    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 Blaze Garrett snake paid for not in the shipment with others.....

will be up soon just getting kids late dinner...no problem...Why are you trashing anyone? not really the point on here is it Chuck?

Anna
 
I also would now like to see the pictures of your enclosures, when, and if you can provide them.
Another great line in the movie is "Don't you hurt my dog"! LOL!
 
Chuck,
Why not give her a break, IF she just lost out on the Albino and was screwed over by Blaze, the last thing she needs is you coming down on her about her set-ups. I may be missing where this is relavant to whether Blaze sent the Albino or not.

Bill Black

Are you thoroughly convinced that she is telling the truth, based on the scenario that she presented? I'm not sure! I haven't made up my mind, yet!

Something about this, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but?!?!

What bothers me is that she opened this package, in front of the busy UPS driver and OMG, the most expensive snake of the bunch happens to be missing. Then the driver is was told to note that it was an "incomplete order." As if he had any clue of what was supposed to be in the box. Not to mention that the box was not tampered with.

It could happen but there seems to be more holes in this story, then a room full on colanders!

The whole thing being brought up by Bill is completely valid. She, (or her husband) should not have ordered any animal that they were not prepared to receive or care for! That's just common sense and being responsible!

Two up for you Chuck....did you need dimensions? Dinner now, so you didn't have to wait on picts..

Anna

Ohhhh....you want to play the game now? Ok.

Dimensions of what? The caging or your old prison cell? I can roughly gauge the size of your caging according to other objects that appear in the photos. If its the cell your speaking of I'll have to take your word for it, but I've heard they run 9 X 6.

Nice caging, but where are the pictures of your quarantine room? You aren't seriously suggesting that your bedroom is your quarantine room, are you?

And where is the female breeder housed that you intended on breeding with the missing albino? Is she also housed in your bedroom? Or is she stored in a converted closet or perhaps the bathroom?

Look, get this in your head and don't forget it. You were not screwed by not getting the male (if that's the truth). You were screwed when you got the idea that you could jump into this game to make a quick buck by plopping tanks down in every room of your house to begin breeding and cutting corners on some very basic husbandry skills. And it aint my fault for identifying those mistakes and letting you know about it, sister. You did the writing and I did the reading.

If you are owed a snake I hope you get it. But get the foolish notion that you're all set up for properly breeding out of your head, because from everything I've seen and read so far points to you not being ready at all.

I know we are in a recession, but your rush to make a fast buck from breeding (or to simply cover your hobby expenses) is spelling disaster to some poor newbs that cant identify what most with experience can see as clearly as I and others are seeing it. Isn't that like sort of the dilemma you're in now - like dealing with someone you don't know and getting burned?

I understand that this is an issue outside of your original complaint, but its an issue that is important nonetheless.
 
These are some pointed opinions. But I don't know where you got an idea I was in a prison cell? why would you continue on this? Since you brought it up, arrested and released is a far cry from being incarcerated or in a prison.

I asked if you wanted dimensions Chuck because my husband asked for them when a tank was stated as a certain size in an ad, never meant to be rude.

This thread has gone to an issue not pertaining to the missing snake and frankly I see nothing but your enjoyment of embarrassing me here. I would think if this is your choice of tactic that this BOI thread is not being used at it's guidelines and maybe you feel it should be closed.

Again, I did not mean anything by asking if you wanted the tank dims. You have my apology if you felt I was being rude.

Here is whats most important for you to answer......

Where are the pictures of your quarantine room? You aren't seriously suggesting that your bedroom is your quarantine room, are you?

And where is the female breeder housed that you intended on breeding with the missing albino? Is she also housed in your bedroom? Or is she stored in a converted closet or perhaps the bathroom?

Are Anna and Kelly clearly newbies in this hobby? The answer is a resolute yes, and I'm sure they will agree with that. Could this fact have led to them being ripped off of a snake? Yes. Now, it's still unclear whether or not there was a missing albino, and we may not ever know, but a newbie would be easier to scam.

But what right does that give you to treat them like they're committing animal cruelty? If you think they're husbandry skills are lacking (as I'm sure most newbies are guilty of at one point or another) then why not send a helpful PM or give some friendly advice? I've admired some of your posts in the past. Your razor tongue (or keyboard as the case may be), and lack of inhibitions have led to some scathing posts directed towards scammers that need nothing more than a kick in the ass.

