Need opinions on a bad deal with Tim Bowles of Arboreals of the Rainforest!!!

Watch the 'smugglers caught in the act' comment because that is a lie and you are definately slanderous or liable whichever one you want to add to your current problem.

So how many turtles didn't you have in your pants when you weren't caught?

How many guys didn't you rat out when you weren't caught?

And finally,
Jim wanted to add his deal in this it makes him fair game. Sory King Lerer, you talked him into jumping in the deep end and now he can't stay above water. That's why he paid.


And Jimbo
Feel free to stop by any time. I would love to see you again.

I dont need to speak bad about you or stoop low to make you look bad, your pathetic attempt to steal from me is all I needed. Thanks for being just stupid enought to put it in emails and proving my points accurate. It makes great evidence for situations just like yours. Think about Jimbo. LOL

I am still waiting for you "results" that you are so worried about getting. Talk about a known scam artist. First with Buddy who didnt even sell you the snake you couldnt get to feed, then again with Ralph months after you got it.

Your history is well known Jim.

Next.........
 
Jimbo the Liar.

Wanna see some of my proof. That makes it the truth not libel.

Don't know what to tell you, except Bobby has allready picked the animal up. I cannot give you again what I do not have. Maybe Bobby is now the scammer, Like you were to Matt but in a diffrent way, As you see I guess Freinds turn on freinds. I gave the animal up talk to Bobby that came and got it.
Thank you,

If Bobby has it then why did you pay and why do you still have it?

Wait, I know, it's because you lied. That makes you a LIAR. See how easy that is Jimbo.

Now feel free to spend some of your orthodontists money and sue me for telling the truth.
JIM SCHARPHORN IS A LIAR.
 
Tim,

You know what? Your starting to sound like a couple of other proven bad guys on this board. You are still doing everything you can to avoid the true issue. You shipped a sick dying animal to Matt, you still have not issued a refund for that animal and now are again trying to shift focus onto others so that you can fly under the radar. Well you can't....too many people know what you did to Matt and that you are a business not to be trusted ever again. Issue the refund to Matt and try and salvage a little of your business again.
 
Tim Bowles....

Hey Tim, why wont you adress the real matter here, which is the snake you sent Matt? Stop saying stuff to Jim, its getting really stupid.


TIM BOWLES IS THE ONLY LIAR HERE!
 
Since it was brought up earlier and replied to.. was just looking for a clearification. Also.. if this has been turned to an ethical debate.. I do think its relevant.. but.. not gonna push too hard to find out what happened..

You seem to be good with the net.....look it up for yourself.

Boy Tim you are here for awhile I see.....lets hear about the perfect condition you guys told me my snake was in before you shipped her? You know the eye-spotter that died shortly after.
 
Ya Tim, I should have just keep to my lie to you. Except I did it to piss you off and get you worried. But 1 thing, my lie only lasted for 2 days Yours is on going and still going.


Lets see the proof you have on my supposible known puker !! And not just a one time puker. You have no proof you are just trying to shift all this and its not going to work.

The only theif here is you.
And I will go to my grave keeping it alive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And making sure no one forgets.

Never forget never surrender.

...On another note I have a good friend that bought a male emerald from Arboreals of the Rainforest and the emerald tested NEGATIVE for the Paramyxo virus!...

Thanks.


Jimbo,

I think your next. Time to do it and prove me right again, you LIAR.
 
Lets see the proof you have on my supposible known puker !!
OK, how about your own admissions of it being a puker?

And it is no secret that that emerald is eating birds. I have posted it here on this forum a few times. it still eats birds it wont eat mice. It ate a bird one day and I threw a mouse in there the next day. it ate it and puked it up 2 days later. I am sure I am not the only one that had a puker... And it has only been eating about once every 3 to 4 months....


Jimbo the Liar,
Feed it a mouse again. LOL
Feeding it birds is just what some known puker salesmans do to keep it alive long enough to sell it off. Ask around you will see you are the only one in denial about it being a puker, even after you admitted it as proven in your above post.
 
MORE PROOF???

