    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 Bear34653 posible Scammer

Cody, you said "the boa ad looks legit though its not the best quality pic so i think it might really be his snake. "

Did you see the date on the bottom right of it? It was from 2008! Who would sell an animal with a 2 year old pic clearly stated on the actual picture?? lol

Wow, I'm FLUENT in redneck, but that's straight outta the bayou. Here's a tip, use SPELL CHECK. I smell *sniff* scammer.

If you want to prove yourself, post a pic of YOUR spider and sunglow with your ID in the pic.
 
This guy is incredible. It keeps on piling up. Scum like him makes it so hard for honest small scale breeders. But KARMA is a b@#!$ he will get whats coming to him. As a matter of fact I got a pm from someone who knows bear and would like to remain anonymous with some really interesting info. Apparently bear was arrested recently for failure to pay child support. Hopefully next time the cops will leave him in jail.
 
I am the 3rd Party in this part of the story Please Read!!!!

In June of 2009 I Met Ron for the 1st time at his home. I purchased a Red-tail baby boa from him ( told was sexed Female) , at the time we were new to the industry and not UTD on Florida's rules & regulations about Class III Lisc. etc.
I met Brian (brd7666) a few days later and brought the Red Tail with me to have him confirm the sex. She was a HE! We ended up getting a beautiful Female (PROPERLY SEXED) from Brian and she is a beauty! We saw Ron running an ad for a "Banded Ball" at the same time too, we wanted to give Ron a second chance and said we were not interested in purchasing a male boa at the time , insted we ended up the the "Banded Ball" and some cash out of pocket!!! It was fine until we got home and realized just how sick the animal was. It wouldn't eat and we began to notice bubbles of fluid from it's nose. It was IMMEDIATLY taken to an Emergency Vet. It spent a week under the care of an Emergency Vet clinic in Tampa and was diagnosed with a severe Respitory infection. After a week of medical attention the snake took a drastic turn for the worse and had to be put down.
Since then I had no other dealings with Ron. We now have our own business and stand firm against those that choose not to play by the rules!!!
It's situations like this that only make things harder for the people in this industry that are doing things legit!
My name is Nicole and I am not scared to stand up and say what Ron is doing is un-acceptable !

Ron is a local guy in the area that I live in. I can tell you in all honesty, I would never own an animal that he even touched. He runs a lot of ads on Craigslist in the Tampa Bay area. He is running them now. Most of what he has is not the best quality. I run ads on Craigslist myself and have met a few people who have bought from him and they don't say anything nice about him. Every now and then you will see people trashing him on Craigslist for selling sick animals. Some people I met from a sale on Craigslist brought a boa with them when I first met them and they asked me to check the sex for them. They bought it from Ron and it was not sexed correctly, they also had purchased a Ball Python from him that had to have medical attention. They don't speak very highly of him at all. The pet store that he used to hang out at is called, Mr Weebees Pets in New Port Richey, Phil the owner says if he wasn't spending money in his store he wouldn't even want him in there. One of his friends that he buys from is named Joe, and he told me that Ron is always selling sick animals. I would use extreme caution with this guy, too many good sellers out there. Hope this helps.

Mr. Rogers - how's the neighborhood? Around here it's a bit more scrutinizing. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve ... nice job. But is that mug shot really Ron Rogers or Lou Costello after a bad night?

Seriously though RON ... you're trying to defend a photo you stole off Google and advertised as your snake? (it looks like my snake .. yeah, okay).
Wrong!
And how about addressing the mug shot and Pasco Sheriff's arrest record?

Pasco County shows a guy with your exact name as a felony child support offender (screen shot taken). Nice.
Make 'em & dump 'em doesn't fly with animals ... let alone children. Not saying it is you, of course. You have a common name, after all ... just would love to hear an explanation, if possible.

Id also like to hear an explantion for the spider pic he stole.
 
Laura if he cares to answer,he would need to take a pic of himself and another of his drivers license..But the way it seems now,I dont think this guy is gonna do any of that,except say it isnt him.....Which, I probably wouldnt believe...
 
I think he spent all three strikes in a row on that one you are "Out of Character Points"
What I meant to say is Ron you should find a new job something constructive like say Washing dishes or somethin Bra!
