Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

You are ultimately responsible for your employees whether you are a manager or the owner of a company. You cannot blame employees for this. That did not go on unnoticed by the owner. Mack should be shut down for this abuse.

There is too much about blaming employees.
Is it that Mack (owner) blamed his emplyees and takes no responsibility?

Deb, you and Steve are the one's suggesting the employees are to blame by either laziness or not caring. Each time you have posted in this thread you have offered a different subjective variable that aims to fault the employees not the owner.Now you blame the owner. We get it. Hey John your still camped out in this thread. Anything you want to explain? Or maybe an apology to the reptile community?

Regarding this thread, I would like to add to it by sharing my own experiences. I purchased a leopard gecko from their Reptique portion of their site I believe March of last year. She was an albino patternless eclipse. She was promptly shipped and arrived in perfect condition and has been thriving ever since. I was very happy with the transaction.
On the other hand, I have worked at a pet store for which they are our supplier. This past winter there were at least three shipments where we had multiple reptiles arrived dead, obviously due to improper shipping practices. They were shipped on days that were much too cold and with insufficient heat packs. Despite my previous positive experience, due to these instances I would have dropped them as the store's supplier if I had been in the position to. I personally will not be purchasing from them again.

You guys seem to be missing the point, this video could have been made at ANY wholesale facility. It's just how they're run. You can take it out on Reptiles by Mack because they were specifically mentioned here, but the truth of the matter is that this is one example of many. I challenge you to go to ANY wholesaler's facility and find animals in proper conditions and not find dead animals in almost every enclosure. It's sad but true, that's why you shouldn't buy from them.

Maybe you missed the part in the video were you can the the employee wearing Reptiles By Mack t-shirts? Or you missed were John Mack was viewing this thread for the better part of an hour and said nothing? That speaks volumes to me.

I never took blame off of John Mack, I simply said his employees should also be at fault for neglecting to properly care for all those animals.
People looking to purchase a healthy quality animal should always seek out a breeder rather than purchasing something from a pet store, flipper or wholesaler.
