Solomon Wise I'll tell you something that drives me crazy. It's posts like this they say, "I heard the show was crap," or "that show sucked last year so I'm not going to go." Seriously? I can't understand how a person in this hobby can feel that way. Honestly, have you become so focused on the money aspect of this hobby that you have lost the passion and enjoyment of going to a reptile show? I vend at lots of shows in the areas, and even if I don't sell anything, there's no place I'd rather be! Just being able to be around other people that share the same love I have for reptiles is an amazing feeling. It makes me sick that people bash others in the hobby so often. It does nothing but make us look bad. Seems to me that people have forgotten the excitement and joy that happens when you see an animal that you've been looking for. They're to busy bashing others and running their mouths about how bad a show COULD be. Btw Sid, Shane was at my place last night before you called him a liar on here, and he said nothing but good things about you. I bet he feels stupid now.

He is a flipper that buys other breeders snakes on credit sells them at a higher price and never pays the original breeder.
He orders an butt load of imports and passes them off as hets and dh. My friend caught him the order day. One week he posted a het albino proven breeder and the next week it was a dh albino pied same pics and all. He has yet to post pics of his breeders or even at that eggs or babies. Everything I see are imports or normals they he throws a het or two on. He tried to sell me a super pastel het ghost female for $250. I knew there was no way he could do that I went and saw it at a show it was a pastel and who knows if it was het cause he has no pics of parents. I have never personal brought anything from him cause a friend of mine warned me before I did.

Nobody wins when Facebook drama is bought here. You guys can keep stomping your feet, but the more you do, the more people will steer clear of you both. I've already seen enough to avoid you both.
 
If I am the so called scammer.....

Shane Porter,

Assuming I am the scammer you are mentioning, I left out NO words unless they contained personal contact information, and those were denoted with.........

Please provide copies of proof of these new allegations. I will provide the same.

Kathy Greer

guess sid left out details an his comments just like the scammer did to me... private message beween us..
 
Kathy, how are the girls doing? I'm especially curious about the one with the broken and floating ribs.

I won't comment on the FB posts at this time, I do belong to the group this was posted in as I live in the same area.
 
Proof of false allegations Re Paypal

Lets start with the statement made by Shane Porter that I have filed other Paypal claims and that I buy snakes then file other claims to get my money back. Attached is a downloaded report of every claim I have ever filed with Paypal from 1/1/2000 through today. I would be happy to do a search for longer dates at anyones request.

Additionally I can provide copies of recent transactions done with the same Paypal account, the only one I have ever had, in the past month at the request of anyone. So, for whatever reason those statements are nothing more than slander. I have attached a PDF from of my most recent payment via paypal for my Netflix to show that I do still have and use that account.

Again, Shane Porter please provide proof of your allegations. I am more than happy to provide any other means of proof at ANY one request.

I doubt any of that was necessary, as I believe you.

Not to mention the fact that his story keeps changing ... ie, you left the snakes at the hub over night to 13 hours.
 
Kathy, how are the girls doing? I'm especially curious about the one with the broken and floating ribs.

I won't comment on the FB posts at this time, I do belong to the group this was posted in as I live in the same area.

I am happy to update on the girls.

Broken rib girl is finally eating on a regular basis and still has the neurological head jerking she came to us with, but it does seem to be a little better. She at times flips on her side from the sunken part/healed broken rib area on down while crawling but is better, after all these months, at keeping herself uprighted and can use her tail some, or at least has some muscle tone. I had struggled with deciding what to do with her, she eats good now so that to me indicates that she is not overwhelmed with pain any more and is a very good indicator according to the vet. He basically has left the decision to euth or not in my hands. It tears at my heart that she might still be in pain, and I do still ask the question of do I keep her alive because of an emotional attachment or why? It is tough, very tough, to worry about. I am still most thankful that she never caught an RI like the two smaller ones did.

The two smaller ones, one that I feared might be gravid and the other one, both had RIs shortly after getting here, have both been RI symptom free for months. They also both eat pretty good and are at healthy weights for their frame. Thankfully the one was not gravid because I am not sure how well she would have healed had she been.

The largest scarred up one doesn't like to eat much, not even a delectable ASF, but I will be finally bringing them home in a few days and I hope the change in environment will stimulate her to eat better. They have been at the friends house in QT all this time. I am finally confident that they are well, so 7 months after them arriving they are getting to come out of QT. I plan on offering one of them to my friends that were kind enough to QT and treat them when I couldn't for me for all these months.

I appreciate all the prayers, well wishes, votes of confidence, and support from this amazing community. As always, if anyone wishes to know anything feel free to message me, post here, or call.

Kathy I am sorry you had to deal with this. I really wish that folks would see the impact of these type of actions. Failing to do the right thing and learn from this mistake is really going to harm his reputation. I wish you luck in keeping everyone healthy.
 
