High End Herps (Inquiry)

There was someone working in the rodent breeding area, but I could care less about seeing feeder animals to be quite honest, I never like to get attached(believe me I have a damn pet rat in my living room now lol, but he is cool). There were many cages, homemade mostly but lots of sweater box type things for the smaller animals and such. I would say for large constrictors there were at least 50 cages and then tons of smaller cages with other stuff. My passion is AfRocks so I was looking mostly at those, and the patternless are sooo awesome I might add, but there was definately a lot of stuff and a lot of morphs and such. The albino granite that fell under a lot of question as to being kept in to small of a cage looked fine(in shed when I got there) and she is BIG, but she had plenty of room for a burm, as they are not active, especially at that size when well fed. Also honestly I was concerned about the screen/wire(whatever the proper term) fronts with the retics, knowing how much they like to push, but not one of them had a mark on their face, I was shocked. He said he hasnt had one problem with them, and it showed. They are obliviously cared for and content, because anyone who has kept retics knows they will push for food, or even boredom or lack of space, and Afrocks are pushers too if upset. All in all I was impressed and felt comfortable leaving my animals behind there, otherwise they would have been staying in NJ with a friend who offered to take them for a bit if things did not work out, until I got myself together. Irregardless to the outcome of this whole thread I feel 100 percent confident in the well being of my animals there and other than with myself would rather have them nowhere else. I have pics since they have been down there, and they look excellent, healthy and happy, what more can I ask for? I probably come off a bit selfish, and in this case I am, I worry much more about my animals well being than who David is/was/will be. To me it's not important, because the person I met cares for his animals as much as I do, and sadly this day in age people see numbers not individuals, so this is rare. Its all about increasing profits and so forth, while David is out to make money, and who isnt, I can tell you he does care very much about those animals, and that is something you can not lie about. Its not about what a person says, its the way their face lights up when they talk about them and interact with them, that childish almost giddy nature of absolute bliss. Will David come thru on his baby deal with me, only time will tell, but until then I feel that he will, and has given me no reason whatsoever to disbelieve him, regardless of anything that has been said here. Really back to work this time, Dan M.

Let's see...

* Convicted (of homicide, no less) felon, has already had to give up collection once to spend quality time incarcerated - reptiles he supposedly cares about so much his face lights up

* Serious threats to people after being released - doesn't sound too rehabbed, eh?

* Alleged robberie(s) and/or burglarie(s) of animals (reptiles he supposedly cares about so much his face lights up)

* Defending another (alleged) piece of scum for a theft of reptiles (reptiles he supposedly cares about so much his face lights up)

* Caught in lies, over and over again - even admittedly

* Feces all the hell over enclosures; evident in pictures (reptiles he supposedly cares about so much his face lights up)

* Multiple personalities and identities

* Misrepresents animals, doctors pictures (reptiles he supposedly cares about so much his face lights up)

* Misrepresents business size and experience

* Misrepresents business existance

* Dillusional

* Keeps and transports animals illegally and then ditches when he should have taken it like a man (reptiles he supposedly cares about so much his face lights up)

You bet, I would feel 100% confident that my snakes were going to be well taken care of by a person of this caliber!!! :: insert sarcasm ::

C'mon Dan... There is the distinct possibility that he is hiding from the law and/or runs the risk of being or getting in trouble again, he's a thief, he was convicted of homicide, he has dillusions of grandeur, he is a pathological liar, and is most likely clinically paranoid delusional - big breeders conspired to deliberately infect his collection with IBD???? I don't know if that's sad, comical, insane, or utterly assinine; all of those, actually.

Am I a psychologist? Nope, and I'm not a rocket scientist; I have no need to be either. Neither do you.

How long until the law catches up to him or he implodes, and your animals are quickly sold off or abandoned? Yesiree, I'd be really confident they're in a safe place.
