    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....

Has anyone heard of Tim Koppenhof?

I'm simply asking for the breeders name. Or at least tell me has any of his Boas ever been sick and died when sold shortly after, or anything that may help. I bought from chaosreptiles in good faith! With promise of breeder!!!

I believe that they have told you that none of the other boas from the same litter have had any problems. Most of the babies were originally bought by a few of the posters on this post, and all have said that they have not had any problems.

As for the shipping.....It sounds perfectly fine to me. As a matter of fact my shipping cups only have 4 holes in them. And yes, I would have no problem shipping a baby boa in a 4" deli cup.

I'm reading...and reading! I'm not getting the name of the person they claim they have who produced my snake.

I don't doubt they can be 100% healthy, but after the mess up i have been through i don't know who to believe, anymore.

I am asking for what many other people are asking in different BOI threads, names of breeders, or papers. AS i was promised, the breeders name, not a fake!

For the love of god already....This is sad.
To be honest, I wouldn't give you his name without permission. You didn't purchase from him. Asking for feed records at the time of purchase is a good idea. A breeder usually has the information available if it is their snake. Asking for papers as the term is normally associated is something different altogether. "Papers" are not given on normal animals. To ask a third party to provide papers on a normal animal seems absurd. You didn't purchase the animal direct from the breeder. Given your instability in this thread I would be reluctant to give you the contact information of any breeder for fear I would be blacklisted for unleashing you on them.

Now, I still have more of a problem than anything else with Tim being named on the bill of sale. The only person that should be concerned with that is Tim himself. I know I would be a little miffed if my name was put on animals I didn't produce. Your consistent persistence to know the name of the breeder makes no sense with the information coming from several sources that the rest of the litter is doing fine. Your persistence on the name is getting you nowhere.

You stated multiple times you didn't purchase this snake, then multiple times you have stated that the snake was a gift and purchased for you. You have stated that this very account was hijacked on Fauna to make other posts. That person also signed your name to the posts. I’m sorry, but you do come off like you’re a little unbalanced.

You have made accusations about the health of the snake. You have stated you took the snake to the Vet. Very simple to prove but you will not. The reason why you will not (as you state) is that you will not subject the Vet to the questioning of the seller. You expect them to subject the breeder to you. It makes no sense. You are accusing the seller of selling a sick snake. Well, you where yesterday. Today, it seems you are not now that you have been pressed for the Vet information. You expect anyone to subject another person to this? Crazy…

You do have very good points. I as well asked for feed records. I did not get a last feed on the papers either. Or a first feed, only what the snake is feeding on at the time.

As far as records for a normal, i have them from purchases here, sure.

And Sydney Dans gf, i wanted to speak to today when Dan said he does not ship in deli cups. I wanted to ask her some info. about it.

I'm far from crazy (well define crazy) but, i am upset. I had not recieved what was promised. So i end up here like a fool asking for a Tim whatever on my papers for the snake. The reason was to take it off the board and ask about the snake i bought that he produced. It was not acting right. I had to make a quick decision.

And to see if maybe others could shed light about the said person on my papers. If he's good or not to deal with him.

Yes my posts are redundant at this point, i'm tired of doing this. I really don't even need to have the name of the person who produced my snake, i guess i just want to know if anyone else could shed light about him. Not their litter of snakes from him.

I was cursed at today on my phone by Dan until i hung up.

This was a transaction in my opinion that did go bad.

We purchase animals and ask for paper work (and i was aware, because i told my roomate if this is a present to me i need records) It's how i always done business. I was promised papers on this normal. And yes the source where the snake came from as well. That would be the name of the breeder. Why not? I don't see why not if they have it.

The very reason i am here now is to know if this person has a good reputation. I am not happy, would you be. I ended up paying by paypal out of my account, because my roomate only has a cc and did not want to give out the number or whatever he was saying, that's fine. He paid me for this baby Boa. It's a cute snake. I take pride in all my snakes (animals) they are my passion as i am off work at this time to spend time with them more.

The baby Boa seems better but i am no expert but have a keen eye imho.
Dan told me to take him out and hold him today..?? He laughed when i said no it will stress him. I mean i am getting no support here.

From being called a lunatic to other names here all i wanted was a name that produced my animal, because step one was wrong and not corrected. Papers i should not have recieved.