But now, you're just being a dick. Where in the house Anna and Kelly keep their snakes has no bearing on the issues of this thread. If they don't quarantine their snakes, then kindly advise them that it is a prudent practice. But don't act like they deserve to be dragged through mud over it.

Chuck, I know you're fauna's favorite pet and so this may be an unpopular thing to say, but where do you get off being so condescending, insulting, and self-righteous in these posts? Your assumptions and elitist attitude in this thread are completely uncalled for. I can't think of a single reasonable reason for your unbelievable attitude, and can only surmise that you enjoy the little satisfaction that comes with feeling like you're better than someone else.

Yeah and?
 
I never realized that I needed to have my facility, including my quarantine room, inspected and accredited by Mr. Kimmel. Perhaps he can show us all how it's done after he's done alienating some more members of the community. I'll also make sure that I submit the proper proposals, for his approval, should I decide to embark on a breeding project.

Mr Kimmel, if you're so concerned about the welfare of the animals in question, how come you haven't said squat to Blaze about his underweight pythons? Have you inspected his "facility" and "quarantine room" already? Do they meet your approval? How arrogant.

It's interesting that you (Chuck) speak as if you really cared about "newbs" as you make every effort to drag the character of OP through the mud. You've really got some balls to do a background investigation on a poster and make public the dirt you uncover. Your motives are clearly mean-spirited and self-serving. I wonder what kind of skeletons you have in your closet. How would you feel if somebody disclosed personal information about you or your family that had NOTHING to do with any discussion topic?

Just because you've posted thousands of times on Fauna (...I'm not sure what that says about you), you are not the Gatekeeper of protocol and knowledge. Your rep on this board means nothing to most of us. You are not representative of the group conscience here. I think the direction you took this thread, to a personal attack, is despicable.

The sad thing is that you're probably a good guy who just got carried away behind the anonymity of his computer.
 
And where is the female breeder housed that you intended on breeding with the missing albino?

I thought she said the female they wanted to breed with the male was one of the BPs from that same shipment?

Regardless, I agree that some of these things may have been better discussed via PM or directing the person to a 'discussion' thread, everyone does things differently and most people can always learn more. :eek:

I just want to find out what happened to the missing snake?
 
I don't expect anyone to agree with my feelings. And I certainly don't expect that anyone do things the way I feel they should be done. I think there is a standard of preparedness that they simply do not meet. I made that clear and stated if I got it wrong that they could show me with photos that I am wrong. Perhaps you think 5 or 6 snakes living in temporary housing without any permanent enclosures available and crapping in your bedroom is a fine example of good husbandry. To me its disgusting and I'll say as much and more when its presented.

I didn't do any background check on Anna. I was provided information that painted a slightly different picture of Anna than what she I'm sure would have liked us all to believe. Its not uncommon that the more honest a person can make themselves seem to be, that the more believable their story will be when it comes down to someone choosing a side. Sometimes it takes such things as I do to make a person snap. And then we get to see the real person and real reason behind the storyline. Its not for everyone, certainly not you, but its worked for me and for others quite well time and again here. I have a very different set of tactics than you and its fine with me if you don't like it and wish to complain about it. But when it comes your turn here, and not that I wish any bad deals on you, you can bank on my being silent. If there is any chance that my tactics could see you clear to a resolution you can kiss that goodbye.

And just because I've posted here thousands of times means I've been in situations just like this one and ones that you are totally oblivious to. So take your whopping one post a year and your hurt feelings and pack them tightly up your keester and run along.
 
Regardless, no one is going to fess up about the missing snake.

Well lets see here. We have three choices by the way I see things...

A.) Blaze didn't send it :NoNo:

B.) Anna and Kelly have the snake and started this thread anyhow :NoNo::NoNo:

C.) Some how the snake got out in transit, re-sealed the box on it's way out and chuckled while thinking of the forthcoming Fauna thread his escape would cause. :thumbsup:
 
If that's the fact and I missed it, intending on breeding an underweight animal, then its even worse.

Regardless, no one is going to fess up about the missing snake.

Yes you did miss it and you also seem to miss the where she said that they seemed to be underweight when she recieved them and less than what Blaze's ad said they were.
 
they way this thread turned out is exactly why i feel BOI should just go the F away. it started out on topic, then Chuck came in here and basically tried to shift blame through information and supposed "evidence" that has no bearing on the thread at hand. Way to go chuck.
