    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....

sure you didnt write the little email you quoted?????


hmmmmmmm

In your Dreams Mikey!! Call me an Idiot all you want, It wont change the facts HERE!! Rick is a Low Life and so is his Partner Joey Caphony!! :thumbsup:
 
I am going to say this so we at least keep on track or topic.


Rick has not ripped anyone off! I would buy from Rick, who he buys from isnt my issue as long as Rick supports his sale!

For Cat...love you and I respect your decision and I respect you Please understand mine.... and why I take it.

Wes I respect you and and your animals, but when your wrong man if you cant acknowledge it just keep your mouth shut.

Everyone has thier own standards mike.

Yours allow you to support known scumbags.

Mine don't.

Don't get all pissy because YOU can't do any better than you do. I certainly don't give a rat's patootie who YOU buy from. Of course, it takes you off MY list of who I buy from.

It's a personal thing mike, not between you and I, but between myself and I. I won't let myself support known scumbags the way you will.

It's as simple as that.

Wes,

I respect that, and your choices I respect. If you choose not to buy from me then again its laid out that in a way I respect. You may not like what I do or say...but all I ask is respect that I am making my choice for myself. You may carry the higher ground we don't know....but I give people a chance.....

Lets see, I can send a deposit to Rick for what he has cooking.

What Rick is taking deposits for he does not have cooking. He is selling by virtue of the guarantee of a failure. By doing so, he enables that failure even further. Rick may not have been a bad guy in the past, but the day he started accepting deposits for Joe Capone animals, that havent even yet been produced, he became an enabler to Joe and in essence a failure all his own.

Dragondad said:
The point is a deposit for something isnt as off base as you think....its just you dont like Joe. So get your head on straight and stop with the hit submit button 100 times, just like in bearded dragons you are the Energizer Bunny of posts....... time for you to go away(thought you promised that once, guess your word is worthless).

In qouting Bobby, I know enough about him to know that his head and heart are in the right place. He could post a thousand times and each time state the same thing and it wouldnt annoy or offend me. He fights for whats right. That he does it all the time leads me to admire his persistance and courage to read half ass comments like your request that he simply stop and go away. You dont get to tell anyone to go away.

I will type this real slow so you can understand...

He told you what you can do. So either you drop or just stop.

Wes....

The blinders you speak of are turned in so you cant see s**t.

Using stars to disguise a word doesn't make you invulnerable to being hit with warning points for what you didn't have the sac to actually write. But it does make you appear very soft and quite fairy like.
 
Wow this thread certainly did spin out of control since I last checked it – given the subject I am not at all surprised.

I think the reason is pretty simple there are some good natured people that want to give Rick the benefit of the doubt – at one point I did too – I learned my lesson the hard way – I’m just hoping to save some people the misery this man spreads. And believe me - I get it, after all, where the animals are concerned no one has so far been able to prove that they’ve gotten a raw deal – hard to do with the possible hets Rick has been selling for years. Even Chris Johnson had a good reputation up until a point.

Now a bunch of people that have had the misfortune of having known Rick for several years – have come forward to tell you that Rick is a scumbag. Like many here Rick weaseled his way into our circle of friends, and despite our best efforts to get rid of him – he will not go away – he’s like a venereal disease that way. Learn from our mistakes people this is what the BOI is about.

Rick is a forum troll that has been kicked off most forums – those top name breeders that we all respect will no longer put up with his game playing bull shit and have booted him – does that send up any red flags for anyone?

What about the fact that he throws people under the bus – trash talks everyone in the business including his “friends” and is a rumormonger – does that send up any red flags?

Or what about the fact that he’s been proven to be a liar - many times over in this thread alone – and to what extent he’ll go if need be - is that not a concern?

Adding in that he’s whore himself out to anyone that will take him including Joe Capone and all that that entails – well that is what it is.

And that not one person has come forward to say – yeah I’ve known Rick for years – he’s an upstanding guy that I would certainly trust anything he has to sell …. Blah blah blah? 12 years (or whatever) in the business and not one person – not even Joey.

Certainly - your money is yours to spend however you like. If the only thing that matters to you is that you get a good deal then by all means go ahead and buy from whomever you like. But if you are tired of all the lying, cheating, scumbags that are an embarrassment to this community and keep attracting more scumbags - then don’t just judge your purchase on who can give you the best deal – support those people that are truly good, honest breeders with good honest reputations.

I look forward to hearing what rumors you are going to spread about me Rick – I suppose that would just prove my point. Perhaps you can think of something original instead of stealing other peoples material.

And that’s all I’m going to say on the subject.

People spend your money wisely. :thumbsup:
 
Chuck:

First of all, I am not afraid of points.....but since your buddy Jas has crossed the line I choose not to cross, this is about business. This could be seen by others who are not so mentally challenged as yourself...(lets see 12 yr olds). I at least masked my intent....oh where did you do that? Want the quote?


