    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.

    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....

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

Ok lets turn this around on your Mr. Bowels. What if all Matt's animals tested negative (including the ones he sold) except the one he got from you. What do you now say? Not a damn thing because the animal arrived from you in deplorable condition, and tested positive for a deadly virus. Therefore the animal came from you in a substandard condition and you are the one responsible for it 100%. Also I did read on the virus and the test results and they stated that the incubation period was longer than what the time was that Matt had the animal after receiving it from you but not long enough to have originated from him when he sold it to you.
 
Also I have not just heard 1 side of the story and believed it. We (including myself) have been shown physical proof fo this and made our decisions on that. You have been the one that has been playing scared little man and not responding to the questions put to you.
 
109 pages and Tim still can't manage to admit that he injected subcutaneous fluids to mask that snake's illness.
He may just be the most detestable BOI character to ever crawl out from under a rock.

Hey Tim....grow some balls and fess up.
 
Tim thinks that if all the other animals test negative that, that proves he is in the right,

Well Tim Matt was unhappy with the snake when he opened the box, you choose not to refund his money. It was found out later that the snake had the virus so what does that have to do with Matt wanting a refund ? Nothing ! The virus was a secondary blow.

Lets look at it like this, How long did Matt have the animal before you bought it ?

You did purchase a import aniamal, so Even if the snake had the virus it is not Matts fault because you purchased the import. Did Matt sell it to you with a vet record ? I did not think so. It was a imported animal, you take hits with them.
I like how you are the big man and can post big words.

Again you still sent a snake that Matt was not happy with, you chose to rip him off. You will never be released from your wrong doings.
 
WOW........amazing .....Tim finally speaks out .......LMAO

But u are still NOT answering the questions that we all are asking.......Why did u inject the girl with SQ fluids or any of the other things that u have been accused of ???????
U claim that all ur snakes have tested neg for the virus ......Where are the lab reports ????? Matter of fact where are Ralphs lab reports ????? The only ones I have seen are from the girl u shipped to Matt and she was POSITIVE.......Can u explain that ????? Can u explain why she showed up so overdosed with fluids that she should have been DOA?Oh wait ......Maybe thats what u wanted ........For her to show up DEAD ........Hmmmmm........Is that it Tim,that way u could blame it on the shipping ?????? But she didnt show up dead now did she ????? And u have been in hiding ever since ........

Makes a person who has only heard one side think that YES u are the BAD GUY in all of this ......Got anything to say about the actual deal or just more BS to keep dodging the issue ?????
 
She comes out of hiding. LOL

Speaking of dodging the issue Nett, care to post what your Vet said about this snake and the virus..........

Why are you dodging that issue?

Please tell everyone here what you told you know who on the phone regarding this very issue. :D

Help us all get to the truth about this virus Nett. What did your unbiased Vets say about it.


And you should be ashamed for sending those pics. That was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. But now I have something to use in my scared straight campaign for wayward youth drug offenders.

;)
 
Once again we see the Guilty party pointing fingers at another and not addressing the simple questions put forth to them. There is no reason EVER that you should have sent that animal out in that condition that you did and specially after making the person pre-pay that much for it. You are the textbook example of a BAD GUY period! No ifs, ands or buts about it. Tim just be a man and stop trying to pawn off your responsibility on others and quit trying to get away with being a dirt bag. You and you alone have ruined your reputation on this board, in the Arboreal arena, and elsewhere in most cases. People have seen this thread and what you have done and there is no way to lie and get away with it. I for one can't wait for the court hearing and would love to make the trip there just to see your face when the Judge finds in Matt's favor and orders you to pay ALL of his expenses.
 
I, for one, am very interested in hearing others results. If I remember correctly, many people involved with this thread have repeatedly asked for Tim's former and current customers to have their snakes tested, because the nature of this virus gives that if one in his collection has it, others will have it as well. So what happens, from what I can tell.. others have tested their snakes with *negative* results.

I could be wrong, but some of you complaining about him wanting others to show their reports.. are the same that were behind those people getting them. Do you not want to see the results since they do not seem to be coming in for your favor?

I guessed u miss this post ?????? LMAO

BTW ...Are u staying in Matts guest room in his house when u go to Florida for court on the 24th??????
 
what CAN be proven is that you have had in your possesion one of the most deadly and highly contagious Herp viruses known...

