Question about a breeder.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">This forum is provided exclusively for the discussion of specific persons or businesses in the herp industry.  You are welcome to inquire about an individual or business, as well as provide your experiences and relevant opinions in response to someone else's inquiries. </td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

Actually, the BOI is for inquiries as well - as this quote from the intro states.  Anyway, the essense of the question is has anyone done business with this company, regardless of how it was worded or how it was interpreted, that is the basic question in it - have you done business with "X".  All that really needed to be added to the thread was experiences or opinions about this particular breeder.  If I were Alex, I wouldn't have come back either after seeing some of the posts to this thread and the animosity with which they were written.  We're supposed to be here to help each other and provide advice and feedback, not squabble like school children.

Alex,
I checked out the site though I have had no personal dealings with this company and didn't find anything with a search of the BOI.  Some of the prices seem about right for wholesale but the higher end animals seem rather low.  You may be able to get a feel for the dealer by giving him a call and talking to him.  If the prices seem too good to be true, they usually are and I generally recommend following your gut instinct.

Best of luck whether you buy from them or not.  If you do, come back and let us know how it went.

LOL Neil, fingers getting tangled?  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>  No apologies needed, I'd just like to see us all get along.   <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
 
Dianne....I get along with "anybody" who wants to get along with me!! I am very quick to go off the handle, but, I'm also very quick to forgive and forget (to "most" people, anyway)....
I would "love" to see us ALL get along!! ....Neil
 
I really am slipping. How did I let this thread get by me without chiming in before now?

Alex,

I have no knowledge of the breeder you were inquiring about. As they do not deal in the reptiles that I am interested in.

Regarding how a post reflects on the person stating his/her point. I have been saying that for quite some time now. It is very true.

Now, in regards to myself as I can't speak for others, dealing with posting on forums. Anyone who is a regular here knows that so am I. As a matter of fact, I am a member of 5 boards and am even a moderator of 1. I do spend a lot of time on my computer. I don't deny it. I enjoy it. As for having nothing better to do. I'm now going to give y'all a little background into my life. As a means of clarification. Judge me how you will.

For several years, I WAS (emphasis on was) a gang member. A fact that I am not proud of. Hence, my previous posts about having a criminal record. I lived a hard and fast life. I have been shot and stabbed multiple times. I have been out of that lifestyle for nearly 6 years now. I have a beautiful wife and 2 wonderful children. My guardian angels I call them. Having lived that lifestyle, I now am a very internal person. Spent too long in the spotlight. My current life consists of driving truck, spending time with my family, and raising my snakes. I keep to myself. My family, my snakes, and my job are top priority. However, I need some time to myself. As does anyone. I choose to use the internet and message boards for several reasons. Entertainment value, information, resources, connections/contacts, and as a viable means of staying connected to the outside world. I am a people person and I like to talk. Regarding how I post. I am very vocal and very opinionated. At the same time, I have been criticized for being both too serious and not too serious. I try and establish a happy medium. I do not apologize for who and what I am. At the same time, I am cautious of how I come across and am perceived. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. That is just me. If I am perceived to be lame or unworthy of doing business with due to the time spent on my pc, so be it. If you are that judgmental and superficial as to take that approach, so be it. There is a flipside to that coin in return. But I will say 1 thing. I have met a lot of good and decent people via these message boards. And this I do not regret.

So there you have it. A little inside info into my mentality and life. Sorry for the extremely longwinded post. I just felt like explaining and speaking my mind. Judge me how you will.
 
Be careful John, judgements come very easily and quickly here.  But you are right in what you said.  The reason I got hot in the first place was I felt the original person on the post was asking something other than what the majority of people here thought when I read the post.  I am like Neil in the sense that I will not roll over and die when attacked, instead I fight back and I always fight to win !  I have stayed off this post because I was still too hot over some things that were said about me and I figured I was only hurting myself.  The funny thing is that no one was able to give Alex any real information, but the bickering between everyone has taken up three pages so far.  And if I spend time on my computer reading this board then who am I hurting and if I have an opinion should I keep it to myself ?  I really dont think so.  Anyway, who cares about an evil breeder like me anyway ? LMAO !!!

John...Believe it or not...I agree with everything you just said! Take me for who I am...or don't take me at all, it makes no difference to me....I speak my mind and let the chips fall where they may...
Of course...I didn't know you were in the Girl Scouts?? That's one tough little gang there, buddy!! lmao ....Neil

Let the judgments begin, Gary. My past is my past. I made mistakes. I have moved on and am no longer what I used to be. But I will not hide who I am or what I was. If people want to judge me for my past, so be it. I too can be very judgmental. I regret my past but am not ashamed of it. It helped me to build the character I have now and to become a better person. Thanks for the heads up, though.

Webslave-

Sorry for veering so far off topic. My response was derived from a post in which I felt a need to reply. I also did not feel a need to start a whole thread on my past.

Judge me how you will.
 
Garry by the time I got to your post I had read too many negative posts on two other sites and you and you post were the subjected to my misdirected frustration.  I don’t know you and you don’t know me and I went way off the handle on you and took out some frustrations.  Your right opinions are like a@$ wholes and if you have the right to keep yours to your self I certainly have that same right.  I should have practiced what I was preaching.  My bad I over did it and should have thought my post out more carefully.  I jumped the gun, I don’t know anything about you and should not have said some of the things I said.  Please accept my apology.
Trevor
 
Trevor...Believe me...I'm not trying to start anything, but...could you please explain this phrase for me?? I truly have no idea what you were trying to say?? ....Neil

.... and you and you post were the subjected to my misdirected frustration.
 
Trevor,

            Apology accepted, I am not the type of person to hold a grudge unless we had bad business between us, which we don't.  I jump the gun now and again myself, no harm done.  I do have a question for Neil though ..... What is it exactly your fingers are getting tangled in ?  Maybe I dont want to know,  Dianne did bring up a good point though.

I read Alex's post and to me it seemed like he was saying," I was thinking about ordering from PEEDEEREPTILES because I see something I like.  I am not sure though because the prices are low and that may be because the quality is low, does anybody know anything about them. Has anybody bought anything from them".  I think like others have said, he should have been more descriptive of exactly what he was inquiring about though.  This is just what I thought he was saying at first glance.  On another note I have seen some ads from PEEDEEREPTILES and I myself am wondering if anyone has dealt with them as of yet that could give a referance one way or the other. Thanks
 
I'll 2nd that Jason.  This post is the first I'd ever heard of PeeDee Reptiles.  After cruising the site, and seeing a few things I wouldn't mind looking into further, I'm wondering if anyone has done business with them and how it went.  Perhaps I'll start a new thread with thier name in the header.  Hopefully the Webslave doesn't mind too much as this thread has wandered seriously from the original post.
