    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....

Yeah, his BBB record (with only 5 complaints since 2005) is SO proof that he's not out to rip anyone off.

I'm sure Chris is looking at his BBB record in a different way than we are. When only 5 potheads out of the 15,000 customers a year you serviced since being in business have something bad to say....it probably seems like nothing and something to be proud of.

Lol...this thread is too funny at times. His BBB record shows he has 99.997% customer satisfaction, and that he has responded to all complaints "satisfactorily". THAT is your smoking gun? I don't know (or care) if he's legit or not, but it's posts like these that leave people with the impression that the BOI is a joke at times. At least the dromedy is entertaining.
 
5 complaints out of 15,000 sales IS a remarkably good record.

It's a damn shame that we can't trust the number 15,000 to be acurate. It could well be 15 or 150.

That's the problem with being a known liar. How can anyone ever believe anything you tell them?

I am not impressed by "satisfactorily", even a little bit. I think of all the times in my life when a product, or service has been dissapointing. So many times I have walked away from a business shaking my head. You know how many times I have filed a complaint with the better business bureau? Not once! In order for it to get that far , I would think it would take a lot of bad stuff to lead upto it. How long did it take to get a satisfactory response? What is a satisfactory response?If I got all of my money back on a terrible deal I would be satisfied, but I sure wouldn't be satisfied with what it took to get to that point, especially if I had to go the BBB route to get it.
 
This thread is sooo done! BBB obtaining to a business that has no relevance to this is way off topic IMO. I say let it sit. If anyone comes up with new information then post, otherwise I think the bases have been covered and peoples opinions and personal values should not effect the original intention of this thread.

I think that any information whether it happens to deal with your trade proposition or not is more than welcome here. I don't care if it has to do with his current endeaver, his old businesses or if someone comes on here and says they went to kindergarten with Chris, and remembers him cutting Little Mary Smiths hair with safety scissors. Anything that speaks to the character of this fellow works.
There may be people that still think it may be ok to deal with him, and seeing one more piece of something, no matter how significant may make them think about it a bit more.
I don't know Chris, and I hope he has turned things around. I hope he does well in fact.However, if there is something else that can be added either for , or against him, I say add it.
Maybe Chris could have his old cubscout leader come on here and talk about all of the merrit badges Chris earned, that would be good. However, if he said Chris never earned any, but had a whole bunch of them on his vest that looked home made, it may say something different.
 
haha. I agree this isn't just about me anymore that's completely obvious. I posted above anyone with new information...not just people bringing up info from page 10 that has been beaten to death over and over. Plus I think we all know he got a badge in entrepreneurship when he was 12...dah!

OK, I gotta ask. After reading post #526, it kind of made me think maybe you might have had a change of heart. Were you desperate enough for those females that you actually decided to go ahead with the trade? If so, how is that going?
 
My change of heart is more like I feel he was missinformed on the WC gravids and I think he was trying to start a legitimate business. I still don't know how I feel about the whole het scheme, if there was one and if ther was it is no longer a threat I believe. And no, I did not make the trade. I'm not desperate for them, I just to make sure I have het albino females ready to breed in fall of '09. And as for the misinformation on the website that still pisses me off.

Um....NO. :rolleyes: No "smoking gun" there....Chris brought it up, I poked fun at how ridiculous I thought his "proof" that he was a good guy was his BBB record. Comprehension is the key, sir. ;)

OK, completely ignoring his criminal past (and present with his pot-related business)....he doesn't even LIKE snakes, just wants to make a "fast and hard buck", lied multiple times just on this thread, and you are having a "change of heart"? :eek:
 
full of it

That is an excellent point Joe.

Tony

The BOI requires that your FULL name be attached to each post. You can amend your profile to do it automatically or you can do it manually on each post but you need to do it. I can't believe that this thread has reached this length and no one has tagged you for this.
 
oops...I looked at a few of his original posts. He has apparently been adding it manually on a hit or miss basis for the last several pages
 
agree

Yea i see it on some of them now :thumbsup: .
 
My change of heart isn't really that. I feel bad he was missinformed about the WC's. I'm pissed about the website crap, due to his past I don't think I could trust him in buying hets, and yes "a hard fast buck" doesn't sit well with me either. I want to buy animals from someone that is honest and loves them too. And I think I missed a couple of posts in the beginning about putting my name on there, I have since been putting it on there manually after every post.

Good old Rare Pythons is back up and running and still taking pre-orders for their 1500+ 2008 ball pythons!

Geeze.. claims to have 1,500+ eggs of "regular" balls that will be hatching in April. And since when are albinos considered to be "rare".

"However, in terms of ball python morphs our prices are very low."

I'd like to know what is so special about the $12,000 bumblebees he supposedly has.. are they like gold plated or something compared to the less expensive ($1k) individuals ? And the $10,000 pieds?

"How Many Offspring Do You Produce Annually?
It depends on the season but roughly 1,000-2,000 babies per year."

If I remember rightly they only just started this business up at the end of last year and haven't produced a damn thing as of yet (beyond their own claim of 200 wild caught imports supposedly laying large perfect clutches of eggs for them), how can they hold a straight face when making the above claim.
