Jarrod Greer, Bad Guy
Just my experience with my first snake purchase.
Armed with my "Ball Python Manual" I set off to our local monthly expo here in Kentucky; hopefully to pick up a new addition. I arrived to a much smaller show than I expected but decided to look around.
There were a lot of ball python's, most CH (like the one I purchased) of course. The only CBB I saw were overly priced morphs, and one normal, who looked quite sickly. So after looking around, seeing most of the BPs housed in huge bundles in rubbermaids or housed in very tiny tupperware, i understand thats the show, just what I noticed.
But then I saw some BPs in some nice display cages and handled by a man who seemed to know what he was doing so I decided to pick-up a little guy I had my eye on. I was in a rush to get home so I neglected to ask more questions, which I regret now.
I come to find out through multiple e-mails that this BP came through Jarod Greer, and the guy who actually sold me the snake did not know all that much about the snake.
Here's where it turns sour:
I chose to join the online EKRE forums under the name "Nicili" and promptly sent a PM just asking about the hatchling's feeding record to Jarrod as he is both the admin of the forums and the owner of the expo.
I come to find out tonight that my account "does not exist" anymore, to my confusion. I have since re-registered and re-sent the message and tonight I did a little BOI search and found out he has treated others badly in the past.
So just explaining my expierence, I don't know if I will ever be heading back to the local expo again.
