    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....

Break in at Carolina Reptile Exchange (Bruce Eisenmanns store)

I thought he was shipping Delta Dash but when he said Ariborne sent them back I said they probably did they don't even like to ship snakes since new company brought them let alone ones like these SO I thought Delta Dash then next day I have FEDEX tracking info and they are on the way here.
 
Well, I just read over 20 pages and I refuse to spend that kind of time without posting something. LOL. I will just tell it like I see it. Kerry knows a whole hell of alot more than he is saying. And if you ask me, which you didnt, he is right in the middle of it. Whether or not he actually took them, I dont know. But I do believe that he knows who did. That is my opinion, and I am entitled to it. If you dont like it, move on. Because everyone knows that in this business you are guilty until proven innocent. So, you can call me a wannabe hillbilly, or a bloodsucking bastard, or whatever you want Kerry, but until you give it to us straight we are going to be reading every word you type and psychoanalyzing the heck out of it to let you know when you stumble. That is after you get up from falling down that flight of stairs that make up your previous posts. So, just post something to prove us wrong. This isnt some kind of BOI innitiation, this is just a bunch of herpers covering our A$$ so we dont get ripped off. Maybe you enjoy getting burned, but I dont. And hats off to anyone who keeps me from dealing with those who burn.

HOLD THE PRESSES

Tom, I just noticed something that I hope you will clarify for me. This is not an attack, just an observation. You originally said the following:


I thought he was shipping Delta Dash but when he said Ariborne sent them back I said they probably did they don't even like to ship snakes since new company brought them let alone ones like these SO I thought Delta Dash then next day I have FEDEX tracking info and they are on the way here.

The problem is that this contradicts your previous statement:



A little but this is my first pair of my own. Well at least I feel a little better now. Except I went into my office waiting for them for 4 hours no pay and no show


Now, if you originally thought he was sending them Delta Dash, then why were you waiting at your office for 4 hours? You say that you didnt know he was sending them Airborne Express until AFTER they were returned to him. That would be AFTER you waited for 4 hours at your office. Maybe I am missing something here, but why would you wait at your office for 4 hours when Delta Dash gives you a flight number with an arrival time? Wouldnt you be waiting at Delta Dash? Unless of course Delta Dash delivers to your business, in which case I have been driving 4 hours round trip to LAX for nothing.

Respectfully, (for now :D)

Michael
 
Kerry...

You know what??? I think you've been extended far more courtesy than you deserve. You started out of the gate calling people names, etc...you are so freaking quick to loose your cool!! Bi-polar maybe?? Look at my warning points...ZERO...and I've been here awhile...I keep my cool, but you my friend have pushed me to my limit. You're simply a


Offensive photograph removed. - WebSlave

Sorry Webslave.
 
I swear I thought that was a dolphin...

or maybe a whale...the blow hole had me all confused. Webslave...I'm serious, that was uncalled for. I had a temporary lapse of reason...minor's come here, and that was truly inappropriate.
 
A: But I held those piebalds the night they were stolen


B: and just because I never seen a piepald in person don't mean I've never heard of one.

C: The two posts you cut are from diffrent ones. In one I explained I held the snakes the night before they were stolen. This is true. Then I said in another post just because I never seen a piebald in real life doesn't mean I've never heard of one. This is a stamement towqards the guy that incinuated in another post that I was lieing. Please don't be like the rest and scan for matierial that might be something, and then post it with out actually reading the entire post



Asnwer,
I read the entire post.
IT IS CONTRADICTORY.
How can you say you held piebalds in one post......then after that say that you have never seen one in real life? Did you close your eyes while holding them?

Think about it.
 
New info...

Bruce has alias' that are used during his business operations. Coming from a person standing in his store, Bruce has answered the phone in one voice, put it on hold and then picked it back up with a change of voice and name. Kerry, I have been told you are all of the above. Noah, Harry, Kerry, Bruce, four different names in one mind. You will now have to provide proof Kerry, that you are not Bruce. Also Kerry, keep in mind that Bruce has come to my home in S.C. and bought a pair of adult Eastern Diamondbacks with his girlfriend at the time when we lived there. I know exactly what Bruce looks like. I would like to see what Kerry's drivers license looks like. Verifiable proof. The person in question has spoken with me on this tonight. I am not typing all he said, but enough to make the weasels come out of the woodpile. I also have on word that Bruce has shipped numerous venomous snakes through common carriers such as FedEx and Airborne. Tom, your story stinks too about waiting for a shipment that you have to pick up yourself. How much did you pay for shipping? Did that not give you a clue? Also Kerry(Bruce) I was born in West Virginia! Uneducated? I THINK NOT. I am no hillbilly. I am on to you and your scam. You even write in the same manner as Bruce. Provide proof you are not Bruce, and I will apologize. Until then I will call you Sybill. The story unwinds more...
 
