• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Bad Guy floridaherps

your ignorance is rediculous im perfectly fine with bloodbank because they have the balls to admit there wrong unlike you stuckup morons who have to be right every single moment i could really care less as to what you believe or not i have my money back and thats all i care about i really could attempt to explain myself but you being such an asshole drives me to believe your some loyal customer of his and thats why you allow such statements to be made and for them to get away with it

through all bloodbanks issues ive never had an issue with them-that got out of control like this

ghanns is a good company when you order large crickets not the small ones which clearly can get out of the cheap and poorly designed box
 
How are you handicapped, by the way? No, I've never ordered crickets online.

Chris, in no way do I think their statements are okay. Also, I noticed they pulled the item you ordered from their site. Notice who started swearing, though. I know you are not in school, but I think people (me included) would be more receptive of you and your issues if you'd try to calm down a bit.
 
Put it into perspective this way:
I work retail. Customers who come in and are INSTANTLY hostile because a product/service wasn't the right fit for them? I'm way more inclined to be strict as all get out about policy. Customers who come in and are nice (even when frustrated) - I want to be more helpful to their situation.

Consider that you're talking to a person and they want to be treated with respect. They didn't make the product, they didn't put it together, and they aren't personally responsible for your dissatisfaction. Yet their job title REQUIRES them to take responsibility as if it was all their fault. So consider that they might just be a little stressed out, too.
 
Looks like I was mistaken about the comment in your last infraction, Mr Scerati...you aren't banned, yet, but you're just a whisper away. (I'm sure I could justify the extra point, so you should probably refrain from smart ass or aggressive comments).

I understand why your issues with other sellers were brought to light, but if you feel the need to comment on them further - please do so in the appropriate threads. This thread isn't about them.

To me this statement says it all I definitely would not sell to you. Look at how you talk in this post when someone disagrees with you, you throw a tantrum.

As far as I can tell, his only handicap is his ability to write properly with punctuation and to express himself with decorum.

It is really hard to understand his posts when everything is written as one long sentence.
 
Although I see faults on both sides, your attitude on this forum leads me to believe you were quite nasty with Floridaherps as well. A customer should be notified of any product changes prior to shipping. They should also be allowed to cancel their order provided they do not agree with those changes. Working in customer service, I can agree with Neon that I am way more likely to help a calm customer than someone who is yelling my face off. I cannot say with any certainty whether you were calm when you called. I can only pull from the facts on this forum in which you attack people offering their opinions in a childish manner. You were even quick to assume Rick and Bill were affiliated with Floridaherps, even though they are not. Approach situations in a calm fashion and you will find people who want to help you.

That being said, a business should never resort to those kinds of petty emails. This is $18 dollars here. No matter what a customer says to you, emails like these reflect very poorly on a business. I have had plenty of customers who made me want to pull my hair out, but I always remain calm which will eventually diffuse a situation.

I agree. But because the emails reflect so poorly on this biz, I'd like to see them with headers please.
 
Does Floridaherps ever respond to these BOI's? Judging from their snarky remarks when people call them out for copyright infringement, these emails do not seem beyond the realm of possibility (although the last one seems a bit over the top). Only Floridaherps can shed more light on this situation.

They do seem to have a poor history. But in order for me, at least, to add the emails in to how I think of them, I'd want to see them with headers to help establish that they were genuine.

Of course they are not someone I would do business with, for their business practices are shady at best.
 
just as a last comment because all of you know-it-alls happen to believe there an outstanding business this own website has claims againest them stealing pictures fake reviews and a 9 page thread on reptile forums about how they charged a customers card without his authority you guys are an outstanding biased team thats just as bad as them

i wont waste anymore of my time posting ive said my peace and my story is out there for everyone to see
 
sorry for the last post i was extremely pissed off still as per how the situation is being handled and the earlier comments left by the early users i will post full headers now
 
these are the worst emails and starting at the most threatening email received to this point

Just as we don’t tolerate customers that call us and make immature fucking threats like a punk ass bitch. You didn’t even let us explain or offer a refund or help. You just called with your fucking attitude and started in with your crap. You are a real great dude… I hope you fucking reptile dies! Enjoy paying 10 times our rate for a test from anyone else. Talk about a complete moron. All you had to do was act like an adult to have everything explained to you. Hell if you would have refraided from being a dick I would have refunded your money and gave you the test results for free. We will do whatever it takes to make our customers happy, and then there are people like yourself that can’t shut his pie hole long enough to me to explain to you a damn thing. I could have even offered you free medication that would take a prescription and vet visit – all for free. All you had to do was not be a dick. Oh well. Enjoy that dying reptile ya got…

Subject: Fecal Kit

Good day Sir,

First I just want to thank you for the kind words you left on our voicemail. Very nice.

As explained in the previous email your kit has a MUCH BETTER fully insulated 4x4x4 box to return the sample in and a MUCH BETTER cold pack than our
old ones. Why on Earth you didn’t let Nick explain this to you (yes I listened to your entire phone call). All you needed to do was this:

1. Collect the sample with the nice new fecalizer.
2. Place gel pack and full fecalizer back into the fully insulated box and freeze overnight.
3. Ship to us.

Was that really so hard? Really? I listened to Nick try and tell you this THREE TIMES only to have you interrupt him. If you won’t let me staff speak how can they help? Nick tried several times
to tell you WHY there was no thermo envelope but you just started yelling. Wow.

You can either return the fecalizer and we’ll get that tested for you in 3 hours or we will be HAPPY to refund your money – no need to make childish threats on a voicemail recording, how old are you? Geez… “If
you don’t return my call in 1 hour I will file a claim at the BBB and my bank”? Who the hell talks like that? My 11 yr old wouldn’t even say that kinda crap.

You have a great day,
