    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 Guy Cris Brodbeck 247 reptiles

If we can get it posted that would be great. This more like the fauna 10 years ago helping each other. Anyone remember the wolf pack? If we can't figure out how to post text then its time to be done with it. Most of the people posting on this forum have joined in the past 2 years and have a ball python. Its not just me most long term breeders are distancing themselves from here. They hate the negativity and people calling buying 2 geckos a business transaction. I will not internet bullied by people supporting scammer. I understand stand they want some proof. Not one of them has ask cris to come on here.
 
You're right, Alex...lots of BOI threads have no proof. The frustrating thing to me is when an OP claims to have proof and it never materializes.

I don't think anyone here wants to support a scammer. Hopefully you can get those texts posted- they help strengthen your case.

As has already been said, if someone started a Bad Guy thread about you, I think you would appreciate people not taking the OP's words as gospel, but looking at the information and making a decision for themselves. Help us have more information...that's all people are asking for.

Boo hoo? You've had plenty of time to "figure out" how to post proof here. You HAVEN'T! You want people to take you seriously after that ridiculous post. I bet you'll have no problem posting proof/names of those "long term breeders" who are distancing themselves from here. Name them so we can search to see why they really distanced themselves from here.but I digress. Please site one post here where ANYONE has supported a scammer. If the BOI isn't working for you, IT'S YOUR FAULT!

Oh, and if you gave someone fifty cents for a gecko's turd and wasn't satisfied, you would be callung it a "business transaction".
 
On the galaxy s3, s4 you push the power key and the home key at the same time to take a screen shot. Load the text on the screen and take the screen shot. Scroll down take another and so on until you have taken a screen shot of all the messages. Then upload the screenshots.

There might be a easier method but that is how I know to do it.
 
my name is spelled christopher allen brodbeck or chris not cris, i never bother to reply to this page because this is high school stuff, and anyone that really knows me i always try to make it right but i wanted to make everything clean because i hear a lot about this page.

1. he told me they were free but he offer to a guy name pat first, when pat never called him back, i got them. he didn't want them because he hurt his back and could not left them anymore. and some other reasons too and for hooking him up with most of his snakes that he had. and he know i would hook him up with other reptiles when he wanted to start something new...

2. when he found out i was selling them, he change hes mine and wanted something for them. ( i was selling them because of the new law in Ohio) being a good friend i said sure what do you want. after he told me what he wanted, it toke little while to get it but when i got it in, he wanted something else, every time i got something in he change hes mine again, i got piss and said no more. the deal is done. then months went by and then he wrote this page. then i contact him to make him happy and stop this high school stuff. he said he wanted gargoyle gecko, i had 4 of them, and told him to meet me at the columbus reptile show. he never showed up. someone that bother me so much and wrote this... you think he would show up... but didn't

3. i never was hiding, i toke a break from reptiles, dealing with people like this takes a lot out of you...lol, when i came back i open a shop in grove city, ohio. why would someone that is hiding, open a shop that everyone can find him??? yes i did close down after a year being there in grove city, because of grove city, now i am open on west broad st, has the reptile hut, i didn't change the name to hide anything, i change it because i am not open 24/7. and reptile hut sounds better... so if anyone wants to know more about me just stop by my shop... www.reptilehut.com

alex if i had proof i would post it in my first post... i hate this high school stuff...
 
Cris your first store closed because you abused your animals and keep them in horrible conditions. You have a bad name all over facebook in ohio and at shows in our area. You new this post was up last year and told me at a show you were still moving animals so it didn't hurt your business. So why now come a try to lie. I hope your new store closes in a month like your other one. This guy never fulfilled his part of trade period. I put this bad experience behind me and moving on. You guys have fun with this animal abuser.
 
Even the kick brothers are looking for this guy. He took peoples money for deposit when he worked for them.
 
its funny how you can't get the facts right...lol cry your good at that and lie to your self to make you feel better... say what you want. i am done playing high school stuff with you. grow up. our deal is done...

So, you knowingly turned living animals that are dependent on their keeper over to such a bad person ? That makes total sense to me. You should just cull yourself from the herd so to speak.
 
Snake man this is way before he open the stores. I had no clue he was a flipper and bad person at the time
 
He said he loved the big ones and had worked with them for years and was keeping them. He was suppost to bring me a female green tree monitor.
 
Well I know two people I am NEVER going to do business with.

To Alex, you really need to stop this slandering behavior. You keep saying that he is a bad person with out proving anything. At this point, I don't believe a word out of your mouth.

To Chris, you state that you are tired of this high school stuff, yet you continue to behave like you are in high school. He said she said stuff. The quickest way out is to post they where given to you for free and prove what you said.

To both of you I am going to consider you both pathological liars until you provide any proof. Your words is worthless now.
