    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.....

    =====================
    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

PS. Arpril There is really nonthing for me to say to make this better on my part it has truly been a lack of customer service which I feel bad about, with out posting any of my reptile related issues. Please replay with a amount you feel is worth your time and effort due to the time it has taken to get this clear! I will be paid on 5/4/07. if I am unable to maker the meeting I will arrive early and give it to the meeting president. I also have to drop off some books and update my membership!
Translation from Chuckie speak to English:

April, I have your snakes and I am keeping them. You will never receive a penny from me.
Thanks for taking a screwing from CS Reptiles
COME BACK SOON!
 
Hey chuckie, why don't you just send me a check, made out for what you owe april. I'll put it in my account and when it clears I'll send her the money.

Since you can't seem to pay this poor girl on your own, let me help you out.

Of course the down side to this is, if you bounce your check, you'll have me on you for the rest of forever.

Why don't you quit screwing around and get this over with?
 
schmuck

Ronald, your last two posts were spot-on accurate. You summed up ole chuckles far more accurately than I ever could.

It looks like our high tech, entrepreneur, pocket bike magnate isn't making quite as much money as he claims.

April, why dont you let the powers-that-be at that herp society know of chuckie's antics.. They may not be so anxious to collect his dues when they find out what a loser he is.

And keeping this thread on the first page is a very good idea.

Sincerely,

Gino


ps-schmuck, when are you going to begin selling 'hets?' That is the only repti-scam that you have yet to take part in. But, I guess that dealing smack does take up a lot of one's time.

Gosh, isn't that what you told her a couple of months ago, and never showed up?

How long do you think people are going to believe your lies?

Yup, I read it too. But, that's the thing with crack heads. They believe their own lies enough to pass a polygraph. :yesnod:

For the last time, I don't have a car! I can't drive there and it's not easy to get to by bus. I did occasionally rent cars for the weekend, but I can't really afford to do that and shouldn't have to to get paid. You have my address, SEND me the money! Try mailing it - it works great! See, you just put the money into an envelope, seal it, put my address on it, and for only 39 cents (less than the price of gas) somebody else will bring it right to where I live! You better hurry though - postage rates are going up to 41 cents soon...

p.s. I was at the meeting again.
p.p.s Everyone else there already knew/knows his reputation.
 
I can't say I'm surprised....but I am sorry April. I forget, have you contacted the police yet? With Chuck's record, I would think they would be quite interested to know that he is now a thief as well.
 
You can report him to his local authorities for stolen property/theft. Report him to the local animal police/rescue/recovery in his town. Provide copies of any emails and phone call conversations you had that may be taped/saved on emails. Also, write down what was said and dates and times as much as possible and any witnesses to this transaction. I think emails are always a better way to do trades than phones because it is easy to prove who said and did what and not just a he said/she said contest. Also, if he is a business, report him to the BBB if he is a member. You also might look into a background check on this guy.

Maybe with the help of some crafty friends of yours, you can get them to help put pressure on this guy to live up to his end of the agreement. Try contacting people who may live near him to see if they can help you track this guy down. He is a thief, plain and simple. Google him to see where else he has been "lurking". Make sure to warn everyone about him. He can't accuse you of harassment because you are collecting on a debt and that makes you a debt collector. He would have to prove he did ship back to you and that you are ruining his name for no reason for a slander case, and he screws himself there as well. Plus, as cheap as this guy sounds, I doubt he has the money to file a case. You might look into filing yourself if you have the money and time. It only costs a little to file, court costs are more expensive but he probably won't show and the judgement is automatically to you.

Maybe I am just a vigilante in disguise, lol. Live and learn from this one so next time you are less likely to get burned.

wow

I have many small animals nothing large mostly purchased from RJ's in NH.
When RJ's closed their doors I asked why and was directed to this site to look around. I have never been so amused in my life and had to sign up to put in my two cents, I would even pay to be able to read these awesome threads. Honestly it would be even better to be able to find out information on things of value other than a bunch of children pulling punches on others for a quick laugh. But I know as well as most people humans can be and are ruthless for the most part it is always me me me. Very few people will own up to a mistake or make things right. A lot of these threads, and I have read a lot of them, contain the same comedians in them. Just like always if you have nothing of value to say just keep your hands off the key board. I can see how this could be a very hard habit to break, where else can you slam on some one and not have to show your face. In my eyes you must not value your time very much!! If you have a problem say it then drop the childish crap.
Lets all grow up so threads like this can be of value not how well someone may write.

