    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....

Inquiry on bearded pets?

Report Being Made!

Rob, I have emailed the ad to 2 friends in the Ga DNR. One is very high up. I will follow up tomorrow. I hope that no one has a problem with that, but just in case...

Have any of you noticed new adds posted by A.H.P. Exotics that have been registered on Kingsnake since 12-10-2002 ? Isn't that about the same time Jon showed up? If you do a look-up by address, the name of this Business is Animal House Pets, 267 Main Street, Loganville, Ga. 30052.Phone (770)466-5119, but in the ad on Kingsnake the phone is (678)300-9805 ?? By the way, Loganville is only around 13 miles away from Lawrenceville, Ga. last known address of Jon..

Just so you know the Atlanta area has 3 area codes - 404(downtown and west area),770(north and eastish), and 678(cells and south). Most cell phones are given the 678 area code. Store that in your useless information file! I lived in the Lawrenceville/Lilburn/Snellville/Loganville area for 19 years. Never knew these people though.

What's really puzzling of that add is that both snakes are awesome, but yet the buyer has to inquire to avoid disappointment????

We have a yellow rat snake available he is a adult male and is ready to breed he is eating on frozen thawed mice twice a week. He is awesome and very pretty. We also have a baby snow corn snake he is awesome and eating F/t fuzzies twice a week.They cant be housed together we are just selling the rats snake and corn snake free because we just dont have the room so if you would like to buy them we will sell both for $75 SHIPPED to your door.
Please inquire to avoid disappointment.

Question for NicoleBalls...

I'm also in NJ and was wondering if we're talking about the same person. I was referring to Craig from Ocean Gallery (who, by the way, is a really GREAT GUY TO DEAL WITH, I've been a customer of his for nearly 10 years!). Just curious.

PS- Hope my full name appears, I updated my profile. Gotta follow those rules! ;O)

Looks like they're shipping ANYWHERE IN THE US - OUT OF FLORIDA

I wonder if they've got all their paperwork in order. I may just order something from them (to receive in Ohio) so if a health certificate is not included I can sick the authorites on them.
 
Oh yeah, I almost forgot...

those 5lb females they have for sale....
....I'm taking all bets that they're all 2lb males with 3lbs of ticks on them :)
 
The person that got the $1400 from me was a Carol Laperchia. I had my credit card company do a chargeback.

Carol Laperchia

Does that name ring a bell?

A different approach to posting on KS

I posted in a way that perhaps KS wouldn’t delete a thread in there Ball Python Forum as it shows the scammers names & address. And by mentioning KS as a sponsor was sort of a kick in the @$$ to KS for allowing these people knowingly to scam innocent people.
Everyone should start posting nice things on KS about the great prices they offer on hets but ask how to get rid of the ticks or how long before they might eat or maybe they are non feeders because you think they are breeders and might be gravid already. Nice way to spread the word on KS with the scammers real names & address without the threads being deleted!
I guess money is money to KS as long as they don't lose any advertising $$$$.

An ever changing mosaic of contact info...

Becky,
Not a bad idea, but someone who is new to the hobby may not understand that you are not exactly praising Bearded Pets.
Since they have been know to operate under different names and addresses I thought it would be best to list the contact info you provided on KS here. That way someone else can do a search if they try to use any of this same info again. Also, for any of you out there who would like to "get a hold" of these scammers here's the info:

Good Luck,

Sorry everyone...

just looked back and saw that this info had already been posted (along with a half dozen other bits of questionable info). Sorry about the redundancy, but keeping up with a 60 page thread isn't easy. Starting to look like a soap opera in here or some sort of on-going mystery story. This time though, I really can't wait for the ending!

LOL It took me an hour to read through this. Wow, too bad you can't post this entire thread on KS. These kids are losers.

What in the world makes you think bearded pets is sponsor? Because they own a classified account? That does not make anyone a sponsor. A sponsor is different from a classified account holder. And posting bad dealer messages on the forums over there is guaranteed to get the thread pulled regardless of who is posting about whom and likely to cause the poster to get their own account terminated.

Here is the content of an email I received from them tonight. After two months of hearing nothing from them, this is what I got. Just to let everyone know, my credit card company is doing a charge back for the $1400 and they are working with paypal on the matter.


You know your lieing on pay pal why do you need to lie they are going to look at the tracking number and shut down your account because of miss information.Good Luck !

Trunk, how is a 250 gram female a sub-adult.

I have 2 month old girls that are the same size, maybe they will breed in the next month or so........
 
grrrrrrrrrrr

nov 17th i saw that same post..i have never owned a snake,nor have i ever been burned over the net before!

i really wanted a piebald..very expensive,my idea was to read a bunch they get a ball, so i did, then went gung ho..and bought that very snaked mentioned....then bought a male from a diffrent place 100% het for piebald.....

well i got to thikin i spent alot of money on 2 snakes i better look these guys up....

started with KS..looked at all their posts...isent the money order for that very snake that day overnight....Bearded pets e mailed me to tell me the recieved the money order....the next day.....day after that the 19th..hears their last 100%het for piebald female again? they even gave 2 diffrent weights for it this time!!!250 grams, then 300..and this snake had the exact id # as mine?

that same day posted another add , 2 minutes later infact....5 snakes this time 4 100% het for albino...and of course--1 100% het for piebald female--LAST ONE...

My fault for not looking them up sooner..i know!!!!!!!!SUCKS.....then of course i finally discover the BOI....i thought for sure i could possibly get a piebald.....thats what i get for dreamin i guess...take alot longer now....

anyways good luck to all! Isaac Fields
