    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.

    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....

DAN BIFIELD!  HORRIBLE BUSINESS ETHICS!!!

Well I have been watching this thread for a while now. I agree that in normal circumstances with reputable breeders that the snakes should be sent back first. In this instance I would have to say the third party would be the way to go...Also if it is not a money order I would advise that if it were to be a personal check one might wait to see that funds cleared before sending those snakes back so there would not be a stop payment put on it.

As far as Dan's ummm decorum goes...I happen to breed snakes and be a girl.. However Dan I do believe I probably have more of a backbone then you do. Your language and insults show a true lack of professionalism as well as common manners that most people possess. I do hope they have since added some chlorine to the gene pool from whence you came.

Hey Dan,
My costumers get my home phone or my cell and my address.  Some Joe schmoe off the street will not.
I was not talking a lot of sh!t.  In fact my very first post to you was to only ask you why $200 shipping charge for a service you paid $60 for?

your "not free" websites and your "real" computer does NOT and will NOT make you a better man.   But keep trying.

The funny thing is you talk all this cr@p like you are the best thing in the world....But I do not see a good guy post anywhere....not even on the old BOI
 
Just for the record the DH Snow that was shipped to me is doing fine having held down two separate meals now. So at least there is a happy ending to one situation here. One question I have to ask is if Dan planned on ripping Anthony and Jeremy off why would he have bothered to ship anything in the first place? I have no reason to believe Dan would not return the money to them if they returned the snakes.  I would like to help try and help resolve this situation for them and Dan by volunteering to be the middle man. It was suggested that Griff do this but I am willing to help out here if needed. Just trying to bring this thread to a happy conclusion.
 
I received a very informative email from Dan last night. Here is the full text of the email:

"Dont worry I will be thanking you."

What amazes me is that you have managed to stay under the radar for most of these six years you claim to have been in business.  I'm supposing that you have been happily screwing local customers all this time and that you have only recently ventured into national sales via the internet. Maybe you are able to snow people where you live but nobody here, including me, is really worried about you at all.  I suspect that 1 of 2 things will shortly happen to you.  You will mess with the wrong person and realize that you had better get out of the reptile business ASAP or you will just fade away because your lack of business acumen and people skills begins to prevent you from doing any business anywhere at all. And in the end, you will have only YOURSELF to thank. If by some very, very small chance you happen to straighten out and decide to become an "honorable" businessman then you will have all of us to thank for pointing the standard out to you.
 
Okay I have been talking with Dan

It seems he is trying to communicate with the customer..but to no avail.

I do not think he can refund anything to the "unhappy" customer if the customer does not even try to contact him.

Jeremy  contact Dan...  get your money back if you want...  but at least e-mail the guy
 
I have to say I am somewhat disappointed. Dan goes to all of the shows in FL. I was at the Daytona show working Ben Siegel's tables. Dan seems to be a big supporter of Ben. I don't recall seeing him come by. He is a big fan of taking pics of himself with his cats so he sent me plenty of pics of himself. I was wearing a name tag with my name on it. Why didn't Dan give me the opportunity of him kicking my a$$? I would have enjoyed the thought of standing toe to toe with him. All these threats but Dan wasn't too anxious to make himself known to me when he had the chance. All talk and no nads. (except the pair on his chin)

Hey Dan... evrytime you post you make yourself look more and more like a total LOSER.  What you fail to understand is that the people who visit this site could be future customers. But after anyone reads your post they will see who to AVOID!  

Call names, tell everyone to do rude things to yourself, I am sure everyone wants to buy from you!

I see you still avoid, and can not answer the question ask:

$200.00 shipping.
Not notifing the customer the animals were shipped.
Shipping sick animals.
Poor packaging.

Who cares about your return policy, these are the things that matter! I would not trust you to refund my money after the way you have acted.

Answer the questions, and quit calling names!

CRAIG TILLAM is a "Super Scunmag". I was a personal friend of his untill he sold me sick 1.1 Het for albino and 1 albino female adult boas. I took the snakes right to the vet and spent $175 to do blood work to find out what was wrong with them.They had ecoli,respatory infection,and 2 other sicknesses i can't remember off the top of my head.

When I called him to the some money for my vet bill he gave me a real hard time about it. I then told him I would be returning the snakes that day for a refund if he was not paying the full vet bill. He finally gave me $275 for the just the med to fix the snakes after me pretty much  me theratening him. He did not refund my $175 I spent finding out what was wrong with the snakes.

On top of all this I gave him and his daughter a free bengal kitten cuz we were friends and I would be able to do his run down,underadvertized,mite infested reptile show.Now that I've told everyone obout his biz pratices I am no longer able do do his show.