The only thing that proves is that particular animal didn't have the Paramyxo virus.....but the one I paid you $2,500.00 for DID and it is now dead.
 
The only animal that allegedly tested positive came from Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles and was sold back to Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles. This same animal in question had a nice long stay at Matt's, where is was in close proximity to his entire collection and several of the animals he sold to Tony Nicoli of Awesome Arboreals (who keeps vipers by the way) before Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles unloaded it. I seem to remember pics of this animal hanging in the same tree as all the special "k" animals Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles sold to Tony Nicoli of Awesome Arboreals. I sure hope Tony and all the people that Tony and Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles sold animals to has their collections tested. Especially since Tony is Matt's breeding partner per Matt's own admissions and all roads are leading back to Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles' collection.

I now of only one animal that allegedly tested positive and it came from Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles.

None of mine have tested positive.
(Proof will be provided when needed.)

Now back to the question you never answered, why are you telling people that Jeff Hudson must be selling off sick animals?
 
Let me start by saying a few things up front. I do not keep and have never kept aboreal boas or pythons of any sort. As such I have never dealt or spoken with either parties involved.

That being said, Tim I have one question for you that you seem to be avoiding.

This snake that is the only snake to test positive, the snake that matt sold to you and you sold back to matt....yada yada yada...the whole reason for this thread. The question is this

WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE FOR SHIPPING A SNAKE IN THAT CONDITION TO MATT.

That question is plain and simple, yet has not been answered. I personally could give a ____ about you king lear lines, and all this back and fourth stuff you have to say. I want to know how anyone ANYONE could justify shipping that snake.

Untill you answer that question, why not leave all the other bs out of this thread.

(Proof will be provided when needed.)

tim, now is the time that proof is needed. Pictures of each snake tested and a vet report with a number that the vet can be reached at to verify the tests.

If you care what is thought of you here, which is doubtful, you will provide uncontroverible proof of what you say. Not stall, not change the subject to someone or something else, not say your lawyer said not to talk about it as you have been doing lots of talking the last few days or any other excuse.

If you don't care what is thought of you here, which seems likely, then why do you keep coming here? Just to stir up trouble? I don't think that's working too well either. I, for one, would like to see this proof you speak of.

Actually the only animal that tested positive for the Paramyxo virus came from your collection and was sold to me.

This is what she looked like when she was sold to Arboreals of the Rainforest/Tim Bowles
NLFEMALEcopy.sized.jpg

For a few months all I ever heard is how great she was doing and how pleased you were.

Nine months after you bought her this is what I paid $2,500.00 for UP FRONT, and only UP FRONT. This is what she looked like just after getting her from Arboreals of the Rainforest/Tim Bowles.

Enough said and I will say no more about this issue until it is resolved.

Now back to the question you never answered, why are you telling people that Jeff Hudson must be selling off sick animals?
Start another thread and stop trying to change the subject of this thread. Read the Thread title or have your 'lawyer' read it to you and stick to the subject which is the snake that you got $2,500.00 for.

I do now see that you are saying that I 'unloaded' the snake on you.....is that why you did this to me? She started to not do well and you wanted to get back at me? Is this what happened? Just questions and nothing else.
 
Arboreals of the Rainforest said:

No. It came from you. You had the snake for 9 MONTHS and then sold it back to Matt, infected. Explain that. And explain the sub-cutaneous injections. You keep avoiding these questions and attempting to shift the focus of this thread to others. It is not going to work.

Arboreals of the Rainforest said:
None of mine have tested positive.

Again, one has. The one you sold to Matt.
 
You I can't figure this guy out here...

This same animal in question had a nice long stay at Matt's, where is was in close proximity to his entire collection and several of the animals he sold to Tony Nicoli of Awesome Arboreals (who keeps vipers by the way) before Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles unloaded it. I seem to remember pics of this animal hanging in the same tree as all the special "k" animals Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles sold to Tony Nicoli of Awesome Arboreals. I sure hope Tony and all the people that Tony and Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles sold animals to has their collections tested.
What a joke. Tony Nicoli is one of the most respected and trusted breeders in this hobby and here in my opinion is Tim Bowles trying to make Tony Nicoli look like a bad guy.