This wont be resolved. I need to bow out i guess and let this thread go.

The more i ask, the more i get called names, and i am not one who usually says please to people who are rude to me.

If people wont sell to me here fine. I am a good snake owner. I got desperate in many of my threads if you go back and read, only for answers.

I don't care to hear (but that's great news) how all the others babies are doing. I can't believe some of the people enough i guess who i have business relations with to believe it maybe who knows.

One person says they do it this way and the other says it was done that way with my sale.

As for Vet. info. Dan calls today and is very loud demanding a phone number or name. I told him, the Vet. will ask who he is and not release info. to him, he's not the owner. I offered to snail mail it.

He wanted this all off the board. Okay. So do i KNOW i really do. Him, he has a reputation to keep, me i'm just a lunatic who is upset because she got wrong info. and know no info. because of the way i acted. Ha, strange when you read the many messages posted by others here as well.

I'm frustrated. I'm upset. I don't have money to toss around after a deal goes bad (yes not the proper papers as promised) The more i talked to Dan today the more i learned about my sale. That's why new info. is here now.

I'm in Fl. it's damn hot here. That box was very hot. not warm but it was hot. It had no cool packs on at least two sides.
The animal as i told another breeder drank alot, and was letting out. Seemed a tad heated. They cool down. He seemed to, i watched him.

I am sorry if any messages come across as rude. I know they can.

Again i feel ripped off of what was promised. And i as well have a very huge problem with getting papers with Tims name and my name.

Take the message for what it is.

I will do my best with the snake i purchased. I will fight to keep it alive, every animal is worth that much.

Don't revert back to the other messages. I have frustration and anger. It's normal.

So far you've done nothing but lie, so i'm pretty positive you're lying about him swearing at you. He's been nothing but proffesional the entire time dealing with you, as others have noticed, so i doubt he'd change now. As far as packaging, several reputable people have told you my packaging was fine, but you refuse to believe anything if it isn't in your favor. even if i was home, i wouldn't talk to you.
You have no proof of anything, except of your mental instability.

What do you mean by this? Did it have a cool pack or not? Did you expect the inside to be surrounded by cool packs?

The animal was shipped to FL in the middle of the summer and arrived alive. What else do you want?

I don't think the transaction was perfect. If the seller didn't have the info you wanted he should have said so, and you should have went elsewhere. I'm not even sure if, or how, you asked for the background info. No emails of the transaction were posted in the original post. It would be nice to see if you stressed the importance of it, and how he responded.
 
Why won't you post the vet report????? People keep asking and you never give an answer. Post it, it may give some substance to your claim. The longer you wait to post it the more it looks like you made it up.
Dennis Cook
 
wow! what a long thread. what to say? first, the vet report, a reciept, some kind of proof would be essential here in my mind. absolute proof that a live animal was presented and treated would go a long way towards establishing credibility towards the actual health problem. the OP is tossing around parasites, flukes, shipping, IBD. too many possibilities for this animal to have been to a (qualified) vet. i am not saying anyone is speaking untruths, i do think that the vet report would clear up alot tho.
also, to some people these things are pets, family members, friends (with scales). so i can see that the instinctual reaction to a sick pet, friend etc is to blame someone else. totally natural, not always right tho. i think the OP may be trying to find some fault on anyone elses part to justify why thier pet is sick. this behavior will not cure the snake however. SO since the OP has already stated she wants nothing, and feels she is entitled to nothing why dont we (or rather YOU ALL as you guys are probably much better with boas than me, i am a python guy) try to put our melons together, get the REAL symptoms to an exact detail and see if you guys with all your knowledge can help her fix this little guy? kind of idealistic, may or may not work but if this little guy is alive, it would be nice to see him stay that way, especially since the OP has repeatedly stated she wants nothing, there is nothing else to solve. hope this makes sense.
on a side note, i go to the cleveland show pretty regularly, and i have a few people added to my dont buy from list. gary o especially. he did more to kiss up to his buddies and derail this thread (one in which he should have had very little part in) than any other poster here. way to go, gary o!
 
chester a. cobblepot

I suppose there's some slim chance that's actually your name... but given that it's the name of two movie characters and you wandered onto Fauna to make your first post insulting someone's physical appearance, I kind of doubt it.

