Terry Lilley is at it again
Good old Terry Lilley is up to no good again as usual. He is advertising the Silver Tanimbars as Leucistic Blue-tongues, and using my pic in the ad! When Terry originally traded Jeff Litterll (another real piece of work) for some of his Tanimbars, I vouched for the skinks, and I spoke with Terry about them, and I filled him on the genetics behind them. I told him they are NOT Leucistic, and that they might possibly be anerytheristic. I told him that some specimens do fade with age, and become almost patternless, but that they are not leucistic. He asked If he could use my pic to advertise them, and I told him that would be fine. Last night I saw that he was misrepresenting the skinks and My pic. So I responded to his ad with this: "Please remove my pic from your ad immediately." Today the pic was still up, so I replied again with this: "Remove my pic from your ad at once." This is what I got back as his response:
"I will remove the photo but you are sure an a**hole! (sorry I had to edit that out) Dont you have anything better to do? And by the way you gave me permission to use the photo so why dont you go screw your skinks and just leave me alone!"
My response: I have been very forgiving up until now. I did not give you permission to use it in misrepresenting the skinks. They are not Leucistic, and I suggest that you use some common sense and remove my pic form your deceptive ad. I own the photo, and I have the actual photo to prove it. I would have had no problem had you represented them honestly. People associate me with that pic, and if you choose not to represent the pic and the skinks honestly, then leave me and my photos out of it. I do not want to be involved or connected with your lies in anyway, and now that you have chosen to show your true colors, You should not expect me to be changing my mind. I also would not count on me for any referrals, and I get calls every day from people looking for rare BTS. Take your own pic and use it, but leave me out of your lies!
Well it is still up. What a guy. If anyone has any question in regard to my knowledge of Blue-tongued Skinks. I will say that I have devoted the last 10 years almost entirely to BTS, and I have published articles on them in Reptiles Magazine and Reptiles USA Annual. I also have a book in the works on the subject of Tiliqua.
