    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.....

    =====================


    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) Rick Denmon @ Ball Boutique

Welcome to the BOI Rocky, I take it of Rocky's Reptiles? Glad to have aboard!!

As for Alan, I could not agree more. All you can do is lead a horse to water, but that does not mean he will drink.

The word is out there, everyone can take what they want from this information, however in the end, it is your dollars you are spending. All I can say is, they will see none of mine, I would rather spend a little more and know who and what I am getting.
 
So........Let me see if I got this right.

1. Wes and Joe are still together and the supposed split up never happened.
2. Rick is selling Joe's animals since no one wants to buy directly from Joe.
3. Joe runs reptile auctions behind the scenes due to calling in favors.
4. There is too much drama in the BP world.
 
As far as I know joey capony has nothing to do with reptileauctions or reptileforums.com.

He did his little extortionist best but, failed.
 
Who you choose to partner with says alot...

about who you are, and your business ethics.

I was as bummed as anyone when MK dumped all the Mojaves, but the way Joe talked about himself, and how he was going to purposefully hurt the Ball market, hurt other breeders, and how he came off as such a jackass, I find it hard to think someone would knowingly partner up with such a person. While I have no problem with Rick, I certainly would not buy anything from someone who is partners with Joe.
 
My thoughts exactly, Dave :thumbsup:

So Ed I guess I should buy from Ian and Pete and JY for resale? Nothing wrong with this. I am selling a few animals with a person who has clashed verbally with people....his animals are top quality. That is why I buy from him!
And yet you go to the import bins and pay $10.00 for imports and try to scam new folks into paying $100.00 - $400.00 for normals. Now justify that.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, the only reason Joe is banned from KS and almost everywhere else is because of "verbal clashes".

Another funny one.

So now, you're selling animals WITH Joe? I thought everything you had for sale you had bought from him, and were your own animals? That kinda sounds like a partnership sort of thing to me. :shrug01:

Soooo......I'm confused. If you are pre-selling before they are even hatched, yet everything on your site has already been purchased or produced by you...did you buy the eggs from Joe? Or, what about the eggs not even produced yet? Or are you selling them together with Joe? :eek:
 
Rick

There is a big difference between clashing verbally with someone and talking cr@p about breeders, threatening to crash the market, threatening people, etc. You make it sound like Joe had a problem with one or two people, not the case...big difference.

The big list was added at a later date. But you all knew that. And no the eggs were not shipped to me......that was a funny statement to me :rofl:

All animal photos on my site belong to me or sold to a customer. All photos of animals for sale belong to me. Once animals are paid for they will be shipped and no longer MINE.

Rick, Let me ex-pound on this a little. I have bought snakes from Peter Kahl in the past, but nothing recently. Pete is a friend and can be trusted beyond anything imaginable in your distorted mind. if Pete had something I needed I would not hesitate to buy from him!

I occasionally will buy or trade from Ian Gnazdowski to get something that he has produced that I dont have, He is a trusted friend and the quality of his Ball pythons is unquestionable and both Ian and Pete operate with honesty, ethics, high standards and moral character, something that has eluded you and your associates completely, the het albinos that came from Jeff were without a doubt the absolute best looking hets I ever seen and was very pleased to get them and the people who purchased them were very happy with them.

You know absolutly nothing about ball pythons if you speak negatively of the yearly importation of captive hatched babies, we all wait with pleasure for this to take place and are excited when they arrive. new morphs are being proven out every year because of these CH babies. you missed the boat on these so stop whining about it. Rich you have never developed any long term business relationships because of your...........CHARACTER or lack there-of, so what do you do but climb into bed with Joe C. well....Birds of a feather.

I tried soooo hard to stay away from this thread and have always seen why someone would describe your as a Forum TROLL. :thumbsup:

Fauna seems to be your last stop as they dont want you and your asscciates anywhere else, you and Joey are just perfect together and deserve one another. :iagree:

Rick, you saying that you are selling a few animals with a person that has clashed verbally with people is just insane. :ack2: and demonstrates your total lack of moral character, ethics and sence of all things that are good and right. :eek:

Wow, that's a pretty big statement coming from someone who lies as much as you, Ed. BTW, are you ever going to apologize on that other forum for lying and trying to hurt the reputation of the forum staff?

And Ed, aren't you also the person that sent someone a mite infested snake and tried to smooth it over by telling the person it was "the gift that keeps on giving"? Pathetic. :NoNo:

This is rich... one lying, unethical flipper complaining about another.
 
Rick, once again you display your total ignorance of the captive hatched market and you would be better served to EDUCATE yourself before you state unfounded facts! There are no import bins, they are shipped direct from Africa and treated as the valuable little babies that they are! The normals were around $4.00 this year for the early ones. the specials are a different story, with prices in the thousands depending on what you want. no way is that a scam in any way, everyone is happy and the relationships continue every year. theres your justification. :thumbsup:
