    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site.

    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....

First off 98% of all communication with this guy was on the phone so I really don't have any emails I can post for everyone to see I have some pictures if requested.

I was on kingsnake and found this guy Donald Rollins selling some beardies cheap I had been considering breeding a few normals to help supply some nice pet stores near by he was asking $75.00 per dragon So I bought two of the better looking girls from him.

It took me a good week to get this guy to ship them keep in mind its winter its cold well when the box came I was horrified to see about 50 holes poked in it, come on its 32-35 degrees out common sense would have helped a lot! I opened the box and it has only two sides insulated with this really cheap thin foam there was a plastic shoe box in it stuffed with shredded news paper I took both girls out, frozen solid and dead and I don't think the one would have made it regardless of being pack right as it was nothing but skin and bone no fat packs or anything I don't even think this guy used real pictures of the dragons. Well I start looking around for the heat packs there was ONE tiny heat pack that would heat no more then my toe! It was so tiny i don't even know what in the world it would be used for.

So I call and tell him they are dead and I am being nice at this point, and he offers me his Rankins now I do know I was taking a risk but I said I'd take them as replacements, for 3 weeks he kept blowing me off on shipping well the past two days where 60 degrees lows of 45 at night and I called him told him to ship it's great weather first day he didn't "Oh I don't want to ship them now" I told him right out HOW to properly pack these dragons and how to ship call again last night telling him to ship again he never called back finally get a hold of him today "OH I don't want them to die I will just sell them at a show" I finally lost it and told him right out he KILLED the dragons shipping because he didn't do one damn thing packing wise right not to mention the girls where skinny, dirty, and god knows what kind of parasite and other medical problems where going on.

He doesn't really seem to care no show of emotion nothing so I am expecting a refund by tonight or I will go after him through my credit card company.


This guy is really bad news please be careful and not deal with him I found another complaint on him on a snake board it said he sold Het Lavender Albinos and the person bred the snakes to a true lavender albino and got all normals so he scammed him lying about the genetics.



*************STOP AND READ FIRST****************

PICTURES BELOW ARE OF THE DEAD FEMALES IF YOU CAN'T TAKE SEEING SOMETHING LIKE THIS PLEASE STOP HERE.

I find this hard to believe. i have done alot of buisness with donald rollins an he has never ever done me wrong.
Did he garuntee you live arrival?
Cause right now everyone is only hearing your side of the story
theres your side. there is his side. theres a lie an a truth.
is donald aware of this thread?

i just called him an let him know

he said he didnt garuntee live arivall.
 
Is this the same "Rollins" that was associated with LAW Reptiles? The name rings a bell. Where was he located? If this is the same guy, I would advise contacting your CC Company ASAP. Good luck.

It's probably a good likelihood. The name is mentioned quite a few times in one of the threads.

Personally, I wouldn't do business with anyone who does business with those thieves and scammers.
 
Yes some of that info sounds like Donald Rollins he is from Dayton Ohio has a company called All About Wood there is a big postabout him on Ball-Pythons.net about how he scamed a bunch of people I was getting funky feelings and looked into this found that a few days agoI had a Live Arrival and 24 hour health Guarentee he can deny it all he wants as I have called my Credit Card Company and reported it they are getting my money back. He wouldnt even answer his phone for me 9 times out of 10 I had to call from a different line to get a hold of him.
 
You know, I was going to start a thread about this guy a while back when I saw him selling on KS, but I thought it was a different guy and didn't want to drag his name through the mud. It would be nice to have him post here to defend his good name.

OOOOOH, this is going to be fun!
 
I highly doubt he'll even reply to the thread... I mean there is an off chance that he will... but if he's a known scumbag, odds are he will just assume it'll be better to ignore it... who knows though... I do agree with it being potentially interesting...
 
So...

Do you back this guy up? Since you called him, is he going to respond?
 
Im not backing him up.
I just gave my opinion. an also said something i think me an you both could agree on

there is a lie. there is a truth. an there is her side an his side. you an everyone else have only heard hers.

an i also said the buisness that i have done with donald has went very well.

I dont think donald will make an account to respond to any of this but he knows its here. thats his deal not mine. i just wanted him to be aware of what is being said.

thanks

Is Donald Rollins associated with David Rollins?

The reason I ask is back in October 2008 I was talking to, through email, a David Rollins about a possible trade for a female albino ball for one of my boas. I then received an email from a Donald Rollins regarding the trade and it seemed strange because of the different name, but Donald seemed to know about the trade.
So in the next email that I replied to David I told him about the email from Donald and asked if he was one in the same. Me next email from whoever was something very short along the lines of " she's sold" and nothing else.
I still have a couple of the emails on my computer and I'll try to find more.

theres 3 or 4 in the bunch. all are well known scammers on and off of forums along with craigslist and such also. they have several different reptile business names they use and was keeping a big part of the stuff at the shop in miamisburg ohio called all about wood. i live in cincinnati ohio and wont even visit the local show (west carrolton) because all of these set up there and have sold nmumerous sick animals. i have seen it for myself and actually talked to one of them one day when i visited that show once and found out who they were.i have never been back and never will. shows that promote scum and scammers is not one ill spend money on or at. but to answer the question, yes they're all in the same pack. they sell from miamisburg, centerville,west carrollton,dayton and a few other addresses lol

So you've done alot of business with these scumbags. Please tell us Jesse how that went, give us all the details and names. Let's hear your side of the story seeing you were so eager to jump into the fray.

Also reading your posts are at the very least painful and nauseating. Just for fun throw a few caps in there once every sentence and maybe hit the spell check button. It is right below the reply you are now typing and the last one on the right. If you're too lazy to do this then don't post.
 
Not every scammer scams all the time. It is possible Jesse dealt with him before knowing who he was. It is also possible that he had positive experiences. He was certainly quick to say that he was NOT backing him up. I think Jesse was trying to be fair without knowing who he was dealing with. I don't think he would come on here and knowingly defend a scammer....don't know him, but sometimes one gets a gut feeling about someone.

Jesse- In all fairness, make sure you read the links posted and try to see if this is the same guy. It may save your butt or someone else's in the future.