After reading the RJ thread and seeing the load of unresolved complaints against him I would like to thank you for posting this statement.
You have demonstrated that the BOI is indeed effective in eliminating the Bad Guys from our hobby/industry.
The fact that you chose to blast the posters here and on the RJ thread for reporting their bad dealings, combined with this statement,
stoneguy said:
If you purchase something online it is a risk you take.
demonstrates that you have no understanding what the BOI is all about which is exposing the liars, thieves and scammers so we can feel secure in dealing with breeders and dealers on line.

You may be angry that your friend is no longer in business but place the blame where it belongs, with the person who had lousey ethics and morals. Not with the people who report those failings.
 
I fully understand why people use this site it is to gather the "valuable" information needed to make a wise choice in whom to spend their money with.
I have read many threads on this site and most of it is not of value it appears to be who can trash who. I do not know you or any one else here in person, but a lot of these threads paint a good picture of the writer.
There have been many cases in which RJ's was also burned on many deals.
I am not mad or upset, he did not lose his business he closed shop on his own.
I also own a business, not animal related, but I also have to deal with the public and to tell the truth some people just out right suck! I am not here to say who is right or wrong because like I said earlier only a few people will admit to being wrong, if I do a wrong I will try my best to make it right. Sometimes people will not let go and it sucks. I had just signed up with this site and it appears to me their is valuable information here but 90% of it is just trash talking. I believe everyone is entitled to an opinion yours may differ than mine but it is your opinion and I respect it. But to talk trash is of no value. From what I have seen scrolling through these threads it would be hard to pick and choose through the trash, but there is freedom of speech. But there are also limits to that if you call some one out you should have something in writing. There are many threads that could lead to trouble if they have not already. Let me know if I am on the right track your opinion is yours and mine is mine.

there is lots of good information here, i just think it might be better off for you then, if you just avoid the BOI altogether. i can somewhat agree that the BOI is filled with LOTS of nonsense, but really as off topic as it can get it is mostly still relevant to the situation at hand. Its just reading a thread that is 160 or so pages long is a bit time consuming and most people DONT want to do it.

Stick to the forums and you will find that 80% of it is useful information that you can learn from. I say 80% because there are a few discussion forums that are just kind of random, and lots and lots of polls :)

Enjoy
 
Holy crap! We close petshops down? Really? RJ claims we have the ability to do this and actually directed a customer of his here to see how we do it? Wow.

What is it with you coming here a couple days ago and just playing Devil's Advocate??? :angry: GET REAL MAN, JUST GET REAL, LEAVE THE SITE THEN. :bolt01: I agree, lots of nonsense in the boi as well, but YOU ARE A PART OF THAT nonsense! How can you still claim everyone on that other thread was out to just mess RJ's up. Some of the biggest names in the entire industry even had the same points of views, like NERD, like Prehistoric and others, are they all out to get him?? :shrug01: You are doing NOTHING but making YOURSELF look BAD as well for selling out all of your morals for obviously bad transactions!!!

before you leave..... if you can do your first useful task please.....

Thank you much I will go take a stroll.

No problem, if you see Rob since I cant get in contact try to find out when I will get my black head? That would be a lot more helpful than all the posts you have made so far many times over.

I never said right or wrong! But to post BS is no help to any one if you want to name names I will and I will start with you!! It just sucks that if I was to come on this site to find out some real info I have to sift through the crap to get to the valid comments not who spells right and who has proper grammar.
Nobody on this site knows me or who I am. This is just my opinion you have yours and I can have mine. Just because I was told to look on this site for information by someone does not mean I agree with what has been done. I work hard for my money also, if there were people taken by RJ's Ican feel for them. But like I said he was also burned many times by posters on this site.
Who are you to tell me I should not be here, do you know me? NO I have the same rights to use this site as you do! Why are you here? Do I care? NO
If you want to play lets play. It is really amusing that you would even call me out. I am not stupid and I know what this site is for and it is of value minus all the crap.

That sounds like you are saying you have intimate knowledge of RJ's business deals. Both on ones in which he got burned and also on ones where he has burned others.

You sure dont sound like some innocent bystander just popping in to see what things are all about.
