    Michigan buyers beware

    I will not go into the full details, I will just say this man sold me a Spider with an infected tail at a show in Taylor.
    I have sent him pictures and sent several e-mails to try and rectify the problem. I have called and well basically he has not responded to anything. Basically saying "It's your problem now" even though it was "oh she just had a bad shed" when purchased.
    To me it is a cowardice move and also bad for business and the world of Reptiles.
    Since it may be called slander or what not, I will only give the initials of the bum,
    R.R. and something about a Cellar.... If your familiar with what I'm getting at, PLEASE think 4 times before buying from this bum. You will end up on the losing end.

    Good luck!

    Thank you so much for the heads up. I am currently looking for a good breeder around me. Saying that, I'll keep those initials in mind and put 2&2 together when I come across the BP I'm looking for!
    Thank you

    This should have gone in the inquiries and feedback area

    And you need to name the individual

    You didnt suspect anything when you purchased it besides a bad shed?

    slander is only slander if its untrue

    I sent a PM to 8-Ball, he said the guy's name is Russ Renbarger calls his "Business" the "Reptile Cellar"

    Wow a cellar, no wonder

    Got pics? And was this a regularly priced animal or was there a discount for the "bad shed"?

    You did inspect it before purchase, did you not?

    I'm pretty sure I remember your thread with the pictures of its tail.. that's terrible, just goes to show that they are a breeder who is in it for the money and not for the animals' welfare. If it had been a snake I had sold (even though I'm not yet a breeder), I'd have done everything I could to right the wrong.

    Already posted them on here awhile back asking for help as to what it may be.
    Yes a wooping $20 off.

    Yes of course. Read my original post.

    I am not a ultimate experienced bp owner (little over a year). So this is new to me and many others did not know what it was either. I have a vet appointment for her this Friday. Then I will be able to put a name on what this is that is "Wound"

    Well, let me just go search through thousands of posts to see if I can find the one you're referring to; after all why should you bother to post a link or, heaven forfend, repeat posting the picture for those who just may have, somehow, poor pitiful fools that we are, missed your initial thread about this.

    Yeah, not.

    Buyers remorse?
