    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....

I bought a het. Albino boa proven adult from this guy.....she had her clutch today and no white(bred to my albino)....that's right 1800.00 for a normal old boa!!!! If anyone has any ideas please help.....Chris Henrich
 
Sorry to hear of your unfortunate story.
On the other hand, I do not understand why people continue to buy from this guy. He has countless threads on here about deals gone bad.
I would think people would do more research on people when handing over their hard earned money.

Not trying to come accross as being an a$$, just amazed that's all.
 
Not a Surprise

No surprise, as I got a "great deal" on a female wildcaught BCI that was guaranteed 110 % het for albino :(
Too bad it was also 110% guaranteed for mites, ticks, a URI and a nasty lower GI infection and is now fertilizing some of my roses ! We need to face the facts on this one, Jerry found himself in financial trouble and decided to sell anything and everything he got his hands on (sick, wc, rescues), making up the genetics for each as he went along.

His name is beyond repair at this point in the reptile community, so chances of any reimbursement are slim and none unfortunately !
 
Chris,
How far back are you talking? I have heard nothing but shady things for 6-7 years now......both here on the BOI, phone conversations, and other websites.
Just never seems to end.
 
Just to clarify myself, the latest string of threads that have popped up on this guy over the last year are far from all that has happened.........so not sure what you meant about "I bought this snake before all that went down".
Must be one hell of an old boa then.

Sad that people pull this kind of stuff. And people wonder why nobody is trusted anymore.
 
Contact Mike Yarrish

Chris - Contact Mike Yarrish on the Jerry situation. He's currently pursuing an issue concerning his not being refunded on a sickly adult male albino boa..

For myself I'll just wait until my next trip back East...
 
These kind of people need to taken out out of the business by any legal means possible!!
If I can help, please ask!
 
only 13.......and a few slugs.......I'm hoping for a high ratio on the female end so I can make back my bread.....Chris

I know some people will say that is not enough.
That you could just have bad luck.
Well they could be right.
If that is the case......then gosh darn you do have bad luck. DO NOT buy lottery tickets. Just send your money my way.

My kind of bad luck would have yeilded me one and only one albino.
at least I would have gotten one.

I guess what I am trying to say is.........I doubt you are that unlucky.
But I am crossing my fingers and hoping you just had bad luck.
and I am hoping for the best that you will prove it out next year.

And no I am not defending jerry. ( I am trying to just keep bad people away from my mind....I am trying to keep positive things in my mind at the moment)
All this negative people and all this negativity caused me not to produce anything this year. So I am rubbing the bad people out (trying anyway). They do not exist to me.

Good luck to you.....and may you have plenty of females
