    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....

REPTILES PLUS IN FLA THEIVES!!! BUYERS BEWARE!!!

Victor

all you are is a reptile broker, and not even a good one at that. I know alot of businesses buy from wholesalers, but at least some of those businesses quarantine and treat the animals before selling. Your lack of sales are caused by your own ignorance and lack of responsibility. Coming here and bashing a company for no reason is not helping your cause. Reptiles Plus Inc is more legit and desirable since it's a corporation over a fictitious name. I never did any business with them, but as a customer aspect, I would pick a corporation over a fictitious name any day.

It's funny how your questioning someone else's motive in a thread about you ripping someone off....
 
Bashing!?! what are you talking about! i am simply defending my self! for a year all you and the others on here did is bash me and my business over a desion that was made months ago ! no one ripped anyone off. instead i protected my self from being ripped off. now i have not responded back since then. while you and all the others had fun bashing my business trying to deter people from buying from me! i was busy working on my business. so alll the negitive post did not work! i happen to have a very large customer base that is nation-wide and many of my customers say other wise despite the trash that has been talked about me on here! so for you to assume that my sales are low is perposterious! yOU dont know what you are talking about! last time i check i was doing fine dispite all the negitivity that this forum promotes! For the LAST TIME PEOPLE GET A LIFE! YOU GOT TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS! I HAVE MOVE ON ! SO DO THE SAME PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
How are you defending yourself? You came here bashing another company that happens to have the similar name and never said anything bad towards you. The only thing they ever stated is that they are a different company and don't want to be confused with you. And with the sales thing, your the one accusing them of stealing your customers and that's why I said low sales. Maybe you should take the time to comprehend what someone writes instead of running your mouth about their opinion. Your burst of aggression because someone states their opinion is pathetic. You just prove that your to stupid to talk, so just shutup.

From what I hear and have read, I do NOT like your policies, and quite frankly I do not think people like you SHOULD be in the reptile "business". I know no amount of complaining or arguing will ever get people like you to just simply go away (although it's what I would imagine a large percentage of the community would want)...

my job is to get you the customer the reptiles you love to enjoy at the lowest possiable prices. now my prices are fair i dont over charge my customers like most of the business do on kingsnake.com and other places!

How many of your animals are bred in captivity??? Of course it would be easy to simply import animals and sell them for less than a business dealing with captive bred animals... I'm sure you understand that in this "business" quality does carry an actual value... I would rather pay $1000 for an animal that I know is going to be healthy, than $500 for the same animal from someone who apparently knows very little about proper husbandry.

i try to hand pick the best possiable animals for my customers since they can not be there to do that.

If you cannot identify a veiled chameleon from a different species, how are you going to know whether ANY animal is healthy or not (let alone the same animal you're actually looking for)?

Then by all means, get OUT of the reptile business... if your FIRST reason for being here is MONEY, then I think I am not alone in saying that you are FAR from welcome. Your "Merchandise" is LIVE animals. Why not sell electronics, or used cars, or... who knows... something NOT alive? There are plenty of other ways to make money...

Any time.
 
you can stick your opinion where the sun dont shine reptilejay up yours! like i sayed i am not going nowhere! i dont need your crappy business and your nasty community does not speak for the reptile community! if anything i wish haters like you would get kicked off here and other forums! and i never sayed i was an expert in identifying species stupid! but i do know the differance between a veiled and a fishers duh! and by the way who died and made you boss of the reptile world !?! who are you to say get out of the business? i just say your full of hate and of something else i refuse to say but you know what you are!!!!! need i say more! and i dont dont care what you say!
 
Couldn't agree with you more Jay!

Didn't I say your to stupid to talk Victor?


I looked at your website, it's confusing, some of the reptiles don't look really healthy, and you have list that reads like the price list of a importer.

and your point stuipd! what else can you say now but talk trash about my website! you truly are the biggest loser i have ever had the pleasure of telling you! what you really are! so now are you a vet! let see your certifications sofa jerk! LOL!
 
So since this has all gone very off topic, may I ask one simple question?
Did Debbie ever get her money back from you?
I think the answer to that question is really all anyone needs to know to make a decision one way or another about your practices in this business.
 
i would have gladly givenmrs harris her money back in full. if she would have returned the chameleonthat she refused to return. that is all i asked from the very beginning. if i would have got the animal back. i would have refunded all of her money and i would not have done business with her ever again. but she desided to make this into a big issue. that all i have to say about that. and thank you for not being rude to me. if people would just not be so rude on here i would be a lot nicer to them.

You keep telling yourself that!~ All our dealings were posted on this and people can read for themselves what type of business ethics you have. I have dealt with MANY reptile BREEDERS from around the country and you were the only one I can say runs a crooked business.

Why does it seem that so many of the "bad guys" on the BOI sound like they are either all the same person or related?
 
For reference, as I am tired of seeing frivilous reported posts...

I expect I will get a number of requests from people asking me to delete some message that someone else has posted about them that is rather unflattering. Bear in mind that I cannot, and WILL not be a judge in these matters. Your word will carry no more weight than the other person's word, whether I know you personally or not. All of these types of requests will be refused, no matter how irate and threatening the request may be. As such, please note that I reserve the right to publish such email in the appropriate threads in this forum, as evidence of MY own dealings with YOU. Anyone sending me these types of messages, or of any other type, specifically give up the right or expectation that this correspondence will remain private, at my discretion. In such an instance, such correspondence will be considered as MY contribution to what is known about the parties involved in a dispute. The more abusive the correspondence, the greater the likelihood that you will see it published in this forum.

Please tell me that website is a joke...There is no way someone who has already been known in this very thread to mislabel and misidentify animals is going to have almost every animal I looked at under the snake page labelled with the wrong scientific name? I mean this isn't rocket science either, let's look at the very first one on the page...anyone see a problem with the common name vs. the scientific?

Hey maybe you could call yourself REPTILES CLUELESS, then there won't be any confusion and it would be a much more accurate description of your business?

also what soo funny about this whole thing is the other so called
Reptiles Plus claims to not know of my existance before. which i question also claims to be the good guy but his prices as soooo high. yet he trys to steal whatever custome base i have for his benefit! come on he can spend all of this money ON buying the name Reptiles Plus knowing this its already registered to me. what kind of business person does this? i guess if anything i would question doing business with a person who does this. COMMON SENSE!!!

Mr. Rivera,

I did not know of your existence. I searched the sunbiz database for incorporated names, not fictitious ones. I did not know that the search database did such a thing so I figured it was clean. As you stated in your post, my prices may be higher than yours but I personally care for the animals, and ensure the health of the animals before they are sold to any of my customers. As far as myself "stealing" your customers, I never tried to. Business is competitive but that is what the "game" is. A new business has to receive customers from somewhere and that is from other places from which they have been purchasing from. I personally have never dealt with you on a customer level so don't know your practices, but from what I have read, are not ones I want to be associated with. I did send you an e-mail with my phone number so you can call me and sort this out, but all you responded with was a rant on me and the name. I hope we can work this out reasonably and not get at each others throat. My intentions are not to yell or scream at you, nor argue with you. I just want to talk and work it out. If you can please call me on the number I sent you in the e-mail, I am sure we can work something out. We are both local Floridan business owners, I don't see the need for the hatred.

Thanks

Matt

I look foward from hearing from you.
