Not to mention the safety risks he is taking. What happens when someone gets bit and possibly dies on one of his trips, or when he sells a poisonous snake to someone who has no experience with them?

I know you never want to wish someone something bad but I really hope people like him get bitten and don't make it.

This guy seems a bit off to say the least. And what the hell is a Indian black tailed python?

[shaggybill]

Geez, talk about putting a strain on wild populations. I hope this guy falls off a cliff on one of his "tours". Did you read the part where he says, "Who says theres a shortage of rattlesnakes?" 110 rattlers caught in 7 days. Grrr...

[herpetological]

What a shame... He's so busy trying to build himself up that he has no concern for the species he's collecting. Someone else that's more interested in money and fame than being concerned if the species and numbers he's collecting are sustainable. Check out his non-herp related links... a little off?? I'd say so!

hehe did you guys read his "secret ufo info" hehe
or the "For All Interested Females" section

This guy has been a bain for years.

Thanks B.W. good to have that link. Many in the business have known about him for years. Maybe this will discourage people from buying from him and again, maybe they will question were the "timbers" that they do purchase are from. Just as with EDB's Timbers only produce every 2-3 years in the wild. Hard for them to recover from hits from people like him!!!

[ranmasatome]

omg!! this is the result when dumb people procreate!!
Dumb-er people.....i sometimes really wish he just laid over and died.

[BWSmith]

he he. I was talking to one field herper that has special permission to herp this guys land and photograph Timbers. The only stipulation is that he has to go armed and has standing orders to shoot CobraKing on sight if he is up there poaching LOL

[BoidKeeper]

What a piece of work. Thanks for the link BW.
Cheers,
Trevor

[reptile boi]

BWSmith, are you serious bout the field herper you talked to being allowed to shoot the cobraking on sight if he sees him? If so, tell him to find the cobraking ASAP!




thanks,
Ben

Maybe it's the personals add or the bit on UFO's but it seems strange that there are those that take this guy seriously. I don't mean that he isn't a serious threat as a poacher, but as somebody you want to give $5000 to and take you out in the bush...

LOL!!! damn hes smooth...


what a knucklehead...hopefully buddy finds him and drops him on site.:)

At first glance I thought this guy had imported cobras, then set them “free” in a sort of game reserve and was then guiding snake-hunters in to get them. =) First thing I thought of was BW, thought that would give him a heart attack. But, next day I had more time and read it closer. He offers guided snake tours, he does not specify cobra or timbers, only tours. Ha ha, in my humble opinion, if he can get someone to pay him $5,000 to guide them to gater and rat snakes, then I say more power to him. If he gets enough satisfied customers, don’t be surprised to see “Cottonmouth King Hurd” offering $5,000 guided tours in up state Alabama. Ha ha.

This dude is a regular Dale Gribble. This banjo pickin, toothless goober has more conspiracy theories than a whole season of the X Files.

[Rhaco]

Does he have an e-mail adress? I have one or two things to say to this pathetic clown!
