    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....

As mustangrde1 pointed out, I would be willing to bet the IRS can make him remember where he lost his airway bills. Ray told me that Delta has no records of Kevin shipping anything in the past 9 months. Kevin is the wolds greatest issue dodger I have ever seen. He is good at avoiding answering questions by trying to redirect the focus onto someone else. Then he gets mad when people do that to him with his hacked up venomoids. I say we all start making phone calls to IRS, Fish & Game, and DEA and insist on an investigation of this irresponcible liar.

Just to add a little spice to the mix, I got verification today that the tracking number in question belongs to a UPS shipment that was dropped off at an Office Depot Customer Counter in Burns Oregon.

Kevin.....out of curiosity...where do you live?

Gee, isn't that funny. He's been advertising venomous snakes for sale during this time. I wonder how he's getting these snakes to the customers? You get three guesses and the first two don't count.

Good idea. Anyone up for posting the relevant contact information and phone numbers for all the authorities that should be hearing about this?

Thanks. :)

I have been watching Kevin Smith for a long time. Why does he keep up this rant? What's the deal? Why can't you ship legally? Is it because you are unverified? If not, then it must be because its a cheaper route. Pathetic! Shipping venomous stuff this way is serious. I have seen your posts on classifieds and forums now, and as a minor......i am not even impressed.

Who is calling this guy in? Someone should! He certainly does NOT seem right for venomous!!!!!!!! He clearly has no respect for the laws, the animals, and his peers.

Someone should turn him in. That is the only way he is going to get knocked out of the hobby. As long as he is here, hot keepers are at risk. What if there is an accident? What if someone gets hurt? It will be Kevin's fault! Yet, another black eye for hot keepers.

Another thing. Let's talk about those venomoids, dude. You are so low. I hope you get busted so you can't make anymore. Venomoids are immorral. Period. There are no two ways about it. We, as herpers love the animals we keep. That's what this hobby is about......the animals. We choose to share our lives w/ them dedicating our time to promote settings in which they can thrive. Because you are a selfish low-life you have these butcherings where these poor snakes are hacked up for profit. I also hear that you do it w/o anesthetics. Illegal and shameful. How dare you!

And as far as your peers. Well your character shows there too. Your peers don't respect you. Not any respectable peers that I can gather. How many problems have you had?

I think its time you hang up your tongs.

It was strictly over the phone Alvaro but I have a full address now. The package was shipped from

Office Depot Copy Center
2205 Burnside
Gresham, OR. 97030

1-503-618-8812


Had the city wrong in my first posting...sorry. This info is 100% correct though.

Hmmmmm I wonder if they keep copies of their airbills?



Jeremy...now would be a great time to post a scan of that Shipping label. I believe that would truly put a happy end to this thread.
 
Believe it or not there is one Kevin Smith listed in Gresham Oregon. Would anyone out there happen to know this gentleman's phone number?
 
Would you believe that the zip code matches the Office Depot? What are the odds? Nice to know he had a short drive to drop off the deadly snake he shipped illegally.
 
Incidentally, the reason the shipper info was hard to track is that Kevin apparently does not have an account with UPS. The account number in the tracking number belongs to that Office Depot location

This is not just a black eye for the hot keepers. For most of the general public a snake is a snake, and they won't discriminate on what species was being sent. This kind of action endangers all herp-lovers alike.

FYI

Here is another number to call:

The local Chief of Police is Carla Piluso.
She can be reached at (503) 618-2313.

I'll have an email contact for her in a few...

You guys are amazing.....

I never shipped a snake to Jeremy through UPS, that is a bald face lie. I know that there are losers on here that just can't stand the fact that venomoids exist and will lie,forge, or anything else to try and get me in trouble, but the sad thing is you can throw the biggest fit you want and make up all the lies you want, but it doesn't change the fact that I sell venomoids and will continue to do so. If you don't like them, don't buy them, but I WILL SELL THEM AS LONG AS I WANT TO. Venomoids won't be band until all hots are band, so just remember that. I did not ship anything illegally, you can wish and wish all you want, but I know I didn't and that is all that matters. All the info you are holding so sacred came from a scammer, that has still yet answered up to the questions I put forth to him, but I understand how some of you can buy into that because alot of the hot dealers out there that are against venomoids are thieves themselves. If you want to talk about people ruining the business, why don't you talk about all of the hot dealers out there that will sell to minors or anyone else that is unfit, that is what is going to ruin the business. There is almost no checks or balances to buying venomous, any kid with an email account can purchase them quite easily. I know that some people would love to believe the lies that antivenomoid people spread, but wish all you want, venomoids are not ruining the hobby, that problem lies with alot of hot dealers that have nothing to do with venomoids. Good ol' fashion witch-hunt is what the anti venomoiders are on. Feel free to call anyone you would like and spread any of the rumors you would like. Because in the end, you will still only be wrestling between yourselves.
