    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.

    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....

Like I said I dont think Josh handled this the right was weather is wrong or right he stilled was not talkred to right from the start. If so then this thread would have not gone in the manner it has. That is where everyone that has replied to me refuses to see. Your guys are garbing at straws. Picking on this and that but look how Josh was treated. I did not see any respect toward him in the first 3 pages and so through the rst of this thread. Again he got jumped on like a pack of doges attacked him . I would have no problem selling to Josh if he wanted my animals.

Vinny, I know you're trying to compensate for a disability, but people weren't just jumping out of nowhere to tear this guy apart. He started a thread with no proof, and when asked for it said that he didn't care if anyone believed him or not. This is not how one starts a BOI, this is how one starts a fight.
 
Use common sense. You said you shipped a lot of snskes over the years how many dead hatchlings did your customers receive. Like I said I heard nothing but good things about you. Now you can take the ignorant meter and put your name on it. Being a nasty dodes not slove anything. Just shows what kind of person you are inside. If you got soomething be mature about it


It's like trying to reason with a rock....I give up Vinny....post away
 
Yes but ask yourself what did it arrive dead in the first place. The replacement was nice of doc but does not explain why it was dead and the others looked thin does it.

How do you know they looked thin? No photos were ever provided!

Just from the OP's posts in this one thread... I cant go on simply his word. As to why only one died.... no one will ever know. But I have gotten in shipments where some made the trip and some did not. The ones that did not didn't look like they had anything physically wrong with them. The only thing I can come up with was the stress of shipping. :shrug01:

I took the necessary documentation for them and for me if I needed it. I contacted the seller and they made it right.

Your totally out of line when you say trying to compensate for a disability. What kinda of crap is that. the only disability I have is a eye had coordination and dyslexia. What the hell does that have to do with what my opinion. Now you are talk and making not a bit of sense.

Sorry if he started the thread wrong there was a nice way to put it and that was not done

You yourself described it as a disability when we first met. It was only until a third party messaged me after the fact that I heard you say anything about it other than that you had a disability. I can find the thread, if you disagree. Are you saying the dyslexia has no effect on your reading comprehension? I sincerely wasn't trying to be condescending or mean.

Did you get a them to a vet to see why they died. Nope so you have no idea if the animals that died on you were ill or not in the best of health. All you know is they looked good you got to be kidding me. I never received no have I sent out snakes that died during a Express shipment . The only problem I ever had was I sent a snake to Carlos and put the wrong zip code . They were on the runway ready to be shipped back to me and Carlos got them to open the shipping crate and it was on the top of the shipment and got cooked. That big metal container was in the hot sun for hours. Other than that Never a dead animalin the box that i can remember. If I'm wrong I wish that someone can come forward and correct me. I sold hatchlings to the UK ask Cornmorphs how many arrived dead. Now they went from my place to Glades herp for 10 to 14 day before being sent to Germany to the Hamm show and then a trip to England one snake gave him trouble eating then died a while latter which he has a 75 dollar credit on his next shipment

That's great Vinny... but this thread isn't about you and your shipping experiences, it's about Josh and Dr. Walker's.

Let me spell it out for you Vinny.... Crested geckos + heat when not needed induces stress/heat related deaths. They were dead due to the heat and stress from shipment. The heat pack was not needed... but it was in the box. I am not just some Noob that just got into herps... I've been doing this for a while now.

No you are total wrong when I was 10 they were going to throw me in a class next to the health learning classes. My mom made a stink and they sent me to be evaluated by a shrink. The gave me many test and I was worried what the outcome would be . my mom had to go to the school to get the results. I was at a friends house so they could watch me while sh got the results. When she returned she looked pissed off and started cursing at me and starting hitting me. They had to pull her off me. Turns out yes those two things were holding me back in school the Eye hand coordination problem and the dyslexia . The other news it what got the crap kicked out of me. They found out I'm above average intelligence and had a photographic memory. They wanted to put me in second from the top class in my grade where all the really smart kids that were doing work 2 grades ahead of the rest of my grade. that is how I know about my disabilities. Now when it come to remembering thing I damm good if I care, if I glance at something well just like everyone else I can get mixed up like I did with 2 people on this thread. I hope that explains everything
 
Vinny.... I feel your pain on the hand eye coordination. I had to go thur years of sessions when I was younger to improve mine. I hated it at the time... but Im glad my folks forced me to do it.

Now you are talking apples and oranges. Stick to the subject corn Snakes very hardy not like CG. Dont try to prove your point when we are talking about snakes you bring up a fragile animal like a CG. How many dead baby snakes have you received over the years.

I'm sorry to hear about that Vinny, however, this thread is NOT about you, or your problems, shipping to Hamm, etc. PLEASE stay on topic.

I had my left eye was lazy I had to got to a eye place for a year or to till I could make my eyes work together. I had to where glasses at home to do eye exercise's It sucked. Now I'm fine but not even Martial Arts worked it helped a tiny bit but as soon as I stoped working out everything went back to normal.

I'm glad yours went away. Mine did not I even switch words around in a sentence. Thanx for the kind words

So I was explaining why I didn't need a vet to tell me they died from heat/stress related problems.

I answered your question.. .so dont go getting all holier than thou on me stating I dont need to prove a point using a frailer (sp?) species.

Instead of aruging with me.. .why not take that time to go back and read the whole thread?

Oh.. it aint gone completely.. I still have the lazy eye... but I deal with it.

it would have not been brought up I would not have had to explain my problem. Now the Hamm sow it totaly on topic how does my corns go from me to Fl held for 2 weeks and then shipped to Germany then a road trip to the UK and a baby snake dies in a overnight shipment from DE to Fl.
 
If memory serves me correctly... the baby snake was replace going solely on the OP's word. I dont think the seller even asked for photo documentation of the dead snake. Why would you not photograph a dead snake... this is common sense when dealing with internet deals. So it was never even proven that a dead snake exists :shrug01:

I'm not getting holey-er than thou. Just being honest. You cant compare a shipment of CG that were over heated to a shipment of snakes with only one baby snakes that died. I'm sure you lost more than one gecko in the shipment . That is not the case here all arrived live but one. the shipment was not late or over heated. So how many baby snakes have you ever received dead in the box.
 
this thread is not about me or my shipments. You wanted to bring something up so I chimed in.

Have you read this entire thread yet?

Yes And I said it was nice of Doc . I have done the same thing when I ship fish . Some of my Mbuna cost me more that 150 bucks I have shipped some expencive fish . It all depends on the person I talk to them in person If I get a good vibe or if I know people who can vouch for them I dont ask if I dont know them, they better have a pic.


Unlike everyone else I dont put nothing past anyone. I trust Doc and would buy from him I trust Josh and would sell to him. I really like Doc dont get me wrong I also like Josh. Like I said many times on this thread I really think Josh handled him self wrong. In putting up a BOI with out enough facts. And maybe they contact he had with Doc about the problems. Now on the other hand It bothers me that he received a dead hatchling and some of the snakes he bought died. .Nothing that I know of was mentioned about the condition's of Josh's collection before the shipment of Doc's animals. If all of Josh's animals were doing fine then a problem would point to Doc. Now it may be a little of both peoples faults. I do agree that Josh is a little green when it comes to the snakes. This is no reason to be nasty to him from the start. I'm sure that if he was handled in a correct fashion this thread would have turned out in a better light. The way most of you post would get you thrown off a Fish forum You would be banned for life .
