    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.

    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....

Obviously you guys can't handle me being honest...I'm explaining myself your chowing to insult me when you don't know me or my home life...ill stop being so honest can we get back to reptiles please!!
and to all my friends down there watching this thread go down...don't expect me to be all friendly next time you all have something to say but you choose to sit and watch instead the main reason I stopped coming tothese forums you all just like to watch the drama...ill bring to light what I need to then diseapper again don't worry

If you want to bring your sex life on here by posting it for the world to see (including husbands...remember "Google?") then hop to it! I certainly do not care and many others may enjoy reading it.

However being honest without having evidence proves nothing, because there are several "personal" reasons that you may have begun this thread (since you mixed business AND pleasure).

If you have a text where Brandon admits to knowing HE had mites, then your thread has a more valid reason for existing. As it is currently laid out, the situation simply looks like a friendship gone south, imo. Because you SENT the snake for the specific purpose to be bred, you can expect them not to eat (for whatever reason). :shrug01:

Actually, I don't think that PET OWNERS need to be getting involved with breeding loans, it's more emotionally-charged than you may think.
 
Jendee - I don't see it as them attacking you, so don't go and get all defensive. If there are people aware of this thread (who you know) who may have information about this deal, I would hope they would chime in as opposed to sitting back and watching it unfold.

What I took from that is that you aren't an innocent party in this, either. Just because someone is 'big' doesn't mean they do things according to what you feel is 'right'. You will find, if you stick around long enough, that SOME of the people who have the best integrity, and show the highest regard for their animals, are people who aren't 'big'. There are half-a-dozen people here, at least, that I would trust to do ANYTHING. That's because they've shown stand-up character, year after year, post after post. Hell, I only have 35 snakes and I've been saying from the getgo that your male should NEVER have gone in with a girl yet.

What you aren't getting is that we DON'T CARE what he told you....you should have looked into it and not sent your 18-month old out to breed. I DON'T CARE if others have done it....I would NEVER do it.

The bottom line is, whether or not you were duped, you made the decision to send him out. I feel bad for you, but not nearly as much as for your snake.
 
One little dig, though, Jendee...

....when you don't know me or my home life...

As soon as I read or hear, 'you don't know me', the first thing that comes to mind is Jerry, Jerry, Jerry....and you know how that usually turns out. I think it's about the white-trashiest, most self-entitled, ghettoiest statement ever, and I wish people would stop using it. I mean, what does it even mean or infer?

Now, quit injecting personal bits (marriage, kid, penis-ring, etc.) and focus on what you came her for.
 
This thread could have easily been avoided if Jendee had approached Brandon back in March or whenever she received the animal in February? She should have asked for a payment of some sort and given Brandon the chance to make a decision to honor her claim prior to a negative BOI.

The background information of the internet sexual exploits tarnishes this situation further especially in light of the fact that a married wife/mother of two just incriminated herself on the internet a few minutes ago. As a father of two children myself, I would probably throw myself off a cliff if some guy had nude pics of my wife and I found out.

Unfortunately, one of the parties in this affair decided to post that aspect of this relationship and it cannot be avoided. It can also be used to establish credibility in general of the people involved here. I don’t believe Brandon is married with children or even in a steady relationship based on his post of random girlfriends in the past on forums. If he’s single then I guess he will conduct himself like a single guy, if he’s married, then shame on him as well. It’s unfortunate that the personal exploits had to come up in this as they are irrelevant to the claim at hand. Or are they? However, since they have presented, they will be used and considered in formulating a conclusion of who is more at fault.

The vet report will lend some credibility to how serious Jendee took this situation. Mites are pretty common and like a common cold, most people treat it themselves and do not incur the expense of seeing a physician for something that is not life threatening. Therefore, if Jendee can offer up proof in the form of the vet report it would lend some credibility to how serious she believed the condition her snake was in. It would add some value to her loss of quality of life from the experience but the value of that loss I cannot determine. What’s the value of the damage to the sunglow that had mites and RI, the cost of the vet visit and the medicines? I think Jendee would need to put forth her demand for damages and that demand is long overdue. That demand is almost a requirement and can be seen as giving the person you are accusing something a fair chance to make it right. Was this ever presented to Brandon? The thread show that after the FB post Brandon offered compensation and Jendee accepted, however, it appears Brandon didn’t know the BOI thread was already posted. Brandon believes he is not at fault, should he pay now after his name has already been run through the mud? Jendee’s glow will eventually be mite free and is not at death’s door based on the recent photo. So is it just for her to receive the 2K boa from Brandon as gratitude for this thread?

On a side note, what was the cost of the vet visit? Can the receipt be offered in addition to the vet report?
 