If you go to the Pet Shop Gold Cost Reptiles wash your body when you leave.

CRAIG & BRAD TILLAM/Cold Cost Reptiles are "SCUMBAGS"

What a find!!!!! Excellent work John! So not only were the snakes sent to Jeremy sick, but they were sent with LONG TERM respiratory problems, among other things. Dan your bag of lies is beginning to weigh you down. Funny how he described this guy's show too.

Sounds vaguely familiar to his description of the snake I sent him.

Oh! Looks like he took my advice about not posting on here anymore because I got another email from him wondering what show he would be able to find me at.

I told him I would be at the  Chicago show and hoped to see him there. Apparently that was bad for him.

I can see how he may not of noticed me at the last show. My 6' 2" 260 lb frame is easily hidden when others are standing so near to me. I think Southwest airlines is running a $59 fair to FL right now. It might be worth the ticket price just to take Dan up on his offer. Maybe when we're through he would allow me to give him a spelling lesson or two. He seems to have a small problem with spelling.

I would be willing to make the first donation to a ticket fund to get Dan to the Chicago show so we could meet again. Anyone else up for that? Maybe we could form a line for him so he could just take care of all of us at one time? One at a time, of course.

That snake was sold out of my collection last yr and was fixed by the vets.

The snakes I sent to Jeremy were in the best of health when they were sent out.I will give a full refund if the snakes are sent back.I don't know what more to do.

You are not the guy I sent the snakes to ,who are you to tell me to use a 3rd party or give a refund.If Jeremy sent the snakes back he would have been refunded by now.You girls are still crying over whatever you can.Did I send you the snakes?Start a chat room for your rag sessinos.

Jealousy is a real funny thing.I have been on the websites of all you who are posting against me.Give me a break your collectinos are a joke.Most of you posting have nothing better to do.

The snakes I sent out to Jeremy were in the best health.If Jeremy wants a refund than Send the snakes back.I will not be squeezed by all of you breeders not involved to do whatever you think I should.All of you are Jealous and need to get a job.

Oh Danny,
Aren't you forgetting a few things?

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">OK Dan,

Now settle these few questions to start repairing your reputation.

1) Why $200 for shipping?  

2) Do you actually have his money in cash to refund should they return the snake?  And prove it since you stated, "If you are not happy send the snakes back for a full refund."

3) How did the URI get so far advanced if it was healthy when you shipped?  

EVERYONE is waiting on your answers in these matters.  No one really cares about your sex life, ex's, or all the other superfluous BS.

And just for you Dan since your so fond of checking us out my website is listed in my signature.

Dan, I'm going to get straight to the point... you're an idiot. Every time you post a reply, your lack of integrity & maturity shines through.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Jealousy is a real funny thing.I have been on the websites of all you who are posting against me.Give me a break your collectinos are a joke.Most of you posting have nothing better to do.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
This is an example (albeit not a very good one) of the rhetorical device commonly referred to as a "red herring", with a little bit of ad hominem mixed in. In order to divert attention from his own lack of integrity & maturity, Dan has tossed a totally irrelevant topic into the mix.

What is everyone jealous of Dan? Is it: (a) the $200 shipping scam? (b) your eloquence & mastery of the English language? © the fact that every other post from you has included a request for sexual favors from other men? (d) the fact that you are commiting a crime when you post/email your juvenile threats? (e) your avoidance of simple questions that have been repeatedly asked? (f) your claim that you've been in the biz for six whole years?

Yep Dan, there are folks that are probably jealous of you... folks like Jesse Underhill, Brian Rogers Sr, Joey Smith, Britney Latil, and the list goes on.
 
I have to keep agreeing with Tim on this guy...He can not answer the questions. Who in this herp world would be jealous of anyone with such a childish attitude.

"Girly breeders" is not who READS this site, its future customers and people who care about the herp world and the integrity of it!!!

Get a clue, and answer the questions Dan!!!  You can't can you!!!

Rick Steward/Ricks Reptiles
 
I don't have to answer any questions to you or anyone except Jeremy.The snakes were in perfect health when I shipped them.If Jeremy is not happy then he can get a full refund.Jeremy is now happy with his snakes.

You breeders get a job,your collectinos suck and you are all nobodys in the biz.I will produce far more animals at much less than all of you.
Swing hard on my nuts while you still can.You all talk alot of trash with no websites,no phone numbers, just PO boxes.Give me a break you loosers.....Mommy is waiting to wipe you little girls.

Did I sell any of you breeders the snakes? "Jealousy" is all this is.

