    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 - Todd Tindol of Midland, TX/Carlsbad, NM

Korbin you dont even have a boi thread good or bad but I see you posting on every bad guy thread you can find, you dont know me and you dont know nothing about the situation and theres plenty to say its todds snake. Mind your own business already.

Drama queen Korbin strikes again... Read the screenshots and title first, its obvious she was well informed this is Todd Tindols snake that came from an expo. Im not giving her my money and this is between her and Todd.

Typical scammer deflections. Good luck trying to make this about Kevin. You're not nearly bright enough for effective misdirection, so give it a rest. If you can't deal with the fact that the peanut gallery has every right to interject their opinions, maybe you shouldn't have decided to play in this sandbox.

The title clearly states Todd Tindol and amys screenshots confirm she knew well ahead of time it is Todd Tindols snake
And yet Todd clearly states that there was a partnership between you two. Whether just with this particular group of animals, or in general, it makes no difference. And surprisingly enough, you're here acting as the mouthpiece. It's a little late to try to downplay your part in this.

Will do. Sean and I are partners on this for the most part and he's researchin' things for me. If I'll definitely keep you in mind.
Sooo, you're doing the "research" and all your studying didn't turn up the fact that it's clearly not a salmon hypo? I think it's just as likely that both you and Todd did know that it wasn't a salmon, and decided to continue hiding behind the "it was sold to me as" excuse.

I think I she's worth what you paid and the money's spent. You tried to talk me down to $125 before you even got her and it's nothin' about her genetics but you wanting a deal.

...but she would rather save money and buy this one and tried to complain about the price she got it for for multiple weeks until I reposted it and she came over and picked it up hoping for a cheap deal.
You and your partner sure are giving the "buyer's remorse" defense the old college try. Doesn't matter what the price was, or what she actually wanted to pay. She thought she was buying X, but ended up getting Y. Simple as that.

The same nasty cypress/aspen mixed bedding in this shot that I changed after you left.
 
my research was a post on facebook that amy screenshotted, I sold the snake for todd and thats that he has his money and she bought this snake as a wholesale animal with no guarantee and I told her what I knew about the animal.
 
-- that being said, unless the seller specifically stated "I make no genetic guarantees, this is just what I was told" I do think they should take the snake back for a refund if turns out to not be what it was marketed as and the snake is healthy. This is just solid business practice.

It was simply listed as "Wholesale stock" and the seller(s) did not make any mention of genetic guarantees. This term was never properly defined, but my interpretation was that he did not cover health concerns. However, I feel that finding that the snake is genetically misinterpreted should be the responsibility of the seller.

Additionally, I don't understand why Sean is acting as Todd's representative again. I started this thread on Todd Tindol, and I have stated that I do not hold Sean accountable for the deal.
 
That snake looks reduced in black pigmentation, no ??

it's reduced which is common in pastels but it's not a hypo 'morph' which is very specific genetics. Harald mentioned this earlier as well. Honestly, if anyone is buying/selling a 'hypo' boa, one would ASSUME it's a genetic hypo morph not a 'reduced black' normal (aka pastel).
Regardless, it was sold as Salmon which is a specific strain of hypo lineage founded by Rich Ihle.
 
Thank you for not holding me accountable, goodbye now. You were well informed it was an expo pickup from Todd and he was selling it to make some money since he is in hard times and I knew nothing about boas and you have visited my website and read the part about "wholeale stock"
 
I dont think Todd will give you your money back after reading the facebook comments, but Jeremy Brunson is offering up a trade deal for you that I think you should look at.
 
Todd left me room to play and you cant hate me for wanting to make a few bucks but I sold it for 175 and gave todd all of the money.
My question had nothing to do with you making money - the selling price was irrelevant, except for the fact that YOU made the decision to take a lower offer. You had the snake, you did the negotiation, you took the money, you turned over possession of the snake - all those things add up to YOU being the seller.

The title clearly states Todd Tindol and amys screenshots confirm she knew well ahead of time it is Todd Tindols snake
Yup, you were selling Todd's snake. As the seller, you have responsibility for the transaction.

