Wow, sure is great coming back to something like this after visiting friends and family over the holidays. Joshua thanks for calling me and informing me about this thread.
First and foremost why exactly am I being referred to as "Andy from NERD"? Last I checked my last name is still Deitz and hasn't been changed to "from NERD". Which makes me wonder why exactly my place of employment is being brought up? Will, you have not missed one single opportunity to mention whom I work for which makes me believe that you are trying to slander the company I work for. NERD has absolutely nothing to do with this issue, so refer to me as "Andy" or "Andy Deitz" or "Andrew" or "Andrew Deitz" or "Andrew Michael Deitz" but leave my place of employment out of it.
Secondly, I am curious as to why this ended up on the BOI right away without you attempting to contact me, Will? I received no phone calls, no email, absolutely nothing.
Here is a link to a post I made on the Bob Clark Forums, along with a quote from there.

"I thought that my transaction with him went fine until the animal needed to be force-fed then mysteriously died. I took her to the vet and her entire chest cavity was filled with liver flukes
-ANDY DEITZ-"
When I received this animal from Michael she was approximately ten and a half to eleven foot long and tipping the scales at a whopping 16-18 lbs. He claimed that she was a great eater but that he hadn't been feeding her in hopes to get her hungry enough to take a rabbit. After getting her home and giving her a good once over I noticed the thermal burns on her belly. Apparently Michael having the hot spot on the freedom breeder rack set to 105 was a bit too hot? Needless to say I got that cleared up with triple antibiotic ointment, but could not get her to eat. I tried f/t rats, live rats, f/t rabbits, live rabbits, f/t chickens, and live chickens all to no avail. Like I said on Bob's forum, I ended up force feeding her due to my concerns about her weight. Two weeks later she passed away. Her body cavity was completely filled with liver flukes.
She was the pride of my collection while I had her and one of the prettiest snakes I have seen. But I have a feeling I will always remember her
That all said and done, I find it interesting that you yourself said in Tinley that the animal was Michaels, now your trying to come after me for it while Michael is conveniently behind bars. That coupled with the fact that you like to mention my place of employment, it seems to me that you are trying to get an animal that you're not entitled too, or looking for NERD animals to replace the calico. I don't see why else other then slander to mention NERD.
