    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....

Has anyone here dealt with Daniel Turner that posts on kingsnake.com as ms reptiles or m&s reptiles out of maryland?
If so, how did it go? This isn't a bad guy post yet, but Daniel or (Dan) as he posts, you need to do the right thing here... do not look a girft horse in the mouth!
I am basicly looking for inquiries about this individual at this time, who has purchased animals from him, and how did it go?
Thank you,
John Staursky
p.s. Daniel, if you are reading this, I'm not joking man.. you cost me some bucks in the past year!
 
Hi John,
 I'd personally stear clear of this kid.  Last year we almost did a trade with him for a german giant bearded.  He gave a story on it with a little shady background and I thought " better check this out and ask more questions".  It turned out he lied about his age, he lied about where the bearded came from, he lied about how much money he had in him (the bearded), and pretty much totally misrepresented the whole thing.  The morning we were supposed to meet, I e-mailed him asking for his number to call him.  I actually was lucky enough to get a hold of his mother, who was very interested in hearing of our "deal".  She was more than helpful, and wasn't to happy with what was going on.  She enlightened me on how the bearded was found outside, with a wound on it's back, probably from another animal or something.  God only knows what that thing could have been carrying as far as diseases or something!!  Not to mention what it could have caused our animals to go through if it was sick or something.   Ever since then, I've stayed clear of him and his animals!!  If you want more on him, or the situation, e-mail me and I'll tell you the whole story.  If you need contact info on him, let me know and I'll try to find his number.  I'm also not too far from him and I know he frequents the Havre De Grace reptile show in Maryland as well.  If you need more help, let me know.
 Thanks,
 Bob
 
john what the matter about a year ago i posted that daniel turner ripped me off and you took up for him. you was going to kick my butt, told me i didn't know who i was messing with and all that good stuff, you even told me you had been in jail trying to scare someone hahaha. your good buddy got you tooooooooo  thats funny hahahaha. mabye next time you will keep you big mouth shout and listen. still funny hahahaha. you can look on old boi if you don't remember it john.   loren winters
 
Loren (or whoever you are)
You are right, sorry I didn't believe you at the time. I don't know if your blood python deal really happened or not, Daniel swore to me he never had any and I still sort of believe him, but who knows.
As far as kicking your butt???  Yes, I stil want to kick your butt because I don't like your attitude queer..ha ha ha (kidding)
Daniel didn't rip me off! We had a major mis-understanding and have decided to go seperate ways on dealing with eachother.
Have fun,
John Staursky
 
john you don't like my attitude because its like yours. you can bet your bottom dollar daniel beat me out of $375 for 2 red bloods i never got. you said in your post that he cost you alot money in my book that ripping you off. i don't no what they call it in texas but your hearts not that big. he got me and you and hanoverherps and i know there were others he got couple years ago. so how many more does he have to rippoff so you will belive it, you do buissnes with him you are a fool .

John,

What's up with Daniel? I'm trying to work out a trade for some of my higher end animals? Anything I should know?

I met this kid from you, and he seems cool, but now you're worrying me.

What should I know?
 
Just to clarify Lorens post, he (daniel) did not "get me".  I figured out on my own that I was better off not doing a trade with him.  There was nothing exchanged, money nor animals.  I saw that John was asking (inquiring) about past deals with Daniel and felt mine was relevant to the post at hand.  Daniel is a young person and we all make mistakes, but we all must also learn by them as well.

To the Board of Inquiry,
Loren Winters is the perfect example of why minors should have their Mommies monitoring their childs internet use.
Daniel Turner never ripped me off for any money and I never said that he did, but I'm sure you all can read beetween the lines and see that this loren winters person is a child with no parental guidance. Please don't take any of what he/she says seriously.
Loren... stop  following me around the internet you idiot!

John,

Maybe it is just me, but when I read, "p.s. Daniel, if you are reading this, I'm not joking man.. you cost me some bucks in the past year!", I read between the lines that he either ripped you off or that he has screwed you in some way.  

But you say he didn't, soooo...I guess I am asking, what's the point?
 
Rob,
Costing someone money and owing someone money are two different things. Daniel did not outright rip me off on any 1 deal or anything like that... this is why I posted and INQUIRY on him.. to see what other peoples dealing were like with him.
Does that make sense to you?
Thanks,
John Staursky
p.s. I'm not responding to this thread anymore, loren winters is just responding to it to keep it on the fron page here. If anyone has any other comments for me you can e-mail me at [email protected]
 
Not to worry John. It's quite obvious to all that the past few replies from Loren personified the word "troll".
 
ken what do you mean by troll. john jumped on me when i posted that daniel ripped me off about 2 years ago now jahn is makin same statment about his buddy he took up for then. i still crap my pants when  i thinh of it hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha.  loren winters
