"possible animals for sale soon"

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Keep encouraging people to rape wildlife so that you can profit from it and you're going to agitate some folks around here.

that he wants to sell Green Iguanas sets the tone.

and why Tim does that "set the tone" ?
perhaps if you knew the demand here in Washington you'd understand

What they are saying is that there are so many people have taken from the wild, that where animals were once common are now very scarce....Collecting wild animals is not the way to go any more,most of us want captive bred and born, plus by doing so they are allready eating,and have no problems acclimating to a new enviroment.......Most of us have also gotten wild caught ourselves, but have also realized that it is more of a problem getting them to eat and acclimale than what it is worth.....Buying captive bred and born is so much easier.......I don't feel that the money is worth the problems that come with the wild caught animals, let alone the depleation of animals in there natural range.....Just my thoughts.......

Very good thoughts Andy.

Looks like someone got hold of a wholesale list. Are rubber boas legal to sell in Wa.?

Do you have any idea what the percentage is of baby iguanas sold that are still alive even 1 year after sale? How about 2 years? 5 years? Did you know that a healthy iguana can live over 20 years?

Wildcaught can make you money. So can robbing a liquor store.

Most here would rather purchase CBB or CB.

Finding founder stock or bringing in new bloodlines are great and sometimes wildcaught is the only way to go.

Wholesale decimation of populations is not so cool though and that is what happens when wholesalers get supplied with wildcaught specimens.

Maybe you're new and just didn't know.

Now you do.

What you do next will have an effect on your reputation and business.

that get dumped more than any other herp. 19 out of 20 will bite, scratch, whip tail, and run away. They DO NOT make GOOD herp pets. Not to mention the get 5-6 feet long and your average Joe public will not care for it properly.

Having grown up keeping Iguanas and doing rescues for the last 20 years qualifies me to voice these strong facts and opinions.

Supply in demand, Tim. He's just another scumbum out to make quick cash.

I'm just glad these kind of scumbums don't make it so hard for folks like us to weed them out.

you're a douchebag, someone ought to tell you that to your face.

I paid good money so i could post here, why don't you complain to someone else.


p.s. you should move out of your moms house CHUCK!
