    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

Sorry to bring this back to the top but........

Well it has come to my attention that Snowballs Ball Pythons aka Tim Bowles or one of the other 2 partners has been contacting people up here in Canada about me through Reptiles Canada about my collection being infected with the IBD virus ...Which is a COMPLETE LIE ...........He has been spreading these lies and others about myself , my friend Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles and Kevin of NERD who is another close friend of Matt ... Since he has gotten nowhere spreading his lies in the states he has come to Canada to try ......

Snowballs is completely unhinged and seems will stop at nothing when it comes to his vendetta ..... This has been going on for almost 4 yrs now .....When he couldn't get his bullshit heard about Matt and myself he turned to attacking NERD or anyone who is friends with Matt ... He has come to the Canadian community because he is NOT welcome anywhere else .....He has been thrown off a number of US forums .....He has put up several fake websites with Matt's business name on them .....He has physically threatened myself, Matt and recently Donny aka "Morti" ..... He has posted that Matt is a pedophile ......He has posted that I am a crack whore ....he even sent me this lil PM on Reptiles Canada when I tried to out him there

Hey Nutt the ****,
I see you are still doing your masters bidding. It's a shame he is to gay to sleep with a fat drugged out **** like you.

Ask Queeny how many times he has tried to register on SBP's forums and been denied access.

While you at it, ask the queer why he tried to buy his way into SBP's.

Talk about obsessing. LOL

Tim Bowles is a guy that sent an Paramyxo infected snake that was injected with fluids to make it look bigger then it was to Matt ...who at the time considered Tim a friend ....He ripped Matt off for 2500.00 US and could have infected Matt's whole collection if Matt didn't have the smarts to take it to his vet before taking it into his home ......This is a guy that afterwards flaunted that he ripped Matt off once he was outed as the scumbag he is on the BOI http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/for...ighlight=Bowels

And then later came back into the community as Snowballsballpythons.com and called himself Everett Slagle (ssp) which in fact turned out to be his dead father in-law ...... Now if he didn't have anything to hide ....like who is really is .....then why all the bullshit games saying hes everyone except Tim Bowles ...he was outed yet again on the BOI http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/for...ighlight=Bowels

All this shit and much more ....and still has the nerve to post what a good guy he is buy donating high end Balls to friends for breeding loans .....What is it Tim a donation or a loan ....make up your halfwitted mind .... All I can say is your one messed up lying bastard .....
 
Email from Snowballs

Here is an email from Snowballs that was sent to a person up in Canada in regards to all the BS he has been saying ...... This persons addy and name has been removed to keep him from being a target ......

VPI does not have IBD.

Kevin from NERD was doing a breeding loan with VPI and subsequently killed the clown females he was breeding for VPI.

They died during the outbreak and VPI refused to take animals from them for that very reason. Now it's going to court unless Kevin pays her.

Kevin got infected by a calico boa he received from Matt Lerer of Ghi Reptiles. This was during the time that NERD was building their new facility. They rushed getting their high end morphs out and sacrificed any that were showing signs of being weak.

Now you know why Matt Lerer and his side kick Nett Thompson are on such a hell bent rage to keep this quiet and misdirect everyone from the topic at hand.

The sources I have confirmed this with are Mike Wilbanks who helped talk Kevin through the diagnosing and care of the infected, Ralph Davis, along with several on Ralph's forum, Wes Harris, and VPI. My ace that I wont give out is an employee that works for NERD. He doesn't want me to give out his name for fear of losing his job. I can and will respect that. He is the one that helped carry out all the dead bodies.

During the entire time, NERD and Matt never stopped selling animals. Simply check out Kingsnake ads and see for yourelf.

Check out Matts Enchi's. He has it posted in his blog for anyone to see. He gets new animals and never quarantines them. He had the male Enchi caged with his obese spider within a week.

If you set back and watch, notice how he tries to out post us or one up us in all his posts. It is quite amusing but very scary at the same time. The desert ghost posts will show you that much. He has followed us from forum to forum. We stop posting and move to another forum and he follows right along.

Yes she is Canadian.

wrappedupinreptiles.com

She is an ex drug abuser that will send you dirty pics of herself if you ask. I have seen them and they are not for the faint of heart.

Just to add to your knowledge about this group. Nett flew to Florida a few years back to have an affair with Matt during one of the big shows. When it came time to seal the deal Matt was to drunk and turned her down.

You would be amazed at the information that we have collected over the years and it scares them.

Knowledge is power and we collect as much as possible.

I hope that the people that Snowballs has mentioned in the above email will come and set the record straight .... and out him again for the lying SOB that he is :angry:
 
We are dealing with someone that has such hate for my friend Matt Lerer that he zeroes in on anyone who is associated with Matt.

Matt is a GREAT friend and a very honest person. I do not know why "snowballs" has such a problem even after I have heard the "stories." The hatred for Matt & Matt's friends is excessive.

There are MANY stories about NERD and other people created by "snowballs" to perpetuate misery. They are simply stories and the fact that he has been banned from nearly EVERY SINGLE FORUM says a lot about his constant fabrications. This accusations that Matt contaminated my collection with IBD is retarded, this is completely false. Matt has NEVER sent me a snake with problems in fact.

We do not have the dreaded IBD or Paramyxo in our collection. Our snakes are doing well and breeding well and we're looking forward to another fun season. Any large collection may have an issue with individual animals from time to time but we have not experienced what this Snowballs (Tim Bowles and/or his comrades) character is claiming! Furthermore, we ARE NOT selling or unloading ANY snakes with ANY problems. If this was the case, you would be hearing about customers with problem snakes and such on resources like the BOI.

Snowballs says that other people have helped me with all of the problems and have tried to help me deal with the more than half of my collection dying off. He supposedly knows one of my employees @ NERD that tells him all???????

