I was not impressed with them when I emailed them about their banded water snakes. I said, please send photos of the best looking animals from the group, I am looking for any hypos or reds you may have. One of the snakes I got photos of was emaciated and none of them looked great... And that was supposed to be the best. Then at that same time I saw an ad they had out for an albino checkered garter snake that clearly had advanced scale rot and it was being blown off in the ad as no big deal. if that was a BP or any other python they would have felt differently. Companies that treat natricines like crap and as junk snakes rub me the wrong way, plain and simple.

I feel the same way. I'd rather keep these sorts of stuff on the fauna classifieds BOI...and away from our forum on here

These threads are not for bashing anyone. They are for finding out what companies or persons can be trusted to do business with. If you are a outstanding business and give great service, then a thread like this will promote your business. It helps others from not getting ripped off by people who give poor service or low quality animals.

I'm on here with people I trust and know and I want to know what they think about a certain business, so I can decide if I want to business with them. I thought that what these forums were for, to help and learn from each other.

I agree with Jerry. I just spent alot of money I don't have and some of a friends money to a breeder I don't know. If I get scammed and the someone asks about him wouldn't it be unfair if I didn't tell you? Anyway in this case I had some concerns about a company I was looking to do business with who seemed really shady when I started asking questions. I pm'd Jerry as opposed to post my experience because I honestly wasn't sure if ugr and these other people were the same or not.

PMing is a much better way to go to get info. Problem with a public thread like this is that it can easily lead to flaming and people can just feed off each others accusations. By the time its all said and done, even if the accused is able to get his/her defense in, in some peoples minds, if they were innocent, they would never be accused, thus guilty and then having to prove your innocence. A no win situation for the accused.

True, but as I had stated before, if the business is a upstanding business with a good reputation, it will promote their business. I know in my snake show business, I go buy word of mouth. If I don't have satisfied customers then I am out of business. I welcome people checking up on me and asking others what experiences they have had with me. This was an open question about this business, not asking for negative feed back or any name bashing. If any name bashing would have happened, I hope the Moderator would have stepped in and removed it.

Nothing wrong with asking about them. Any time i am looking for a snake the first person i check out to see if he has what i am looking for is Ben Siegel. He got great prices,animals, and always a pleasure to do business with.

Ben Siegel is a very upstanding business man to deal with. I would recommend him to everyone.

He truly set the bar for how a reptile business should be ran. I have got 4 snake from him and would buy from again without a second thought.
