They told me

It was Eligha Collins as stated to someone before.

For sure. They probably are the same person with made up names.

 

[Scochoman]

Yeah, but the ad was the same around the same time. I'd say typo, Eligha, Aligha. Either way there are many similarities in the dealings.

Dumba$$'s are still feeding 5 month old P. regius....

PINKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So freaking pathetic. They are most definently in the top 3 biggest (censored) on the classifieds. It'd be so nice to have them rear their ugly head here. Just once.

Here is the correspondence that I had with John/Jon. I saw his ad on KS for an adult pair of Childrens Pythons and was quite interested. I made an offer of 150.00 shipped, which is a decent deal for healthy adults. I then decided to run a check on his name on the BOI, because I thought I remembered some traffic about him. I came across this thread. Well I changed my mind. He accepts no responsibility for using pictures that do not belong to him. Here are the emails...

Jon,
I was looking for an adult pair of Children's Pythons and when I came
across your Ad I thought PERFECT! especially when you accepted my offer for
150.00 shipped for an adult pair!
There is a useful tool that has been forged by folks that are concerned with
the ethics of the reptile community and I think it has once again served its
purpose. I live on a fairly tight budget. I could afford 150.00 for a pair
of snakes but I can't afford to support the unethical business practices
exhibited by your company. I'm sorry but I cannot proceed with this deal
none-the-less. Once again I apologize for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Paul


Bearded pets:
Hi, no problem. That forum is kind of full of <font color=red>[**censored**]</font> though. As far as what it says about my bussiness ethics and all. They continue to say I sell fake hets, and WC as CB. But in reality that is not the truth. As far as using some one elses photo in the beginng, that I did but the pic was not copyrighted and in such I am aloud to use it without violating any laws. I also asked to use peoples photos and they agreed to let me. The only reason why I keep pushing you to purchase is that I want to show people that have seen that forum, that what they are saying is incorrect. If you do not want to purchase then I will have nothing against you, I understand your untrust after the things that they said on that forum. I also understand you not wanting to be stuck with any problems. Though in the almost impossible chance you want to purchase I can assure you like all my animals, that they are very healthy. I feed them once a week with large mice. I hand feed both of them but you can also leave the mouse in the cage. I just like to hand feed as I know that both of them have eaten not just one of them. They are feeding on F/T. I just fed them today and there are no health problems what so ever. If you decided to purchase, I would gurantee health. If your not satisfied you can send them back to me on my shipping account and I will refund your money. Though if you do purchase from me, I expect you to post your transaction with me on the forum. I am currently gathering many customers now and in the past to post on that forum, to show people that I am not really what they are saying I am. Either way I thank you for your intrest in our bussiness, and for your apologie and good manners.
Thanks, Jon

Well, it seems that Jon didn't learn anything about copyrights and intellectual property law, because he's dead wrong on all counts.

I was just going through my old emails and noticed that T. Anderson also used to sell on KS as Exotic Fauna and his het pied ad looked just like bearded pets het pied ad. Are Anderson and Trunk in business together?


I also notice they (bearded pets) have yet another ad up for a het female ball. They had the same ad posted about 3-4 weeks ago BUT, the animal is now only 4 months old and eats rat pups and weighs in at 190 grams. Funny how the very same animal was

We have one female 100% Het for albino ball python left , she is 10 months old and weighs 197 grams ,She comes with the paper work from the breeder that we purchased her from and are guarantee that she will produce albino . Eatting great on frozen pinkies.

THE PIC IS OF THE SAME ANIMAL........


These guys are a JOKE ! !

Speechless!

We currently have a black back ball python he is a male and is about 2 months old weighs about 90 grams. He is very nice and friendly would be awesome to add to any breeding project or collection since he has a 98% chance he will produce clown. We will sell this awesome animal for only $200 shipped ! ! ! We have better pictures if you need them.
We will be happy to answer any questions , we accept Pay Pal , money orders and cashiers checks.
Thank You

[Scochoman]

Wow

I didn't know that black back means 98% het for clown? And what a price!! What are they thinking?

Scott Vernooy

 

[The Reptile House]

Black Ball

Yep inquired about that one and wouldn't ya know no reply back, no other pics at all. There just horible.

Shanell Sepulveda

 

[screamdreams]

98% Clown????

I am so done. I don't care if I violate ever TOS on every site (besides this one) out there. I am pounding their name in the ground. KS should pull that ad right now, what a shame to have such pathetic human beings walk among us...

 

[Scochoman]

I feel the same way, I already posted on KS about the ad.

[The BoidSmith]

Apparently the ad was removed.

Regards.

 

[jmartin104]

I was getting ready to report the ad myself but it was removed seconds before I could do it. I did not know anything about Bearded Pets, but after seeing the ad and reading about them here.... holy toledo! How do they stay in business?

 

[Scochoman]

I notified KS of the ad after my first post today. Maybe they saw the light? or Maybe BPets felt stupid.

Scott Vernooy

 

[PAUL BOLLINGER]

OR...

or They sold it.......I hope not though.

 

[The BoidSmith]

How do they stay in business?

Jay,

I don't think they are a business they just sell an animal here and there.

Regards.
