    Re: Ben Siegel Reptiles, wow what is going on?

    While there was no need for this to go public, if he is having a break down, it's out of his control in a way. I wouldn't put this as a mark against him or his business, hell it could be a cry for help and this is how he decided to ask.

    I don't know anything except what Ben said on the phone to me. I obviously can't tell you how much of anyone's story is true - I just called the shop and spoke with Ben and have only repeated what he said to me. I am over in Washington, which is pretty far removed from Florida to know anything factual. Sounds like a bunch of marriage drama that sucks to be out in the open. I just hope people aren't making any more rash decisions, and stuff gets settled properly.

    FWIW, if Ben is having a breakdown, what he needs right now is help. Nobody is "above" having a mental illness and it is a crying shame that MI issues are looked down on so much in our society. I hope Ben is able to get the help he needs. Saying anything against BSR at this point would be counterproductive to the reptile community as a whole.

    Why would he tell you over the phone anything different that what's being posted on FB? He doesn't know you from Adam, so he's going to keep up with the "I've been robbed" story.

    I will do my best in keeping everyone updated. I am only posting this because I would want to know what the hell was going on. I was a HUGE BSR fan before getting my job there, so I know where everyone is coming from.

    I don't blame anyone for not wanting to purchase from him, you'll get no hard feelings from me. Just understand at no point is anyone's information not safe or at risk of being unsecure.

    I'm not taking a shot at his business, I got my first Ball from BSR and I love her to death and she was everything and more he said she was. But firing employees over FB, claiming people "stole" snakes and posting what he's posting on FB is not the right way to handle your business. I do hope things get resolved soon for everyone's sake cause he is a good guy.

    He has had a really tough year. The tragedy with the bug-eating contest, and Jerry Tresser stealing the monkey-tailed skink, and now this.

    This doesn't appear to be some A* hole move, mental break down is what it is. When this is over, hopefully there can be some apologizing done and he can move forward.

    so what was the peak? 370 something?
