    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 I GOT SCAMMED!!! By Randy Gilkerson (lilroc338) of Gilroc Reptiles!!! BEWARE!!

Im so sorry to hear about this :( have you considered considered contacting the FBI about fraus, they have a website where you can report internet scammers and frauds. also contact your local police, they may be able to answer some questions for you and give you some guidelines on how to possibly reslove this. hope you get your beautiful snake back, sorry again :(
 
Someone needs to find out if he's out on probation, and if so tell them what he did and see if he can be arrested for it.
 
i cant believe this guy hes texting me telling me im a liar and he doesnt owe me money when he does and still wants to argue that the male black pastel is not them one he got from me that toke him 2 weeks to pay for when ive got the pics to show which animal i sent him he thinks everybody is stupid and you can change a snakes pattern over night or that 2 snakes have the same pattern and weight ive got everything documented and so does tom crutchfield who i got the animals from. his animals were all sick about a month ago and he called me asking me how to take care of them because he didnt know what he was doing he didnt even know how to ship till i told him how too. he such an idiot when it comes to snakes just like a week after he got the male black pastel he calls me asking if i was sure it was a male he couldnt get it to pop that says it all he doesnt know what hes doing

Wow looks like it....but here's a pic of my bee so you can be the judge:
(we could start a new game series on fauna called "Name that snake!" We can post pics of snakes Randy is selling and try to see who's snake it really is, haha! :rofl:



Hard to tell with bee markings, and his pics aren't great but the neck markings right behind the head look right on and he has a little stripe ontop of his head directly at the back.

Guess he got that URI cleared up pretty quick :rolleyes:

I hope someone awesome gets him....he's a great snake. :yesnod: FYI if anyone wants a nice bumble bee go get him....I have all his tracking info on iHerp that I can send you. He does NOT have a URI and he WAS mite free when he left my house. He's a good boy, great eater, eats f/t or live, very sweet. :thumbsup: He deserves a better home than that :censored:Randy.


MAN that guy gets my blood boiling. :angry:
 
It definatley is if you look at the pic with the snake upsidedown like someone else said you can see the stripe on the head hen look a few inches back from that theres a spot where a few scales are black. Its the same animal.
 
Gosh I can't even tell you how many people have emailed me asking if I still have the bee up for trade. I am going to email them back and let them know Randy's advertising him...maybe they can contact him and get a good deal on him and get him the heck out of there.

I wonder if he's even feeding him, the black pastel I got from him was starvin marvin....makes me wonder if Randy fed him at all the month he had him after he got him from Frank.:shrug01:


Thanks for those of you who have contacted me letting me know about the CL ad. I really appreciate it and am grateful that you all have kept this in the back of your minds....I was afraid people would forget about this and let it go. Randy isn't about to give this up....we all need to keep ontop of his sorry butt to make sure he doesn't scam anyone else.
 
I wish you could get your baby back. :( think someone could maybe help you get him?
Maybe your proof and pics would be enough to prove he's yours and Randy stole him.....

I don't personally need to get him back, I just want to know someone else has him other than Randy. I traded him to get a big female (because I need female morphs, I already had too many males) and the fact he sent me a freaking male totally defeated the purpose of trading at all. And the fact that he lied to me and I don't think he's a responsible caring owner makes me want that bee to go to ANYONE else but him. :(

I'm sure someone will come up with a creative idea to get the bee...he's a nice bee....people should be motivated knowing Randy only technically paid $200 bucks for him (that's what the snake he sent me is worth!) so if I needed a male bee, I'd be all over that idea.
 
Yeah, that's sad. But I don't think he should get the 4 snakes he is asking for...sure as heck make HIM ship first. :( Guess he's trying to unload the evidence as quick as he can. :(
 
Sorry I had not entire thread. I know now that you do not need another male bumblebee. I am truly sorry this happened and hope Randy gets everything that is coming to him. The mugshot picture, in my opinion, is definitely him. If you look at the eyes(distance between them),nose, and jaw, this is Randy without his head shaven. Did you see some of the felonies this guy has been convicted of? There is nothing that can be done in regards to a parole or probation violation unless he is charged and convicted of some sort of offense here. It's just a shame there are sociopaths out there that prey on other peoples trust and kindness.
 
He has a couple of new names

Just to let you guys know, we caught Mr. Randy Gilkerson using two Facebook accounts on our Oklahoma Reptiles Facebook groups. One was "BuckeyeCity ExoticMorphs". The other was "Gilroc Reptiles". I personally also happen to know of a third one that he uses. I'm waiting for him to hang himself with that one right now.
