4343.html Posted At 05:23:16 06/10/2001 Rich is a buddy of mine, and I have done business with him more times than I can count, as well as witnessed several of his dealings. He is a straight-up, honest guy that won't steer you wrong. Plus, that's a nice boa and he takes excellent care of his animals. Another tidbit here, is that he isn't another backyard "dealer". He's a hobbyist and an educator. That has got to mean something in this mess of over-saturated markets and dime-bag herp dealers. He's one of the good guys. Jeff |

4372.html Posted At 21:46:52 06/10/2001 Good point Clint. I dodn't mean to offend anyone out there. But you may have also noticed my point in that if the facility is shoddy, so shall the business be. Hole-in-the-wall dealers usually do hole-in-the-wall business. I often wonder if many crappy dealers are in this business because it is one of the most forgiving businesses out there, and one of the easiest to get into. Obviously, one doesn't have to be intelligent or honest to deal large quantities of live animals. Unfortunate for the animals. At least Rich is one of the good guys. |
