Allen Belcher / Big Daddy's Wholesale ... WARNING

wow this is the craziest post i think i ever read in a forum lol.

WTF he's keeping bloods and retics... look at those poor balls, jeez. Those animals need to be rescued from that sh*thole ASAP.

I bought a large male sulcata tortoise from him at the Tampa reptile expo a couple years ago. He always displays his animals in good setups at the shows, but I'm shocked to see how his animals are cared for at his home.

I was working down south about 5 months ago and bought a tiger retic from Big Daddy. He was more than happy to show me his facility, including all snake and rodent buildings. All I can say is his place is perfect, he showed me several of his snakes. If you haven't seen his facility first hand then your opinion can't compete with my personal experience.

I would do business with him at any time. Not everyone will give a full tour of their facility and take that much time just to sell a single $100 snake. He's just a good guy running a decent business.

That was just absolutley disguisting to me, REGAURDLESS if those were just a few enclosures it is unexceptable. I honestley think some should call the animal control on him for the abuse to those animals. I can see if it goes a day or two, but after that it is straight neglect. It is good to see someone showing the true side to this man, and this would be the reason why he sells his animals so cheap. As far as his buisness practices goes, he is simply trying to push alot of animals threw his facility, and make money. But as far as his husbandry practices go, he needs to be beatin with a bamboo stick.

OMG! Those are horrible conditions for animals to be living in. When my snakes urinate or poop I clean the whole cage ASAP. this guy is unreal, those pics made me want to vomit. I can imagine the smell.... If his reptile facility is that gross and nasty imagine the living conditions in his home... or imagine this guys hygiene. This is AWFUL just AWFUL!

BigDaddy runs a big pile of $hit for a business.... he needs to find another way to make money instead of unloading IBD infested animals to people unkowing on the filth they come from!