Again this is about business. Chuck were you ripped off? Ok so you dont like Rick or more important you dont like Joe...


If I buy a snake from Rick and it isnt what I bought...can you tell me one person who has been ripped off...and be real. I buy a proposed Lucy...give me an example of one person who didnt receive their deposit or refund back?

As far as Bobby is concerned his head and heart may be in the right place but that place missed the bus.......and I can tell anyone to go away just like you can make the comments you made...just be prepared to answer for them. Lest you forget a recent bearded dragons thread....gee did you miss that Chuck? You post your comments in public view, or are you above the subject.....

Since you all are missing the point, Stardust made it plain but you seem to totally forget to step up to the window. This is about business, you may like or dislike what Rick does. But I have yet to see a single person say that Rick ripped them off.....................? You dont like Joe...but Rick is who your buying from? Now my standard for "scum" (not my term) is different from yours but go read about MGReptiles or a 1000 others on the BOI that deserve the attention your giving to this.

Stop with the jump on popularity band wagon....that isnt always the the best place to camp out.

Listen you Stupid fu(k, I am trying to protect Nieve people like yourself. That is why I'm posting here... But since your being such a RickHead, I say Buy Now!! :thumbsup:

I think you are. And it wasnt about what Jasballs had the sac to say to you but in actuality what you did not have the sac to say in your response to Wes.

Ohh ho hum. You masked your words because youre afraid. That you mask your words like Rick has tried to mask his affiliation with Joe Capone does not surprise me.


Dragondad said:

I was not ripped off by Joe or Rick. Though I have been ripped off in a similar circumstance in which the type of business Rick and Joe are currently conducting. Its real easy to take a deposit for something that doesnt exist and promise a full refund if it cant be produced. The problem that normally stems from that is the fact that the money is not held on the side to be refunded in the instance of a problem. And then we wind up hearing stories about where the money went and the excuses when it can be refunded. Sometimes that neve happens. No restitution for the buyer.

Geesh, I don't even understand your question so I really must be mentally challenged. Does anyone understand what he's trying to say?

Care to try again for this retard?
 
C'mon folks, let's keep it semi-civil here. The swearing and personal stuff needs to be kept somewhat within the boundaries of "acceptable".
 
I think the reason is pretty simple there are some good natured people that want to give Rick the benefit of the doubt – at one point I did too – I learned my lesson the hard way – I’m just hoping to save some people the misery this man spreads.

Even Chris Johnson had a good reputation up until a point.

I agree with your whole post, especially this part. I know lessons on "possible hets" as well and will not buy anything under 100% het from a VERY well known breeder. It is too hard to prove someone is bad because you have to grow the animal up and wait, totally understandable.

When this thread started I was thinking that a guy with no bad track record was getting slammed because he bought from someone people do not like. Heck, I even called him, I am not going to repeat stuff on here as it is just hearsay because we talked on the phone.

Now I do not think I would buy from him because of some of the things I have read on here AND most of his stuff is poss het ect and I do not buy them. So from this thread and what he sells I would not buy, I do not think there was any need to go as personal as this thread has, no need to. I understand and respect people much more if and when they write posts like yours or explains things in a precise, accurate manner.

Sorry! I have a problem doing this. I quit school at a very young age. So with me Thats what you get! I'm not Stupid Just dont word things as proper as most. And I will not cower to a Bad karma point! That means nothing to me. Bottom line for me. If I know Someones Not right I'll say it. How ever I have too!
 
I think if people choose to be blind after showing them the truth, then they deserve what they get. Rick has lied to this board many times here, people like Dragondad choose to over look that. Well, it just goes to show they care nothing for morals, thus pitting them with the ones they defend. JMHO

If you want to support the guy working with KNOWN scumbags, you go right ahead. If you're getting a deal that is good enough for you to feel good about yourself, then you just do that.

Bashing aside, rick has lied here several times. rick IS working with joey capony who IS one of the biggest scumbags to ever touch a snake.

Your refusal to see that changes nothing at all. The facts are there, rick's own words are there and joey's history is there.

Do whatever you have to to make yourself feel good about your decision but don't think you can fool anyone into wearing the same blinders you do.

You seem very angry... now you direct it at me?
Why? I was in this deal with Rick before anything about MKR came up (check the timing in this thread). If IMHO attacking someone through their personal life seems like a sound practice to you; you are welcome to that opinion. I do not agree with that nor your conculsion about me. I entered a deal with someone & I aim to finish it... that's what "good guys" do. Period.
 
Dang, who banned Jasballs? He didn't have anywhere near 500 warning points so I'm guessing Rich or one of the super mods, since they are the only ones allowed by rule to use the "insta-ban". He didn't appear to cross the line any further then a lot of other people here who haven't been insta-banned.

Jasballs was given a three day pass to be elsewhere. He wanted to be "cute" about the warning points I gave him, so I figured he needed some time away from here. This is a administrative tool I seldom use on this site, but will use it when it seems appropriate and fitting.
