I don't speak very often on topics like this one, but what really gets me going is after I read a few of these reviews on BOI and even the ones here on BPN is:



When someone who has never had a transaction or even talked to a vender has to put their in on something that they don't even know about. I don't want to start any trouble, but there a few folks on this site that feel they need to add to the fire on topics. They really have no clue or business speaking about. They normally start with: 'I heard............' or 'Everyone has told me.......' or 'On the BOI it says.........(with some link to a post that is 3 years old)' I swear this comes out of jealousy



On the honest topic, I am as honest as my knowledge of the topic is, I am known to tell folks ‘I just don’t know’ but some folks read that as being dishonest and trying to hide something, when I am being honest and leaving it in the buyers hands to decide or seek more info.



As for honest venders, I tend to shy away from the larger reptile dealers because of the honest issue. They have so many animals that they buy from so many breeders how do they know about all the animals? Dealers are in it for the $$$$$. I prefer to buy direct from the breeder when possible. I will go back to those that have treated me good.
