    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....

Bad Guy Steve Doss - SnakeFX Caging

John, you sound like Ron Burgundy on 'Anchorman' trying to tell people you're "kind of a big deal"......its pretty pathetic and annoying. I've never heard of you, and I've been knee-deep in the herp community for 20+ years. Obviously you're far more important in your own mind.

Stop distracting the thread with your incumbent narcissism.
 
YOU'RE making me "bigger" than I am, already.. I am as humble as they come.. I am fortunate to be able to do what I do; just that, fortunate, as many never make it, financially, in herpetology..

I provided (very) brief background information, as to why I have as much influence in "SnakeFX"s cagings business, as I do, and that is all.. You can babble on all you want, but there is no disputing that.. None.. Sorry for your loss.
 
I thought this thread was about SnakeFX Caging and not someones ego?!
 
Yes, but if SnakeFX caging doesnt do right by Ryan and give him a refund or whatever, then herpetology superstar John Mendrola is gonna roll on him hard by using his fame and influence to discredit SnakeFX caging, ensuring that they never do business in PA ever again.
 
All of you, who seems to be quite threatened by the accomplishments of others (unsure why), need ask yourselves only ONE question.. What have YOU done, to further herpetology..?

Do you see folks like Wolfgang Wuster, Dr. Bryan Fry, Dr. Warrel, Dr. DeCelis, Doug Hotle, and this list could go on for hours, and hours, and hours.. posting here..?

No, and that is because there are "herp enthusiasts" and herpetologists.. The latter, have better things to do, can watch threads on Fauna, which besides Kingsnake, is the biggest laughing stock of them all..

So, back I go, counting the scales of a Cerrophidion barbouri pair, and washing my hands of this thread. The are plenty more effective ways of helping Ryan, and his situation..

For those of you who are bitter, and unhappy with the lives that you lead, I wish you the best.. Maybe, during puberty, a lot of that will change, as usually does.. And, I am being as sincere as I possibly can be.

Warning:
I'll second that. Any more snide comments about someone else's ego or otherwise attempted belittling snarkiness will get said member a three day pass to the locker room. Someone is trying to HELP the person with a problem here and this sort of crap is just flat out uncalled for. I know not everyone can BE professional, but for crying out loud, at least TRY to appear professional while you are here.


:NoNo:
 
Ryan, did you contact your bank? I wouldn't hold my breath on getting a refund anytime soon. The guy knows about this thread as several people have informed him, including you (if my memory serves me). He has no interest in doing what is right, you will need to rely on other avenues to recover your funds.

I will be contacting them on Friday if he doesn't give me a refund. I gave him a deadline, so I think that it would be wrong to not honor it even if he hasn't honored his end of the deal previously. Besides, if the bank has to get involved, then this probably will not end well for him as I'm sure that the bank doesn't take stuff like this lightly.

Steve is on the KRE forum right now viewing the thread notifying him of this one.....

It's interesting that he has yet to reply to anything yet, especially now that he certainly knows about this thread.
 
And now it's Thursday, so his time is up.

My bank will be getting a phone call in the morning, and I hope that they will be able to get me my money back. If not, then I will get my money back some other way.
 
I haven't had any luck with the bank yet. I've been calling a couple of times a week now, so I'm going to have to start getting creative on this one.

I'm still doing research on going the small claims court route, but I have yet to find anything promising.
