You're really reaching here Jim. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. Your focus now should be on Mr. Reid's post. The dead BP has been addressed. Next!

 

[DavidBeard]

"some" being the operative word. I've had exactly 3 Ball Pythons TOTAL in the last 5+ years.

what other distraction tactic are you going to employ next, Jim?

Notice the setup & thermostat/heat source pictured there.....explain to me how MY HUSBANDRY killed that animal in 48 hours, please. If you're going to infer that I don't knowhow to keep a BP then you better have tangible empirical evidence.

Who was laughing at the snake's death? You brought it up before.

Okay - I asked David when he posted, and he elected not to have a necropsy done on that snake because it was one he had not had very long.

To be honest, given the nature of how he acquired that snake, and that he hadn't had it very long, I think it's a tall order to assume that he killed it; it came from someone local if I recall correctly, who may or may not have had it in questionable conditions prior to arriving in David's care.

I disagree with this thread, and I think that you're a good guy, Jim, but I don't think the little lesser's unfortunate passing is necessarily indicative of anything regarding David's care. There are way too many variables that could have gone into that, given that he hadn't had it very long (less than a week, if I recall correctly?).

I agree, irrelevant. We've all had snakes die shortly after purchase. Surely Jim has as well.

You've shown that he acquired a single BP, which in no way contradicts what he's said. This is yet another example of your interpretation of events not lining up with any plane of rational reality that I'm aware of. I guess it's a good thing that so many are so eager to see you in the best possible light, cause each time you post it's just raising more flags in my eyes.

I could care less about the $400. If it makes you feel better, send it to Wounded Warriers foundation or Make A Wish or McDonalds House. I am now peeved about you claiming my Het male did not prove out. If he actually did not prove out, and genetically, there is no way he could not have, as his mom was a visual VPI Axanthic previously proven out as such, why would you allow Brock to give me the trio of Spectres? You were paying me for an animal that you sent me, that was not what it was supposed to be! Why on Earth would you send me what equaled to a payment, if you did not get what you were supposed to get? You are digging yourself a big hole. The guys who got the siblings to your male, are all awesome guys, with stellar reputations. They all proved out, and I saw with my own eyes, the Sulfur Axanthic babies produced here in Temecula. I will not name them, not going to drag them into this like Beard dragged me back into it, but you have ALL heard of one, and anyone in So Cal has heard of the other. I have a stellar reputation that I worked hard to get. There is no doubt that you stating my animal did not prove out is anything but sour grapes. This moves you from just making a stupid mistake and not living up to your side of the deal and passing the buck, to a certified BAD GUY. I was never a huge fan of Brock, but I don't hate the guy either. We had our differences, and to be honest, must not have been that big of a deal because I cannot even remember what our disagreements were about....probably a Sulfur or Banana thing....who knows.

So for a guy that has only 3 ball pythons in the last 5+ years. You sure give a lot of advice on Facebook on them.........

The more you talk the more it is showing your true colors. Snakes do die. It happens to the best keepers out there, but you come off as a 20 season veteran. You have had 3 ball pythons, and didn't know who Brock was. Ok I am still good with this, but giving advice to new keepers on something you admitted you don't have experience with is just wrong!

The lesser that died, I had for roughly 48 hours. I obtained it from a local minor person who was having a tough time dealing with the snake because he said it "was nippy".....outwardly it was in decent health and I set it up and left the snake alone. Came home from work and found it dead laying on its back. It has been roughly ten years since I had a snake die in my care, and I've had quite a few.

I hope people are starting to see the signs that I saw and why I started this thread....Jim *thinks* he is damaging MY character with his posts when in fact he is doing the opposite.

 

[DavidBeard]

I don't keep as many Ball Pythons as I used to, but overall, in the past 20 years I have kept at least 100 Ball Python, many of which were rescues. Ball Pythons were the first exotic snake species I kept as a young person and I have a good amount of experience with them. in fact, I believe the Lesser was the first BP I have EVER had die while in my care.

And we all know that decades of expertise are required to be able to righteously give advice on how to keep a BP.

$10 says David Beard wears women's panties at times so he can "understand the uphill battle women have to overcome to succeed in a man's world."

Funny thing about this. I wonder the same thing when this was posted. I stater here in 2002. Everyone had a lot respect for this place. The moderators were looked up to. You actually had respect for them. After this experience I have lost a lot of respect for this place.

Well my old cornsnake friend Rich Z

Deflect much?

Jim, like your "old friend" Rich said, if the moderators aren't catering sufficiently to your desired wishes and you have no respect for our team: stop posting, log off and move on. Rich helped you access your old account & I said you had a professional set up at an expo. No respect for us, hum? I'll pass then on whatever it is you think we have failed to do on your behalf. Fight your battle for you? Silence other members? Pamper you? No thanks.

Lol! You waited five years to make a spectacle of yourself. Mission accomplished! That red chicklet suits you well.

I know what you mean. I have to work my way up. I was recently denied a job due to my inactivity in the fauna forums. I'm attempting to work my way up to forum blackbelt so I can succeed in life. Maybe one day, I will have a successful life and fruitful career if I spend enough time posting here. Wish me luck.

Maybe I'll make a post about someone I saw throwing a cigarette butt out their car window. That will speak volumes about their business practice and whether or not they should be trusted to breed and sell ball pythons.

 

[squigypoo808]

Are you referring to this specific instance, or are you saying that no one should ever discuss Jim no matter what he does, whether it be positive or negative, or are you saying that no reptile transactions by anyone should be discussed whether good or bad?

ok if he did what he did karma is big on him but its not right to troll on someones facebook and post it on here and make him look like small grain of sand its just wrong

Aaallrighty then. I will wish you good luck, only because I consider myself a philanthropist and a "people person". I do agree on the littering thing. I hate that!

I can't be the only one who sees parallels in this thread and the Ty Park/Sugarhedgie thread.......guy who allegedly has a good rep, has one bad deal then has lots of groupies who make him look worse and his posts also dig the hole deeper.

So somedays I want to just retire and do reptiles. Then ridiculous things like this happen. Then I want to dig deeper in my career, and just scale back on reptiles.

I still find it hard that when you accept animals in payment over money, and someone feels that is bad. You get the bad guy label slapped on your behind here. Ever think Manny is started correct the ways of his past? If so. I pity the person he tries to make restitution to. Look what happen to me.

I held this place to a higher standard then Facebook. I don't need any to fight my battles. If you don't cause battles. You don't have to fight many.

I even to offer up to try to correct a deal that really wasn't fully mine from several years ago. That does seem to be wanted. So people are going to either like or not like me at this point.

I don't want to flat out say I have wasted a lot time here, but truly I have. A taken a couple good things away from it.

I feel I may offended a person or two that I did not mean to over moderator comments. In no way did I mean disrespect for all of them.

You know I have done a lot for the reptile community. I will continue to do so, but you know for several people out there have showed support for my business, and my efforts. I would feel as if I would be letting them down.

The overwhelming amount of texts, pm's, and a couple of calls of support on this matter was much appreciated.

If you feel that I did something wrong by accepting some boas. Then you are going to label me the bad guy. I can't change that. If you feel Davids post was not warranted. You will label him the bad guy. It is up to you??
