    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....

Rian at Underground Reptiles BAD GUY

I hope more people read this thread and take heed. I have been taken by this company as well for a pair of GTP's. That died from what my vet determined was IBD! I see that Rian never responded to this thread and neither did any of his "Lackies" that typically chime in whenever someone posts a BOI thread on him. I very rarely post on these threads mainly because my wife and I have been brow beaten by people on these threads because of the fact that we were and still a little bit are Nieve to the Herp community. We have learned a lot over the past few years and one thing we've learned is never buy from UnderGround Retiles! With my disapproval my wife posted a thread on the Death of our GTP's and our interactions with Rian and he and his Lackies once again disected her statements and tried to disinvalue everything she said. I'm sorry for your loss, I too know the pain of watching an animal die and feeling helpless. It is a terrible thing that I would wish on no one! I currently have 2 more GTP's that are doing well and I love them dearly. Good luck and god bless :)

Please dont post a COD of IBD and not prove your case with documentation of such claims.
 
I know Rian and many of his employees personally. When I was alot younger, Rian gave me my first job in a reptile store ( I was 15, and it was in his coral springs store, Which should have never closed down). He is a great guy and I fully trust him. Also his workers are great to deal with. I have known many of them for years and they are top shelf. You cannot get better employees. I grew up with Ryan borkan, and he has always been helpful. If I ever had questions about bugs, I know I can ask Pete. So if anyone thinks these guys are not good guys, ask someone who knows them all first hand. I think they are one of the best stores'/companies in the reptile business.
 
This was awhile ago so I'm having a hard time finding documents since I was so disgruntled that I discarded most of this stuff. I do have one of the receipts from the vet visit. But it doesn't show the determined illness only what he treated my animal for. I don't know how to put it up on here though... if someone could PM me instructions I'll put it on here. Thanks,
-Adam
