    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....

Intense Herpetoculture - Any feedback?

I just wanted to say, I have never waited more than 3 days for reptiles that I have ordered. I paid in full on April 20 & have gotten nothing but excuses. It has been a month & I have not recieved any snakes or a refund.
I have been promised both many times. I just want to hear from somebody that has recieved snakes or a refund.
THIS SITUATION IS PURE GARBAGE!!!

What I am saying is I am a VERY busy man, one thing going wrong is like dominos.

In quoting something above that Justyn posted previously in this thread...well....its really quite simple.

You folks and your requests for a refund....well.....you are whats going wrong and you are in essence the domino's. Its sad and I do sympathize with your situation, but its always been my advice to never ever give anyone money for something they are not in physical possesion of. As you can clearly see, promises are meant to be broken and deposits are destined to be spent.

At this point the best you can do is to just let the guy get his pond jobs finished so you can get what you're entitled to and end this nightmare for yourselves.

-----

Just curious though, and this question is directed to Justyn, if you are soooo busy between the Senate, publications, and your pond building business, what kind of time do you have for the care and maintenance of this diverse collection of wildlife of yours? Ya know...the sharks, sloths, rare amphibians, etc..etc. Is there not someone whom you employ that can see these outstanding orders out the friggin door to the folks who have been waiting patiently? Or perhaps someone who can oversee your daily pond operations temporarily while you satisfy those with whom you have outstanding debt?

Let me ask, if any of the folks that you owe money to were to contact the publisher of the pond magazine that you mentioned in one of your previous posts, to refer that publisher here to this thread to see how many unsatisfied customers you have in a side business, and how you've used your publishing responsibilities in an attempt to justify those delays, how long do you think you'd be contributing to such a magazine? What would be the domino effect on such an instance?

I'm going very easy Justyn. Its time to get it together bro.
 
From what I understand, Justyn didn't send out my refund until Fri night because he was at a senate meeting. He said it was going out on the Wed before, but it didn't. I'm pretty sure it didn't go out on Fri. either. If you go to the Texas Capitol Events website you can see what the senate is speaking on per the exact date. I did not see anything listed for reptiles or reptile ownership on May 18. I did not see Justyn's name listed on the registry either.

There actually was a Senate hearing on Friday May 18th, the bill was defeated on Friday, it was posted on several boards. Which makes me wonder just what Justyn was working on the Senate with for the last 3 days if the bill was defeated on Friday? :shrug01:
 
anywho, justin.. how are those refunds goin buddy?

here's some food for thought All Mighty One who-can-send-a-$30K-prepay-on-a-peru-shipment-but-not-people's-refunds... did you know that anytime now several people can file a lawsuit (perhaps a federal class action lawsuit) can be filed against you essentially causing you to lose just about everything you own? I'm sure someone who you owe money would simply LOVE to get that ball rolling rather than wait on you to issue refunds that you have promised to send out (in writing no less) and just take whatever they can squeeze out of you.. hell if it were me i would be charging your interest until you paid me back. You have failed to provide services promised which illegal, and you have frauded your customers. I dont know how many times this can be said, but apparently none of it is getting through that thick skull of yours, unless the Texas sun fried your brain causing it to shrivel up. *shrugs* who fuggin knows.

For the love a buddah man, you make so many empty promises and tell people so many things, the longer this goes on the more its gonna take out of your reputation that you have, or what's left of it. And right now, anything that you say wont be good enough until you can back it up.. you can only use the excuses you are dishing out so many times before it rots to nothing like a dead skunk carcass on the side of a road.

LOL. I bet no one told you that 10lbs of feces wont fit in a 5lb bag. but of course if i did that you'd never pay me if i won.

Greg, I have your animals. Why have you not called or e-mail me since we last talked a few weeks ago?

As for my South American trip, it was to my facility in Bolivia.
YOUR facility in bolivia? lmao

You never know Robin....I bet you didnt know I have my own facility in Paraguay and one in the deserts of Mongolia where it's protected by warriors who are experienced in the ancient fighting styles of the Huns. :thumbsup:

The only thing you have motivated me to do is make sure certain groups of people are educated about birth control. You know, I've been in this business a long time, even with being a young soul.

I've brought in some mighty cool reptiles, some of them first imports for the species. I received Caiman lizards a very short while ago, first time in MANY years, no one else has been able to accomplish this! I brought in a new species of Goliath frogs from the Congo, I even currently have a whole series deposited at UTA, and hopefully a future description co-written by me will be published pending collections of the type series. I can go on and on with species I have sold that are some of the rarest animals offered in the USA.

I am working on bringing the out CBB Giant Lake Titicaca frogs from MY facility in Bolivia. I have repeatly offered new and rare herps for YEARS, look it up! For anyone to doubt my ability and honestly on these issues doesn't look at my past accomplishments, do they? They listen to Dave Lawson posting under fake names and all of a sudden I'm ripping them off, I'm a scam.

