    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.

    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....

Russell Anderson [bad Guy] DBA Vivid reptiles,

Hello,
This post is in my opinion proves russell anderson is a liar, deadbeat and a profesional scam artist.
Everyone should BEWARE this person and extend no credit he is a known non payer.
He has not paid me on a snake deal march/03 of over 500 dollars value for over 8 months now..
later I find out he has taken people all over pinellas county and hillsbrough county fl.

Here is a brief list,

Joel Friend-,mr anderson never paid him for a group of pythons.

Joe faci-, pair of gaboons call

Richard sullivan-,many debts unpaid call

Dave underwood- ,many snakes never paid for.

Harold mierkey-.breeding pair of tropical rattlers

email me for the phone numbers They will give you a credit hystory of mr andersons deals with them.
others also I could list but these are the local victims That can be reached .
russ If you pay me I will update and post your final payment fair is Fair.

His reply was funny

He was hopped up on oxycontin when he got bit at 10 at night.
he can dispute this fact all he wants he is a known liar.
fish and game stated the snake did not inject much venom it was his poulluted condition that nearly killed him.
and after he got out he was warned no snakes in the trailer park and now he has been givin till january to move out cause he was
still keeping hot snakes.
I got tired of excuses about not being payed for my snakes.
heck with him.

bud
 
How ANY of you guys could give him CREDIT for your animals is beyond me.... and anybody that gets himself bit by his "hots" because of a drug-induced stupor, deserves what he gets....
You know where he lives??.... Go get your animals back???.... I wouldn't be surprised if he was Lawson's partner!!.... Two peas in a pod!

Neil
 
interesting

Neil
I don't think dave and russ would do good as a team.
too much greed they would be incompatable.
But they are both in the same tampa area.
I know dave vaguely and he has not done any bad deals with me but I was warned.

Now I find out russ has my snakes at his trailer and is telling buds of his how he will set them up with the babies that the two snakes will have in the spring that pisses me off real bad.
wish he would just give them back to me. but in the mean time I am filing the papers to sue him for them back.
Russ really needs a checkup from the neck up.
he has got one guy beliving that he will give him 3 pairs of albino western diamondbacks that poor kid will be sad when he finaly realizes no snakes.
But he should have known not to trust him.
bud
 
Bud.... there might be an easier way.... GO to the Sheriff's department (DON'T just call them).... tell them that this guy has YOUR property and won't give them back.... ask them if THEY will ESCORT you to his house to retrieve your property.... They will USUALLY do that.... Tell them that you don't want trouble and you want a police escort.... especially if you already KNOW they're there, and you can PROVE they are yours.... good luck!

Neil
 
well so far no snakes

Well so far no snakes He knows this thread is up here.
most hurry up an pay up rather than live with everyone knowing.
their twisted deals.
He can't run or hide from the internet.
pay up russ and I will take these pages down.
I dont want to talk any more all I here was lies,gilas,mambas ect... all sounds good but I don't see anything at my door.
have your servant danny deliver payment to me.
then your free to carry on haha.
bud:eek:
 
he is up to no good

Well someone is a big crybaby.
calling fish and game with a lot of stories that have no truth in them.
In my opinion its mr anderson.

He is getting desperate now he is about to get kicked out of his trailer. so hes a narc now calling on anyone he can even making up crap.

Everyone is figuring out how much of a tard he is.

Fish and game have to be crazy if they even listen to guy.
he is about to get what he wants, to be a hobo!
and even in this condition he got a nother kid for a couple snakes says he will pay later hahahahahahah
fools.
so run your pie hole russ and let it all out big boy its not bad to cry. have danny wipe your tears up haha
get a checkup from the neck up.
learn to type
get your stories straight
look in the mirror then pull trigger
bye russ.




:D :D :D
 
Bud,

What is the real story with Russ Anderson's snake bite performances for Animal Planet and National Geographic?

Also, I truly believe that with a little refinement you could be a great writer. You are VERY entertaining!
 
not much of a show

Bruce,
I read his reply on the other forum and it says it all.
If there was any dought to his credibility and intelligence.
reading that post was painfull but it tells a larger or should I say smaller story His intelligence .

