A couple of questions for Neil Gub...The Snake Pit

Well after all the posts about the Snake Pit I decided to check it out myself.  I was lucky enough to have to be in Tampa for other bussiness and dropped by on Friday morning.  I found a very nice shop.  Good animals, friendly owner, much better than many other shops I have visited.  Sure he smokes but the shop was not smokey or smelly.  As I have nvere smoked cigs., I pick up on that smell easily.  OBTW it was cold when I was there, so if ever there was a chance for odors that was it.  I noticed that the cages were clean and all the animals appeared healthy and unstressed.  All in all I was impressed.

Well I have several points to make on this one ...... First and foremost is the fact that the person who originally started the thread but making the complaint should be posting under their real name ...... Second is the fact that when things were said it was handled wrong and I think everyone agrees on that.  Third ... I loved Lulliana's " my balls are bigger " remark in reference to how some people post ( got a good chuckle from that one ) and I must agree that the issues at hand should be dealt with and no one should attack someone personally.  Fourth ..... I am a breeder and I keep many cages and it can be tough to be on top of everything all the time but I looked at those pictures Neil posted on page six and I was totally impressed because as far as pet stores are concerned none that I have seen with the exception of Ben Siegel's or Snakes at Sunset have ever put that much effort into their caging and it shows in those pics, with the amount of time, effort and money to not only set up but maintain those cages on a daily bassis, most store keepers would not bother and THEY WERE CLEAN !!!  I wish all my cages looked that nice on a daily bassis, because as much as I try they dont !  Fifth .... I have never done business with Neil and I only know him from this board and have never been in his shop but plan to visit in the future where we can have a smoke ( I have the same bad habit ) and Sixth ...... If you disagree with anything in this post and wish to attack me personally, then is is something I think you should know in advance ..... MY BALLS ARE BIGGER THAN YOURS !!!!  ( LOL )

This is so rediculous. Rich, I am begging you, Please stop these people from ruining your BOI. Once again, not what board was intended for. Mister, if you have nothing better to do then pick at poop, come pick all my cages clean. Unless I see or smell a bowl of poop soup going on in a cage, it does not get my immediate attention. And another thing, I would be more apt to by an animal if I see that weeks poo in the cage! That tells me the animal is being fed and it is eating! If you have a problem with the man, then go have it out with him in person like a real man would. Don't start childish games on here. We have enough of that already. Neil, if you have animals that are not pooping, then you can worry. Do not worry about this crap! lol &nbsp;Your poopy caged female fellow herper-Roberta <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Roberta is 100% right, this began as nothing more than a personal attack and the person who started it has been proven to be someone who just wants to stir things up about someone for whatever personal difference he seems to have with Neil. &nbsp;Besides whats life without a little crap on the way ?
