    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....

Bad Guy Howlin' Gale Dragons

wow it sounds like your over reacting aaron i've gotten dragons from nicole and they were healthy and active and everything was very professional so i think you were just speaking out of anger and not telling the truth!!!!!!!!!!
 
I have purchased many dragons form nicole and never had a problem, what so ever. All her dragons were perfect and healthy in EVERY way. she also has excellent service.

You should have seen in the pic of something that was wrong. She supplied you with the picture, its not her fault you cant read.
 
Wow, when asked why she has no customers posting positive reviews of her on the BOI, this is what she sends? Not people to give full out reviews on how good their transactions with her went, instead more people to be belligerent, immature and accusing just like her? F'ing ridiculous. She really does not get what real customer service is, that is glaringly obvious.
 
I appreciate it Brice & Dominic I'm glad they are doing so great :) Make sure to send an updated picture some time :-D

You guys asked me if some of my customers would come post I let them know where the thread was and they posted I hope this helps you realize I am serious about this being the first issue I have had
 
Critical Bill the only reason I hit you with bad karma is you kinda of turned the ad into a argument thread I hate that :( I had to delete it because it was heavily spammed. But yes age opinions on breeding varry with each male I let them decide though I I'd never breed younger then 8 months for the saftey and health of the dragon :) If you want some info on how I chose breeding age and that drop me a PM I'd be happy to let you know my views just remeber mine may be very different from another breeders.
 
nicole, i never ever said you don't love or do everything possible to make them happy/comfortable. i totally understand your feel of them as your kids, as we also feel that here. my reason for coming here with this is about your communication with clients. my apologies for making you feel attacked but i was attacked by you in january & found it uncalled for. there was never an attempt to state that you don't love or breed amazing animals.
i was upset by the message you sent me that day.i started to form an opinion of you from that conversation.i decided that it was something i didn't want to be involved with if this was what communicating was going to be. then i started to see things that pushed more in a direction that i was surprised by.ex. you had started selling some of your breeders that you had said you'd never part with,i then found the REPTAID thing & saw how much you were happy with it,almost endorsing it... i actually ordered it,unfortunately it was prior to finding out it was in trial phase.i have never even opened it, its still closed. as soon as i found out (the day it shipped out) that it was a trial,i immediately started to do some research. as soon as i saw it was toxic to us i was terrified to think of giving it to my kids. if im going to be a part of a clinical trial with my animals that they should tell you about it.
now ,seeing you selling your beardies that you had told me you wouldn't part with, & seeing the postings that you were giving this to your children, my thoughts were i wonder if this has anything to do with that? might be a stretch,might not.
so you see according to how you came @ me with this whole message, it had pushed me to look @ you in not good terms,which was anything further from the truth prior. & the way things were seeming to me from then on the formed opinion i had got worse.
my point is the way you messaged me without concern or interest of researching what was being said made me change my way of thinking about you since. my apologies once again i never said you didn't care.
like i said i am not a newbie nicole & if your honest you know deep inside that i never said that i use sand.
 
wow critical...you ask a question about the description of an animal she's selling & you get karma points for asking a question?
not a great way to treat a potential customer. wow

he didnt notice it till the dragon got there then he zoomed in on the picture of the dragon that nicole sent him thats how he noticed that the nip in the picture and she never told him about a nip
 
nicole i thought you said you "never" had a problem? this is straight out of the message i had already posted before in case anybody didn't see this part...
Shlages917 (1:54:04 PM): started a inquiry on river city reps & still cant get thru that looooong ass link that was kindly supplied
Shlages917 (1:54:18 PM): about 1/2 way
Shlages917 (1:54:25 PM): its crazy
Shlages917 (1:54:31 PM): anyway
fordgalaxy500 (1:54:43 PM): oh yeah they screwed me good
fordgalaxy500 (1:54:48 PM): sent em a dragon it died
Shlages917 (1:54:59 PM): allegedly
fordgalaxy500 (1:55:11 PM): not allegedly its fully proven
Shlages917 (1:55:19 PM): they are why people cant be trusted in this biz
Shlages917 (1:55:34 PM): sorry 2 hear
fordgalaxy500 (1:55:36 PM): I have all the vet reports all the ppl on that replies got it emailed them to them because for a while my pc wouldnt let me post
 
She's "never" had a lot of things happen. Like never having any dragons end up with a nip, but then later stating she sold one with half a tail missing. Never changing her tos/policies since the day she put up her site, which was proven through the google cached page which she claims not to understand that as of less than a month ago the part that supports her case here didn't exist, and the spelling error she claimed to be the only thing she's ever changed actually never existed. Never having any unsatisfied customers, which has also been disproven.