1 month ago: the employee was there all alone. Kerry miraculously knew this or he called Ms. Cleo. Snake went missing the same day.

The guy got 10 albino burms all of a sudden (kerry must have been there to see his collection or he called Ms. Cleo)

the guy tried to sell his burms because he needed money. (Kerry knew this because he called Ms. Cleo)

Thur Jan 15: Kerry was there. he drove 15-18 miles To sell his geckos. He held the piebalds. Bruce set traps because he called Ms. Cleo and knew the snakes would get stolen that night..

Fri Jan 16: Snakes were stolen.

Sat Jan 17: Kerry drove 15 - 18 miles to help pack snakes and TO TALK TO THE POLICE. He knew the police were there because he called Ms. Cleo. He knew the snakes were stolen because he called Ms. cleo

Sun Jan 18: Story was published...and it said over $72,000 woth of snakes was stolen

Mon Jan 19 Snakes were shipped

Kerry comes here to say the newspaper could not get ANY of the facts straight and is completely wrong

Kerry then pretty much states that the newspaper was right by saying Bruce got $72,000 worth of snakes stolen.
Kerry also pretty much states the newspaper was right by confirming that Bruce set the traps.


Ms. Cleo, What are the lottery numbers?


Simply snakes.
I think Kerry is different from Bruce.
Or at least he at least posts the same story on Herptrader...(that he deals in geckos and hondurans only)
Unelss of course bruce made up an alter ego that only deals with those animals
 
I tried to stay away from replying to this thread. The reason being that I have enough information without knowing what truly happen in order to know what not to do.

Kerry then pretty much states that the newspaper was right by saying Bruce got $72,000 worth of snakes stolen.

Ritchie, I missed this part. Did the newspaper say Bruce received $72,000 worth of stolen snakes? Was it confirmed then that there was insurance?

Thanks.
 
Heres the part you missed.

FORT MILL -- York County authorities are investigating an incident in which 10 pythons -- two of which are at least 12 feet long -- were stolen Friday from a reptile shop on U.S. 21.
The pythons were taken from Carolina Reptile Exchange, located at 3312 U.S. 21, between 1:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m., according to a York County Sheriff's Office report.

The total value of the missing reptiles is more than $72,000. None of them are poisonous.

Bruce Eisenmann, the store owner, said he suspects the thief was someone who frequented the business, which opened in July.

"They went and got bags out of the back room to pack the snakes in," Eisenmann, 42, said. "They knew exactly what they were doing."
 
Thanks Mike! That I have read earlier in the thread but I thought I had missed something else when I read "Bruce received $72,000 worth of stolen snakes" it almost read as he had been compensated for the value of the missing snakes.

Kindly
 
I have bought a female het albino for Thomas (my fiancee). Joel417 and Thomas went to the store a few months ago and did some trading. Thomas told me he saw alot of snakes including several pieds,albino ball,albino retics,albino boas, a room full of hots and other sakes as well. I never spoke with Bruce but did see him when i went with Thomas to get an albino burm from them. You never know what people will do. Time will tell.
 
This is really far fetched on my part but I just can't get it out of my mind.

The guy has been completely unwilling to prove that he had pieds but some people have apparently seen them. So it's quite clear that they did exist. But if in fact he was actually producing 66%ers previously why wouldn't he want to broadly advertise the fact that he did have the pieds back then? He would have made a fortune if he just posted a lousy pic here on the previous thread where the ancestory was questioned and he would have thrown a lot of people off his back who were suspicious.

Now he's selling hets and his "visibility" is enhanced because of it. More and more people are going to insist on seeing those pieds because they are investing larger sums of money. And just as this happens they disappear!

If I recall there wasn't any information supplied as to whose stock they came from either correct? If this is true also then that is suspicious too.

I can't help but think that the pieds he had might have been received as stolen property in the first place. Why else would someone not want to make any effort to prove they had them? You can chalk it up to coincidence but it sure is convenient timing for them to be disappearing don't you think?

Like I said, this is speculation on my part. Maybe I've been watching to much "COPS" on TV. Or maybe I've just become incredibly jaded by hanging out here. But is certainly doesn't add up. And something more is going on.

Maybe it's about time I got an honorary degree from the Ritchie Luna School of Investigating.
 
John Albrecht,
your thoughts are different from mine.


BUT


Your thoughts do make SENSE.

it is something else to think about
 
Okay I just thought of something.

This whole stealing thing......it could be the reason why we saw the fake receipts.

To get a receipt for something stolen you will have to fake it.
