Not true. I had contacted Dan about a patternless ETB that he had for sale. He had listed it for $500 but reduced his price to $250 because he thought it was "thin"
Quote:
Erik, I have been feeding the emerald about once every 10 days a mouse and it seems that its a bit underweight etc. I am not sure I would want 500 for it. I would feel safer just shipping it to you and you make an offer as its more like a 300 dollar snake despite it eats fine and looks fine and is otherwise healthy, I want you to be in charge of selecting your pets.

I took the snake in and fed it a rat pup. Surprisingly, a 4.5' ETB couldn't take a rat pup.
Wierd, my 3.5' ETB WC male takes them like candy.

Days later he sent photos showing the snake on a perch just an inch from the tube light. I asked Eric to get the snake away from the heat. He said it was fine and ignored my advice.

Yes, I should have reached in and wrestled it from its perch. that's a flourescent light, not incandescent.

true, and I did not take Dan's advice to confine a 4.5' ETB to a 10 gallon aquarium to keep it from wandering and wandering makes them regurge. Wierd.

I have never claimed to smoking grass here. I haven't for years, my hair can prove it. I was drunk, however.

The only time these snakes were force fed was by the vet with a tube because they were dangerously underweight.
[quote=Dan Scolaro]Despite I sent him a free snake, he sent me 100 dollars for it against my wishes and months later complained about the snake it in other threads.

I had sent you that $75 because I felt bad about the whole deal. You sent me an ETB, that's cool, for almost NOTHING, I was flabbergasted, I wanted you to get some value out of it.

I suggest, Dan, that you post any and all email correspondence.

=Dan Scolaro]well you are talking to a guy with 400 snakes and I spend about 2000 a week or more on snakes and if I advertised the female amazon basin for 500 and someone else bought it, then you might be asking me why I never mentioned it to you especially after you mentioned their desire to me.