Technically you don't even have to answer any  questions he poses. You just have to accept the consequenses for your actions in doing so.

The same applies to those who ask pretty straightforward and honest questions on this board... You don't have to respond but not responding will have an effect on your ability to easily do buisness.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">You breeders get a job,your collectinos suck and you are all nobodys in the biz.I will produce far more animals at much less than all of you.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

This board attracts a very diverse crowd of people. But overall it can be said that those who read and post with any degree of regularity are competent, knowledgable people with a good reputation in the buisness. many of them are nationally and even internationally reknown for their animals, service, quality and knowledge... many are just a step or two below that.

The point being that your lack of recognition of many of the names actually indicates a reverse situation. You think they are "nobodies" because you yourself do not have the exposure to reccognize them. The repetition of it is pretty telling in a way. I am not sure if you actually are the following traits but you do come accross as being; ignorant, not that bright, combative for no apparant reason, far angrier than you should be, naive of buisness and animals, like someone who might pull a scam if given the oppurtunity... And  a few other less appropriate things.

These are not automatically true but they certainly come accross in the way you write and the thoughts and concepts you seem to desire to express. Perhaps you have typing tourettes and it isn't your fault... Perhaps not.

Either way, it does not endear you to anybody. And the people you seem to be insulting the most are those who spend the most money, make the most deals and know the most people. I could see attacking me if I accused you of something incorrect- I'm really far more interested in the zoology than the pet trade, it's just an amusing distraction- but you are doing damage to your reputation. The more you keep it up and further you go, the more permanent the damage becomes and the more wide-spread.

The questions that have been repeatedly posed seem pretty relevant and not particularly out of line... Answering them politely would be an easy way to... If not regain  some measure of respectability (you may be too far gone for that) at least halt this seeming downward plunge into disrespect you appear to have taken.

If you care to argue fact or opinion relevant to the topic with those who post on here, I'm sure most everyone would be more than happy to go right along with you. Intellectual debate has a positive outcome... This repeated and gratuitous vulgarity with no tangible point will do nothing but force actions you probably won't like and will most certainly be detrimental to your position.

Of course perhaps I shouldn't comment. I have no web-site, no posted address, no posted phone number and my collection must be worthless... I shouldn't comment unless I can make nearly inconprehensible posts full of vernacular reffrence to my genitals and entirely avoid answering anything related to the topic at hand.

Then again, I don't suffer from "Little Man's Syndrome" so perhaps that wouldn't be the proper course of action for me to take. I'll leave that to those who seem to feel a need to prove their somewhat lacking masculenity.
 
Still unable to construct a rational, valid argument, eh Danny boy? Your prowess is surpassed only by the average ninth grader, which would explain your dating a high-schooler... mentally, you're both just about on par with each other.

If you seriously think that anyone is jealous of you, you need to wither check yourself into rehab, or visit a psychiatrist, because you're having delusions of grandeur.

Let's examine the reasons people have to be "jealous of you, shall we?
a) The $200 shipping scam.
Sorry Danny, but we're not all as dishonest as you, and don't overcharge customers $150+ for a shipping method other than the one they requested.

b) Your eloquence & mastery of the English language.
Nothing to be jealous of here. Most people don't have to resort to profanity & vulgarity in every other sentence. Doing so denotes a weak character.

c) The fact that every other post from you has included a request for sexual favors from other men.
Sorry to disappoint you Dan, but most, if not all, of us don't swing that way. Perhaps you might consider moving to San Francisco and taking a job as a hair dresser. You may satisfy those urges of yours if you go that route.

d) The fact that you are commiting a crime when you post/email your juvenile threats.
Yes Dan, you are commiting the crime of simple assault each time you send one of your little love notes that includes a threat. Keep it up, and you won't have to move to San Francisco to take care of your urges.

e)  Your avoidance of simple questions that have been repeatedly asked.
Why avoid the questions if you're not a thief? Wait, I forgot... in your own delusional mind, you're a legend who's (lack of)character is above reproach.

f) Your claim that you've been in the biz for six whole years.
Six years...wow. Can't say that's impressive, though. It's more like a little kid saying, "I'm a big boy! I'm six years old today." Ah, to be a neophyte and a legend in your own mind...
 
Oh Danny BOY,
Why are you avoiding these questions.  HUUUUUMMMMMMM.

Your ability to screw your reputation into the ground to say the least is simply amazing.  You have officially been promoted the ranks of folks like Jesse Underhill, Brian Rogers Sr, Joey Smith, Britney Latil, JoeP and the list goes on.

So my hats off to you sir.  Congratulations, you really earned it.


Your reputaion just went...