Did anyone notice that on page 2 he admitted to knowingly shipping the animals in unsafe conditions, whereas he denied this before. Also he's continuing to do this to other animals....
 
i find it funny how i offerd to buy them back just like i told sid i would buy his back if he wasnt happy, and i get no reply. like i said, the snakes werent that sick if they are still alive! and yes she did leave them overnight at the hub and didnt not contact me like i asked her to when she recieved them. she screwed me on the 300.00 and kept my animals. everybody i know whos bought from me has had no supposed problems but you lady! and yes you are a SCAMMER! ill continue to call you one until you make your end rite an send my snakes back or remove this stupid post. i have way more good then bad sales. an my story wasnt changing if you idiots read all 18 pages slowly u will see. thanks
 
i havent continued to ship anything incorrectly.. ive sold 50-100 snakes since this wacko bought from me an screwed me on my snakes an money, you all need to get a life!
 
Shane grow up you ungrateful brat.

She didnt scam you out of anything. You shipped those snakes in HORRIBLE conditions. Properly packed they would of been fine over night in the hub. Hell snakes get held up for 1-2 days extra from delays and arrive just fine and arent sick or get broken ribs from lack of proper shipping.

Quit making up excuses and deflecting blame on her like she scammed you. Snakes do not get sick over night but from lack of husbandry on your part. The horrible shipping you did is why it all came out in a vengeance on her end.


SHANE PORTER IS A FLIPPER AND SELLS SICK SNAKES
 
Rich, you are a nice guy to describe Porter so gently.

He's a whole lot worse than that. Mainly, a LIAR and FABRICATOR. Which says TONS about character in itself.
 
Shane do you really still think that you are in the right here? The way you shipped those animals was appauling.

I think that you are failing to comprehend that you weren't shipping out $465 of product, you were shipping out lives. Your "well atleast they weren't dead" way of thinking shows your true motives.

Your constant changing of stories and attitude on this board really show your character and integrity. I will not be purchasing from you and will make the same recommentdation to my fellow reptile keepers in my area.
 
I would also advise you that as of now, over 18,000 people have viewed this thread. They have seen your comments, your lack of respect for folks, and of course your lack of care for these animals.

This number will only get larger. Please look at the big picture here.
 
he sent me a pic of a male and said it was a harlequinn, then on Craigslist the exact same pic was titled black pastel het pied. it was neither a harlequinn nor a black pastel, just a normal. he tried to say it wasn't him then he wouldn't talk to me anymore.
 
Shane if it's all the buyers fault then why is that you have been banned from ever using S.Y.R again? Perhaps if you took you head from your anus for 30 seconds you would understand that the only indication of a scam trying to be perpetrated was on your part! Over 18,000 people have viewed this B.O.I. and NOT 1 person has come forward to say a positive thing about you. Also quit whining about her not contacting you at the time of pickup like it would exonerate you from being liable from your substandard shipping and the fact that you shipped out sick snakes! How would holding it at a hub cause this? I personally find it much nicer inside of a air controlled building as opposed to driving around in the back of giant truck with the sun bearing down on it. You sir are the reason that our rights to own these wonderful creatures are being tread upon. You are not fit to own/keep/breed/sell or even look at exotics.
 
Okay guys I've kept quiet about this for a long time, but since my name has been dragged into this bulls*it I'm going to say my piece.

I bought a female black pastel 100% het pied from Shane for $300 on March 11. I was super excited about adding this animal to my collection and as such brought it with me to the Repticon at Winston Salem where I went to represent Lake Norman Herp Society, to use as a presentation piece and to also show my buddy Frank with Coldblooded Novelties and Limey with Royal Reptilia. Limey first off said "That's a cinnamon" so I brought her to Frank who basically informed me it was actually a snake he produced and showed me the picture on his website - which was actually the picture Shane had used to sell me the snake. When I contacted Shane about this he went back and forth about coming to the show to make it right and that he sent someone in SC my snake and this was that other person's snake. I'm an easy going guy, so I went with it, even though it was obviously false being he had used Frank's picture to sell me this exact animal. After making various phone calls between him and Frank, Shane came to my house late that evening as he didn't make it to the show and swapped me a larger male black pastel het pied. At this point after having been told by paypal I couldn't reverse the transaction I decided to just take it as a lesson learned.

That's my experience with Shane Porter.

Now he's going to bash the racks I build, even though I never built one for him, but after 5 months this all needed to come out and be said. My story is backed up by Frank.
 
Kathy, you are such a great person. So sorry you had to deal with this stuff, I am glad that you never sent them back to him. After reading all of his replies and such and see his TOTAL lack of self control and customer service, I know I would never spend any money with him.
