    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....

Need info on Chris Perry

Chris Perry: Perry didn't play at all in 2004 after being the team's first-round draft choice. He enters 2005 competing with veteran Kenny Watson to be the second-string RB behind Rudi Johnson. Perry entered the NFL with a lot of ability from Michigan but has yet to display it on the field. Until he does, he should be handled with kid gloves. Fantasy owners want to cash in on the next sleeper running back, but as long as Johnson is healthy, Perry won't be it. He has minimal Fantasy value and is worth a late-round flier. :raspberry
 
I dont have a clue... Just wonder if that noone has delt with them shoudl I be alittle weary???
 
The B.O.I. is a great tool for all us herpers, but it can be a double edge sword! My case in point, for 7 years I have been buying and raising all my babies, this year was my first attempt at breeding,I had a great year, only now I have 80 gorgeous babys and people are wary of dealing with the new guy. See my point? He has 3 ads on K.S. and his babys look nice,but today is that enought? I can usualy tell alot about a person with just a phone call.Good luck.

The key to what you said Rick is that the B.O.I. is a TOOL. It should not be the end all be all when it comes to making a decision to buy or not to buy. Of course, if there are ten threads and all of them are bad guy threads, then that should make it a pretty easy decision, but not having any threads on the BOI doesn't mean all that much.

New guys in the business will have it tough regardless, plus just because the BOI hasn't heard of him, doesn't mean he isn't on the up and up. I'm sure when I started no one had heard of me either. However, I had references from some solid people in the industry, they just never come to the BOI.

My suggestion would be to contact Mr. Perry, introduce yourself and let him know what you are interested in, then ask him to provide you with some references. At a minimum he should be able to provide you with the people he got his founding stock from, if he can't provide any verifiable references, then I would be wary.

The thing about being new is the scammers are always making up new names after being caught, so the new guy/gal on the block has that already going against him/her.
 
So in the meantime, what do I do with all these gorgeous babys? LOL. I believe if you bought a bunch of animals (in a few year span) and all went well, you can't be all bad. If you can't buy an animal without a problem, odds are you can't sell an animal without a problem.

Send them to me?
:hehe:

Seriously, talk to the people you bought from, let them know that you would like to use them as a reference. State in your ads that references are available, if/when a potential buyer contacts you provide them with your list of references and tell them to feel free to verify them. It will be the final decision of the buyer of course, but personally, big name or new guy, if I feel comfortable when talking to a person and they are honest about who they purchased their animals from and willing to provide pics of the animals and verifiable references, I have no problem sending them my money.
 
Well I did email him and got some refrences.. One of the gentle man he included was Tim Koppenhoffer at Special K.. I have delt with Tim numerous times and trust his call so I beleive I give him a try as Tim said it was a good deal:)... On those babies, you can send them to me Rick.lol.. I woudl advertise the heck out of them and just ask that soemone report their dealings with you.. If you sell 5 babies them one of those customers is bound to have acess to the BOI:)
 
I looked all over his site and didnt see any contact info other than an email addy..
