    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

CMG/Chris Guida/Bad guy

Chris
the most difficult customer you ever had wouldn`t have been a problem at all if you had promptly sent her refund. You never had to agree to substitute "special" snakes for the grey-bands. Ellen sent your two remaining grey-bands back promptly and should have recieved her refund promptly. You have noone to blame but yourself. Not Ellen, Alvaro, Wes, Me or anyone but yourself. Ellen`s lack of a refund isn`t an isolated incident of questionable business practices, and that`s where the blame for slow-moving stock lies. I think Nov-June is far more patience than anyone can expect. Crying about sending more pics doesn`t fly when you blame it for your problems. They`re a bit deeper than that and you created them.
 
I WILL BE CALLING THEM AS WELL!!

I HAVE TRIED BEING EXTREAMLY PATIENT WITH YOU CHRIS. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I SENT YOU $2000 FOR A MALE 04 ALBINO BALL PYTHON AND I HAVE RECEIVED #*&^ IN RETURN FOR MY MONEY. YOU WON'T EVEN RETURN MY E-MAILS ANYMORE. I HAVE ALL OUR E-MAILS AND THE STUPS FROM THE POSTAL MONEY ORDERS THAT I SENT YOU AS PROOF THAT YOU CASHED THE MONEY ORDERS. SO I WILL BE FOLLOWING THIS UP BY THE SAME MEANS AS BELOW.

THANKS CHRIS
 
Back in September of 2003 Chris Guida of CMG reptiles purchased NUMEROUS wild caught ball python females from us. He may have used these to resell as "hets" or something of the like.

I was looking thru last seasons records and found the address we shipped to on all occasions:

Chris Guida
115 stonehaven Dr. Apartment 301
Fredricksburg, VA 22406

Hope this helps.....
 
We lost our databaser for the 2003 season and all I have on hand is all of the printed receipts, If I find it, I'll let you know.
 
i called the state troopers from his home town an i talked to trooper Armitage at (540-582-7115 )from his home town they are looking into him as well
 
I have heard from chris once in the last few months, saying that he would only pay me via paypal. (he didn't mention how he was going to manage sending me the snakes he promised me through the internet...)
But suddenly, when I have a paypal account, he doesn't answer any e-mails.

How Interesting.

btw, the address he had me send my $330 to was also 115 stonehaven apt 301. The only contact number I ever knew about was the one written on the guarantee someone posted a picture of on this thread, many many pages earlier. I do not believe that number is in service anymore.

Chris, if you're reading this, you've got two days to contact me and send me money through my paypal account. If you don't, I'm calling the staties, too.
 
I have an acquaintence that lives right outside fredricksburg..

I think I'll give him a ring and have him pay Chris a visit for you guys. I'll keep you informed.....
 
As much as I want my money or something for my money. Calling the man names is childish and I gaurantee it will get you know where. Not trying to offend you at all. Just my thoughts.
 
No offense taken, but after a year and three months of waiting, I think I'm entitled. I spent at least the first six months being understanding and polite, believing I would eventually get my money back. Look where it's gotten me.

Or, I'm just a moody college student who's sick of all the lies. Your choice. :)
 
I just want to close this chapter

I'm pretty convinced that Chris will have a difficult time in the industry now. I had really hoped that he would turn around and make right and start building a good reptutation...

Anyhow, I just want to close this chapter in my book. Chris, I've asked you to email me several times. It is the least you could do for someone who spend $2300 with you. 7 months ago you agreed to settle with me by sending me a male pastel, (considerable less in value than the $1500 we originally agreed on.) Now I'll make another offer, this one if final. I will take $400 and we can consider this chapter closed and you can rest assured that I will never press charges. (I'll even put it in writing for you.) I'm not upset, I just want you to do the right thing, or I will.

My PayPal account is under my email address where you can reach me. Email me and we'll work something out.

wel..

You know, I'm not really hard up for cash, that's probably why it's so low.... I just want to get something for all of the headache this man has caused me, and I want to move on. I really doubt that he'll even respond at this opportunity and if that is the case, I'll push for the full amount again, I just want to give him a way out that will satisfy both of us.

Justin
 
oops

oops, looks like the original amount was $1200, not $1500. I'm reposting Chris' WRITTEN guarantee. It really makes me wonder about the rest of the writing on the page as well.

Anyone heard anything from Chris G.?

I guess he's fallen off the face of the earth... I don't think he ever made right with anybody.

Yep, not only that. The WC "het pied" that i received from him has still failed to feed consistantly for me even nearly 3 years after the fact, she's not even useful as a breeder normal. Total loss on this one.