Yes this is true and it can and will be proven that the animal that had the virus was sold to me by Tim Bowles of Arboreals of the rainforest and she looked like this:

And the great packing job looked like this:

It seems to me a lot of care went into this shipment...what do you guys think?

I see someone is grasping for a lifeline by picking on Nett.....what a class act bringing up drug issues....somebody should be banned.
 
Since he has been misrepresented his quarantine practices to everyone, you have to ask yourselves this one important question,
Funny how I have not had 1 complaint about my quarantine practices yet. Well I certainly did a great job of quarantining the only two animals I ever bought from Tim Bowles. Lucky for me I guess. One had abad resp. infection upon arrival and the other....well we all know what was up with that animal

Still dodging ALL of the relevent questions I see.....

Did you knowingly send me a sick animal?

You said I unloaded her....yet you say there was nothing wrong with her when you shipped her....how can that be? If there was nothing wrong with her.....how could I have 'unloaded' her? I think this is kind of confusing....please explain this one

Don't be afraid to say whatever you want....we are all adults here

I dont know about that .......I have heard that ur wife is pretty bad .......LMAO ;)

And BTW .......Are u implying that I am a drug offender????? Isnt that a bit slanderous?????? :uhh:
 
Believe me Nett....he is done posting here for now. Don't waste your time. But if he does come around how about answering this simlpe question:

Did you knowingly send me a sick animal?

I think we all get the picture here
 
You should really read up on the virus and the tests results and know what your talking about before you speak Rob. You have only heard one side of the story and believed it all.
Well my side of the story is the truth. We have already heard many different versions of your side but I have stuck to one explination which is the truth so how can it not be believed.

So which version are you going by these days....All of the problems occured during shipping? UPS mishandled the box? The animal was in perfect condition when you shipped it? I unloaded the animal on you? I knew it was screwwd up when I bought it? Which one of these is the version of the week...I have heard so many now it's incredible.


So lets say for a hypothetical conversation that all my animals tested negative(with exception of the one that alleged to be positive), now what can you say Rob? That's right Rob, nothing intelligent but oops I guess I was a sucker for believing only one side of the story.
Rob....lets say for hypothetical conversation that I got shipped a healthy snake....would any of this be happening.....?
 
Matt,

It is ok I did not mind his attack on me. It just goes to show a little more of his mentality and intelligence. I did read up on the virus, did research, and came to my own conclusions from the proof that was shown. He knowingly sent the animal to you in such atrocious condition that he should be arrested for animal cruelty. I can't wait for the ruling you will be getting in court soon Matt.!
 
Not done posting Matty, but still waiting for Netts responce on the virus issue and her Vet stating that the animal didn't have it. OOOPS.

C'mon Nett, Tell these good folks what your Vet said.

Did you knowingly send me a sick animal?
Already answered that one to you King Lerer. How many more times must I do it for your slower than normal mentation to grasp it.

Next time you should hit record faster.
 
Not done posting Matty, but still waiting for Netts responce on the virus issue and her Vet stating that the animal didn't have it. OOOPS.
Considering the two vets that actually had the animal at their facility, the lab that did the work, and oh lets see.....the lab that did the pathology work ALL said the animal was infected....I would go with what they say and not someone that never saw the animal. If you would like to struggle to try and make yourself look innocent......go right ahead but in my opinion 100% of the people that have seen all of the evidence have a very good idea of what happened

I also don't remember you answering the question so answer it again....

Did you knowingly send me a sick snake.....and explain all of your lame excuses to everyone here.

How can you possibly send a snake in perfect condition and then later say I unloaded the animal?

How can you say I bought the snake knowing all of this was wrong with it and you then say that all of the damage occured during shipping?

If I were you I would get my stories straight BEFORE the 24th because judges don't like inconsistancies in stories and non truths in their courtroom.
 
If you had lost over a grand from someones sick and infested animal spreading its disease in you colony, you would be upset too.
That was a line that Tim Bowles of Arboreals of the Rainforest posted on the Joe P. thread he started on the BOI. How about if you paid $2,500.00 up front for an emerald and you got this would you be upset?

Luckily the one I got from Arboreals of the Rainforest didn't have a chance to spread it's disease here before its demise. Class act and quality animals all the way
