    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....

You know what Mike, I really wouldn't push your luck if I were you. I've let you slide on several replies that ordinarily would've yielded warning points. I'd strongly suggest you not push the issue.

All you need to do to find out about Bruce's theft and misrepresentation of Tanith's photo is read the recent replies to this thread. Bruce is using, without permission, a photo of Tanith's male king cobra and telling unsuspecting "customers" that it's the mother of some kings that he's trying to unload.
 
PUSH MY LUCK?! GO AHEAD,....WARN ME,....BIG DEAL. ALL YOU GUYS CAN INSULT ME AND GET AWAY WITH IT, I TALK BACK, AND YOU CANT TAKE IT! ohhhhh BIG DEAL, I GOT WARNED FROM A HOTSHOT ON FAUNA. I KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT! IT'S SAD THAT EVERYONE ON HERE CAN EXPRESS THEMSELVES EXCEPT ME BECAUSE I STICK UP FOR SOMEONE YA'LL DONT LIKE. IF YOU CANT TAKE THE HEAT,...THEN GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. AND THE ONLY REASON, IF ANY, THAT YOU HAVE NOT WARNED ME OR BANNED ME IS BECAUSE WITH OUT ME, YOU GUYS WOULDNT HAVE ANYONE TO ARGUE WITH,...THIS GIVES YOU GUYS CONSTANT FUEL ON THE FIRE. GO AHEAD,....WARN ME HOTSHOT
 
So Mike....

You really honestly believe that it is ok, that there is nothing wrong with using someone elses name, or another name when selling items on the Internet? That basically tells me all I need to know about you. Someone usually uses an alias, or fake name for a reason, and very few are good reasons.
 
Keep it up Mike, and you'll find that your continued participation here isn't as welcomed as you appear to think it is.
 
keep what up? Ask you the questions? What....you cant handle someone coming back at you? I see. Ok,......for now on, I'll let you guys just insult me and not say anything about it. You act like your threats are suppossed to bother me. Kick me off. It just shows your character as well......people that can dish it out, but cant take it back! there,...I kept it up,.. OHHHHHHHH NOOOOO! Say it aint so! wow,.....get a grip man.
 
All that matters is that you got what you paid for....that is the bottom line about this whole thing. If he sold you something fake, then, when the time comes, TAKE CARE OF IT! But big deal if he called himself bruce, harry, bob, kiki, paul, buddha,....whatever....it just boils down to if the animals were what they were suppossed to be or not. ok

like I said...another atempt to stray from the topic. He still has not made a comment on bruce lying about his dead father.
Wait he did make a comment. he said it was in the past so it is okay.

If he sold you something fake, then, when the time comes, TAKE CARE OF IT!

why would they take care of it.....its in the past.. and like you said...the past is okay and it really does not matter.

Bye Mike

CYA -- (probably under a fake name)

by the way you said why would bruce come on here and defend himself since he cant win.

here he is defending himself as his father.......3-4 years after his fathers death. but it is okay it happened a year ago and it is in the past.

Mike has no CLUE!

Mike you make mention to the two friends that I am upset about with Bruce. You have NO CLUE AS TO WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT do you?
1) Gregg Hubbard (Bruce stole an albino eastern Diamondback from him at the Columbia Show)
2) LeRoy Adams (Bruce sent the police to have him searched for the stagged robbery)

This was no secret as they both came on here and posted on this thread!


Personally I think you have not read this entire post nor do I think you can absolutely deny the evidence in this thread pointing out and proving what type of person that BRUCE IS!

Mike this really points out what your character is like to. Two Peas of a POD! or better yet Birds of a feather flock together!
You are not worth any persons time on here.

PS Ken - WTG Mike got what he deserved.
 
Mikey's not going to be back under another name, at least not for very long. He already tried posting to this thread with a new account, claiming that he was too smart to be hindered by a measly suspension. I figured what the hell, and let him waste his time mashing out a couple of replies with his new account, then deleted them both with just a click of a button. I suppose I could've been nice and just banned the account as soon as I saw him register it, but I wanted to give him a temporary sense of accomplishment. He's registered a couple of accounts since he was given the boot, so I figured we may as well just block him altogether.

It should be mentioned that Mikey registered his new accounts under the guise of being women. While his intellectual honesty came as no surprise, his gender crisis did provide some unexpected amusement.

That is the past. I guess that means it should be okay.

Sure thing. Bruce is passing around a cropped photo of a bright orange king cobra and claiming this animal is the mother of some animals that he is selling. That's my photo, my snake "Sunkist" and my bedroom window in the background. No possible mistake here. The snake is a male by the way; he bred this season. None of his offspring will ever be released on the open market due to the popularity of venomoid butchering. Ain't gonna happen to my kids.

I have the entire photo, which Bruce doesn't. I cropped it to post on venomousreptiles.org, but nobody has access to the rest of the uncropped photo except me. If you think the animal belongs to Bruce, let him show you the animal. He can't do it. Or let him show you the whole, uncropped photo. He can't do that either since I never posted it where he could steal it.

A number of local herpers have seen my snake in person. He's a fairly unique animal and he isn't leaving my collection. I know of only one other really orange king cobra in the US, "Pumpkinhead", and it belongs to Gordon Cates. He has declined to breed this animal (I tried) and he certainly won't sell it.

The fact that a convicted animal abuser and venomoid butcher is using photos of my animal to sell his snakes makes me mad enough to consider legal action, even though I'm aware that it will cost a rather a lot and I probably wouldn't recover any damages. I just want to shut this abuser down. Anyone with ideas or input is welcome to contact me.
 
Hey Bigshow! I hope no one believes Bruce! I can say from experience, HE DOES LIE! We sell rodents and do the shows occasionally. At the last show we were at, we had a guy come up to us and was just tickled to see us. He had lost our number and tried to get in touch with us through Bruce. Bruce actually told him that LeRoy was dead and that I was out of business! Well guess what Bruce AND Bigshow! We are very much alive and doing just fine! So much for friends!! Lisa
 
BRUCE TAKES THE CAKE!

LeRoy was dead and you were out of business!! What LIES! Bruce never ceases to amaze any of us. Bruce, Bruce Bruce - WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY? Nothing. All you do is sit there and you dont have the nerve to respond back to anything on this thread, instead you cowardly send other people to try and defend you. LOL Try try as you might but it dosent work.

Tony Cueto

Browsing through the latest issue of 'Reptiles' magazine, I see that Tony Cueto is promoting a major show in South Carolina. It is scheduled to be held in greenville, on October 30 and 31. The ad states that there will be 135 tables. Does anyone know if bruce will be one of those? They allow venomous,so bruce might be there to peddle some of his venomoids.

Does anyone have contact with Tony? Do you Neil? Can we find out if bruce will be there? Maybe Tony will ban him, as a result of all of his scams...
 
I usually see bruce at the south Carolina show and that was when it was in columbia SC, this should be closer so I would think he will be at the show.

ALSO: Has anyone that got 100% het Albino or Pieds from Bruce Proven them or Dis-Proven them???? PLEASE someone that knows something responed. Thanks David

I answered your question on the other thread before you posted here. Do I win cookie? :raspberry
 
I am new to all of this and I keep reading and reading about this guy. Yes I got burned by him too. But what I do not understand is how a person can lie, and steal so openly with no requard to their business. It is like they do not think they are going to get caught. Or like a gang they just do not care.
