    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....

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

Shades of Joe Polanco! Isn't this exactly the way JoeP would talk?

So what are you doing, Tim??? You send out a sick snake then sue everyone to keep them from talking about it???

Great plan! What is the overhead on every snake you sell that way???

Rob,
Because that is all you have seen thus far. Only one side.
Funny, I could have sworn you werent on the phone that night. Or the call proir to his and the very next call back to my lawyers.
The invitations I was refering to and will be sending out will be via the legal system. Put some thought into it and figure out my message. It's not a threat but a promise we are making. ;)

Post away all. ;)

Ohhh.......A promise ...Well now...We are all shaking in fear of u and ur swarm of lawyers.......LMFAO

And I do believe that Matt didnt say anything about sueing u until u told him that the snake got dehydrated and then injected with SQ fluids from being shipped.......LMAO

WOW......I am sure that UPS would love to hear that they are now injecting SQ fluids into thier live animal shippments........

Give it up Tim ......Ur not even funny anymore .......Ur just plain sad :(
 
Hey Tim Bowles,
Who does this remind you of?


Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses, And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!
 
Okay, I had promised myself I'd stay away from this train wreck, but I was never the best at keeping promises to myself anyway. ;)

Tim, your attitude here is just plain sad, and atrocious. To think you were one of the biggest watchdogs here. You were a huge participant in this site. You stayed well on top of the whole Joe Puker thing.

Now look at you. You ARE the new Joe P. now.

And you complain about those of us here seeing only one side. Well gee smart guy, why not post your information so we can get a balanced look, huh? Nope. Instead you throw out juvenile insults and penny ante "wait until my lawyer blah blah blah" threats. Do you even really HAVE a lawyer?

You know, these "wait and see what I've got up my sleeves" type rants are exactly the same as the ones Neil Gubitz used to throw out(not trying to make a personal shot at Neil, I'm actually glad to see him back). They went NOWHERE. Just as your threats are now going. Nowhere. I personally think you're bluffing your arse off and it's not working.

And what is the "promise," eh? Are you and Rob supposed to meet in the playground after 3rd period? I guess I'm an idiot because I don't follow your line of thinking on this one.

I don't know what happened to you man, but you are a disgrace. Maybe you should call up your old pal Joe Puker so he can give you some tips.
 
I have no idea how the court issues will be settled between Matt and Tim (if they ever are settled, that is), but one thing is for absolute certain: Tim has lost all credibility on this board.

That may not impress Tim very much, but I have found that there are precious few corners of the world in which a man can be known for what he is. It's a great shame that someone like Tim had to spoil this little corner for himself, when he used to be such a valued part of it.

No court decision, either way it bounces, is going to make up for the way in which you have treated everyone here, Tim. You have become exactly the kind of hit and run poster that you used to denounce at every turn. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, but I doubt you are. How sad.

Really Nett?

Where did Mr. Lerer go? I want to here him say this lie.

You guys have just helped prove some more of my case against Mr. Lerer.

Keep posting, your doing a great job.
 
And that would be what Tim? What case? The case that YOU sold him a sick and dying snake? The case that it tested positive for paramyxovirus? The case that you injected it with fluids prior to shipment?

Yep, Tim, I think those cases are pretty much open and shut. And as far as your little, "just wait/thanks for making my case/I've got proof," stuff, save it. You're mouthing off and it appears you have absolutely nothing to back up what you are saying. You LOSE Tim Bowels.

No not really ....Just messsing with u .......But thanks again for taking the bait .........LMAO

U are way to easy ........LMFAO

Hey BTW ........Since ur having ur legal team watch Matt ......Just how much is that costing u ??????? And isnt that stalking ??????? OH MY GOD .......LMAO
 
Yeah, this is so cool.

What Tim is trying to convince us of is that there is a perfectly justifiable and legal reason for him to have sent an animal that is not only obviously on deaths doorstep, but also infected with a highly contagious infectious disease that has been known to wipe out entire collections. And for this the buyer was completely obligated to pay a stiff figure for the pleasure of receiving this package. And Tim implies that he has also convinced his legal team that this is all perfectly normal, above board, and legal enough for them to take their case and defend his actions. You paid those attorneys in advance, right Tim? And they promised you, no guarantees, right? I'll bet they all had big grins on their faces as well, didn't they???

If those attorneys are taking this case on a contingency basis, please give me their names and phone numbers. Then I am going to go out, slap a price sticker on the Brooklyn bridge, and give those guys the deal of a lifetime. I'll even pay you a finders fee.
 
This thread had run it's course, and even the guy who started it was trying to sign off; so Tim Bowles comes back like a moron and instantly generates another 1,300 negative views of himself when we were starting to forget about him. What's with that?

Hey Tim Bowles,

You are the guy they invented the phrase "digging your own grave" for. They all love you on this site.

Tim,

where do you come up with these stories? No one said a word about any smuggled animals much less a Suriname animal. You really are trying to hard to point blame (on anything you can) away from yourself.
 
smuggled?

i believe this snake has been state side for much of its life"dog tame" isnt usually something you would find in a recent wild caught animal is it, unless maybe matt got it from you and you smuggled it? matt - post any history you have on this girl, lets see how much tim knows about whatever he thinks he knows, i would think this is very slanderous if it in fact is not the truth as its not to my knowledge a fact based accusation? as in fact we all have the records from the vet you posted that are fact based, d

Smuggled

Hey Damien,

I absolutely do NOT deal in smuggled animals and I am very shocked and embarrassed that this was posted, it was uncalled for and very unprofessional. You are a new customer of mine and I want you to have the highest amount of trust in me because I supply the arboreal community with some of the finest, legal arboreals around. Thanks for the concern in the e-mail but I can assure you she is completely legal. If you feel you need it now after seeing what was posted, I have the cleared paperwork for the patternless animal and would be happy to furnish it for you. Again, sorry this was thrown at you in such a poor manner and I hope nothing like this never happens again.
