I'd really like to know too.
What is this RI or disease? Who's got it and what are the symptoms?

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....

As more pieces come to my mind Im posting them.
I wish I could have thought of everything at once but Im pretty furious. Another red flag that has been set off in my mind. Is that everytime I was at Toms house he would find some excuse not to put the females under the ultrasound machine. Then finally we were going to and he says his machine didnt work.(And he continues he tell me this up until last Thursday)From what I hear he was in Daytona selling ultrasound machines. So I guess he was just selling broken machines. (Highly unlikely)

what dan is refering to is an upper respitory infection.(RI). basicly what it is ,a snake catching a cold when it is cooled down. if caught in the early stages is very treatable.this is nothing new,has been around forever.

I didnt know it was
something new until a week or so ago. I thought it was just a super tought strand to get rid of. It was hard the symptoms were just like RI. Im not an expert on these diseases. Maybe Kelli could give us all more info. I would like to know more info. I have had it cleared up for a week and half or so. TRUST me it was a B**** to get rid of. The Amakacin is really hard on the snake if not kept hydrated.

Tom has done a few shady deals
this year having people show up at the show in Tampa this year and not have what they arranged for. These people drove from out of state just to pick these up.

I think we all would be interested in seeing a copy of that vet report with the details on what was found in the culture.

Dan, I would also like to see the report, and its findings. If what you say about Tom is true, then I would say that it is more than just fishy. I would say he is taking you for a ride, and the fact that Neil recomended Tom should have raised a major red flag. He seems to have a soft spot for the shady scammer types.

If what you are saying is true then He is a bad guy
Was there any documentation on your deal with him? Or was it all verbal?
The lesson of this story is:
Dont put all your eggs in one basket

"I was just thinking how many times you said the same thing."
The irony in that comment did not escape me either. But, I have noticed that he seems to have been making an effort to play nice for a while now. So I will give him credit for that, and I am willing to hear him out on this one for now. Lets see how this plays out.

Let's see the Vet report today!!!
Danny Boy,
Post the Vet report today, not soon or next week. Dan hasn't cleaned up his act, this is nothing more than a known scammer keeping his head below the radar for a couple of months. Now he resurfaces with this BS story looking for sympathy trying to get back in the good graces of the BOI. Post some proof Dan.
You told me when I tried to collect the $2500 you still owe me that IBD had killed off your whole collection, now less then a year later you have adult Ball Python Morphs and you found someone to take your animals in on a breeding loan, I highly doubt it. Dan you are a pathological liar and now it's starting to show again with your very first post here in months, you are making up things and adding them as facts as you think of them, or make them up I should say. Show some proof this time, let's see that Vet report today.

When you get around to showing us the vet report, would you mind filling us in about the $2500.00 that Brock says you owe him? Why has that not been paid back? We are waiting...

Thank You for the prompt response Dan.
Brock, is what Dan says true? Also if this situation with yourself and Dan has already been discussed in another thread would you be kind enough to direct us to it. You may want to add to it and bring it back to life if you still feel you have been scammed by Dan. However, it would probably be better to discuss it there, and we should try to stay focused on the actual topic of this thread (at least for now).

Careful with that axe...
So you are saying that a 440g male was breeding? I'm not a big ball python guy but that seems a bit small. On the other hand the animal in the vet report did clearly have two gram negatives in the culture.
