    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Good Guy Dan of DTS Herp Inc is for Viper Boas

No problem Harold, Dan DID admit that he referred him here. But, as you way well know, Chuck stalks him on every post, good/bad guy post.

I liked it here when good guy posts were just that, good guy posts. Nowadays, when someone posts a good guy thread on say, Ed Clark, (and I'm not picking on you Ed) there is always someone who comes along and rains on his/her parade.

I think Fauna should not allow a negative post on a Good Guy/Gal thread IF, a bad guy/gal thread HAS already been made. If someone has something negative to say, DO IT on their bad guy/gal post. otherwise, well you know....

My two cents.

Well, there is some merit to that idea....but it has its flaws as well. This isn't the place to have that discussion, though - why not start a thread on that subject in the Feedback Forum?
 
Dan is a COWARD

Hey Dan ...I will be headed down to Tom's again next week ....why don't you free up you calender up for Wed./Thur. and see if your brave enough to back up those threats you made.....COWARD
 
Jim:

LOL.

Who are you calling coward? Coward for what?

It was you that drove within a half mile of my place twice and refused to stop to meet me. I wonder who the coward is?

What was your excuse?

Oh yea, you did not want to stop because you had reptiles in your vehicle?

Some lame excuse.

Stop and I will be glad to meet you.
 
Ken:

Who are you?

You never bought an animal from me and never proved that I did anything bad in any transaction but you come on here making idiotic statements as if you know me? What gives with you?

Are you just upset I proved your friends wrong all the time? Cry in your coffee but don't think you know me or can comment on any sales transaction I had. You never have viewed all of the emails and heard all of the conversations between myself and my customer, so who do you think you are to judge anyone anyway?
 
Critical Bill: The fact that you out of the gate accused Dan of baiting a good-guy post is not just an insult to him but an insult to me and clearly shows some latent hostility on your part and obvious ignorance of the facts.


Now then....

If you went to a good resturant and said "I'm very pleased with your cooking and service here, may I leave a positive comment somewhere?" and then they told you a specific place where feedback could be left, wouldn't you go there and leave that resturant positive feedback? I asked if I could leave him positive feedback or a positive comment somewhere and then he responded by suggesting that this would be the place.

What facts might I be ignorant about?

I took a guess that you were referred by Dan based on the fact that you joined here today and posted about DTS only moments later. FACT: I was correct. He suggested that you post here and you did. He's admitted that he put you up to it and so have you.

Now lets address my hostility toward you. I kindly remind you about the rules to posting in this forum, so that you wouldn't sustain any warning points for the infraction, and you feel that makes me hostile? OK.

You shouldn't feel insulted at all, you should feel embarrassed.

I am calling you a coward...for some reason you thought I wouldn't tell you to your face, and maybe you even thought I wouldn't show up. You agreed to meet me there, you were called and told were we there you were even sent emails to let you know we were there...just like you asked, I even stayed the night because you said you were busy the first day I was there...and you still never showed ...SO YOU ARE A COWARD.

I love it when people make threats and then call me a coward because I wont come to them.....

I will be down your way again ...lets get together ...that way I can tell you right to your face that your a coward , and and insult to the reptile industry. And then I want to see you try and knock my teeth in...... you claim to be in the military and yet you cant handle being insulted ?

The only one making excuses is you ..... your full of them !

Seems like you'll just make excuse's again ...so go ahead and send me your address, if your on the way ..... I'll call you and well meet up :thumbsup:
 
Just for my input, I would not and will not accept free snakes from scolaro.

I'm one of those scammers, idiots, liars and theives he keeps talking about though.

I bought WC, I got WC. I didn't complain when he said he was sending me a sick snake and I got a sick snake. I got what I expected when I bought.

My beef comes in with how scolaro handles himself. I will respect someone that is wrong and admits that they were wrong (don't ask me which time, scolaro, there's too many). I cannot respect someone that always thinks that they are right all the time. It's simply impossible unless you are God (if you are so inclined).

