3963.html Posted At 16:48:33 05/31/2001 Jerry, You need to give the reptile business a break, if you don't even have acces to e-mail you have no business selling reptiles online. You seem to constantly have family/personal problems that interfere with your reptile dealings. I think before anyone is going to build some silly website and call themselves a "breeder" or "dealer" or "business" they should do some homework and find out what it takes to be just that! Every day I see more and more so called "businesses" pop up with reptiles for sale and I doubt any one of them has a tax id number or a liscense to conduct "business". If you had the ability to post this thread, you had the ability to contact your customers and tell them what's going on with their money! If you can't even do that, what is going to happen to the 200 ball pythons sitting in your spare bedroom? Will they be taken care of properly? In my opinion, I doubt it! Give it a break man, John Staursky |

3964.html Posted At 17:48:59 05/31/2001 Common business sense would dictate that people should not have to go running for their own monies when these were sent out in good faith. You know whom you owe, you should have already fowarded return monies without having to go into your family history on a business transaction. This is the outcome of a hobbyist gone astray who brings his personal life into everyones elses life and makes misery a company. One gets the feeling that this is not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last. |

Re: dealings with jerry tubbs
3967.html Posted At 18:40:10 05/31/2001 I have never dealt with Jerry, but from what i have read i am very glad that i havent. Mr. Tubbs seems to be great at excuses and not so great at running a serious herp business. For some reason there are always constant problems with this gentleman and i sure would HATE to be in his shoes! I have to agree with the statements above, Jerry give it a rest!!! Try it again when you have the means to deal with the public on a long term basis, not a here today gone tomorrow one. |

3969.html Posted At 18:51:59 05/31/2001 Last time i said something abiout JT i was wrong as the webmaster said he could see the logic or reasoning of JT posting here granted this is not an announcement forum but don't you think people would want to know what is going on with their money or the snakes they want i know i am going against the grain here ,but give JT credit for posting here and letting people know and Jerry if you are on the up and up which a lot of people hope you are good job Apple |

3974.html Posted At 21:15:43 05/31/2001 I agree with John. At least hes's going on here and letting everybody know what's up. He could be like some of the losers you send money to and they just disappear. Give the guy a break. If it bugs you that much go cry yourself to sleep it's gotta to be past your bed time or does your mom know your still up!! |

3980.html Posted At 00:18:07 06/01/2001 Speaking of childish thats cute Bilie. how long did it take you to sit down and think of that remark, an hour or two? I think your missing the whole point. Mr. Staursky said it best, if Jerry had the time to post in every possible forum on earth then why cant he contact his buyers directly? He was obviously at a computer. If i had purchased from him i would expect a personal e-mail not a notice in a herp related forum. In my personal opinion it is just easier to talk indirectly rather than have to listen to people in person for Mr. Tubbs. It allows him not to hear the bitching and moaning and still feel he did the right thing. I think you should keep the insults to yourself or try e-mailing them to there target audience. You remind me of another gentleman on this forum. |

i was warned
3983.html Posted At 01:13:09 06/01/2001 Well, i was warned from several people to avoid dealing with tubbs, but since there were opposing points of view, i decided to give the man a chance, luckily my transaction was a small one, but i have to sympathize for those of you that invested any amount into Jerry's snakes. It may be true, that he's having problems and whatnot, but i would agree with the others, that he should discontinue his dealings in the reptile business after this mess is resolved. |

3990.html Posted At 07:07:53 06/01/2001 Well Warren as far as how long it took me you were right on the money god your good! Anyway I can see the people that have dealings going on with Jerry bitching if they have a complaint about somthing. You on the other hand addmitted you have never dealt with him but still you go on here and bitch, & cry about it and about him when you never even dealt with the guy. So I'll keep my insults to myself and I'm sorry I hope you can accept my apology. BILLIE. |

