    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....

Bobby Pruett "Possible Law Suit"

yeah Bobby.
get that thing medicated as soon as you can.
Meningitis can be deadly if left untreated.

Also whichever one of you gets the final result...
Let me know if I was right about the infection thing and what antibiotics the doc has ordered.
 
Thanks Ritchie, for sparing me.
Sparing you?
hey now...I don't usually "attack" someone unless there was a reason to.
Actually sometimes my line of questioning.....people sometimes consider as an attack.


But hey.....we are all after one thing.

To make the herp world a better place.


Peace and love to all............ he he he GROSS
 
Bobby Pruett

I just want to start by saying THANKS to everyone!!!! My phone has been ringing off the hook today with a lot of wonderful people giving great advice and sympothy.I am just overwhelmed that we were all able to come together and get this matter resolved! Enough of the mushy stuff!!! Bobby Pruett called me on the phone a few minutes ago and we worked everything out.He is shipping me my animals tomorrow and I am shipping his snow tomorrow.I will still back everything up with a vet report when I recieve the official copy.I commend Bobby for the rational conversation we had about this matter and I am glad it is resolved,my fingers are getting tired of typing.Bobby seems to be concerned for the animal and wants to be able to treat him his self.Once again.....Thanks everyone...

Randy Bush
 
Congratulations to both of you and best regards.

:)
 
I'm rather surprised that in 11 pages of posts neither party has posted a picture of the animal. Would either of you be able to put up a pic so those of us following this thread can see just what condition the animal is/was in?
 
Bobby Pruett

I can post pics tomorrow but Bobby Pruett has taken responsibility for the animal and will be caring for him when he gets him back.I promised I would show some pics so I will get them up asap.I really hope Bobby Keeps me updated on him because I truly want him to thrive and do well.Thanks to everyone again and I will talk to yaw tomorrow.I'm going to bed.I'm at the fire dept...I'll probably get a call soon as I lay down!!!

Randy Bush
 
If this gets handled maturely and honestly by both parties, then perhaps we can all see how the BOI has helped out in some way. I am very happy for you and hope that your deal works out! Take care!

Billy Fraser
 
I too am glad to see this ended well
THE SNAKE WAS NOT REPRESENTED HONESTLY...period
so now it goes back to the honest dealer Bobby
Bobby you mentioned me being a joke since the boi started[ I guess when backed into a corner you lash out[ to my face you would not say that]
The difference between me and you is I am 100% honest ...are you??? this deal proves that.
Don't you think that if you represented your animals honestly there would not be 10 or 11 pages to this thread
jokes on you bobby...no jokes on the snake cause its going back to your EXPERT care

Hi John,
You must have missed the post on the 1st page about pictures. Bobby said that pictures of the Snow were on his web site. He's shown in a few different poses. There are full body shots, 2 closeup head shots, breeding shots. The pictures show the snake very well. Now they're pictures that were taken before the snake was shipped, but it's still the same snake. If you want to check out the pictures the URL is: http://www.corallus.com/arborealsetc/snow_boa.htm

By the way, I think Bobby Pruett is a "GOOD GUY" and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him. When this thread started I wasn't sure. Going by some of his replies....... I still wasnt' sure. Going by the way this thread ended. YEAH!!! I'm sure. He's a GREAT GUY and an asset to the herp community.
WAY TO GO BOBBY PRUETT!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
 
Resolved?

I don't see that this is reallly resolved at all. I think the vet report and pictures should be posted quickly.
It should not have reached this point in the first place. I truly believe any honest dealer would have shipped the animals back in the first place to save his reputation and to prove to any doubters that he is a good seller.
After reading the forum on the site Jim provided, I don't think I would want to buy from a dealer like Bobby. Bobby doesn't seem like a person even concerned with his customers feelings or actually not much of anyone else's either. I feel like nothing would have happened if Randy could not produce a vet report that could be posted.
I could be very wrong, I don't know either party involved, but my instincts tell me that this was a deliberate act of deception.
Good luck to you both,
Candy King

Wow!

That snake does look very skinny, especially with the skin hanging in folds like that. You did the right thing in this case.
