High End Herps (Inquiry)

[HerpVenue]

Nice bust, Ritchie. We should have noticed it when he posted that photo of a battered (did anyone else notice all of the bruises?) and wigged tawni.

actually he made the FAKE big cage shortly after everyone started giving him grief for this picture

 

[Serafim]

That picture still makes me cringe. How the heck do you get a burm that fat. Looks excessive and worse yet painful and cruel..

 

[HerpVenue]

But below is still my favorite picture.
It shows his truck making its way from California to Louisiana at the exact same time Damon was also making his way in that general direction.

And what was his excuse? He says he was helping out a friend by buying his friends truck.

He can't even buy his wife a nice looking wig. But he is willing to spend all that money to help out a friend.

 

[varnyard]

Man, that cage is roomy, I wonder if Damon's coffin would have as much stretching room. Looks like a hell of a scumbag to keep an animal in such a home, him being the worlds largest breeder of reptiles, you would think he would have better/larger housing.

 

[crotalusadamanteus]

Worlds largest breeder, and he can't even purchase polyurethane to seal the wood from molds, and other such nasties that may inhabit the wood from all the poop that's been left in them.

Attention Richie Luna and Herp Shoppers.........

I was just thumbing thru my March 08 Reptiles Magazine......Guess who has
a 1/4 page Ad and a smaller in the back classifieds section?????????
Three guesses and the first two don't count......HaHaHa....Richie Sic.... No disrespect intended

 

[HerpVenue]

Number one
Well his website still says "Voted 'THE MOST INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL REPTILE BASED WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET', "

Which we know is NOT a lie if at least one person voted that. (himself).

Number two
The add says everything is CBB in his place. which we know is a lie because he buys stuff from others and sells them. He also supposedly takes in hundreds of other animals weekly.

Number three
His website still says he is an INC
which we know he is NOT

Number four.
Hypomelanistic / paradox albino ?
Doesn't everyone know that an albino is hypomelanistic?
Is he just making it sound special?
perhaps he made a mistake. perhaps he really wanted to say HYPERmelanistic paradox albino. In other words a normal. Because what I see in the picture looks like a normal to me. And all the pictures on his "retic morphs" page only shows albinos and normals


I once had a hypomelanistic white light colored achromatic, achromic, alabaster, ashen, blanched, bleached, chalky, ivory, light, milky, neutral, pallid, pasty, pearly, pure, silver, silvery, snowy, spotless, stainless, unblemished, unsullied, wan, waxen dog.

I also had two hypermelanistic black, atramentous, brunet, charcoal, clouded, coal, dingy, dusky, ebon, ebony, inklike, jet, livid, melanoid, murky, nigrescent, nigrous, obsidian, onyx, piceous, pitch, pitch-dark, raven, sable, shadowy, slate, somber, sombre, sooty, starless, swart, swarthy dogs.


Number five
Instead of spending all that money on an advertisment to try and get some dumb schmuck somewhere who only gets magazines and does not know the BOI and noes not know how NOT to get cheated.

Perhaps he should spend that money on getting incorporated.
Or maybe get a new wig for tawny
or maybe spend that money to go ahead and get her name legally changed to tawni or tawny
or maybe spend that money to get his name changed to david beauchemin or david bauchemin. It sounds better than brian smith or damon heynen
or maybe spend the money to get someone to pick up any dead pigs that may be on his farm.
or maybe spend the money to get himself a "REAL" place.
or maybe spend the money on getting the "several facilities" he convinced some people that he had.
or maybe spend the money on another place, so he does not have to put his breeders, their babies, the animals he takes in weekly, and his quarantine animals, on in the same room

Damon does not like bob
david does not like bob

Damon does not like Doc
david does not like doc

Damon is from California last seen headed south.
David is in the south but has a white for dually that made a trip to the south from california.
Damon coincidentally has the exact same white ford dually
and their trips coiincidentally where around the same time frame

David's website is hosted by the same people who bought damon's place.

Damon has pretended to be a real business
david is pretending to be a real business

damon liked to brag about how big a breeder he was
David likes to do the same

damon used to pretend that we did not affect his business (but he closed up shop and Ran away)
David is pretending his "business" or lack thereof is not affected.

I am sure that david would like to run away like damon did. however he just recently aqcuired his place (coincidentally the same time frame damon left cali) and is kinda tapped out at the moment. then again, he may have done some business with some dumb schmucks who do not know who they are dealing with.

And I haven't lost, nor will I. You see, the only way I can lose is if
>someone comes through my window while I'm asleep and murders me. Otherwise
>I am very much alive and getting stronger and paybacks are way cool.

You lost when you changed your name from Damon heynen to brian smith and then back to damon heynen

You lost again when you changed your name from damon heynen to david beauchemin.

You lost even more when you got yourself a co conspiritor (tawny beauchemin) and you still could not hide your new identity.

 

[reagorfu]

does anyone live in Louisiana? or even know anyone that they could go there to check them and their place out? i would love to see some pictures of what is really going on there.

 

[ravensgait]

That has been asked before, heck those who really want to see photos ETC should all chip in and hire a PI for a day to get what ya need... Randy

 

[Wraith]

maybe someone with a way of words could email the magazine and let them know they are helping to support a scammer/illegal business..maybe give them the link to this thread. I bet they would find that information interesting.

 

[Tim Cole]

I would

be surprised if they cared. They run ads for people selling eyeless turtles and such crap.

 

[Keith Northrop]

Looking for rare No eyed Turtle?

I thought for sure....No one else saw that add.....HaHa......Nothing gets by Tim....I went to the site and sure enough No eyed turtles.....$50 Bucks.....

Ah, the ad from turtlesale.com...this was the reason I didn't renew my subscription to Reptiles Magazine...

Who is the person behind Turtlesale.com? Siunds like a real animal lover

 

[Suncoast Herpetological]

Oops that should say sounds

 

[The BoidSmith]

...this was the reason I didn't renew my subscription to Reptiles Magazine...

Oddly enough I didn't renew mine either. My reasons were different though. Several of the articles of the species I was interested in were more "infomercials" than any other thing. Yes, I agree people working on one species or mutation should share their experience but the commercial side of it was getting annoying.

Regards.

 

[Dennis Hultman]

Who is the person behind Turtlesale.com? Sounds like a real animal lover

There are a couple more threads somewhere but here's a few.

I believe, I posted who they are in one of these.