Yes, my shipments get delayed, all the time. Ask ANY of my frequent customers. Do I provide them with GREAT animals, yes, I do! I'm a very busy man, one things goes wrong in my day and things get put a side. When I can clone myself, I will.

For me to come across a few bumps in the road for a month or so does not make me a bad guy, it means I'm human, and as long as I fix my mistakes, I'll still be the good guy I always was.

I publish articles MONTHLY in various magazines worldwide relating to the care and breeding of reptiles, amphibians, fish, and inverts. Tell me, what have you done for the hobby? What have you done other then play a judge on an online forum?

Sure, I screwed up on this one, I made a few bad choices, accepting deposits was one of them. Handling vipers in a way that presented a danger to myself was another mistake. I am bogged down with everything right now on my pond business, but I will catch up shortly and I will be bigger and better then before in the reptile world. You can't bring me down Chuck, you're an idiot who doesn't know when to shut their mouth.

Go ahead, make me Jesus, crucify me for the truth, for my mistakes. Your a loser who spends his time belittling others under the guise of the internet.

Like I said before, I pride those who have posted about their dealings with me, I only ask they post the truth. They mostly have. It's people like you who have free time that don't belong on the BOI, who degrade the intergrity of this forum.

oh quit building yourself up to be larger than life justyn. if you could provide PROOF to even 1/16 of what you post perhaps people might actually believe you.
yeah so you you do this and that and have monthly deadlines and you have a a facility of your own in bolivia
:rolleyes: but you can't seem to shit down while arguing here and send people out refunds
come on now, do you honestly think people believe this bullhonkey?
you better hope you can refund these peoples monies quick before the law gets involved.

Also, if I'm such a scam why do I have such an impressive collection of animals including sloths, fruit bats, RARE salamanders, rare agamids, oddball snakes, sharks, geckos, Conraua (first imports offered of two species), etc. Did I steal money to pay for these? All this time I've been scamming people, huh? I have to have one of the most diverse collections in the USA of oddball herps, some of them the only ones in the USA held in captivity.



GET A FUCKING JOB YOU LOSER! STOP LIVING OFF THE DEPOSITS OF HONEST FOLKS! HOW ABOUT THAT?

HOW ABOUT IF YOU WERE DOING JUST DANDY IN THIS BUSINESS YOU MIGHT OWN YOUR OWN HOME INSTEAD OF RENTING ONE. OR....HOW ABOUT HAVING ENOUGH CASH IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT TO REFUND A MEASLY THOUSAND DOLLAR DEPOSIT TO ONE OF SEVERAL UNSATISFIED CUSTOMERS? YA KNOW, TO A CUSTOMER THAT YOU JERKED AROUND FOR MONTHS WITH EXCUSES AND WITHOUT THEM HAVING TO GO TO EXTREMES OF CREDIT CARD CHARGE BACKS?

YOU FUCKING LOSER.
[/QUOTE]

justyn. you know as i do that NO ONE has sen this alleged collection, with exception of the sloth
 
I suppose it's as good a time as any to throw my hat into this circus too. I sent Justyn a deposit on March 26. It was a small deposit of only $100 dollars that was to be used towards animals from the Congo shipment. The rest of my story is pretty much the same as everyone else involved. I've gotten the poor quality pictures and the promises of better pictures soon. I haven't heard anything from him in a while now. I emailed him last Thursday but I haven't gotten any response yet. I would really rather have the animals instead of my money back but I'm not sure if the animals even exist?

I understand that things happen in any business. I didn't come on here to make threats but this issue must be dealt with. So if your reading this Justyn please contact me to resolve the situation.

Thanks,
Taylor James

The $16.00 was for two skinks she ordered but then canceled. The order I sent was for a single juv. melleri.

As for slipping on rocks, got one better, I dislocated my shoulder IN TRAFFIC yesterday. It's a bit swore now, but wow, that hurt.
well i fell out of bed and fell on a chest and scratched the skin off the back of my arm (swollen and hurts like hell) and i still managed to seed and water my yard
:yesnod:

Also, as I asked, please remove your icon that shows an image I took. I asked this in a private e-mail with no response, so it is going here. I make part of my living taking photos of animals for various magazines and I appreciate being asked or at least acknowledged for my photos.

ok so you take all of these professional photos but you can't take photos of the squams in question?

Hey Nora, you really agree with Chuck Kimmel?

You know this guy? and you back him? Holy cow! get a grip girl/guy!
This guy is dangerous, well unto himself, harmless to everyone else.

Read his Warning points, that say's a lot about him.

Chuckie Cheese is very EZ to play with and get a response. I, like many, enjoy playing with him, even when I tell him to take a "time out". hahahahhaa!