Are you God, scolaro? Out of thousands and thousands of sales, have you not received one legitamate complaint? It really isn't the complaints, it's how you handle them.

I bought WC emeralds and I got WC emeralds.

Go ahead and barf out how you begged me not to pay and I still did, etc etc etc. I was naive, life goes on.

And for the record, scolaro, I never offered to sell you pot. (before you can barf that one out, too)
 
Jim, please take the chest thumping down a couple notches. Apparently, there is a little extra that I missed (or have forgotten)...but the whole "see if your brave enough" and "I want to see you try and knock my teeth in" tends toward threats and violence & isn't going to be tolerated.
 
Jim:

LOL:

I told you beforehand I was not interested in selling snakes to you and you were rejected as a customer. So cry about anything else, but that is the true source of your anger.

And what nut would think I would drive an hour and a half back and fourth to meet a nut like yourself? I am a busy family man with kids to pick up from school and orders to ship each and every day, so I don't have time to waste on rejected customers.

And if you drive within a rocks throw of me twice like you did and make silly excuses like reptiles in the car to avoid meeting me, then live with your silly excuses and grow up.

And I saw your nutty webpage dedicated to people you don't get along with so it sure tells a lot about you. Is this a long-term problem you've had or can you explain why you cannot get along with people?

You had my number then and have it now. Just in case you cannot say you lost it, it is 954-426-8268 and will be glad to meet anytime and any place.
 
Herpinator, you are not a scammer. You are a kind fellow I gave a boa to on my expense of shipping and asked you to not pay me for it because I felt sorry for you. You got the boa, dried it out, mashed it, rolled it, and smoked it. So why bring this up again.

Well then if you weren't planning on showing up why did you ask Tom to call you when I arrived ?
And if you didn't threaten me like you did, then all of this could have been avoided.
You didn't reject me as a customer .... I rejected you because of your attitude and threats.

Nutty web page of people ...no just one ...another loud mouth like yourself who likes to make threats from the safety of behind their keyboard. And if you want to make threats ... be certain we won't get along either.

I'll give you a call when I am in your area.

Harald..I am not threatening him....he threatened me ...I just wish people that like to make threats actually have it in them to follow through.

So ...with that said I will end it with this post, and Dan I'll give you a call when I am in your area.

Because of your attitude toward 'legitamate' complaints.

You seem like a nice guy. If I was just your neighbor, we'd probably be friends. It's your concern and handling of problems that greatly bothers me.

And your libel.
 
Wow, I'm bored so I'm going to put some outsider insight into this. You know, the person who doesn't have a side because I don't know any of you. Except a few of you I've talked to in chat that is lol.

Chuck was in no way in the wrong for anything he said "in this thread anyways". He simply stated the rules to the person, and mentioned that Dan reffered him here. Which ends up being true, Dan did. It's not a bad thing that he did. It got a new member to the site right? Dan on the other hand is taking the offensive *chances are because of things that happened before with Chuck* so he thinks that the comment was something personal towards him. Which in a way if it was me i'd probably do the same thing.

But the comment did not in any way shape or form look personal. This whole arguement really could have been avoided. Some people get mad about something, and then their inner-child comes out. Some people make online threats, some people make no sense what so ever, and others just become sarcastic smart... you get the picture. Anyways.. That's just my insight to this.
 
Oh boy. Before I sit through another 2 pages of this crap I just wanted to say something to Dan and I'm out.

Dan, I'm glad your deal went well with Max. I wasn't trying to say you put Max up to posting for you in the beginning. I just took a guess by his join date that he must have learned about the BOI through you. I don't see anything wrong with asking customers to let others know how their transaction went by posting feedback here. I was trying to help your customer, not hurt him. If I wanted to insult anyone I would have something stupid like "how much did he pay you" or "what did he include for free for you to say that". It was never my intention. I got a little sarcastic and arrogant at the end because both you and he had assumed to know my intentions. If you asked me straight up what I was trying to do I would have told you this very same thing.

