    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....

Inquiry MJC Serpents...

Wait a minute!

Let me get this straight,

I'm being blacklisted from a 18 year old's Facebook page that has been keeping snakes since she was 17 and has very little experience? Well, besides flipping animals for a year. Someone who has never successfully paired or purposely propagated a single snake.

I sure am going to be excluded from some quality reading material.
 
Not only did I make her list, she also left karma....how about the rest of you? She can't handle criticism, it just shows her immaturity. Some day she will grow up and realize what she had done her and kick herself is the a$$ for it. I am not concerned about an 18 year old kid with little experience ruining my rep....lol
 
I did not do a karma thing. I do not know how to do that and i wont. It must be someone else. Dont get yourself excited.

They're all gonna LAFF at you... Laff at you, laff at you!

You are truly something else. For someone who claims to have love passion and pride for these animals and the hobby you are doing nothing to show you really do. Actions always speak louder than words, and you are only worth the words you speak. Surely it's a good indicator that you really don't care about the animals, the hobby, or the people's animals you are selling to. When I was 18 I had a cocky attitude, thought I knew it all, but at the end of the day... If I had something to prove, it would be done immediately. The only person to blame is yourself. Going on Facebook and making a blacklist of people who actually care about their animals was dumb, because now the unfortunate people that actually take your misinformed and misguided words will not know quality and waste their money, as well as risk their entire collection because you want to be an arrogant child. It's so easy to see you are in the wrong, it's so ridiculous for you to think after a month you can diagnose a snake free of IBD when you are not a vet but a child. Get your act together.. If not to prove to the hobby you don't have ibd, then do it for the sake of your animals that you supposedly love. Because right now... You aren't showing them any... Especially putting snakes with cats and birds.. Dumb move.

In essence, stop being a cocky, arrogant, stubborn child... Or to put it simply for you... Grow up.

My 2 cents
 
Hey Mindy, let's add keeping an exanthematicus completely incorrectly to your list of boneheaded exploits.

Enclosure - too small.

Substrate - completely incorrect.

Screen top - monitor jerky machine.

I've seen plenty of people stick a foot or two in their mouth, you appear to have the unique ability to do so while shoving your head up your rectum. Maybe you should try your hand at keeping rocks as pets.
 
I'd be hesitant to buy from her.

She just recently posted in her group on facebook about a snake in her collection dying of IBD.


I'd be hesitant to buy from her as well. I think the subject IBD is serious, and I also think that keeping our critters safe and healthy through knowledgeable keeping practices and quarantine is important.
I am honored to be listed with the other names I see. The names all represent thoughtful people, outstanding champions of knowledge and ethics.

But I in no way think that those on the list are an exclusive group. It is a fact that in any community, some people are quieter, others are more vocal. That is neither good nor bad, it is simply the way they are. So while I respect those named, I can't but help think there is a large silent majority that is just as concerned with reptile health and seller ethics (or, in this case, the lack thereof).

By blacklisting this group in my opinion, Mindy seems to be firmly divorcing herself from the subjects of knowledge and ethics and sided instead with juvenile soap opera shenanigans.
Ordinarily I would say that people are free to make fools of themselves (as she has done here) but the path she has chosen seems to me will inevitably put her poor critters at a disadvantage and so I feel her choice is a sad one for them. :(
 
So she's posting our names on fb saying no one should sell to us or buy from us? I wouldn't shop in Andy's store or buy from mindy if they were the last people on earth selling reptiles lmao.. it's ok I'll remember that.. their business will be ancient history in a short time.. and I wouldn't sell them a pet rock lmao but she wants to talk about slander and such what is she doing? I've never said a bad thing about her all I've done is repost the things she has said..

Hey Dennis, Lucille, Jen.......looks like you guys made Mindys list like I did. She is going around facebook saying this is the blacklist.
Mindy, you are pathetic. Can't take people calling you out for your crappy husbandry and ethics?
 
Where is that list posted? I'd like to get screen shots myself. I'd like to send copies of everything to my lawyer this morning.. Mindy google libel and defamation.
 
She creeps and creeps yet nothing to say... It's sad. You've ruined yourself. You inevitably have ruined another mans reputation with you as well. Pathetic. You would think you'd grow up, but I guess not. Some people are ok with being subpar and just trying to make a quick buck.

By the way.. Blacklisting me doesn't really matter... I don't own ball pythons, I don't claim to breed them, I don't sell them, not do I have a Facebook page. But hey, have fun, because it keeps away all the horrible potential customers of the future that are cool with you. I'm down with that, it's like a free security system.
 
I remember when I was 12...

My 12 year old is more mature, responsible and knowledgeable about reptiles. She has her own and takes amazing care of them! I made her do extensive research and even write something showing she really did the research before I allowed her to get her own (she even bought them with her own money). Not all 12 year olds are as immature and irresponsible as mindy!
 
Mindy is definitely online and still reading this. She's posting on Facebook using Andy's business account. It's obviously her.. so my question is does andy really know what's going on? Has he even read this? If she has access to all his accounts who's to say shes not answering emails and such for him. I'd really like to see Andy come here and speak for himself (after he proves it's him and not mindy speaking for him). And no! No one is going to call him! It takes a few minutes to create an account.. If you care about your business as much as you say it's well worth the few minutes to defend yourself and business!

I'm still relatively new to the reptile world and I'm honored to be on your blacklist with some of the new friends I've made here on Fauna. Especially people like Alicia who have become friends simply because of this thread.

Mindy, all your list has done is show how arrogant and stubborn you are. A majority of us had put this topic to the back of our minds knowing that we're not going to buy from you EVER and if anyone asks about you, we simply give them the link to this thread. You just keep bumping yourself up to the top of the BOI and further proving that we will still not buy from you. The power of several is more powerful than the power of one misinformed little girl.
 
She's posting about people "slandering" on the business fb site? Someone didn't go to business school, or marketing, or psychology, or logic. I'm sure her boss is happy about that one.
