    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.

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

Hello,

I am looking to buy some snakes from this person and just wanted to know if anyone has done as buisness with him in the past. I am all new at this and I was told that this would be the best place to find any info.

Thanks, Karma
 
SNAKES DEN

Yes, I have dealt with Mr. Dan Parma from Snakes Den on several occassions. His service and quality of animal is phenominal! I have purchased several different reptiles from the snakes den and all were in excellent condition and all are great eaters. Mr. Parma was very professional and accomodating to my specific needs: shipping, extra info, etc. I have recommended him to several of my friends also and they have had great experiences with the quality of his reptiles. If you are looking to purchase reptiles, you are inquiring about the right place. I give the snakes den an A+:D
 
SAL !!!!!!

I have spent thousands of dollars with snakes den and will not hesitate to spend thousands more in the future. The animals are of the hjighest quality and the service speaks for itself. Keep up the GREAT JOB Dan. Dan is good people not like SAL FROM UPSTATE now doing business as BOCA reptiles out of a storage shed in FL. He self admited that the animals he is selling in some of the other sites as (100%eating, 100%healthy) havent eaten since the purchase which was over 2 months ago. I got his list and the stuff he has left to sell lets just say SAL IS UPTO HIS OLD TRICKS AGAIN. Sorry got carried away for a second, Anyway Dan at Snakes Den= GREAT PEOPLE, SAL at BOCA REPTILES=DEAD BEATS!!!!!CROOKS, THEIVES, sorry there I go again just BAD PEOPLE.
 
Here we go!!!

Hey DAN!!!

I think you know well enough who I am! I am the guy you screwd for over $5000 worth of animals, and here is the proof.

First off i would like to say Mr. SISTINO a new member Jenn Sill, to come forward on the BOI and show proof of the "THOUSANDS" of dollars in animals that you have purchased from Mr. Dan. The reason i'm asking for this information is..... Dan, has taken me for over $5000 worth of animals. He was a so called "friend", when i was down and out going through a divorce, he convinced me to ship him alot of animals until i was set up in my new home in Florida. In return he sold them from under me. Also you stated in your last post that i keep my animals in a storage shed, "WRONG"!!!! The only person that knew i rented a storage shed, was Mr.Dan Parma. The reason for the shed is... i moved from a 5 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom apartment here. I have NEVER nor will I ever store animals in a storage unit, so that only makes me believe that you are his friends........BUSTED!!!

"LOOOSSSEEEEE you have some essssplainin to doooooo......." LOL

I'm sure everbody is going to have a comment about Sal Tornambene/Upstate Exotics ect...
Everyone knows that i got taken by Ken Yates/Elite Reptiles, for over $8000 woth of animals, and i proved it in all the old threads, but you know what, that was my mistake and was a bad business deal at my loss.
This "friend" of mine Dan Parma, has taken me for a ride. I'm gonna show proof/pics on how this man stole my animals. If anyone has any questions on this, please feel free to contact me by e mail at [email protected], or call me at 561-883-5538 any time and i can provide anyone with any info on this man.

Here is a list of the animals i had shipped to Dan from Nov. to date.

And More!!

The list that I have just posted was of some of the animals that i can think of off the top of my head from november till date.... He claims that ALL of these animals "DIED". Well this is where it gets better... After all of this time i trusted DAN and this is how he paid me back.

Just to let everyone know how I just BUSTED this SCUM BAG!!!

Back on 2/21 I purchased a bunch of animals for sale for myself and Dan had asked me to buy some for him... so "stupid" me for trusting a so called "freind" I did ...I had purshased a mullucan scrub, water monitor and a pair of ball pythons extra just for DAN. I had shipped them to DAN on 2/24 under the understanding that we where going to breed a bunch of snakes and split them 50/50. Well he received all the animals and all is well, he even sends me pics of all the animals i have sent him along with all the other ones i sent to him. Well just a few days ago i happened to be on REPTIBID.COM to see what was selling and here i see that my good old so called "FRIEND" is selling my snakes. There was about 6 hours before the acution was over, so I give him a call about an hour before it had ended and he never said anything to me about nothing.
Next morning i give him a call and play "stupid" and ask him for a list of all the animals that he has there that were mine, he said that he only thing he had was the mollucan, the balls and the retic...hummmm?
I asked him how they were all doing and he said they were all fine and eating like pigs.... I asked him to ship some of them back to me and he got all fussy about that.... I wounder why? Maybe because they have been SOLD???

Here is the proof, remember i just sent him the mollucan on 2/24...

Sal,

Your real name is showing under your login name on your posts, which is sufficient for the name requirement on the BOI.
 
OKAY, FINE SAL, I'LL BITE

:poke2: Okay, this may be poking the bear, but....................
Apparently in one of your earlier threads you insinuated that I posted under false pretenses and I do not appreciate it! In fact, it wasn't even your screen name that started the post so how the hell do you figure that my post had anything to do with you in anyway? Really, I would love to know this. I was posting about the Snakes Den not Sal at Upstate or Boca or whatever you are calling your little scam now. You know what, you sound like a freaking 12 year old little boy. I have been in this business long enough to know that people with your reputation should not try to bash someone else who has supposedly ripped you off. No one is going to believe you after all you have done. And nope, I have never dealt with you personally, but friends of mine have and you majorly ripped them off! And I mean bad! And you haven't repaid or taken care of those old debts have you? And no, they do not know anyone at the Snakes Den either. I mean if someone, really anyone, would rip you off wouldn't it just be payback for all the wrong you have done to others? Come one, even if I wouldn't have seen it first hand I can read like everyone else on here about your little cretinous past. And how are you going to bash someone for the way they keep their reptiles when supposedly, according to another thread, you are the one who kept yours in a storage shed and did not feed them? I have all my juvie colubrids in a big breeder rack system. They are stacked on top of eachother too. Oh, no that's horrible right? I would bet any amount of money that my collection is healthier and more sanitary than anything you have. Even the brand new rescues that I have just taken in. NOW SINCE YOU INSISTED ON DRAGGING MY NAME INTO THIS LITTLE PISSING FEUD THAT I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH, I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ASKED FOR. Attached are my receipts from business dealings with Snakesden.net Some receipts are missing as they were trades and not cash deals. My address is blacked out as that is none of your business and neither is the prices I paid for anything. I think maybe before you start using peoples' names and accusing them of things that you should stop and think about what you are doing before you get yourself into even more trouble. Enjoy the receipts. :eatsmiley

I have dealt with Dan Parma on several occasions. Good Guy in my book! He has purchased several snakes from me recently (50% Het for Albino Ball Python w/papers and a Speckled Kingsnake). I have nothing but good things to say. He sends payment quickly and communicates well. All the users who have left him feedback on Reptibid seem to have nothing but good things to say as well. I look foward to dealing with him in the future.