What did Tony ever do to you Tim?
Did he ever screw you?

Wait a second......are you mad at Tony because I sold him the dark phase 'Basin' you were telling me I should sell you at my cost? I offered you the snake for what I thought was a good price and you said no. Then I offered him to Tony for substantionally more (which included some trade which is why it worked out to be more) and he accepted. Well you shouldn't be mad because of my own fault the animal threw up twice and I would no longer sell him to anyone. That's what happens when you give a small emerald WAY too big a meal. Although I am glad to report he hasn't had any incidences since then, whew!

If you are going to respond to this thread keep it on the subject matter and don't make this your own personal vendetta arena.
 
Tim, you are a complete moron and a theif and a lier.

Boy that was a good one, posting that my snake is a known puker LOL LOL LOL LOL

I admitted to that one time puker. LOL LOL LOL

What makes this snake a known puker ??? It puked once that was close to 2 years ago.

And as far as it beiing sold to me as a puker and being kept alive by feeding it birds . HERE again you are making speculations.
WHY DONT YOU GET SOME FACTS>

I bought that snake over 2 years ago as a gravid Import. It was not eating for the guy that had it. If you feel it is a known puker why dont you rag on the guy that sold it to me, Its not my fault it puked. BUT HEY WHY WOULD YOU RAG ON BAD SELLERS YOUR ONE YOURSELF.

I got it to eat a bird because it would not eat mice or rats, So I tried a bird and it ate. I fed it a mouse the very next day and it puked the mouse up 2 days later. I guys it new what it was. It never gurged the bird up.

Now quit try to shift my sick animals when your the one that sent a proven sick animal out.
YOU ARE THE BAD GUY> NOT ME

I never screwed you but you have screwed me buy SELLING ME 1.1 chondros that ended up being 2.0 adults at that. Hard to sex them snakes HUH

You are a wantaby and will never be anything else.

None of mine have tested positive.
(Proof will be provided when needed.)

Now back to the question you never answered, why are you telling people that Jeff Hudson must be selling off sick animals?

Stop twisting King Lerer and answer the question. It should prove enlightening to everyone as to your motives.

And Jimbo the Liar,
Dam Jimbo, learn how to spell and type. You yourself just admitted again it puked.
If it pukes up mice and eats only birds, than it's a puker. If everyone knows about it than it's known. Try to follow along Jimbo, it's not that hard. You asked for proof I posted your statements about the animal.
How many of those new babies have been infected by it?
 
Tim bowles.... :O

Tim, once again you are trying to sway the topic. Stop makin fun of Jim, its really getting old. He has done more in the hobby then you ever will! So what if one of his snakes only eats birds, at least he admitted it. Hes way more of a man than you will ever be! You wont even discuss the snake you sent matt. You keep saying test results will be provided when needed, well they are needed! What is all this crap your trying to stir up about jeff hudson? No one really cares! Stop talking about other things and tell us why you sent that snake to Matt!

Jim intentionally lied to Tim and admitted it here... thats really stupid.
 
Well since you are beating the Jeff Hudson thing to a pulp he must be very happy that YOU keep bringing up the subject on a very PUBLIC forum. He must be all warm inside that YOU keep bringing it up and I have never once said a word on any forum about Jeff having sick animals. As far as I know Jeff has kick butt animals and I would love to own any number of them! He just sold three animals that I know of and the two guys are extremely happy with them. Man I would give anything to get a hold of Rolandos animal!

So why are YOU making Jeff look bad in public? If I did say anything to people in private why would YOU bring it to public speculation? Does that help Jeff, I think not!
Why are you making Tony Nicoli who has never done anything wrong to you, look bad in public?
What are your motives here for the bashing of these two people that have combined the finest animals on the planet? Is it to try and make ME look bad? Would YOU do that?

You tell me and everyone else here my motives Tim Bowles of 'Arboreals of the Rainforest'. Fill us all in with your factful words. What's wrong....lawyer got your tounge?
