snow dump the other day. Its suppose to be freakish cold till Tuesday or Wednesday.

Guy, Carsons not lying about the weather.

I am 40 minutes from Blackwood and my brother lives there now. It didn't start snowing til 5ish and didn't accumulate much til late evening. Unless Texas is freezing with SNOW ON THE GROUND, he could have, and should have shipped.
 
I was just stating about the weather conditions Chris! Not disagreeing with you and the weather forecast was known days prior and he should of shipped then.

I'm still curious on if Carson had/has the permits for the Rat snakes..


Non topic, how the heck do you use the " Quote " thing?

Wasn't being accusatory toward you Mike. Just stating an opinion directed at Carson.
 
Never took it like that Chris, knew what you meant.

Not sure if Carsons using the weather as a stall technique, since he has a track record of using excuses to delay shipments.

He had the option to send no snakes in lieu of answering Carson's question here. 17,000 plus views with but a handful of supporters soon to be dwindling. Do yoirself a favor and come clean Carson. End this before a storm hits.

Sorry. Meant to say in lieu of answering GUY'S question.

Not taking sides at all here, but I NEVER would have shipped with these listed conditions...regardless of what time the snow arrived that day. The animals lives aren't worth that risk.

I believe if the animals are packed, insulated and labled properly, they would be safe to ship. I'm nit sure where the risk is. I think Carson would agree and would be suprised if he didn't ship to someone else on the day in question. JMO.
 
I 1000 percent ship out 1000 or more balls a year

Thousand(s) was alittle steep on my part


As far as weather goes if its to cold I won't ship
No matter how many heat packs etc

99 percent of the time airlines only

Once in a blue moon ill ship fed ex if there's a break in the weather

Thank you for this post. :yesnod: just out curiosity, what temp do you consider too cold?
 
Via airlines

Ill do 30 to 40 degrees and above


There's other factor aswell
if its a connecting flight,direct flight,the temps on the receivers end,is the plane temp control

My main concern is the safety of the snake or snakes
