    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....

or, the Adult female Ball was just alot heavier than the babies I am used to shipping. I also insured her, and did the earliest delivery possible, by 8am.

Off Topic, but since when does FedEx pay out insurance on an animal? I think the Certification contracts say that they will not be responsible for Live Arrival and will not pay an insurance claim. Don't have mine in front of me, but I thought that was the stipulations when using FedEx?

You are correct - Fedex does not have insurance on any perishable - including animals - it's part of your certification waiver.
 
Great Transaction

Debra sent us some snakes that arrived yesterday. The animals came in perfectly and looking very good. Communication was great and she shipped when she said she would. I could not be happier with the transaction. Another great deal. Thanks, Debra.

I am in 100% agreement Jim

Ever since my infamous thread in here this past February I have watched this forum (and participated a little) on occasion.

These BOI threads are mostly the same (just change the names of the people and substitute different ball python or leopard gecko morphs as the reasons for the disputes) and the ones that end up as 100 post grudge matches have the same outcomes: thread after thread - the original poster or the subject person are trashed --- and all the while other posters in the thread bicker and argue with each other like they are judges. I dare ANY of you to confront each other in person like men. You don't have it in you. That's why a lot of you average about 2.8 or more posts per day for the past several years.

This entire forum isn't even about animals for the most part - it's more about conflicting personalities, misunderstandings, and arguments.

Translation: "Because the good people of this forum were kind enough to allow me my full range of expression, thereby demonstrating the fact that I am a rude and arrogant fool, I will now, in a vain attempt to cover my embarrassment, attempt to convince you all that this forum, and all it contains, is completely irrelevant, and should not be paid the slightest attention."
 
Please don't give me any more negative karma you bunch of pussies... it's really hurting my feelings.

Hummm Isn't what you are doing with your posts the same as what you spouted off about.... You are sitting behind your computer calling people names and expressing your disgust of this forum.Everyone seems a wee bit tougher behind a computer screen. Take your own advice. Man up and take your problems to the people you have issue with. Do you have it in you?

Let's see....Adam Block, Gilbert Thompson, Sal Tornambene, Ray Strickland...the list goes on and on Peter. They thought Fauna was a joke too. Their negative threads did nothing but increase their sales.

Yah...right.

You know what they all have in common? They are all gone from this industry. Funny isn't it?

i guess the arrogant attention whore in you just can't resist stopping by now and again and dropping his pants. Ah well...everybody needs a hobby I guess.
 
John, you ignorant asshole.

John,

This is what I comprehend when reading your diatribes:

"My name is John Schmitt (or however you spell you name) and I am so smart. blah blah blah. I sit in judgement... blah blah blah. I will make sense of everyone else's arguments... blah blah blah".

Screw you John. Also --- I have been meaning to tell you this as well: I bought 1.1 Northern Pines from you last summer. I also bought 2.2 Northern Pines from Home Grown Herps. Your Northern Pine Snake bloodline is WEAK and I would guess seriously inbred. All of Jim Keenan's (Home Grown Herps) animals out-ate and out-grew your animals by at least DOUBLE.

Also --- I received an email from a friend stating this: Some :censored: named John Zalewski (Serafim)..........well........... he just doesn't know you. Basically he said that you are hiding behind your computer and he asked if you "have it in you" to confront the people you have issues with.

Hey john zalewski you goddamned pussy --- meet me at 6th and F streets, NW Washington DC tomorrow at 11 AM. I have a business appointment across the street at 10 AM and there is a Starbucks at that corner (6th and F). I will be happy to prove you as the pussy you are - right there on the street for everyone to see...
 
Johns Z is not the one flapping his lips about what a tough guy he is. That would be you.

He stated, "Take your own advice. Man up and take your problems to the people you have issue with. Do you have it in you?"

That means if you have a problem with someone, take it to them. Why should they have to meet you? Go to them if you if you have the testicular fortitude to do so. You seem to be the one wanting to meet people. :shrug01:

Not that it has any relevance to the post at hand. :rolleyes:

As I said...an attention whore and blowhard to the bitter end. Congratulations Peter. You have graduated from merely obnoxious and arrogant to a common thug trying to pick fights. Not really much of a surprise.

However, this thread is not about you (although you obviously think pretty much everything is) so if you want to parade your mental illness further for all to see, resurrect your own thread and quit hijacking others.

Oh and by the way, a fair number of Jim Keenans Northern Pine breeding stock came from me. Go figure Petey.
 
Hey Peter if you can't hack what people reply to your posts without blowing a gasket. maybe you should just shut off your machine and read a book. They make medication for your condition I suggest you take some. You do not know me. You don't know what I am about. Don't throw some half assed challenge down on the computer. Call me up and lets arrange it. You are one of those self absorbed little wannabee's. All you do is blow your kewl and ramble on calling people names and making threats etc. Grow up move on. Your prescense is no longer wanted....

Well then, it seems the ability to comprehend has left you long ago.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you, Peter. Either cut the criminal threats, or I'll cut them for you. I have the ability to take it much farther than simply banning from this site. Getting your ISP account yanked and being the subject of a criminal investigation aren't really worth it, are they?

Peter , thanks for the kind words about my animals.
BUT, I don't appreciate you throwing up my name in your battles. There really wasn't any need for it, and it proved absolutely nothing. You and I have done business in the past which all went smoothly.

Though the offspring you purchased from me was not from John's stock, I do have a good number of his animals in my collection. The Northern Pines I purchased (6 to be exact) from john over the past few years are all growing like weeds, look good, and I have never had any problems with them at all. One of them was able to breed this season, and again I was very pleased with the outcome.

This female was from his 2004 offspring

I would like to apolgize to all who have read this thread that has been taken way off Topic. I should have never added any fuel to this fire. I am sorry I lowered my standards...
 
Thanks for the kind words Jim. That's a nice looking clutch.

I too would like to apologize for this thread being hijacked. Though I was not the original hijacker, my responses allowed Mr. Jolles to keep this going sideways.