-- "middlemen" are just as liable as the breeder IMHO. Whoever makes the sale is the one responsible for the transaction......if Sean is the one who marketed the snake and took the money for it, he's the one who should be trying to figure out how to make things right with amy, and working things out to make things right with him and Todd separately
Thank you - my point exactly. (hope you don't mind that I chopped your post, it was solely for the purpose of saving space, not changing the apparent meaning of your words)

I dont see why I should give her my money since I clearly stated its a "wholesale animal" without a guarantee and I dont want the boa since I dont work with boas.
So it isn't the fact that it was Todd's snake that is causing the problem?? Or that you don't feel the snake was misrepresented? It's because it was a "wholesale animal" (not a wholesale price, but that is a different matter...one that I have no interest in debating). You're all over the place on this one - you should pick a story and stick to it.

However, upon reflection, I'm curious as to why you seemed so firm in stating that you don't believe I deserve a refund, since this transaction is between myself and Todd.
Because the transaction was between you and Sean?

However, I feel that finding that the snake is genetically misinterpreted should be the responsibility of the seller.

Additionally, I don't understand why Sean is acting as Todd's representative again. I started this thread on Todd Tindol, and I have stated that I do not hold Sean accountable for the deal.
I understand that Todd was the owner of the snake; however, as this whole post is dedicated to repeating, Sean was the seller...UNLESS there is, in fact, a legitimate business relationship linking the two of them.
I don't know Todd, and I'm certainly not trying to protect him with these comments...but you did business with Sean. At this point, it doesn't even matter if you agree with me - one of the timeless explanations made on the BOI is that it's how a seller responds to a problem that defines him as a good guy (or bad). Sean is showing, once again, how he does things; and everybody is seeing it. The reason he's involved in this thread is because he knows he's on display...his goal is to make people believe that this falls in somebody else's lap so it doesn't reflect on him.
 
I have some good guy threads on me and not a single bad guy thread thanks hhmoore for pointing this out, amy was fully informed that its Todds snake and she spoke to him before and after jail. She doesnt hold me accountable so why should you???
 
her screenshots confirm she spoke before and after to todd, I was just the man that handed her the snake and took his money. If it had gotten sick or something while in my possession than I could be held accountable.
 
Because you sold the snake as something it wasn't - even if it was unintentional - then turned your back on your customer. If you were as stand up as you claim you are, you would either take care of your customer (and worry about settling up with Todd later), or try to act as intermediary to work something out between them.
 
She was fully informed that Todd was selling a "salmon" boa and left it with me while in jail, all I did was make the transfer thanks. Im not taking out of my pocket for someone elses deal when I made every chance for her to not buy it and made it very clear that she is buying Todd's snake who she spoke to before and after jail and saw it beforehand and knows I mentioned not guaranteeing anything that its between him and her.

Both of which are from buyers in your area, and most likely from your little FB group. Shocker. A handfull of people circling up their wagons and mostly parroting what you say. Eerily similar to another thread in which you were heavily involved.

She doesnt hold me accountable so why should you???

It also confirms that Todd lied.

As far as me and todd being partners, we went in together on a trio of atroxs and thats as far as our partnership goes at the moment

Will do. Sean and I are partners on this for the most part and he's researchin' things for me. If I'll definitely keep you in mind.
You guys should put more effort into getting your stories straight. "This" had nothing to do with an atrox.
 
My last comment in this thread (because I've already taken this further than I intended):

I understand that she spoke with Todd prior to the deal...but how did she first find out about the snake? I was left with the impression - from what you posted - that you advertised the snake on facebook. I do find it interesting that you were soliciting trades for somebody else's snakes - were you planning on presenting Todd with a nice cage, or a box of rodents?

I'm done - click <unsubscribed>

They range from abilene to midland, yes its a small area and im new to fauna but the threads are 100% real and you can e-mail any of them and confirm that.

Guess your right, and no it has nothing to do with an atrox but I was simply explaining how were supposed partners :)

All I did was give him the cash for the snake, also sold a redtail and gave him $75 for that one. Was helping a guy out is all and she was fully informed of it being Todds snake.
