    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....
I thought that someone in this thread already tried that and discovered the money was more important.
I do find the fact that they and other bad guys can find enough noobs to sell to an interesting indicator of growth in the hobby though.
 
It Got Me Wondering...

Since damon 'the weasel' heynen was advertising in the aforementioned magazine..who else might be in their as well? A quick perusal of the classifieds was kind of surprising: it showed alot of well-known breeders and no other noted scammers/bad guys (at least that I could see).

Then again, there were alot of names that I had never heard of. More aliases, perhaps?

Sincerely,

Gino Beniquez
 
I wish I had a buck for every time I've seen an ad on KS that had something I wanted then when I checked the seller out here they had to many bad guy threads for my comfort. Someone is keeping those guys in business.

do you think that the little pet shops have anything to do with it? most don't know that much about the few reptiles that they sell, at least around here.

I see that noted scammer/liar damon heynen is once again advertising in 'Reptiles' magazine. Do you think that if the magazine were tipped-off as to who david beauchemin really is, they would continue to let him post his ads? Or is money more important to them than cleaning-up the hobby/industry.

ps-what is a 'cateater' anyways?

My boyfriend said he thinks that a cateater is an african rock and a retic together.

Hello, I'm new. Yes, I read everything. I do not breed, all our rep's are rescues or adoptions from people who thought they'd never grow bigger than the show box they brought them home in. I usually deal with the mammal groups, but a herp friend who should have been born a snake, lol, told me about this place, and how much info and fun was here. Great site, and good info. My only questions is, I read this whole thing, and I know there are a lot of coincidences, I agree, but, no one really was able give really hard core proof. I say this from an unbiased point of view, and also from the point of what if someone was pissed at me, all they have to say is a few lines, and thats it, its all over. It bothers me because, it seems that sometimes the snowball turns into a giant crap ball, and people start being cruel and derogatory, the whole thing just becomes a disgusting and gross story, (especially when the rode hard put away wet comment was made) I thought kids could come here and learn some stuff, my son is a future repti-freak, he loves to look at all you guy's pictures and info, he thinks some of you are better than spiderman. I don't know who these people are, but I just hate how nowadays, everything is meant to destroy people, especially if they don't pop up and say oh, here ya go, I have to prove it before there's even a problem. Questioning is one thing, but why does it seem like you have to never speak now, for fear of some jump up your bum because you made them upset, or didn't do what they told you to do. After reading everything, and hearing what people say, I don't think I would post anything, and its scary that people have no problem posting all this private and personal info about people just because of what they think. Today's day, you never know what kind of weird stuff someone might do with the info they find on the net. It sucks you can't just have a good argument anymore without someone taking it way to far. That's it, just hate that even on this site, people seem the same.
 
Thank ya Grinch, lol. I hate being rude, plus, if I can't write my name until everyone knows who I am, I shouldn't post. I like to know who I argue with, lol!!!! As well should you guys be able to get me by name!

What an amazing coincidence that a new account poster would show up here and say that there is a lack of evidence in this thread and that someones good reputation could be ruined by unproven accusations and that on the exact same day High End Herps would start making a new presence on other sites. Oh, the randomness of it all! ;)
 
I guess that does prove a point then. Considering I'm from Boston, Mass, and have never, and will never leave New England, lol. Everyone below Connecticut tends to dislike the Red Sox!!! So sad for them!

I read the first 100 pages the other day and I have to say that without the shadow of a doubt, this smells fishy fishy fishy. So many ?'s were avoided and many times (I forgot his name it was changed so often) he was caught in little lies. Then someone had the audicity to mention that they didn't even no who produced some of their pythons in their collection cuz many of them changed hands a lot (couldn't have been that great if they were willing to sell it many times IMO) and that was a logical excuse, please what kind of breeder or you. Come on now, who actually buys a snake with the intention of breeding and doesn't find out lineage, bloodline, who produced it, etc....... I have to say that Ben Rogers was dooped on in this thread and I have to say that he shed plenty of light on the subject as did the Dr. who posted those tax papers. You caught that? I know 24 coincidences don't make a right but it draws a really really big line all the way back to.........what's his name this year or has it changed again??? Is his colony open or closed this year??? He maintains a big collection but nobody ever heard of the guy. Just like the tootsie pop commercials, the world may never know. Avoidance speaks for itself
 
I agreed, their were a lot of weird crap, and I think it really has nothing to do with the other guy. Maybe this guy does have something to hide, but the whole deep throat thing, is just as weird. Thread started in 2006, and not one person in 2-2.5 years has had problems with this guy, and complained about any major problems. Their website is still there, and they seem to be doing business. Nowadays with the internet at our fingers, you can't escape problems. Do a search over any engine, and you find not one person who is ever had a problem. That's all, nothing has ever been proven, and to this day, we haven't heard of anything going wrong, that's just as coincidental. I agreed with a lot of what was said, but destroying someones business or life is like being charged with murder. You hope they have tons of hard evidence to know your convicting the right person. That's all, it was more of just the suckiness of never knowing if some guys rep was destroyed for nothing.
 
I know if someone asked where I bought one of my snakes from cuz it resembled another with the "exact" same markings. I would gladly tell you where my snake was acquired from. But in reality Lisa, silence is GOLDEN and speaks for itself period. So if he said he runs a closed colony but get snakes shipped in weekly, that is an oxy moron to me and makes you an idiot (not you Lisa) in my book. I would gladly clear my name and set the record straight but if you have something to hide, you can't really do that now can you. This thread is exactly that, diversion ,diversion then silence. How does that look? He is a big time breeder with tons of snakes, been around a long time and has no references to name with their permission, come on. He seems halfway intelligent so I know he can read the ?'s that were asked of him but you can't make up those kinds of answers so back to the part where silence is GOLDEN. Now draw a conclusion from that and you get exactly where I am :thumbsup: take care

it is not a real business for one thing. some might think that is a lie, and them saying they are the biggest breeders is another one for you.

they were mostly unheard of before '06 as you know from reading the thread and they lie about letting people come see their facility. they lie about producing everything they sell too.

it seems to me that is enough right there, but their past as someone else takes the cake.

i think the truck put the nail in the coffin as far as proving he is damon.

anything else you need to know? if you still want to buy from them, good for you. :shrug01:
 
Oh no, no, no boys, I'm not a snake chick, I love them from afar, lol. I can handle garters, thats about it. Give me a Dogo at 200lbs over a ten foot snake any day!! No offense, I freely admit that snake and horses freak this city girl out. I did do rehab with a couple of baby balls, and 10 of another type of constrictor a few years back, I can't turn away the abused. But I was able to feed them reheated pinkies, and after they healed and were eating well, placed the with a few boys and girls that adore them to this day, I get yearly emails and pics send Auntie Lisa love. I agree with you guys on all points made, I have unfortunatly seen, with my warm blooded creature groups, things like this happen, and there have been a few times were some one was covering something up, but when we heard what it was, I felt like an ass, and wish I had waited until there had been photo's or paper showing what we were all so busy running our mouths about. That's all. Just giving the third side of horror stories. I think we have all been down this road with people who screw anything that walks, I'm just more cautious about it. I will also say, this is almost as good as a book. every page just got better and better.


P.S THE RED SOX KICKED ASS TONIGHT!!!!!! Luv My Boys. Ok, I'm done.

Why am I not surprised. Funny how he joins there and Lisa starts posting here about the same time.

Personally, I get the Damon vibe when I read her post, but who knows, and who cares at this point.

Funny, I get that vibe too. I suppose Rich from here and BP.net staff could always put IP addys together and see.
