    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....

Carolina Reptile Exchange, selling Pieds

I have 5.4 ,100% het pieds from 2 different clutches,they are from Dave Hanners male pied K2,and either a normal female ,or a het female.All were hatched in may 05.S as far as a unrelated pr,they woulds have the same father but not mother.

Steve,

Is there a chance you could ask them who this breeder is, where is he located and pictures of his piebalds? After all if one is going to invest that kind of money in genetics it would be important to at least check what the sire looks like. If Mr. Hanners is for real he will receive my apologies. But we have heard in the past from other “notorious breeders” which no one has been able to locate thus far. Remember Don King, Barry White, etc? A few years from now when the animals don’t produce it’s very easy to make a breeder conveniently disappear (such as happened with Drew Kosdi’s Don King). Again, this might not be the case but if he is a member of this so-called Cooperative, they would have no problem in providing their contact information. I would do it myself but when I e-mailed them in the past they recognized my e-mail immediately and didn't reply.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks Steve! It’s been years since they have posted in here. I can’t even recall if it was Noah, Bruce, or Harry (well in reality Bruce posting as his father anyways, as he had long passed away) the last one to post. They are probably not members of this site anymore.

Regards.

Here is their reply to our question. He responded rather quickly


"the breeder was Dave Hanners of Charlotte Nc,the male is pictured on the ad,they were hatched and incubated here in our store,Dave has been working about 2-3 eves in the store the last couple weeks,he is a long time co op member."

Hope this is some help

I wonder if next they'll be selling some hets produced by Raymond Harrison and brokered by Katie Richardson. :p
 
That picture has been used for a long time. Anyways, it could be Dave Hanner's male. They didn't give you his contact info though.

Regards.

[email protected] is the email Mike Norman gave as his.

getting closer.
but you gotta give me a little bit more information than that.
There is a whole Sh!t load of information out there. Or at least a couple real juicy ones

Well

Noah, Bruce, Ling, and Staff give [email protected]
as their Paypal account and “bigshow" AKA Mike Norman gives the same Email in another post one would assume they are one in the same.

What a show he put on to defend himself.
I am toooo tired to figure out the rest about the name Mark.
To many threads on them. I am going cross-eyed!

996 cranberry circle.
I guess good old harry is still alvie and kicking.
I guess he is still receiveing shipments....EVEN THOUGH HE IS DEAD
I guess he would rather receive shipment at his house instead of the store
 
Did anyone save the picture of the pied that shows-up in their ads that supposedly belongs to Mr. Hanners? The first picture is the pied that was report stolen. The second picture is that of the pied that "eons" ago CRE reported as theirs. It would be interesting to match markings with Dave Hanners "the breeder" pied that use for promotion in their KS ads.

Thanks.

The comment was that they wrote when they produced (generic, as in breed), and not when they produced pieds.

And here’s today’s ad:

250 for a "het" male
800 for a "het" female

That is quite a steal.
Imagine how much money I can make?
I can make piebalds and I only initially spent 1050. And If I did make piebalds I just gotta pay them another 1050. So i spent $2100 and I can produce over $14000 in animals...... man what a steal. I can't wait to fork over my money. This is a good deal that everyone should consider.

Oh wait.
What happens if they are not really hets?
Does that mean I spent $1050 on two normal snakes which I could have gotten from my own contacts for $5 each? Shoot one of my contacts says he will hand pick them for me for $5.

Oh wait.
we have been at this for years.
Does anyone know of anyone who produced pieds?
What about that person who raked me through the coals.....the one who said they were purchasing his pied clutch. Whatever happened to that person? All I wanted was pics of the clutch he was purchasing. I mean the mother of that clutch would be less than a year older than the clutch itself.

Shoot I love rule number 19 on their website
19) we personaly guarentee ,you attitude and language will reflect ,price,and our comitment to helping you.If you swear at us on the phone ,WE WILL HANG UP.if you are beligerant in the store,YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE(by york countys finest)

I did not know some of the largest, RESPECTABLE dealers in the country needed terms like these.

I believe Chris Farley in Tommy Boy said it best: "A written guarantee? I can take a dump in a box and slap a guarantee on it. Only thing it does guarantee is it's a guaranteed piece of s___!"
