    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....

Inquiry Harry Wessels - Monster Snakes inquiry

Jon,

What Retic was that? I thought the one you had was out of his second clutch ever which the lavender female laid, same one we got Gemini out of? And I know you and I were both mods long before that.

Donald R. Kittell
 
yeah it was that but i gave the order way before in november i wasnt moded up till after the eggs were hatched donnie. Didnt say i wasnt a mod when i got here just when i placed the order.
 
I have never had any "business" dealings with Harry or Brenda, but have to say after reading this, it seems that all of this has turned back around about drama and only one person other than mods on monstersnakesforum has posted regarding his retic business. I'd like to hear some reviews other than his mods, if they're out there.



P.S. I'm sure there will be more drama by me coming on here and saying this. I used to mod for Harry and now am a mod for Donnie on his forum. My comment has nothing to do with a certain few (that have already been banned on here because of their actions) that enjoy to stir drama and have a, previously stated, forum war. It's childish and ridiculous. This inquiry was made in regards of Harry Wessels and his retic business, MonsterSnakesForever so let's all keep it to that and act our age. I simply want to remind everyone that I came to ask if there were any other people that have had business dealings with the business in question that are not mods for his forum. Thanks!!

I use to be a regular member on the monstersnakes forums. Didn't have any problems.

Then, somehow, the news of Donnie and his situation leaked. And somehow, I was the winner if the Blame Game. I wasn't on the forum that frequently at the time, so I didn't hear of it. I heard of it through my good friend Danny Bartsch who called me one day and asked me "Dude are you f*cking crazy?" I didn't know what he was talking about, so he explained it to me. I figured he was screwing around and pretty much ignored him.

So a few days pass and he tells me Harry is making threats at me. Threatening to expose me and make me hated or something along those lines. What he could expose IDK, only thing I've ever had on me was a vandalism charge when I was 16; probably make something up. Danny told Harry my mother works for Homeland Security and he shut his mouth:rofl:

That situation alone will drive me away from him for good. I was thinking about purchasing a retic from him at one time, but not after that.
 
Based on the way he treats people, and his opinion of women, i would never buy from this man. Being a woman that is very independant, i don't take kindly to someone saying that a woman should do as her husband tells her. I don't think any woman would want to deal with a person like that. Or with his wife, who attacks when someone gives their opinion of what was said... Here is what i'm talking about...

ya know, I have been accused of sending out those screen shots so many times, and that is the reason harry said he started attacking me in the first place, saying that either I sent those or knew who sent them to BHB and the other people. So all this time I have just not been able to figure it out. Who are you?

I'm sorry you've taken hits for what i think is the right thing to to. No you don't know me... I am a friend of a friend of a friend. These screenshots were emailed to me because the person thought it was funny. I thought it was insulting to all women. They can check my ip, i am a real person. That is my real name.
 
Beatrice, Donnie isn't the only one that has taken "hits" for what you've done. You have caused problems much farther than that. If you had a problem with what was said, you should have brought it to Harry's attention and not emailed the screen shots to whomever you pleased. Thanks to your actions, a lot of people got accused for sending it when obviously you couldn't stand up and speak your mind at the time being. A friend of a friend of a friend bs is ridiculous, why don't you tell us who you really are and stand up for what you've done and the problems you've created??? But no, now you want to come on the BOI when someone else is asking about Harry's business dealings and post the screen shots again. Yes, I understand that you don't agree with Harry's ways, but have you ever done business with him??? That is the sole purpose of this thread.
 
Well I suppose that would have to do with how he does business. If he treats women differently then men. I don't think btrue100 intended for anyone of us to catch the blame for it, I think that may have been more of Harry making uneducated accusations. I'm sure there are female buyers out here who find that information valuable. To know if they want to buy an animal they will not be viewed the same way as men by this seller.
 
Tara, i was not aware of any problems. I made my opinion known to a lot of people. I don't keep up with forum politics. I don't have the time. It is a free country, and i can state my opinion to anyone I choose. As for telling Harry how i feel... exactly what do you think that would have accomplished? I now boycott all his sponsers for their continued participation with him. I have also let all my female friends know about this, and told them to tell their friends. Word of mouth is a wonderful thing. As stated before, i would never do business with a man who thinks a woman is a second class citizen.

I agree with you 100% that women in the reptile industry or in life in general should not be treated less than a man. I'm just stating because of the emails sent out, a lot of people got accused of sending it when they didn't. It would have been nice to have seen this thread posted publicly months ago is all that I'm saying.
 
Honestly, i didn't even know this place existed until this morning. I was told to check it out. If i had known of this place, i would have started my boycott campaign here. I think the idea behind this place is great... but like i said before, i don't have time for forum politics and drama. Now, i've said what i came to say. People can agree or disagree... once again, free country.
 
So you are the warrior woman eh? I was someone else who got blamed for all that since it was apparently my comment that started the whole thing anyways. I didn't do it but wish i had and i applaud you for it!
 
i just wanted to say that i had gotten a snake from harry , i didnt buy it but won it in a contest, the snake is great, its my fav. in my collection, he produces quality animals, yes im a mod on his forum now but at the time i wasnt , before i became a mod he was verry nice and helped me out with allot of questions, and the snake was sent to me in a timely manner, it even ate for me the day i had received it , in no way has anyone asked me to post on here, this thread was started for asking if monstersnakes was good to buy snakes from and i say yes, it doesnt sound like anyone has bought sick or unhealthy anmails from him or they would have posted it .

Not to jump on you, but as a general FYI... I understand it is unwise to feed a newly acquired snake right away because, even if they eat, they might regurge. I think the usual advice is to wait at least 3 days?
Neither here nor there since your snake is fine.
 
If it was just his wife it wouldn't matter, it's that he treats ALL women like we are second class, apparently we should know our place and not argue with the all powerful males -_-