I have worked with some of the national geocrapnic film crews.
They are not fooled too easy.
They might not even show the film they cut if he looks too freaky.
he said something about his lawyer and some line of bull.
The bottom line is if they show him we will pay .
The public will think we are all idiots like him.


As for animal planet I have data on that one from our mutual
friend.
The camera crews went up to bushnell where russ poked at the mamba that bit him and smacked a cobra on the head.
As to him taking pills to do the shoot it would not be needed.
he is full of them 24 hours a day so this is his normal condition
why do they [fish and game] let him keep his license if he is pickled?
The same outcome if they show him we will all pay.

so with his eviction january he will go underground like he has done before but now he has ripped me off and I wont bend over for him like some of the other people he has ripped off.

And also when or snakes get banned due to russ next session.
alot of people will be mad at him also.
 
Bud.... I understand your grief, but, instead of just whining about it.... DO WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO!!!.... GO to the cops and have them ESCORT you over to his house and retrieve your STOLEN property???.... If you don't want to take the necessary steps to get your animals back the LEGAL way.... don't be so shocked when others get ripped off.... if you can get satisfaction with the cops.... everyone else will be able to also.... DO IT NOW, before he is evicted??

Neil
 
I tried, no receipt

Neil,
I called joe let him know I was going with cops to russes to get my snakes joe said while your there get his snakes also all was good so I drove over to tampa to joes.

when I asked joe for a sales slip he all of a sudden got amnesia.
and could not recollect selling them to me !
so next time joe needs a hand oh well .

it might sound like whining but I was just keeping the thread up top.

any ideas:bluegrab: :nopity:
 
Yeah.... you don't need a receipt if they were STOLEN!!.... Tell the cops the TRUTH and they can probably help you??.... But just sitting here talking about it, isn't going to get it done.... tomorrow, go to the Police Station and file a report of theft, ask them to accompany you to get your animals back....
I'd have already been there if they were mine and I KNEW who had them??

Good luck and keep me informed??

Neil
 
I'm a Tampa PLAYAH and I LIKE it! Seriously folks, ya gotta love our Tampa guys! Bud, how did Russ Anderson hook up with Animal Planet and National Geographic? Did he call them after his BLACK MAMBA Bite? Did he get paid for his snake bite shows that may doom all herpetoculture?
 
good question

Bruce,
They found out about it from the news.
I dought he got any pay for it.
If they try to say he was saved by venom 1 they lie he did not get Av till many hours[six or more] later then they installed it anyway total waste since he did not even react to it.
He was toast and thats the story.
This is what pissis me off we had them[GEO] film me survive all the venom a large jamesons and my bud tim did 50+ mg of monacle.
we lived no problem but it was too boring for them they want screaming flailing and a look of fear.
plus the are not all that great a bunch of freelance guys no real nat geo crews.

We can only hope we dont see how russ lived with all the snakes in a trailer bedroom plus crocs and 5 kids.
under meds 24/7 thats safe hahah
We knew he would get bit when was the question.
he was kinda a friend but he does not learn at all
but thousands on the internet will know not to trust him at all!
 
Agreed! Russ Anderson is MUD!

Russ Anderson punked me out of $150 payment on a forest cobra several years ago. He is a dishonest man. From what I hear, everyone knows it too!

I haven't forgot RUSS!!!!

Very Sincerely,

Sean
 
just the tip of the iceburg

sorry to hear that Sean russ thinks he is a great snake handler.
what gets me is he is the worst example of a hot herper.
He has no skill at all.
He rips off anyone even his so called buddies.
The worst example is the kid danny that stayed at his side for a couple months after his dance with the mamba.
he took the guy for everything he could its sick! what went on
he almost held the guy against his will.
told his mom he was killed in a car crash so she would quit calling looking for her son.
To make it worse russ let dan sleep over in the kids room with them all night over and over the oldest girl is 8 years old.
sounds like a michael jackson story.
if him owing me keeps all of them away from me I guess its worth it to be ripped off by him.
I will keep this thread going for years so he will never get away
from me.
feel free to post once in a while to keep this up in the list.
losers and abusers have no place they need to be dealt with.

:no_evil01
 
Russ/MUD cont.

It never pays to cheat people. The price of the rewards aren't worth sacrificing your integrity no matter what. Plus, you get people like me that don't forget or excuse this kind of behavior. Its a small world.

Sean
