    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....

Todd Callan/ Kenny gall

With hotmail accounts if you do not log in every so often it gets disabled. So if it is still valid and e-mails are not getting bounced, then I too would agree he is getting the messages but choosing to ignore them.
 
That is correct, after 30 days of non activity his account would be dropped, I did write Craig yesterday and tell him I was verifying the email address I had found, I found another forum where he had posted replys to in the past, I did a real time validation of the email address and yes it is still active. He is getting your mail Craig. I also wrote him and recieved no response.
 
Thanks alot, I thought maybe he just was not getting it. Well it looks like this is turning the corner to a bad guy post. Boy I realy did not want to see it go that way. To all that helped out I do appreciate it. I am going to cross my fingers that he still replys. I am going to send a link to this thread and hope he says something. At this point if he got on here and called me a lieing SOB it would be better then not saying anything. Maybe he is in daytona and not getting his email. (wishful thinking). If I hear anything I will be sure to let everyone know.Craig Kade

Lets make it interesting. The first person who can give me a valid address, phone number, and email for Todd Callan gets a pair of 66% poss het albino, 50% possible het anerys for their trouble. No BS. you pay the shipping and you will have them as soon as I contact him. So if someone is sitting there thinking "yeah I know where to get ahold of him, but why post" maybe this will be motivation enough. Thanks. Craig Kade

I helped Craig out on this deal quite a bit. Although he was not able to contact Todd, or better put, Todd did not contact him back, Craig felt the need to honor the above post.

We worked a deal for the pair above for a price of...well, he probably won't like me posting it here...:D Lets just say, it was really really good. His e-mail communication was great and he shipped when he said he would. The snakes were well packed and arrived a few minutes ago healthy looking and alert.

Much too my surprise when I opened the box, there is a note from Craig. In it, he says he couldn't decide which of the two females he had looked better so he sent both. The deal was for a pair and he sends a trio.

So this is what I received....

1.0 66% poss het albino 66% poss het anery
0.2 66% poss het albino 50% poss het anery

Craig was a man of his word on this and I hope everything works out for him with Todd.

PS.. Now the torture begins, waiting for them to mature and hope the genetics pan out. :D
 
Wow!

D Thomas, Sounds like Craig Kade is a heck of a guy!!

Unfortunately, no one will see your post about him unless they read this thread. I would start a separate one if I were you.
 
Ahh wonderful, I am also a "lucky" owner of 2.2 of Kenny Gall's wonderful DH Snow Boas. I haven't bred them yet as i have been taking their growth/feeding gradually.

I have heard many things that I have read in this thread, first and foremost, I heard he brokered the litter for a local "friend" way back when, and yes, also heard that the anery was a regular that looked anery. I can also add that one of my females looks just like that, barely any red at all, at a quick glance you would think her an Anery. he swore up and down that the parents were genuine even though he refused to provide paperwork. For the price, i considered it a calculated risk. Soon after, Rainforest Rarities was beyonf "rare" it was gone.

At least now when i do breed them, I will know exactly what I am dealing with and won't be crushed by only producing a few albinos, and possible hets.

If anyone else is out there that owns siblings please post to the thread or email me at [email protected].

thanks, Dale
 
more bad news.

I just had both females from the todd callan group drop babies today. Good news no slugs or stillborns. Bad news, no snows out of either litter also no anerys. One snake apparently is not even het for albino or I have REALLY bad luck, out of 18 babies no albinos, the other on dropped 17 and 8 were albino. Sorry to break anyones heart that bought from these guys. These were bred to a unrelated real dh snow male. Craig
 
Man Craig that really sucks.
Are you going to try and resolve it someway?


Good Luck, and if I can help out just ask.
 
Beleive me, if I EVER meet up with this guy I will resolve it. People have said "is it really worth going to jail over $1500" Any one who has worked on a project for 4 years and have it end up being almost worthless can understand. My whole collection was purchased around these snakes. Craig
 
That sucks.

I remember Kenny placing the add along time ago. I almost bought a few of them but changed my mind. I did buy his #1 stud Green Tree python that produced several clutch's for him. I didn't think about probing him until he never tried to breed any of my female's over the last few season's. Yeah you guessed it female man I felt dumb. But she is awesome looking and healthy so I didn't mind.

Thanks, Tim Rash
 
I know how you feel

Hey Craig,
That sucks man, I know just how you feel. I had one of those DH for Snows this year drop Hypos and normals from my DH Sunglow male. It really takes it out of you to put 4 years into something to have this kind of outcome because someone was a no good greedy................ Most here said one breeding isn't enough to know for sure but I know after reading this I'm not going to be wasting another year on her just for the same results next year. I just wanted to put a link in here so everybody can see what kind of a piece of dirt this guy Kenny was. Sorry you got burned too but thanks for bringing this up to the top again.......................Brock

At least you guys saved me the dissapointment of waiting on a mother to give birth. I know what they are now, and will know what to expect.
 
Brother believe me, you have the ability to make his life a legal hell.
That's what I would recommend. As much as I would want to smash his face in if I was in your shoes, it won't help the situation.
If you want some specific ideas about how to go about this email me.
 
DH Snows from Kenny Gall

Hey Craig- I'm sorry you didn't get any snows from those females from Kenny Gall. I have a female that I got Kenny Gall that was supposed to be DH snow, but when I heard from a guy last year who had the same results as you did, I knew she wasn't DH snow and opted to breed her to a DH sunglow male. SHe did produce some nice sunglows and albinos proving she was het albino. If anybody has any supposed DH snows from Kenny Gall, I would assume they are just het albinos. Not to stand up for Todd Callan, but he probably just sold those DH snows as DH snow because thats what he bought them as. I don't know if he is entirely responsible for them. Just my opinion. Congrats on the litters and the albinos.
 
I thought they were het albinos also, but out of 18 babies(roughly) I did not have a single albino, I know it is possible, but odds are against it.
 
just putting in my 2 cents

craig kade is the example by which all those who deal in the reptile business should be measured against. he was super helpful and patient. he was polite and didn't pressure me. he was completely honest and very thoughtful. in conversation, we had talked about how it would take me a little longer to get everything sorted out with getting him his money because my daughters birthday was upon me and i was spending time with her. we finally finished up our deal about a week later or so and he sent me my snake. when my wife opened up the box....ole craig sent an extra snake! he sent my daughter an albino garter snake for free for her birthday!! how cool was that!! this guy is the real deal. i've dealt with jerks my whole life, that's why i'm so grateful to craig. i will deal with him as much as possible in the future.
still appreciative