Regardless that I was right, my apologies to you for the way I worded my first post to your customer. I could have done a better job which may not have led up to this situation.

Night Folks!
 
Wrong again Jim.

You do not have a good memory. We have a past you forgot about or ignored that I might remember. Your motives are too easy to determine. Your intentions are to knock the competition for personal gain which is nasty and piss poor if you ask me.

As to our communications, I informed you quite nicely via email that I did not want your business after your buddy insulted and further advised that you may wish to take a different approach to sneaking your foot in people's doors that don't know you. Your dismay was anger that I was keen to easily figure out that you only had ill intentions and your interests were not business but were to cause harm later, and I was simply just too smart for you. I am keen to weed out the morons as you can tell. I passed on your friends business and passed on your business because your requests sounded suspect and nutty. Sorry, but no offense meant but if someone hints 10 times they don't want you here, you should have taken the first hint and acted on it.

Regardless, I tried to be nice. Instead of taking the advice, you called and started yelling like some rapid dog and said you wanted to see my six pac abs which was a joke long ago which obviously held good to your heart as you cannot see my humor behind it all. And my additional advice was that if you or anyone went nose to nose with anyone with insults, a nerve might be twitched, and teeth could fly. That is common sense advice and works both ways, and I never threatened you. I don't know you and don't wish any harm to you and feel sorry for you actually because if you take what is written on these bogus threads seriously, then something is the matter with you that perhaps basket weaving might resolve, but don't bother me with your issues as I am no longer in patient care.

But as mentioned, you disregarded that my IQ might be higher than your entire mobile home park combined and I have a memory (another joke just in case you don't get it).

I recall 2 years ago you emailed me and told me you wanted a brooks king I had advertised. Based on your so called solid word and great business reputation to purchase the snake, I took down the advertisement and patiently waited for payment. After never receiving payment of any kind or any further contact from you again for a few days, I contacted you via email asking about the delay in payment. Your reply was funny to say the least. You said you wanted me to hand carry the 20 dollar snake to the Daytona Expo a month later (which I was not attending in the first place) for you to examine. No offense, but I thought it nutty for you as a reptile business person to tell someone you wanted to buy a snake and end the conversation and knowing full well that it will result in the person taking down the advertisement, and then a week later tell them you want to inspect it in person? That is not an unreasonable request had we discussed my attendance at the show or a deposit is made etc., but we did not discuss that so I thought it quite nutty because what gave you the idea I would drive 8 hours for you to examine a 20 dollar snake? Regardless, I thought about bringing you some pizza and beer to go with the kingsnake or some medication as your response was obviously out-there to say the least. At the time, it was quite funny and my friends got a back-breaking laugh at it all. Regardless, we can meet at the corner of Hillsboro and Powerline and you can explain yourself in person if need be. Just name the time and I will be there. 2-3 PM is not good because I get my children from school then but anytime before or after is great. Wednesday or Thursday is fine so far as I do not have plans to go herping then but that might change as my herping will not be feathered by requests to meet nutcases. In any case, we will meet and you can examine the six-pac abs.

Herpinator: What's the five bucks for? Pipe water? Use the tap.

Do you have backup for this? It might bring good light.
 
Don't need backup as my word is gold as you already know.

However, you are welcomed to telephone tomorrow (not 3 AM again) and I will give you a few names of folks who remember it as it was all too funny.

There is not light to bring up anyway. The man tried to push his way into my home and I hinted 10 times that I don't allow strangers into my private collection and advised him to either get to the point quick next time and approach the subject differently. He then telephoned saying he took insult to my advice for him to pursue entry into other peoples homes and started screaming like a madman and voiced he would get into my face and make nasty insults despite he does not know me nor ever bought from me. So all I said is that approach might end up with teeth on the floor is all. He said something about me being fat and hung up the phone. I am 6 foot 1 and 185 pounds of lean meat and fearful only of witches on brooms but not anyone else as I am a fast runner if that is the last resort. I am ready for the meeting. I put baby oil on the six pac abs tonight even.
