    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....

I don't understand why people continue to label Kevin is a scam artist or bad person. These are people who probably don't even know what reptiles are let alone how to keep them or have done any business with Kevin or know anything about him. He is one of the most straightforward honest person in the reptile business. Not only are his prices Beyond Fair. Not only are his prices beyond fair is he animals show up perfect and he goes out of this way to call make sure you're happy make sure everything is set up right if you have any concerns he will send pictures both ways weather you are concerned and send him a picture or you want pictures of what he's offering, he's the only person in this business that I know who will send multiple pictures of a $20 animal. Instead of. Instead of constantly calling him names and bashing on him why don't you order something from him, since he's such a quote and quote bad person order a $30 animal from him and see how well you get treated. I have received multiple animals from him. He is the only person I know who who will call you randomly weeks after purchases to make sure you're happy in the animals are okay how many other people in this reptile industry do that, not any that I am aware of. Kevin is professional, kind, understanding he is the only person I know who will call you randomly weeks after purchases to make sure you're happy in the animals are okay how many other people in this reptile industry do that, not any that I am aware of. Kevin is professional, kind, understanding and a wonderful person to do business with. Give him a shot, Kevin is the man.

I'm glad you had a good experience buying from Keven. Like everyone on the BOI, he is welcome to have happy customers post their experiences.

HOWEVER, the above quote is laughably false. No one here even knows what a reptile is? Is that why some of Keven's past "issues" were identified? Okay.......If you need to attack and put down others, then I don't put much stock in your support. No need to lambaste everyone on the BOI. Just say what your experience was, and leave it at that.
 
Keven Vogenberger = Great Guy

I picked up one of Keven's Blue Tongue's today. I couldn't be happier with it. Starting eating right away!

Thanks Kev!

You know damn well he didn't proposition anybody he is much more respect and integrity than to do something that's stupid or love for that matter. The pathetic thing about that statement is the person who wrote it who I would bet my life, sits behind a computer and would never actually say that to his face. I will vouch that that never happened and is probably the biggest wad of BS on fauna

Dude... I was calling out the troll for his BS.

But you wanna talk about the two identical PMs or messages I have in my e-mail account where you personally attack me without knowing who I am?

If you actually looked at the other thread about Keven you would have seen me and others acknowledge the guy claiming that Keven propositioned his wife was full of it. Also, if you actually looked at nlmiller1's posts on the BOI you'd know he was a troll.

Now, let's unpack this last line:
I suspect you're just jealous that he's attracted to women on like yourself who probably prefers Thumpers and dumpers
Click to expand...

First off, I'm asexual TYVM, so I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, and I'm sure as hell not into "Thumpers and dumpers" as you claim. Nor am I jealous of Keven being attracted to women. I don't really care who he's attracted to.

What I DO care about, is the fact that Keven, like you, is extremely immature, has made multiple "mistakes" and is depending on close personal friends (which you claim you are) to defend himself when his actions and attitude on the board is why he's got so many people against him.

Now, while I admit Is should have done something like "/Sarcasm" in my reply, that is no reason for you to personally attack me like that.

But thank you, for showing me that Keven and his friends are definitely not people I ever want to do business with even more than I already did.
 
All of these Keven threads are ridiculous. Every single person who writes a positive experience with Keven seems to have the internet persona of an eight year old kid between the rampant grammatical errors, the childish threats and insults, and the overall lack of maturity. If these are Keven's best clients, then sheesh, I think I'll move all my business elsewhere. These are all really poor letters of recommendation.
 
I don't believe Keven and Integrity have been introduced. He might want to try to pursue her before trying for Mandi.
 
And personally, threads coming from a "very close friend" don't hold much weight to me. Bias is implicit in those cases. I'm much more concerned about the kids he sold those sick frogs to or someone who doesn't know him but might have had a good experience. I mean, even a blind squirrel has to find a nut on occasion, right?

That is great. How long have you had it? How was it packed? What species/subspecies is it? Can you post a picture of your specimen?

I could not agree with you more. Do you think and or can the mods check, that these threads are not all indeed Kevin himself?

:iagree: and :exactly:!!! I suspect "something more fishy" is actually happening.

Very true. Also, very very eloquently put.

What, you do not think Litoria infrafrenata should look like that, me either!!! I wish that I took a screen shot of that add. I admit, I am very into frogs. But, I do not feel that it was hard to tell those specimens had "issues".

That is so so true. Thanks for making me laugh out loud, for real!
 
I've never kept a frog before and it was quite obvious those frogs had significant health issues. They looked like they had the equivalent of elephantiases. Really scary looking and I'm sure horribly painful for the poor animals. I hate to say it but I'm sure those frogs are dead now, unfortunately. I'm not sure Keven could have done anything to save them, but he sure as all get out didn't have to advertise them as something cool and new.