Re: dealings with jerry tubbs
4002.html Posted At 15:33:22 06/01/2001 I have bought a boa from Jerry with out any problems and he was polite and I got her on a Saturday just as promised. She had a slight URI, but it was cured and she is growing and eating like crazy. She is still in quarintine and will remain for another four-six months. He still drops a line every now and then to check on her. I take all my boas to a Vet as soon as I receive them for a check up and and fecal exam. She got a clean bill of health after the URI cleared up. I have considered buying some of his Balls to sell to my local pet stores, but I am leary because I have never bought Balls so I don't know much about them and I have started to educate myself about them, but from the negative posts about him and now because he isn't able to ship as promised I don't know if I will. Jerry I feel if you are trying to do this as a real business then "almost" nothing short of a personal emergency should interfere with you getting your customers what they ordered in a timely matter. Even if you offer a refund you have wasted their time, from their point of view as the money could have went towards other purchases or whatever. I think you're nice guy with the worst luck anyone can imagine, but I have been there. I have been homeless at one point in my life. So I know how hard life can be. As for all his other dealings, how does anyone know that he didn't try to contact all his customers? Maybe he's trying to cover all his bases. I have no complaints about him has my only deal went very well, but I have to comment about his business sense. I don't think he is doing a very good job. I also think he needs to take a break and try again when he is more able. Perhaps then he can turn it into a profitable and dependable "business". On the other hand maybe he is just trying to get a couple extra bucks to help support his family, pay bills or whatever. I don't think any of us can complain about an oppurtunity to get extra cash. Granted he has problems and all of us should be thankful it isn't happening to us so I think he deserves a break there. Maybe he is trying to get his "business" off the ground. A lot of you have been in the same spot before becoming a "business" and I am sure there are several breeder/dealer/brokers that do not have any business licsence or tax ID has you do not always need one. I do not know what the requirements are so I won't even try to guess. I do know however if you do it as a hobby and you trade/sell to get in on other projects you don't need one. However if you make a profit or an "income" you do need to claim it as such. I learned that when I had my taxes done and asked if I need to file on the monies I will get from selling the surplus or unwanted boas. As for you Jerry, I hope things improve and your luck changes. You opened up the door to a part of your personal life for every one to comment about. My advice for future posts, just simply state you are having technical difficulties or personal problems and if any of your customers want you to eloborate then they can contact you at the address you have provided, but I think you should attach a phone number just to be more personable. I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope the sun will shine on you and yours soon. Ernie |

Re: dealings with jerry tubbs
4038.html Posted At 00:03:14 06/03/2001 Jerry has 2 of my red tail boas. i was trading him 1 red tail for 2 ball pythons. i heard he had good ball pythons, so i trusted him enough to send both of my snakes to him so he could pick one and send the other back with the 2 ball pythons. he kept asking me over and over again what i wanted for the boa. so kept telling him over and over again. then, he wanted me to call him long distance, and i couldn't, and i told him that he could call me. he said he had an $1100 phone bill and could not call me. so i kept telling him to send me the snakes. after i while, i became agitated and told him to just send me my 2 snakes back and that the deal was off because he was taking too long to come through with his end of the deal. now i've been emailing him for a week with no reply. today is 6/2/01, well actually it's 12:02 am on 6/3, and he put up this on 6/01, so i think he could've emailed me considering he has several hundred dollars of my snakes. and if he had all that time to place ads yesterday, then he had time to email me, don't you think? where i come from,which is the far south in Louisiana, we call that a big PUSSY. he obviously cannot handle his business, and therefore, should not be in business. also, i heard he's sent a few people sick snakes as well. so do not do business with him. and i will find you jerry, you can run but you can't hide. if anyone knows his phone number, pleaselet me know, i lost it. thank you. |

Re: dealings with jerry tubbs
4048.html Posted At 12:30:05 06/03/2001 Anyone see whats wrong with this...Good God! Jerry has posted 2x on here , but is not able to communicate to his customers directly. He can read e-mail and post on here, but cannot e-mail his customers? Any service used to dial up online offers e-mail and if somehow yours does not get a free e-mail account there are 100's. This is not the way to communicate with "customers". I suspect the money people have sent is being used for other things and there is most likely no money to refund "customers". This is very wrong and most likely why no one has been addressed directly. Otherwise there would be alot of post saying "Jerry Tubbs Ripped me off". He probably thinks his announcement saves him from this by saying "look I posted it on the forum". |

Re: dealings with jerry tubbs
4050.html Posted At 13:33:08 06/03/2001 I would like to say I have gone to bat for JERRY ON THIS SITE MORE THAN ONCE, and I will still say I got a good deal and the snakes were nice. But as far as going to bat for Jerry again I don't believe I will. I'm starting to think as was just lucky. Three strikes and your out I think from what I've heard there's been more than three strikes used. I would also like to apologize for some of the smart a** remarks i might of made in sticking up for him. sincerly billie garr. |

Re: dealings with jerry tubbs
4065.html Posted At 22:19:37 06/03/2001 i recently sent jerry 2 of my boas. after a month or so and 2 weeks of e-mailing him with no replies, i got really agitated and put up a few ads about him.. i talked to them for the first time last night and his e-mail had been down due to a virus or something. so we have jumped to conclusions and said a lot of things to him and about him that we shouldn't have. so please write off the last post we posted and we greatly apologize for brittney's immature namecalling. we were wrong, he wasn't trying to steal our snakes or avoiding us, and we apologize to jerry ad to everyone else whose fire we fueled by our complaints. thanks, joey and brittney p.s. i will let everyone know what the snake he sends me looks like, or if i feel ripped off. thanks and once again, sorry for the misunderstanding. we were wrong and apologize to jerry and to everyone else that has listened to u complain. |

4093.html Posted At 00:07:25 06/05/2001 I would like to say I do not know MR Tubbs but If he did have a virus then you guys are lucky he did not reply to any of your emails(then you would have it to) So he did put his # on the post so If you guys did not call him then thats your fault. Like I said I dont know him and probly would never do any reptile dealings with him but I have had a few virus's and It's not fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 2cents Thanks Chris Jones |
