    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....

Raptors being sold by Chris Keeney appear to be stolen property. In October or November of 2015 Chris and I started talking to Eabele de Rue about acquiring some Raptors for the US market. Chris wanted everything to go through him which I was fine with. Eabele gave me the price for my pair which I converted over to USD. I paid for my pair very quickly. Eabele said he was ready to ship in December to January time frame. Chris said he was adding the license to his brokers license and postponed shipping until May or June keeping me on hold. The Raptors were here over 2 weeks before I received mine and it was Eabele not Chris who told me they arrived in the USA and we're picked up by Chris.

Over the last two weeks I have been receiving PMs and calls from Eabele asking what is happening with Chris. He said he unfriended him on FB and won't respond to emails, etc...

That is when I learned Chris had actually received 18 Raptors from Eabele. He agreed to buy 6 himself, my pair that was paid for (Eabele will confirm) and 10 raptors (2014, 2015 or mixture of) to sell for Eabele. The agreement was Eabele would post them and Chris would ship them once sold.

This all climaxed today when I received several calls from Eabele who said he is going to have to pursue legal actions to recover his animals unless I could manage to go over and take possession of the Raptors for him since (I thought Chris and I were Friends). I was wrong because this is my last conversation with Chris. He has now blocked me also.

I am advising that no one buy Raptors from anyone but Garrett Peck or Eabele. Anyone else selling them may either be selling Pitayas or Neptors as Raptors or selling Eabeles stolen boas here from the USA.

See link to FB post with screenshot of my last conversation with Chris Keeney this afternoon 6/25/2016
 
Can you please specify which raptors you're talking about? Raptors can be anything from a leopard gecko morph to a bird of prey, and I'm probably not the only one unfamiliar with all the reptilian raptor morphs out there.

It is a specific boa gene/morph. Originating from, and worked with by, Eabele de Rue.
Google "raptor boa", or "raptor boa Eabele", for pics/info.

....
 
I removed the post I made of FB that's why the link doesn't work.

These are Raptor Boas from Eabele. You can PM Eabele directly for details. I have been dragged into the middle of those ordeal. I am trying to figure out how to remove this post and just let Eabele fight the fight

I did the link because I can't do the screenshot on Fauna from a phone. I don't want any deeper in the mess so you can contact Eabele de Rue directly through Facebook to ask about details. Above is everything I know and when Chris blocked me that spoke volumes and proved we were not friends. That's when I created this post to help Eabele since he is in Holland
 
There was no link at all in your OP, not a broken link.

The reason the rules for this site state that proof has to be added as attachments is due to precisely what you did: you deleted the Facebook post you made. BOI posts and attachments can't be edited or deleted.
 
Kevin, so you make this post and want us to research your claims??
And your going to have a very hard time trying to figure out how to delete this undeleteable post. BOIs can not be deleted. That's why it's a good idea to think long and hard before you post something here.
 
Well the whole story is there and when I get home I will post screen shot of PM between Chris and I. Eabele will also be looking at this post. I accidently didn't include link it wasn't deliberate

Ok I found your post in the Boa Constrictor Aficionados group, it's attached. Sorry if it's fuzzy, the picture of the screen shots was very small in BCA so I had to resize it up.

Eabele has the link for post. Chris has seen exact same posting on FB. He doesn't need to come here to defend himself and probably won't on FB either.
