The only thing I find strange, is that I also saw other people saying that he was supposed to send them some of those same animals. And another girl was literally begging for the sand boa and he said several times that he was not letting it go to anyone. I am wondering if it was just smoke and mirrors and he never really intended to send anything out?

Sounds more like he's going to try to pull the temporary vanishing/re-branding act. We've seen it dozens of times when people turn bad.

They'll fall off the face of the earth for a short while after claiming they're getting their act together/getting out of the business. Then, suddenly, they're back either with the same name and same issues hoping everyone has forgotten, or under an entirely new alias/business name, again without ever having fixed anything.

I'd definitely say to keep an eye out for his particular name/contact information being posted anywhere on classified sites and the like to see if he does try to come back under a new alias. And definitely be wary of anyone with his contact info that suddenly has super nice pictures as we've seen its obvious he is willing to steal other's pictures for his business website.

That was you!!! With the sand boa. d'oh. I could have sworn her name was Melissa. Thanks for clearing that up. But I did have another person tell me they were getting that same milk snake. That is why I still don't get it.

The problem is that I don't think we have any proof just yet that he didn't take those pictures. No one has claimed them. Maybe he took them at a show. They're certainly not his reptiles/setups though.

Lol, yes that was me, Begging for him to take my money in exchange for the sand boa. I did not even want the milk snake. He stated once he finally agreed to let me take the sand boa that he would throw in the Milk. I didnt want the Rat either. But i wanted the Horn and the Sand (obviously)... I lost contact with him around this time yesterday. I called Zoo Creature's in Plaistow NH at around 5 o'Clock last night on my way to work and they stated that he had called and asked if they would take the Sav and the Torti. but never dropped them off. I called him today, and he changed his story 3 or 4 times in our short 5 min phone conversation

No, it is verified that they are not his. Below is the list of all the ones I found that were stolen and their original sites.

Home page bp pic - Stolen from wikipedia page on ball pythons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_regius
About us iguana pic - Stock image found on dozens of sites http://www.tineye.com/search/be6d5ac...ore&order=desc
Online store top right image - Taken from stock image site http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/ph...image/86529885
Contact us Pied - Found on thousands of sites as a stock image https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...w=1280&bih=909
Also, all of his banner images linked back to similar locations as this tortoise on educational/stock photo sites - http://www.edupic.net/Images/Turtles...ortoise020.JPG

So at this point absolutely the only images that can be linked back to originally being taken by him are the dirty cages and unhealthy animals being handled by him and children, and even then not all of those were his.

Things sure aren't sounding good as far as his re-homing his animals.
Has anybody called animal control to see if Paul's story, of their seizing his animals, is legit?
