There you go again.....
Tanith,
where is your prove besides your rabid anti-venomoid attitude?? You like to throw accusations about me and venomoids in general, but where is the proof to back up your statements. If I have ever sold a "botched" venomoid, you go ahead and show the proof, surely there would be proof by now. The venomoids I sell are 100%, not 99%, but 100%. The person you are claiming as proof is exactly as his username implied, SHADY. I believe there are other threads about him that verify that. Also, he was selling that same snake he claimed was "hot" as a venomoid shortly after he posted that garbage. You also claim there are instances of "verified re-fissuring " with snakes that came from me, go ahead, show us all proof of this happening. I garauntee the snake(s) in question did not come from me. Show us your documents from a vet and the proof the snake or snakes were purchased from me. On top of that, didn't you post some outrageous claim about your "vet" not being able to distinguish the muscle tissue from the venom ducts in a snake?? I believe several people called BS on that. All your claims are so outrageous given your lack of any proof whatsoever, that it is quite pathetic. Everyone calls for proof all the time on here, so go ahead, show us all proof that I sell less that 100% venomoids and you have vet documents to back up regeneration or refissuring in snakes that came from me.

PS- for everyone else in this thread, this is not about venomoids, this is about the accusation Jeremy made against me. I believe Brian is correct in asking that there is proof provided, I am also waiting on Jeremy to prove his case, I don't have to prove anything, because I am not making the accusations. If someone posts something negative on here, they should at least show proof, that is the same standards I was held to in other threads, so it shouldn't be any different with anyone else.
snakegetters said:Naaah, he thinks I'm just a cranky old lady for being concerned about minor little details like that.
Kevin keeps saying that I'm just making up the fact that venomoid operations are not 100% reliable especially when performed by non veterinarians. He likes to ignore the evidence and the statements of well respected and well published reptile veterinarians who have verified re-fissuring after ductectomy and failed/partial adenectomies that have left the animals able to deliver significant envenomation. He doesn't care, and he'll keep right on selling people botched venomoids until somebody gets killed.
One of his unhappy customers came on here reporting that Kevin sold him a "venomoid" canebrake that was still quite capable of envenomating and killing prey. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8527
Most likely he will also go right on shipping venomous snakes illegally, again until somebody gets killed. Personally I think it would be a good idea to put this guy in jail before he can do any more damage to our community.
