    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....

Good Guy Johns Stranahan/ JasBalls

Another great transaction with John got some hott black pastels and an enchi. Thanks Jas I couldn't be happier with my Bp's. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Jas again.

Not trying to beat a dead horse here , but seeing all the things john has done to kellih and others anyone that deals with him is someone to stay away from, regardless of the animals he sells he seems to be a horrible person.

to each their own . as long as his animals are top notch i will keep getting animals from him regardless of his personality .. if you cant handle his personality then don't , if you can the animals you get will be an amazing addition ..
Think of it like this :
Dealing with is personality is a short term process
Having his great animals in your collection is a long time process .

I'm sorry, but i relate this to; would you buy crack from Charles Manson? sure, I'm sure he has great stuff, but you would overlook the fact that he was a murder just to get it?

and and like i said b4 , anyone who buys from a person who acts like this has shown his morals are bendable as long as he gets a deal ,you are entitled to your opinion and i am entitled to mine , no way would i support the business of someone like this or anyone who does support him .
 
A recent conversation on my faceBook wall regarding a photo I posted of a leopard gecko-



His "Got Skateboards" comment was meant to hurt me because of something to do with a close family member that I lost that was a skater, and died holding his board, and was also buried with it. I have a tribute tattoo for that person that incorporates a skateboard in it. Jas knew all of this because I was foolish enough to become his fb friend and therefore he could read all about that person I lost and see the photos.

We all know now that "Lena" was a fake but Jas didn't know that prior to what he said to her about her "dead loved one". He pulled the same crap with me. I don't give a rat's behind if his ball pythons crap out gold turds, I would never buy from him. In fact, I'll take it a step further and say that I'd rather cut off one of my toe's than buy from that piece of garbage. :censored:


I am SO very sorry, Kelli.:( That might be one of the meanest things I've read in a long time. I don't know Jas, but after that, I would never buy from him.

I ask you this then, Do you own anything from Brian B. or Ralph D. I ask as both them guys has Jas's animals in their collection

No i don't . mostly buy from reputable local breeders or small timers. but like i have repeated in this thread ,its my choice to steer clear of such a person and his associates as is the many other associates of other well known horrible people .


People seem to want to justify the horrible things jas has said with the quality of his warez,seems rather sad to me to be such way that people are willing to ignore a really bad aspect of a seller just to get a deal.

Wasnt Justifying anything, John is a big boy and can deal with the repercussions as they unfold.

Never said it was u did i? anyways i said my end . i wont do business with such people and there associates and i hope more follow my lead instead of ignoring such outburst in favor of getting a deal.

well i wasn't justifying him either , Rich is right "hes a big boy and he can sleep in the bed he has made " , but where do you get that i mentioned anything about dealing with him just for good deals ? i said if you want high quality animals /amazing animals . never did i state i would deal with him just to get a good deal or cause he would give me good deals just to buy from him .
His animals are top notch no one can argue that . and like i said before if you can handle the type of person he is then do so and purchase animals from him . if you cant then stay clear of him . its a personal choice to make .
Me im thick skinned as they come , his personality doesn't phase me in the least ..
Just cause someones an ass , that's their prerogative .. if he has the animals i want or need i will buy them or acquire them (but that's just me ) from him cause i know they will be exactly what they are supposed to be .
and again everyones entitled to their own opinion on wether or not they want to deal with him . doesn't make anyone who does the same as him ..

I think you hit it right on the head.:iagree: He's been an arse to some people but I would bet that he has alot more happy customers and friends in the industry than you guys think. Main reason I post this is simple, I already have a member saying he will not do any business with me because I associate with John.There are MANY in the industry who are friends with and do plenty business with him but won't give their opinion. I can only share my real experience wit the dude not what others have experienced.
 
I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I bought from someone that treats other people like that just so I could get a nice animal. Good morals seem to be getting more rare it seems. Too many people are willing to just "look the other way" as long as it doesn't affect them.

Wow you brought one of the worst serial killers into the thread pretty over the top.:rolleyes:

Didn't get a deal;)

I also want to send my condolences to Mrs. Kelli. I'm very sorry for your loss.

again thats your personal choice .
you dont know the full and complete story as to why he flipped on her , or if their is one . he cant come here to defend himself , so your only getting 1 side .
Hes never done me wrong and i wasnt part of what happened to the other person so why should i have to hold something that DIDNT AFFECT me against him ?

im not looking the other way , but if he hasnt treated me with disrespect so why should i do it to him ? until he does i will continue to have good transactions with him .
we have all flipped out on someone at 1 point in our life . does that make you a bad person to ? does that mean i shouldnt deal with you either ?
and if you say you have never flipped out on anyone in your life your lying . we all have its human nature ....


again if you dont like john or his personality then feel free to stay clear of him , its your choice ..

does that mean everyone should follow your lead and do the same ? not in a long shot ..


and it doesnt make me or anyone any different cause i or they purchase from him then if i didnt .. ask my customers i have sold and traded to and people i bought from , doesnt do anything to change me and who i am ...
 
Just like I said, if it didn't affect you, why care about it?:rolleyes:

If part of the flipping out is purposefully digging at a mother over her deceased child, then yes that makes that person a bad person in my book.
 
Just like I said, if it didn't affect you, why care about it?:rolleyes:

its not that i dont care what happened . but lets be real its happens every day in this country and we would get no where in life if we never did business with someone who did someone else along the way wrong or flipped out and cussed someone out .. ( you dont think the person that sold you your house ever screwed or verbally ripped someone apart ?) , how about those lawyers (no need to say more) ? or our own government officials !!!!!!!!!!etc .. etc.. ... just cause i wont let it affect my business deals with him ...doesnt mean i dont care that it happened or condone it ..

need to clarify what i said in bold above
Now if this post was about ripping off someone or scamming someone or stealing from someone then yes i could see why it would be reasonable to not want to do business with them . but just cause they verbally went overboard on someone then i go by how they have treated me ..


but like its been said
ITS YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE .. either you do or don't its that simple
