    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....

Bad Guy Dean Stemple Strictly Exotics BAD GUY!

Very, very disappointing dean, yet not your first "wise" decision nor a shock.

Chris, I'm sorry your generosity has been taken advantage of and that dean's repeated dishonesty serves as another slap in the face. You have been more then patient and I would contact your local police and press charges for this theft. He is nothing more then a criminal and should be dealt with accordingly.
 
Chris,
Sad to say, I agree with Dand. Dean should have been able at the very least, to move/sell most of the snakes and been able to pay you a good sized chunk of the money that he owes you. V/R Paige

No such luck. I sent Dean a text on Monday to ask him why I didn't get a payment. He said it got sent out a little later than he expected but it should be here this week. I'll check for it again on Friday... :shrug01:

Brian... I guess I owe you an apology. Looks like you were right on the mark with Dean. I still think it was a little premature on your part.... but you were right. Sorry bout that :eek:

Dean... You continue to show that you'll lie when the truth would serve you better. You are definitely not the person I thought you were. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because of what I went thru. Not no more.... I have no sympathy for habitual liars... and thats what you have constantly been doing with Chris.

Way to ruin your reputation

:iagree: with every bit.

He had his chance to reply, he had his chance to get back on the tracks. I hope you get the remainder of your money someday, somehow!!
 
Brian, i owe you an apology as well. Was giving dean the benefit of the doubt for far to long.

Dean, im deeply disappointed.

I'm sure the next time when (or to take a more realistic approach, if) you hear from him, I'm sure there will be some sort of valid excuse like he had to take his cat to the plumber or the post office had moved or no matter how much he licked the stamp it just wouldn't stay stuck to the envelope. :rolleyes:

Again Chris, I would suggest contacting your local police, file a report and press charges. You have given that criminal enough leniency, it's time to throw the book at him.

Hmm, look what a little bird told me:

http://www.okreptileevents.com/vendors

Appears he is slated to have tables 37-39 for the shows on June 25-26. So he has 3 tables (which appear to be paid for already) worth of animals yet he can't seem to make good on this deal. :NoNo:

YIKES...Dean, I think you just screwed yourself...HARD.

I'll be praying for you, man.
 
I'm guessing the divorce must be moving along or at least expected to be over by June. He must have had even more animals then 3 tables worth or must have gotten all of them in the divorce. Odd how he was using the divorce as an excuse for not being able to discuss any of this or sell off any animals yet he now has (I can only guess they wouldn't post his name on the site if they weren't) paid for his tables. Guess we know where Chris' last payment was sent.

He is nothing more then a common criminal (he is only "wise" enough to be common) and deserves to be treated as such. While I certainly do not wish this upon Chris, I do hope he is the only one dean has stolen from.
 
Dean, I don't understand. I was really counting on you to come through. I have nothing at stake here, but I thought more of you than this. The tables at the upcoming show really have nothing to do with my statement. It's more of a delayed reaction of Chris' waiting for 2 weeks on a payment that you told him was on the way...again. It's because there was no more communication to let him know what came up to prevent the payment, which would have said something about you trying your best to make this right, and not just continuing to let it slip away. But (not even including Chris) I'm sure that I'm not the only one disappointed.

Chris, I am still hoping that you get your money. I'm just no longer "hopeful"...if that makes any sense.
 
To be honest, I doubt there really is a divorce at all. Most corrupt couples work together and make up stories to confuse people and to draw attention elsewhere. The whole story they are trying to pull just doesnt make sense. I truly believe that the wife is in on the whole thing. Just my opinion though.
