    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....

RYAN TRUDE

Hi everyone,

In case anyone was wondering about the rosies, I bought them as 1.2 00' rosies, they probed correctly, I have had them for over 6 months, eat great, and are 12-14" long.
Ryan had a friend sex them because he couldnt, and the same
friend also told him they were only a year old. When they arrived (on time) he was very pleased with them. 5 days later
was when he started claiming the wrong sex and age.
Just thought I'd add that info.

God Bless!

Rob,

Your probably right. I'll probably be best off to chalk it up to
experience and move. If something comes out of it great, but
I'm not expecting it. I really appreciate everyones input on this
issue and hope God smiles on you all !

God Bless

Ok. First of all, you people really need lives. I can't stand gossip (esecially aimed at me) and I just read 26 replies that are nothing but crap that people with an IQ of over 15 would ignore.

 Here's my side. I never ever intended to rip Ben off. I'm working on shipping them right now. I just got back from a UPS that wouldn't ship by billing the receiver. I will go to another place tomorrow. The snakes are in a box right now. Yes, it is my fault for trying to trade without being stable right now, but I also never expected to lose my car. At the time, I still had reliable transportation.

 And I am also shipping Ben the Solomons that he wanted in the first place. He's getting what he wanted, he should be happy. I'm the one who has 3 useless male yearlings which were sold to me as a 1.2 two year old trio.

 So, all you peple that are "siding" with the good ole' Christian Reptile Center, think about it. He'll be getting the 1.1 pair of ADULT BREEDABLE solomons that I claimed I had. I don't lie. I've never ripped anyone off and I myself hate when people give me excuses on why they're shipping is delayed. This is the first time I've ever done it and It's not like I'm proud of it. It was an accident.

 If anyone has a problem you can talk to me, don't just believe what you read. Are you that stupid? I have never ripped anyone off and never intend to, and I'm also fully planning on keeping my end of the deal with Ben. But I'm not going to pay out of my own pocket to ship to him when he deceived me. If he's so good at the reptile trade, he should know the difference between male and female, don't you think?  I would also like to thank Chris Foley. He even tracked me down to find me and tell me what was being written about me by anonymous morons on the internet. ( By the way, my words, not his.) he is also to be trusted, as I am. Both of us appreciate this HOBBY for what it is and are not out to deceive people because it's a ridiculous practice. That neither of us see any point to. Sorry to put words in your mouth, Chris. but I know you're trustworthy so you shouldn't mind me saying it.


So, that's my side. I understand Ben being upset about the time it's taken. I would be too. But this is one of those things that really make me question the intelligence of the average human being. Ben, the solomons are on their way tomorrow and I will email you with the tracking number.
 
Ryan,

you never answered why you just can't send Ben his Rosies back like he requested.  Care to answer that, or is the cash from their sale weighing down your hands too much to type an answer?
 
Ryan, have you had anyone besides your friend to probe the snakes? How do you know he's right? Just because "Chris" handed you a shovel doesn't mean you have to dig a hole for yourself. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Ryan

I think you got a really good deal on those "usless" yearling males at $50.00 apiece.  Still got them?  But, then again, I don't guess you wish to do business with someone with an IQ of only 150.  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
 
You should let Chris speak for himself Ryan. I also don't see any postings that don't have a name attached so wherever the thought of anonymous popped up was entirely you. Ben stated his side quite clearly, you on the other hand when approached about the subject responded in a childish and foul way, as proven by your E-mails. You say we shouldn't care when someone potentially gets burned by someone in this HOBBY? Excellent! Quite simply put I doubt anybody who is serious in this HOBBY will do business with you after your methods/mannerisms and overall way of approaching and handling this have been made known.Its called a public forum for those with a low IQ who might not understand that. You haven't taken care of a thing! You blatantly accuse Ben of deceiving you publically, that's actual deflamation of character Ryan. What did you do with the Rosies?

Ben clearly wanted back the snakes you were dissatisfied with, why are you not returning them at his expense?

You haven't answered a single thing, just made excuses and accusations. Your character is getting lower by the moment but I suppose after the views you have shown, you really don't mind what others in this HOBBY think of you but you seem to feel they will still trust your name as you march on ignoring the requests to properly take care of this "misunderstanding" and return the Rosies requested.

We'll get a life, you go get into a new HOBBY like underwater basketweaving, at least I won't have to hear your foul mouth and attitude while you're in the water.

LOL

Morning everyone,

Welp, Ryan sent me a new email last night. In the subject line it has "ROSIES". In the email he said that the snakes are on
their way to me via airborne express and that he never had bad intentions and he appologized for any incidents he was responsible for. He didnt say whether they were sent over night and didnt have a tracking# but I'lll see if they arrive today sometime. Since he had "ROSIES" in the subject line
I would think that is what he is sending back. Chris however
emailed me saying that he tried to get me the rosies back but
that Ryan is set on a trade already. I guess I'll just have to see whats in the mystery box when it arrives.

God Bless!!

Hi guys,

Nothing showed up yesterday, will see if something does today. I emailed Ryan asking if he shipped next day and asked
for a tracking# but havent recieved one.
I'll let ya know whether or not it shows by this afternoon.

God Bless

Hi guys,

The box just arrived. You guessed it, its the candoia.
He said they were a 1.1 pair of terracata(SP?) red phase,
one is red, the other is grey as can be. They are alive and
I'll check them out further after I get them home and warmed
up.
Thanks for everyones comments etc...It could have been
worse.

God Bless!!
Ben <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
 
Well Ben, at least you got SOMETHING.  And if Ryan says YOU misrepresented your Rosies, me thinks its about time he shut his mouth since he was sending YOU TWO red Candoia and you only got ONE, plus a gray one.  
Hopefully they are at least a pair, and hopefully clean and will hopefully get eating for you easily.  

Sorry you had to go through all this hassle Ben.  Oh well, win some lose some.

Cheers!
 
Well, at least he followed through on sending those. One gray and one red?  Sounds like somebody deceived YOU intentionally. Hopefully they will work out for you.

Man, this has saved my butt....

Responded to an ad for a female labyrinth burmese. It was Ryan Trude. Said he had no current internet connection so he couldn't send pictures (though the ad was online...he emailed me from the library). He did give me a work phone number to contact him at. I called, got voice mail, and decided to just check him out on here while I waited for a return phone call.

This board has definitely saved me from making a mistake. Considering his deficiencies in identifying snakes, I can imagine that this unusually patterned labyrinth burmese may not really be all that he has indicated.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for this resource.

Now, back to my hunt for my male laby's new girlfriend....
