    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 Garret Smith ( Scammer )

Perhaps talk to Lynn about any theories you may have.

Patrick,
I believe you have misjudged the reasoning for my post. I am no victim of anyone nor trolling anything. Only Michael until just now has even hinted in public to possibly be involved with Garrett. Even know Charlie has not stood up on his box and claimed "I have been robbed by Garrett". If you wish to make personal sleights by all means we can't be more than a few hours from each other.

Scott maybe you should re-read the entire thread. Myself as well as MANY others have been trolled, harassed and lied to by Garrett Smith. Its obvious that you have not read this thread in its whole. If you had, you would have seen posted proof by myself and several others. I am not sure of the relevance of our geographical locations that you are making. Is that some veiled threat? Maybe thats winning in your book?

My friend don't wast your time on these two...
They claim to be helping Mike and etc but all they doing is calling out the people who are customers of Garrett and saying bad things about us...Even Mike stop talking to them or posting on here...

Trying to help?
Yeah, okay. .
 
Lol, more "winning" from "DragonDavy". Glad to see you doing more than just trolling this thread... Oh wait...
Scott, please post something of substance in this thread. The past month or so you pop up trolling, asking rediculous questions that have already been answered, making absurd statements and then disappear. Then, the people you have directed your questions to answer your questions and you have nothing to say. I can't imagine why?

I'm not winning,but whatever you say...
Still know nothing, and guess all the people dealing with Garrett are bad people. ..

My last post on here will go back to looking...
Bye bye
 
Probably going to upset a few people but here goes
And yes this is off topic but so has been 97% of the bilge spewed out here recently so what the heck!

YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP...PERIOD!

This thread, yes this particular thread is starting to have a negative impact on the very tenant of the BOI.
It is now a travesty and if I was WebSlave I would bend my own rules and bury it six feet under forever!
Now I am not just voicing my opinion here, but rather bringing to this forum the effect this is having.

This particular thread has become a discussion item in a number of FB reptile groups and not in a good way! Yes FB is still populated by a vast number of immature individuals but not totally, and I am not liking what I am reading!
I have personally been involved in one of these discussions trying to defend the boi even though on the other hand I was in agreement with the criticism being levelled.
This thread has been singled out due to its over bloated and gorged manner driven in the majority by two individuals who really should know better.

People, this thread lost the plot a LONG time ago and all I have seen in the last oh say 500 posts or so is sniping, bickering, and generally off topic posts.

Oh I know this will generate a lot of negative comments and I am ready for the negative karma weenie roast but you are HURTING the BOI reputation right now!
 
No, I don't deal in wild caught animals. So I would have never even saw his name till this thread came about. And what alligation? Lol I made no alligation there. And I don't have to define anything. You know exactly what I mean. I'm not looking to continue this, I made my opinion and for some reason, even though it seems you don't seem to like me, you want to keep this going. I said nothing mean, just an opinion and different takes on the situation. I'm not as saturated in this thread as you seem to be. You want justice, that's great, but you can't do anything if the "victims" one of which has made alternate deals and canceled them all, and others who never came forward to begin with don't want to help themselves.

Chris, this is the second time I'm quoting it for you, I'm starting to think you are flat out refusing to look at it so you can keep going on and on and on about it being avoided.

wait a sec... how do you know nothing?. its been so long since you gave Garrett several $K.. Please help us common folk understand the loopholes and obstacles associated with importing exploited, endangered, and hard to get wildlife.
 
snakeman101172, many of garrett's victims have stepped forward. Maybe you choose not to see them. If you were lied to, trolled, harassed, or victimized by garrett in any way you are a VICTIM. I bet if you fit into any of those categories you would think differently. Are you now or at any point were you a potential victim of Garretts? Or are you just trolling this thread yourself because of behavioral/emotional problems like Eleixis?

Nice stab, I do not have behavioral/emotional problems [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] don't even know where you got that from, I don't even know you lol
 
Awful smug all of a sudden?

Called me numerous times whining, moaning, & groaning, saying you & your biker buddies in California, are going to Chico & thumping Garrett, for ripping you off for $6500.

Not once have you come here and said a word, until now, thanking someone who is defending him, are you bi-polar, or did Garrett promise you another $100, or a couple extra lizards?

Charlie, I'm on your side, but enough is enough, speak up, and get it off your chest, Garrett ripped you off, and that's, that!

AVOID Garrett Smith at ALL COST, HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED. PERIOD!

Really lyn? Please tell me how I defended him in the least. You and Chris are so absorbed with this thread and can't seem to let it go that you're now fabricating things in your mind. My post here was in no way defending Garrett but asking what you 2 would do should those animals appear and explaining why none of his satisfied customers would NEVER post on this thread, Chris showed exactly why perfectly himself. I think you 2 need to leave this boi alone. You have become so absorbed in it you are interpeting anything that doesn't agree with you as defending someone when I clearly said I wasnt, I put a new perspective out there that you 2 refuse to even think could be possible.

I am unsure what you mean by the past month. been year since 2007. Nothing I do is veiled. I am curious as off the point as it may be what ridiculous question you mean? Also, if my ridiculous question was answered what would you expect me to say? perhaps please answer it again? I have read the entire thread many times as any moderator here can attest to my usage and viewing habits pertaining to this. Believe it or not I believe people have been wronged here, however there is more to this than just what has been typed in public view. My only point in my previous post was for some reason none of these "VICTIMS" are claiming to be victims, they are talking behind the scenes to people that in my opinion put to much faith in them from the start. Lynn and Chris as well as many others are being manipulated. To be clear, that does not mean or imply in any way Garrett is in the right so to speak. If you have further doubt of my intent here speak with Lynn.

What part of last post you didn't understand?
Not feeding into this BOI anymore. ..

And when I said " know nothing" I was talking about yourself...

So again I'm done...

MODS sorry for saying shit next time I'll say crap..

:iagree::iagree:

Would anyone buy something off of Chris or Lynn Peterson? Lynn was on my "Do not deal with" list way before this BOI. I won't buy an anole off of Lynn if it was the last lizard on earth. He had displayed his typical aggressive behavior on this BOI quite well.

If anyone is interested in buying animal off of me and sees this post. I will send you all the bank wire forms and email showing this transaction is legit. I will also send you the animals with no money down. If you like what you receive, then you can pay me.

I don't need to prove anything to these two.

Would anyone buy animals off of Chris or Lynn YES/NO

I would! Check their animals.They all are part of their personal collections and look fantastic!

I swear I am not desperate and my import/export sales are great! That is why I make pathetic attempts to sell animals that are not even in my possesion and that I am literally clueless about. Maybe myself or some of my witless cronies can clear things up for anyone with half a brain who has been bamboozled by my BS. Please just read this whole thread!

The answer to that question does exactly *what* to negate the fact that you're a proven smuggler whose word would likely count for nothing, to any vaguely objective person who'd happen along and make their way through this thread? In all reality, you should probably be thanking those whose spam posts may have worked to divert some attention away from your part in all of this. No idea what it is you've convinced yourself you're accomplishing, but it's definitely a delusion.

If you have the proof, post it. Otherwise, save the :icon_bs: for some other group of people who might actually be fooled by your nonsense. Desperation really is a stinky cologne, and even I can catch your faint reek from the other side of the country. Maybe if you'd had some interest in actually taking care of your current customers, you wouldn't need to do your buffoonish prancing around to try and attract new ones.
