Tribal Reptile Co. Good for Me

Name: Shaun Miller
With all the flak, I thought I might show a positive about Tribal Reptile

I bought a carpet baby for $70 in September somewhat soon after the 11th and it arrived the next day by airborne. It was my first online purchase and I had no problems. They were helpful on the phone and online with me and I am very paranoid about this sort of thing. The total came out to be $117 with shipping. My only regret is that I did not wait until now when the same carpets are now $40!! Oh, the animal is still alive and in good health eating and growing quite rapidly. When I sent the check I sent it as a package so I could have proof that I sent a check and that only added about $4 to the cost. Worth it to me. If Tribal happens to read this post, then keep it up and great website.

Shawn...I realize this is your first post ever, so I won't be that hard on you...BUT...Didn't you read the rules of this board BEFORE you posted??? WHY did you have to start ANOTHER thread on an ALREADY-WORKING post??? Great! You had a good deal with Tim and Chris...you should have put it on the END of the other one!! I HOPE you'll remember this for the next time! (Unless Rich decides to DELETE this post&#33<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> ....Neil

I bought three snakes from Tribal Reptile Co a couple of months ago. I had a good experience and have three cool snakes that are doing well. I talked at length to one of the people there and he was polite and informative. I have good things to say about them!

Neil, Are you working for Rich now? Why don't you let HIM address the issue if he has a problem with it? Are you going to correct everyone who responds to this post by telling them they should have responded to the original thread also?
I am truly grateful for this site and think it offers the oppurtunity for people in the hobby to share some valuable information, But everywhere I turn on here you are offering up your angry, belligerent and VERY opinionated views on what is right and what is wrong. GROW UP!

The other post was a bad guy post. This is a good guy post. It should not only stay, but is warranted.

Again as I have said, I never purchased or done any kind of buisiness with Tribal, but would not hesitate to in the future. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Hey Jackie....Do you REALLY think I give a darn if you like MY OPINIONS or not??? Here's a quarter...go call someone who gives a XXXX! If you don't like MY opinions...that's YOUR opinion! (and your opinion is wrong, anyway! lol) You think I'm belligerant because I hate it when people can't seem to read SIMPLE RULES??? The ONE THING that REALLY gets to me, is STUPIDITY!! I call it like I see it! I don't care WHO you are! Ya think Rich has the time to read every post in here?....we have to police OURSELVES!! Ya know...like ADULTS??? It sets a "great" example for the young kids out there to know that "supposedly" grown-up people, who want them as customers, can't seem to play the game the way it's supposed to be played! If you want to call my pointing that out, being an a$$...so be it! I can guarantee you, that if I make a mistake...there will be LOADS of folks who are ready, willing and able to jump down my throat (if it's warranted), but...I try to PLAY BY THE RULES!! Hey, if you can't handle criticism...get OUT of the game!! If I can dish it out, I had BETTER know how to TAKE IT! Come on...you want to verbally spar some more?? And YES! IF this WAS my site...I WOULD HAVE deleted the whole thread with an explanation to the writer! Rich, obviously, has his own reasons for leaving this thread on...that's HIS choice! He MIGHT not have even SEEN IT yet??? Whether you think it's belligerance, arrogance, egomania, self-absorption, or suicidal-tendancies!....in THIS case...., as Ritchie plainy states in his "disclaimer"....if you don't like MY opinion....SUE ME!! ....Neil

Neil, You mention in your post about young kids looking towards us "grown ups" and being able to follow the rules yet you use subtle spelling such as "a$$" and you don't give a "xxxx". I would think that the majority of kids reading your post understand the meaning behind these symbols. You truly are a man of parodox! True it is better to use alternate spelling instead of the actual word but I firmly believe it shows your double standard way of thinking.

One more thing...since you brought it up....
Yes! You see me ALL OVER this site with my "very opinionated, belligerant" ideas, because I am TRULY TRYING to put some CONSCIENCE and FAIR PLAY into this industry! I mean, geez...look how many industries are PERCEIVED as "dirty": lawyers, politicians, law enforcement, big business, and on and on and on and on....we ALREADY work in an industry where MILLIONS of people are SCARED TO DEATH of these gorgeous creatures....do you want to give them MORE reasons??? I guess my problem (not) is...I HATE HINDSIGHT!! If you can think it through, wearing THE OTHER GUY'S HAT....you can usually come out ahead of the game! All I EVER try to get across o this site is THINK BEFORE YOU DO! ....Neil

This has nothing to do with this Thread. But does have to do with scaring people. I had some people over who like to look at snake but are scared of them. So I tell them there is nothing to worry about as I reached in a cage forgeting I ahd just handled some rodents. As they watched an adult Carpet &nbsp;python latched onto me. LOL Didn't help thier fear any. Just a story nothing more.
