    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....

Info *Kris Smalley : Disturbing photos

Okay not sure how to edit this.
These photos linked here were taken of Kris' reptile room.
A report has since been filed against him for neglect in Oregon by someone, unsure if anything has come of it.
 
I am beyond words like "disturbed" or "disgusted". "Horrified" comes much closer to describing the sick feeling in my stomach and tears in my eyes. Those poor, beautiful animals.

I'd like to see this Kris Smalley person forced to live in a 3x3x3 cube with nothing but a filthy water bowl and his own feces for company.
 
I wasn't sure what to even think when I opened this email. He's a fairly well known person in the Pacific NW. I can't even begin to imagine what those snakes are going through, what diseases and illnesses they have. I feel so saddened by this. I just feel lucky enough to not have snakes in my collection that were his.
 
Yes, those photos are disturbing. Horrible. Disgusting. They p%$ me off.

So, are you "flying.pygge" at Flickr? Who's photos are those, exactly?

Do you have anything other than some anonymous Flickr page of photos to prove those are photos of the snake room of someone named Kris Smalley?

And uh ... who is Kris Smalley?

As disgusting as those are, you gotta do better than link that page to make a case.
Unfortunately, your "reliable source" and someone who may or may not have filed a report for neglect is basically just hearsay and not proof of wrong-doing by somebody named Kris Smalley.
 
Oh man. :angry: I don't know who he is, but those are some of the most disgusting, infuriating, god-awful photos of negligence I have seen in QUITE a while.
 
That is not my flicker account, no. It's someone that used to live with Kris.

Just someone that lives in Oregon and keeps reptiles.

I've witnessed that room before, so other than a couple peoples words and photos,nothing can "prove" it I guess.

I don't know how all this works, I just wanted to make this known to people. Was suggested by a friend.

Thanks and sorry if I'm doing it "wrong"
 
No words. None that wouldn't get me banned anyway.

You're not really doing anything "Wrong" as this is an information thread and not specifically a "Good Guy" or "Bad Guy" thread, but the reasons people are asking for evidence of this person is to avoid false information being spread.

There is no doubt whoever owns those animals is a pathetic excuse for a human being, but the name doesn't ring a bell with me and, evidently, no one else thus far. So, it always sparks a bit of curiosity.

That's all.
 
Oh wow...disturbing is an understatement if I ever heard one. This is absolutely sick and the lowest level of "human" trash I have ever seen. The really terrible part is it is like pulling teeth to get any authorities to do anything about reptile abuse. If this were a puppy mill the advocacy groups would be all over it, yet this equivalent thereof is equally as bad if not worse. There is an exotic reptile store near where I live that has reptiles on display in these conditions including molded feces, green water dishes, mites everywhere, and even dead snakes mixed in with live. I have called just about every animal abuse line that I can and he is still in business. Sorry to vent but s*** like this really gets my blood boiling!
 
Wow... I got a 7ft "Pastel Square tail" boa from him 2.5 years ago. I'm no longer surprised that it arrived to me with a small abscess on its nose (that I didn't think was a big deal) didn't eat on several attempts and died while I was herping in Arizona.
 
wow that is horrible and makes me so mad that anybody could treat any living thing like that it makes me so mad and sad for all those amazing snakes I cant even say anything else about it, I only wonder what else he keeps in that kind of condition
 
This little 'joker' was appearently also telling people that he and I were partners and he was going to take over my operation when I retired. I am a ways off from retiring and there has NEVER been any business dealings between us, not to mention a partnership!
 
Those are awful, I almost threw up with the last dead female pic... Im not trying to say that anyone is better then anyone else, because we all miss certain things, but this looks like someone who just crammed animals into a room and was waiting for them to die :(
 
I don't think that he could delete them because I don't think that that is his account. I couldn't see someone being that stupid to post pix of his own animals in those filthy conditions. Seeing those pix makes me sick. I wish that I could find him, tie him up, and let everyone in the herp community kick him right in the nutts. Then, and only then, would I drop his sorry :censored: on the police's steps
 
I'm sorry for those of you that have had to deal with him and gotten sick animals out of it. You're right Angel that's not his account but rather someone that used to live with him. I don't know how to copy them when they're protected but I have a friend that tried to get screen shots.
 
To the OP,

I think the reason people are asking if you can backup what you are saying is because that could be anyone's snake room and not the person you state that it is.

On another note, whoever keeps their snake room like that definitely doesnt want much business, unless they are a taxidermy.
