But I dont remember even seeing the mods talk about bout ben. Unless hes from big apple herps. If he is, well DURP. He put the picture of a friggin' african GIANT bullfrog, and the whole identification of it. I mean had he atleast put the actual pictures of the frog. Like the actual pictures of the whole group and several individual frogs. Then maybe it wouldnt have had happened. Hed gotten an email saying "thats a dwarf" hed change it to dwarf. Then nobody would have complained. But reading the post of jeff kennedy, he got ripped off I THINK 125-130bucks from BIG APPLE HERPS. Because of the whole thing I just said. Iam assuming ben siegel is from big apple herps. I looked at their website, and some animals are abit "off".

Overall reason his post was probably deleted:
-Rudenesss
-Dissing this site directly
-Dissing the mods directly
His whole thread sounded like a hate thread. The rest I dont really know. But hes posted on two threads angry. That should speak for itself bro.
He isn't connected to big apple as far as I know. He has his own business if you care to search the web for "ben siegel reptiles" you will find it. His kingsnake adds were some of the first to show up with these tanzanian imports and as far as I can tell the photos are of some of the actual frogs that came in, not like the stock photo of a juvenile south african giant on big apples site. They have used that same stock photo for years. Now these tanzanian pixies are not the same as the south african ones that have been known as "giants" in the past, but I have no reason to doubt that in the import paperwork they were listed as giants. Selling them simply as tanzanian pixies is probably the easiest way to avoid confusion from now on though.