I'm sorry but I'm just not interested in any info you have to offer me any longer. You had a chance to make a good first impression on me and you blew it. There are just so many good breeders around that would afford me the time and patience, unlike what I received from you.

Good Luck to you if you plan on doing this full time.....you're gonna need all the luck you can get.
 
Hey Shlages ... we get the point. Thanks for your input; it does shed a bit of light. However, your nitpicking back and forth with Nicole like a couple of little kids isn't really helping you or resolving anything. Since you've only posted the one IM, it's best to leave third parties out.

I see Nicole has two "customers" posting their happy endings. I also see they've never posted here before so were probably encouraged by Nicole to post. Great testimony.

I see Chuck (awesome, man!) busted Nicole on her breeding ethics (I have dragons too, chameleons and other lizards ... never ever would I think of breeding an 8-month old anything!) And to hit Chuck with negative karma for that? Wow .. talk about childish.

I see Nicole claims her friend is responsible for her website building ... you need another friend to do that for you Nicole, because the spelling on your site(s) is as horrendous as your spelling in your posts and emails. At least learn to proofread, hon ... or use a dictionary.

And if you can't understand what "cached" means in terms of search engines crawling the web and retaining older versions of web pages (like your TOS page, for instance) how can you possibly understand genetics?

Okay, Nicole said she sent Aaron $25.00. That's a step in the right direction, but too little too late, IMO. Too bad the damage is already done.
 
Luck? Don't need it I breed great dragons and they sell because people know I have top quality animals and good customer service this one incident no offence is but a small cloud in my sun.

I am done with the Mud Slinging I've righted a wrong and have nothing further to say or prove to any of you I run a good clean business with some of most beautiful dragons I have worked with some great breeders and they continue to come to me for dragons because they know they can trust me.

I am not interested in anymore immature mud slinging and am through with this thread if anyone has non accusing and professional questions your more than welcome to Private Message or email me, have a good day everyone and happy herping :)
 
well thanks all for reading my nitpicking...lol anyway there was nothing to resolve for me.just wanted to put this out there so people would know about my experience with her,as it pertained to her(@ the time fresh) BOI thread on character/manner of handling customers.. its not nitpicking imo to try to get the truth out.
 
Here's a professional question for you Nicole...

How many people have you sold possible hets to while representing them as simply heterozygous for the indicated trait?

If the answer is any... and it seems like it's probably some given your advertising of possible hets as direct hets... how do you plan on correcting your misunderstanding of what the terms meant with your customers and compensating those folks for the differences in value relative to what they paid for?

I don't think so.
After your buyer had to come here in order to validate his feelings and spent all sorts of time trying to make you understand what his issues were, and after you spit on the BOI, and after all sorts of incongruities were brought out, and after you confessed to breeding child dragons, you sent twenty five measly bucks and expect that will take care of it all.
I don't think so.

Here is the best way I can explain caching even though I believe you know what it is.
A cached page is a SAVED SNAPSHOT OF WHATEVER WAS ON SAID PAGE AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME. It remains for a very long time on the web so it can be accessed later.

Here is a couple definitions or use of the word-
"A cache is a block of memory for temporary storage of data likely to be used again. The CPU and hard drive frequently use a cache, as do web browsers and web servers."-Wiki
Also from a dictionary site-"When data is read from, or written to, main memory a copy is also saved in the cache, along with the associated main memory address."
 
And just think, none of this would have ever been brought up if this was taken care of immediately, or during Nicole's first response to this thread.