I did appoaech him!!4 times infact and have the proof. I could care the fuck less what you people think I don't need internet buddies I'm simply here to show how sleezy Brandon is
 
I love your choice of the word sleezy, it’s very fitting and I need not read further as I've come to my conclusion that you should not be compensated for not looking out for the best interest of your pets. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

Prepare yourself better next time for at this juncture I’m very skeptical that you will actually produce the proof you claim to have and this thread will just continue to go back and forth with nothing more than mere accusations from all sides. There is not enough proof provided to give merit to this grievance you have with Brandon of which you stated your goal is to “show how sleezy Brandon is”.

I’m sorry this thread is not turning out the way you had hoped. Unfortunately sometimes when coming to the BOI, everyone involved can lose. Sometimes there are no winners and I get the feeling Brandon may have been aware of this based on his actions to try to quench the forest fire you ignited here.
 
I'm simply here to show

Really? You chose a time when all the relevant evidence was not available to you. You have been here a while and know about the BOI, and no doubt realize from experience that those who allege misdoings of others are asked to provide proof.

I think you said that you would be able to show proof at 6PM. Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks for today's post Mitch. That was an eye opening post. I don't keep Zonatas but we Boa keepers have our share of dreadful diseases that destroy collections as well. I happen to know Jerry personally and have always considered him a straight shooter. I say this in past tense not because that has changed but he an I have not communicated for much over a decade at least. I hope this all resolves itself and that things work out for all involved.

You'll have to pardon some of us that may come to the conclusion that you may not be the most objective witness, or best judge of character.


While the OP has absolutely shown a marked lack of class in how she chooses to present herself, and has exercised poor judgement in her choice to start this thread before having her ducks all lined up, I think it may be a bit early for the Nixon camp to hang their "Mission Accomplished" banner.

Some of you may want to railroad this thread into an early grave. I, however, think that at the very least, Mr. Nixon has been shown to have made several poor decisions of his own. I have trouble buying into the premise that someone who feels he's done no wrong would feel the need to offer a $2k (bribe?) snake up to the OP to avoid having this thread go public.

At the very least, I think we should give the OP the opportunity to present all the evidence she claims to have before the masses condemn her.

I've no real interest in being actively involved in this particular poo-flinging extravaganza, but at least let the girl have her say. Having made my sole contribution to this trainwreck, I'm out.

Carry on.
 
Makes one wonder whether the expletives were a deliberate way to buy time. But, then again, she either has the proof or doesn't.
 
From the Jerry Kruse BG thread, post # 503:

I knew Jerry Kruse in 1994 while a member of the NY Herp Society. I have not communicated with him in years for in 1997 I sold my collection and we lost touch. His own BOI clearly shows that things may have changed since I knew him years ago. So your position is because I claimed to know Jerry Kruse and made a statement that from what I knew of him (over a decade ago), I believed him to be a straight shooter. I don’t possess abilities to weigh the evidence on things today and make judgment calls?

Can you vouch for Jerry Kruse's character in 1994? Were you there sitting with us at those meetings? I was and I can. Can I vouch for Jerry Kruse in 2012, no, but clearly others who are presently dealing with him in this decade can.

Thanks for today's post Mitch. That was an eye opening post. I don't keep Zonatas but we Boa keepers have our share of dreadful diseases that destroy collections as well.

I was mentioned in the thread so let me say my piece.

I received a male from Jendee late last year for a breeding loan. He is actually still working a female as this thread is happening. He arrived and I immediately saw what I consider a picture perfect healthy male, great skin, muscular, alert. Regardless i followed my protocol for bringing an animal into my collection and found nothing that raised any flags. He began courting within a short time of being introduced, an obvious sign of health and being vibrant and alert. He will eat readily, shed and poops perfect. He had NO mites, NO issues. I can attest this on behalf of Jendee and her husbandry. A+ animal. I will be shipping him back to her in early May and if my belief is he accomplished the deed with 1 possibly 2 females, the only 2 he ever shared a cage with.

Ok, I'll bite one last time. Not sure what you were hoping to prove with that one. The bolded text clearly says, to me, at least, that you're still of the opinion that he's a "straight shooter" despite your dealings being "over a decade" ago. Looks to me that despite what was shown about Kruse, your opinion still stands. :shrug01:

You're awfully willing to focus on the "sleeze" and forsake what evidence has already been presented, as well as what may yet come. I'm of the opinion that no one should get a free pass, friend or not. If you're so willing to sweep Mr. Nixon's dirt under the rug, while calling attention to the OP's, I think that says something about your own credibility and objectivity. I think I know a snow job when I see one...Plow away.
 

Thats me there's no 2 boa guys named Manny Frade. Dave and I had an issue 5 years ago, and he did not know of me so he jumped the gun and wrote that BOI. And for the record since it seems your the JUDGE and JURY on the BOI I did not bounce a check on him, it had no signature it happens when you write upwards of 50 checks a day at the time. The bank would not pay it as it could not reach me since i was on vacation. Regardless when i got back I immediately paid him, im sure you read the entire thread and you know this already but i figured i'd cliff note it for you.

Back to Jendee, she keeps boas in great condition.
