Carolina Reptile Exchange, selling Pieds

[Jim O]

Thats pretty funny because there is no such thing as a degree in herpetology..... LOL

Gregg,

As much as that "degree" may be a laugh, many herpetologists who hold formal degrees received them from Biology or Zoology departments but their research work and field of concentration was herpetology. Most of those people will describe their degree as being in Herpetology, particularly if it is a PhD as their research and thesis were done in that field. Likewise, many Molecular Geneticists receive their degrees in "Biochemistry" or something similar (in fact my undergraduate school did not even have a Biochemistry department and you could still get a degree in Biochemistry from either the Biology or the Chemisty department but none of those grads would have called their degree anything but "Biochemistry").

http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/natsci/herpetology/uf-herp.htm will point you to a page describing degree programs in Herpetology at the University of Florida. I didn't read all of the links but it seems to be an interdisciplinary program which offers, among other things, a PhD.

Jim,

Do you know of a database where one could search for all the Ph.D. degrees granted in the U.S.? Not that I will sepnd the time doing it in Bruce's case, but I’m just curious.

On a side note, you know what the funny (sad) thing is? That in their page “in search for” they have the following statement:

in ball pythons were looking for ,pied, and spiders as well as a pastel

They are still looking for the “elusive” piebald ball python even though their associate Dave Hanner is producing them left and right.

Doornail….there is a saying that goes with doornail and I can’t recall what it is.

I practiced medicine for 17 years and met many physicians (all of whom allegedly held doctoral degrees ) who could not punctuate or spell.

There may well be one but not that I know of.

This I totaly understand..... I have a degree in biology believe it or not Jim....LOL.....

But there is no actual degree in herpetology..... But you know this already so why am I typing??? LOL

 

[ecmorrell]

I googled his name, and didn't find anything that wasn't related to his business.

Beth,

Go to http://www.carolinareptileexchange.com

And now that we are on topic for all of you piebald fans out there there's an incredible opportunity. You will get a pair of 100% hetero pieds for $1,000 and you pay the balance when you produce pieds (yeah, when frogs grow hair!). But that's not all folks, print this page, clip the coupon, and you will get 10% off your purchase. That's right! Two normal-looking, hetero for normal balls for $900! That's quite a steal! In the meantime they are still looking for piebalds even though their associate Dave Hanners has been producing them.

 

[ecmorrell]

I meant to imply that I didn't find anything not related to CRE, like affiliation with a university, to add credibility to his PhD.

In this case PHD stands for "Piled High and Deep". You can figure out what his BS and MS might stand for.

 

[ravensgait]

Gee I'll take a stab at it BS for Bull chit and MS for Moose chit or is it Mega Chit.

Have to thank all the people who buy from them they're doing so well they are now selling Chondros. Thanks!!! NOT... You Ball Python folks need to keep your scammers to yourselves, don't be letting them out to bother the rest of us. Wonder what their GTPs are Het for? Green!!..... Randy

 

[Jim O]

M = More. Hence the progression: BS, MS, PHD.

 

[critical bill]

I'm sorry, but....

When I saw the photo I attached below, and the description along with it, I just had to laugh and I really cant stop laughing. Are they kidding me? This guy moved within a foot of the gator? He might be an expert (in someones mind), but it doesnt look he has the speed to lose that distance if really he had to. I mean...Steve Irwin agile he looks not. And what do they mean by "dont try this at home"? Was it a dietary warning, as in..dont eat till you reach the size of this yard ape? Gosh I think the friggin alligator is scared he's going to be lunch or crushed to death.

"AS USUAL, BRUCE PUSHED HIS LUCK MOVING WITHIN A FOOT OF THE BIG GUY, IN THE BASKING TUNNEL NO LESS, REMEMBER HE'S AN EXPERT. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!"

 

[Chris@TSE]

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ecmorrell]

See, they're glorifying the moron for "pushing his luck" but then telling other people it's not cool to try at home. Stupid!

 

[ecmorrell]

Ok, also see the "We are looking for" page...

"We are searching for the following (please forgive our spelling)"

NO, I WON'T forgive your spelling!


I especially cannot forgive how UGLY some of those pages are! Look at the "Available" page! Hideous!

About Us
Our founder,has his Doctorate in Herpetology, We feature breeder and venomous classes, and our professionals travel to schools and special learning events.

Is that a Freudian slip?

Because they have been claiming that Noah was the founder.
I mean Noah answers the phone......but only after bruce changes his voice.
I mean a whole heck of a LOT of people has seen who Noah is. I have a list of people who has seen Noah. Harry has seen Noah, his son Bruce has seen Noah. Bruce's father harry has seen Noah. harry's son bruce has seen noah, the dead guy harry has seen noah. The guy who really owns the store ....his name is bruce...he has seen noah. the store owner's dad...his name is harry....he has seen noah.
Noah's picture is also all over the site..... just invisible to the naked eye.
Bruce does not own Carolina Reptile... his picture just happens to be visible all over it.

Noah Watanabe, a first nations member of the Cherokee tribe and Wyandott tribe, founded Carolina Reptile in 1980,

Now I am confused.
the founder has a PHD in herpetology.
Noah is the founder.
Bruce has a pretend degree in herpetology.

So who is really the founder? Does bruce know? Does his imaginary freind Noah know? What about his imaginary alive father named harry, does he know?


P.S. do not make fun of his spelling. The only reason i spell a little better than he does is becazuse I have not graduated college yet. Just imagine what I can do when I graduate college

I dont think they pushed anything. I think they fork-lifted him into place.

either they think I am stupid and don't know what a foot is..........

or by the time they took the picture..........the "big guy".......I mean the "reptile"......I mean the animal furthest from the camera......must have moved in fear of his life.

 

[critical bill]

Now I am confused.
the founder has a PHD in herpetology.
Noah is the founder.
Bruce has a pretend degree in herpetology.

So who is really the founder?

Geronimo?

 

[The BoidSmith]

Bruce or Noah?

Ritchie,

Go to this page http://www.carolinareptileexchange.com/386926.html move your cursor on top of the catfish picture (the one that says “dad and I catching bait”) without clicking on it and tell me what you read popping-up in yellow. That might be the answer to some of our questions.

Regards.