No.

This guy is Matt's private nightmare and needs people to listen. He just keeps blabbing away hoping someone will listen..............

Look into this guy and you will find a DREADFUL amount of mistruths.

Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings....I am just a bit tired of this guy and his stories. I take GREAT PRIDE in my animals and what I do. I have a great love for my animals and that is WHY I do this.

Kev @ NERD
 
NERD said:

I agree. He is a stalker. Plain and simple.

Matt, what ever did you do in a previous life to deserve this asswipe? :rolleyes:
 
The sources I have confirmed this with are Mike Wilbanks who helped talk Kevin through the diagnosing and care of the infected,

Snowballs posted some stuff on my forum about NERD. We removed it and told him that our forums are not for the BOI type stuff, that belongs on the BOI. He reposted it and said something about me trying to protect Kevin because we are friends. We banned him from the Constrictors forum.

The next day I get a call from him asking why he was banned. I explained that he was warned and then he posted again so he was gone. He told me that he was at work the night before and his wife must have logged on with his account. I explained that it was unfortunate that someone had caused him to get banned from our forum but that there are plenty of other forums and he would have to find another place to post. (I didn't really buy the "wife used my account bit", but I didn't see the point in arguing that with him.)

Seems simple enough, he violated the rules, he was warned. He violated the rules again he was banned. Well I guess this is his way of getting back at me by dragging me into his story. I NEVER talked about Kevin to him. I have posted the extent of my contact with him. Kevin and I are friends and we talk from time to time, but we have never had a conversation about any problems like this.

It seems strange that this guy keeps going from forum to forum trying to stir trouble and exact revenge on people that he feels have slighted him. This is a fun business and hobby. Why not keep it fun? It has to be a miserable existence for him to obsess like this.
 
I will post what I know also when I get back from work. Some may already know about the rounds I have had with Tim and Bobby. I was friends with them. And then bam I was thrown under the bus by them. You all may remember when Tim and Bobby worked together and posted as Tony N. To try to ruin Matt's name.

Bunch of BS.

I will post more here later for sure. I am sure I will be a target of theres but really who will listen to them?
 
Thank you Mike for taking the time to come on here and set the record straight ..... :thumbsup:
 
I have talked to Mike Wilbanks, Wes Harris, and Tracy Barker about this issue that Annette has posted here and Mike has already posted the truth about his experience with Tim Bowles which contradicts everything that Tim is e-mailing people.

After talking to Tracy I found out that she has never even talked to Tim Bowles let alone talked to him about an IBD issue that doesn't even exist.

I have had some great conversations with Wes about this in the past few days and he said that Tim Bowles has been telling him that NERD has these issues...not the other way around like is being sent around in the e-mails and PMs. Wes e-mailed this to me to post on this thread:

I have no knowledge of anything going on over at Kevin's so I couldn't confirm anything.
If anyone has a question e-mail me at [email protected]

Wes Harris




So I think this about clears the air on this subject...sorry Kevin, Annette, Wes, Mike, and Tracy but now you see what I have been dealing with for the last few years.
 
And on and on it goes .......

Here is a post from Snowballs on another forum about a "Nerd" breeder in New England .....


Today 10:58 PM
Snowballs Dont you just love it when they are swelling with eggs?

Note the scarring near the tail.

This animal was purchased by us in a group as a proven breeder female last season. The original owner told us that he purchased her from some nerd in the New England area in a previous group purchase. When he opened the bag he was shocked to find that this girl was all chewed up by a rat or mouse and was just tossed in the bag like yesterdays garbage. The bites and open wounds were deep enough that you could see the exposed spinal chord, connective tissue and muscle mass.

He tried to get a hold of this guy to tell him how shocked he was and got his usual response of f'off.

So after considering his options, he decided to nurse her back to health instead of risking sending her back to the poor conditions that she had obviously come from to most likely die. He managed to save her life and bred her successfully the season before last.

Now she is chocked full of eggs again.

Sad story indeed, but only one of many about this breeder.



I thought this was interesting because if Snowballs believes his own BS about IBD in "Nerdie" collections wouldn't he stay clear of any animals bred by a "Nerd" breeder in New England ....... It seems to me that this moron cant even keep his own lies in order ..... So lil Timmy boy if you have snakes from a "Nerd" breeder from New England that you have been saying has IBD .....ummm......doesn't that mean you have IBD as well ??????
 
And since I am at it .......

Here is a blurb from his forum on his TOS before you register ......

The owners of Snowballs Ball Pythons reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason. All materials, pictures and documents posted on the forums become the property of Snowballs Ball Pythons and are subjected to being used by said owners and moderators.


Whats up with this ???? Who in there right mind would accept this and post any pic or info on this guys forum....... I have never heard of such a thing .........all pics and documents are the property of Snowballs and he and his mods can use them as he sees fit???????? What the hell is wrong with this picture ?????

What an egomanic this jerk is ........
 
I recently added a user on Myspace named 'Snowballs Ball Pythons' and read a bulletin from them about a free ball python morph giveaway through a raffle being held on their forum. I was curious so I followed the link and looked around the site a bit. I wanted to check them out here and this thread has completely turned me off to the idea of registering at the forum or doing any sort of business with them. I guess I should say thanks to you guys for all the info here and in the many other threads involving this person.
 
Hey thanks Sandy... I have them as a friend on myspace as well.. Never paid attention Time to clean up the friends list...

Hey Sandy,

The BOI is a great place to check up on people and you most likely saved yourself a huge headache. :thumbsup:
 
He likes to jump from site to site once people realize who he is. I think reptilicious or something is his new home, probably won't be long and he will be banned from there as well.