So... Chester Cobblepot the treasure hunter who's body was found by the Goonies... or Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot... the Penguin?
 
Tiger Striped Ego said:
heh... either suits me fine.... but i had the Goonies in mind.

i know how it looks.... i suddenly appear and start off by insulting this insane woman.... i made an account because her slander pissed me off. ive seen what shes like on Myspace.... i assure you this whole thing is her trying to mess with Dan's business.


If you have relevant, truthful, information, why would you not use your real name? You can't expect to have any credibility here if you start out as an enigma.

So, please, post under your real name, and if you can show that Pamela is doing this to Dan because of something on MySpace, please do so.

Screen shots would be good.
 
I can back Dan up......... and if none of you like it, who gives a rats hairy little ass?
This woman i have talked to over the phone, as she was wanting to talk phone sex, and just is plain old weird.
she freaked me out enough (PAMELA) to not have EVER called her back nor talked to her again.....
i can say that she was on pain meds, what not...
she's even told me about all the percocet she was taking. i have the e:mails...
Dan is a good friend, and i would do business with him ANYDAY.... She's just mad that she doesn't have the money to buy that rock she's wanting to suck down...
sorry if i get my hand spanked for posting this, but this lady is flat out NUTZ...
Don't let this woman come here and ruin a good man's business with here incoherant babble...... Dan is imfamous for his mispelling, it's why this MYSPACE gang loves the little fella...
he may have made a mistake, but i bet my rep. he didn't do it intentionally.

now that is the kind of post I would want supporting MY side of things :ack2:
 
sorry if some people can't handle the truth and are so uptight they walk around on egg shells trying to be politically correct... i myself do not sir...
many bigger breeders will attest to the way i conduct my business ventures... i wouldn't have sold blood boas to EBN as an unknown if not and them have been happy with the purchase/trade...
if any of you had an inkling of a clue about this woman, you'd light a fire under her, and run her flat out of here...
sorry you don't like the way friends/business associates back their friends, but i am not one of your customers......
i spend alot of money on my collection and MANY of my friends can attest to the way i keep my animals.
this woman is just trying to fling mud at someone that is reputable. go ahead MR. Moore and sell to this woman some time in the future, and i can almost give you a written guarantee that she will be on here bashing your good name too...
There are MANY of us that are sick of her problematic attitude.
I've had many more problems than this and unless it is something pertanent i will not come on here and bash someone for a simple error in paperwork.
She is grasping at straws, and isn't getting anywhere.....
if you can't tell that she's a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket then i feel for ya buddy...

There is a difference between "handling the truth" and common courtesy. You can still come on here and support your friend and get your point across without coming off as a jackass. I believe that is the point Harald was trying to make.

So I take it Thomas that is was you posting as chester. Just what they need is friends like you posting here for them, you know the old say- With friends like you ETC ETC.

Any reasonable person reading this thread would likely come to the conclusion that Pam is a few cards short. I don't see the need for another crack pot trying to point that out.. Randy

sorry you don't like the way friends/business associates back their friends, but i am not one of your customers......
I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. I have no problems with friends/associate's backing somebody...but if anyone were to come here in my defense, I would hope they could present themselves more professionally. If they couldn't, I would prefer that they stay silent, as I don't need THAT kind of help.

does it say i live in georgia?
haha...
and yes, i have reason to be jackass. this woman got asshurt on myspace and it's funny........
check my IP addy, i'm not chester, but i know who he is, and he too is a good friend/guy... however i would not have taken that approach as you can see, i do use my full name, and won't apologize to any single one of you, i understand why he thought it to be a good idea.
I talked to her a good bit after she got the boa from dan, and she was exstatic about it, but i could tell the woman had a few screws loose......
why is everyone on this site so uptight?
call a spade a spade.....
for God sakes it seems is if you are all trying to appease the masses by being so poltically correct with diction. once again this is the internet.......
and yes, i'm a crackpot... you people are a riot sometimes...... and this is the reason none of you garner business... at least not from this end...
i don't spend cash on $10 baby balls. just remember the ones of us you feel the need to attack unknowingly with good names, and reputations are also the ones of us that will never spend a penny with you...
