    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.

    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.

just on a another note If Eligha Collins is a real person Im sure some Buddies of mine from Hunter in Savannah will find out for me God I love the Military They can find anything Have A great run Jon/Eligha
 
Like I said earlier in the thread, I bought snakes from him and he still won't tell me anything about them or where they came from except Eligah, with no phone number or anything to possibly contact him. Even if he did have a number or something, why should we believe he is even the breeder. Is it another fictitious name? Probably.

I would think

that this Aligha, or however you spell it, could come on here, show a few pics of some Albinos, or Pieds, and be done with it.
 
This "breeder" doesn't exist.
Bearded Pets is just trying to pass off WC junk as hets to make more money.

I know if someone had a question regarding any of my animals, I would post all the info and pics so there would be no doubt as to what I was offering for sale.

Scam artists always follow the same routine (there must be a class on scamming people somewhere that they go to because they all go about the same way) no pics, no proof of genetics, threaten to sue when called out on lies, and then finally just disapear for a while and resurface using a new alias.
 
hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Now they are advertising a High White PIED but are not posting any pictures. You have to e-mail them for info and pics. I wonder whose stolen pics they are using.

Bearded Pets!!!DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM

Bearded Pets, Jon or whatever you call them..DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!! About a month ago I made the mistake, because I was desperate, to purchase a "100% het albino female" for $400 shipped. Well it all started when they told me, "we sell them cheap because we buy them cheap." I made the purchase very fast and was stupid not to look them up and check them out. I bought the snakes and paid for them on paypal to one of his "friends" email address. When i paid them it took them over a week to deliver the snake to me. HERES where it get good. My mom started to get angry at the fact that they didnt send it for so long so she emailed them with out me knowing. So then they knew I was a kid (16) and must of thought I didnt know what i was doing. So the snake finally gets here and i sex it that day and guess what....ITS A MALE COVERED IN MITES AND ONE LARGE TICK, THE SNAKE DIED AFTER TWO DAYS, IT WAS SEVERLY STARVED AND SICK LOOKING. I email them and they reply.....



Hi, I am sorry for what happend. When I first got your email about the incorect sex I knew there was something teribaly wrong. I just got a call from some one who received a female ball python when he orderd a male. I only had one female het albino ball python on the day I shipped out yours and his snake. Meaning in turn you must have gotten a regualer male ball python and he got a het female ball python.

Now i demanded for my money back but they sent the snake anyway......THE NEXT DAY!!!!! how could they get the snake from the guy and then send it to me in a day????? They would never reply to the messeges and requests i sent when i wanted my money back. They must really need $400 to pay rent. They say how well taken care of their snakes are and how good their company is but its all <font color=red>[**censored**]</font>ING BULL <font color=red>[**censored**]</font>!!!!!!!!
 
That's SICK -

Screw them....

I swear, I have never had someone get under my skin like BEARDED PETS.

They need their (censored) kicked....

Mixed up a male normal and a female het??????? Goodness gracious, they need to be removed. Did you file a complaint at KS??????? We have at least 5 people in this thread that have gotten burnt - what happened to the 3 strikes and you're out program????????????????????????????????????????????????
 
In reality what concerns the most is the complete lack of action of after so many repeated claims. There will probably always be unscrupulous and dealers/breeders. The problem is when a company or a person has the information to protect others from being scammed and does nothing about it. The example of one other thread in this very same first page where the guy is saying "if you have not dealt with me stay out of it". That's exactly what they want, for other people not to get involved. They can thus continue with their questionable business practices "ad nauseam".
 
I am brand new to this thread and faunaclassifieds.com so hopefully I am doing this correctly.

woops, sorry every one.
Anyways I purchased a pair of sub adult het for albino ball pythons from Jon last year. He was local to me and I decided to go to his place and pick them up. He was real nice about it and we scheduled a date and time. I showed up at the right time and all and he let me in and showed me around some of his stock it all appeard healthy from what I could see. He showed me the ball pythons I was intrested in. They were put in a clear plastic container with an air vent. The container was marked "het albino balls" and then both of there numbers. He showed me the snakes and I was very pleased, they were in great health and showed no real problems. The only thing I was a bit worried about was the male. As he seemed a little thin for his size. Jon told me that it was eating and healthy and I decided to beleive it and purchase the pair. When I took the pair home I put them in a 4' X 2' rubbermaid container and used Jons idea of putting screening on the top. My female ate for me with in two days, however the male did not. I got worried by the second week but I still felt Jon was telling me the truth. I didnt think anyone would be stupid enough to show me his house and all, then sell me fake snakes. I called Jon to ask him some tips on getting it to feed, he gave me some ideas but nothing to great. Finally by about 2.5 weeks the male started eating. Luckilly he continued to eat and is just like my female, appetite wise. My male was 600 grams when I first got it and my female was 700 grams. So in a very short time they were both ready to breed. I started wintering them and adjusting light cycles imediatly. After what seemed to be for ever they started copulating. Soon my female barred 6 little eggs. Of course I was more excited then I have ever been in my life. I never bred out any snakes on my own and this to me was an amazing acomplashmint. After incubating, 5 of my little eggs hatched out. Out of this 1 of the ball pythons were albino. This was one of the most exciting things I have ever seen in my life. I did not contact Jon to let him know untill just recently. He then informed me that he was being harrassed and that I should put a response on to this forum. Ive noticed some people in hear are dissatisfied. However my expeirence with Jon has only been great. I will buy from him many more times in the future to come.
 
So, by "local" you mean in Georgia? I know a LOT of people are looking for this guy.

'Bearded' appears to have ROBBED many trusting people in this hobby and one or two "good guy" posts won't change my mind about avoiding them completely.

OMG!!!!!

BOB SMITH!!!! You guys could of made up a more original name... You people are a JOKE!!!!!! How big were they when you bred???????? Give me a break........ I know it is bearded pets because you even write the same with tons of run-on sentences, spelling errors and grammer errors.

"My male was 600 grams when I first got it and my female was 700 grams. So in a very short time they were both ready to breed."

SHUT UP, Bearded Pets!!!!!!! Good try SCAMMERS!!!
 
Very convenient post. Especially from an individual posting from the GWINNETT COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY.
 
One more thing BOB SMITH AKA Bearded Pets

You guys/gals are SCARED aren't you. You guys/gals are trying to stop people from reporting you to the FBI so you won't get arrested and thrown in prision. You guys/gals deserve to be in prision. You guys/gals change your names on KS so what made you guys/gals feel that you could fool us all with this fake name too. I'm pushing forward with all charges so refunds better start showing up to all the people you scammed!!!
