Yes, I have had a license and have kept venomous snakes for many years, including while in Asia.
Personally it does not matter to me if anyone in the reptile trade or business believes the facts I've provided because most of you deserve eachother.
What does matter and is vital here is that prospecting customers and the general public can utilize this forum and gather some determination of the nature of a business before completing a transaction with an individual or company.
Now if you read the beginning of the thread, Ben Seigel has already vouched that the snake was dead. Further, the day I received it at my home, I asked him to do a favor for me and photo the snake because at the time I did not own a digital camera. I took the corps to him, he saw it dead, he smelled it dead, and he saw its emaciated rotted diseased body, and he also took a picture of the dead snake for me. Now Ben does not deal venomous snakes and does not need the hassle of what some boneheads could twist this situation into.
Again, every word Serpentboy has written is a lie and he is only misleading the public. He is fearful to call Ben because he knows Ben saw the dead snake and Ben took a photo of the dead snake.
I do not wish to have Ben bothered or harassed with this issue further because it only adds to why Serpentboy initiated a post under my name and not Serpentboy's name, so please do not contact Ben or harass him with this issue.
Serpentboy is only interested in ensuring that prospective customers do not learn about his deceit, fraud, and thievery. And he is out to blemish his competition.
What is even more problematic, is that many of the readers here are helping Serpentboy's cause? Did I say deserve each other earlier?
Now if one of you out there has the capability to link this thread to Serpentboys name, then you would be serving the public well. If not, then please keep the analysis part of your inquires to yourself.
Again, if anyone would like to discuss this matter, give me a call, 954-426-8268. Send an email so I know to go off line. I would be glad to discuss this with anyone who really has a dedicated interest in it. Oh, and Serpentboy, guess what just went out in the mail to UPS and several other carriers and investigative services? I know it was against the law to record our conversations, but I will take a slap on the hand for it as long as you get a big tickle as a result. Would you like me to take the time to put a dictation of your words on this forum. I think Texas Fish and Game would like to see it.
I hope your home when they come knocking.
