    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 Glades Herp Farms/Florida (RobRoy MacInnes) - fraudulent behaviour

No reaction from Glades Herp:NoNo:
They are planing, coming in June to Germany at Hamm-show. They probably did not dare any more to Germany...they are not coming to the show.
Mr. McInnes is owes to me more than 4500USD.

So please notice:
Mr. McInnes seemed to be a swindler, whoes won´t to pay his owes!!!
Beware dealing with this company :NoNo:

So I must going straight to the courts.... :rolleyes:

Many thanks

Those guys are pathetic. A large theft of this amount will not be forgotten by the herp community, that's for sure. I'll never do business with them.
 
I already posted it on the Swamp Brothers Facebook page as well as two blogs that came up via a search. Just keep going around posting the link.

Not seeing it on there page. It looks like there are so many post it must be shared once a week to stay on there wall.

It looks like it was deleted and I was removed as a Fan (or blocked) from the page. I did notice the brother's manager posted on the thread requesting the owner of the Fan page contact them after I posted the link. He likely requested its removal. I would suggest others keep posting the link to put pressure on them.

Honestly I almost did, but chickend out. I didn't know why yours was gone so I figured I would find out before I did.
 
I bought one snake from Glades Herps a couple years ago, was listed on the site as a unsexed WC adult regal ringneck snake, $35. Upon receiving the snake I was very disappointed to find it was a different western sub-species other than the regal.

Recently I contacted them via email asking if they could put me on a waiting list to be notified when they get some regals in and that I'd pay them up to $50 each for them for however many they have, and I got a reply saying thanks for the offer but we easily sell those snakes for $150-$200 when we have them.

Great people for sure down there.

I posted again on there Facebook page. The letter from the attorney posted in the first post of this thread specifically name Robert Keszey, one of the "Swamp Brothers," as making the purchase on behalf of Glades Herp.
 
Wow. These people sound like scum to me. The reptile community really doesn't need people like Glades Herp Farms. Now keep in mind that I have never bred or sold any reptiles but I would think that people would want to treat their customers with respect and make friends in this business so they could thrive and do well. To me, a good reputation is more important then money. That is just me though. I am sure some people would agree with the money part though, which is sad.

As I have stated previously, I have not bred or sold snakes either but I want to get into the Ball Morphs. What I do have to say about this is I have been around enough businesses to know that if you have great customer service and you treat all your customers good/great then don't even worry about the money situation because all of the customers that you treat well will be back over and over again. So with that being said, "The money will come if you treat people right"
 
OP, I am truly sorry that you are still dealing with this issue. I sincerely hope you get it resolved soon.

I watched an episode of "Swamp Brothers" after reading this and couldn't help but post a link to the BOI on their Facebook fan page. Boy, did I open a can of worms. I have tried my very best to remain civil and try to educate the doubters as to what the Board of Inquiry is for, but something tells me this is a lesson in futility :).
 
How odd, I was just watching Swamp Brothers last night and checked out their website.

On the show they imply that Robbie owns the place and his brother Stephen knows nothing about the reptiles or business since he's been in New York working. But I'm CERTAIN I saw Stephen at a reptile show a few years ago when I was looking at their products. If Stephen was attending the shows and working the tables, he's hardly the novice to reptiles that the show portreys. I sent a couple messages asking why the deception to the Discovery contacts, with no reply.

It's ridiculous to not pay his bills. It's stealing. TV show or not, making money or not, having rare pricy animals or not. He owes the money. Pay up!
