    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Really!!! I mean i can clearly see mites all over that snake and on the paper below. Plus, GTP's are not dogs they don't hang around with their mouths open so there is no way the buyer could know whats going on inside the mouth of this snake. Have you ever tried to open a GTP's mouth, its not fun or easy and unless he had help from someone else who is experienced probably not possible (probably). Also, if your really a "herptologist" you would know that reptiles are masters at hiding illnesses and just because he is alive and perched with tons of mites does not prove your point. I find it very hard to believe that a snake can develop that serious of an infection in just 1 month. In fact i bet you its impossible unless it already arrived in that condition.

Finally, i find it very hard to believe that you have a vet check each of your animals before they are shipped and sold. It should be very easy for you to provide proof that these animals are checked by your vet. Please don't give us the Oh my vet doesn't give me copies since we have an arrangment or doesn't keep records and so forth. If your going to make claims like that than you should be able to back them up with proof. Not to mention that the only reason you would need a vet to check an animal before a sale is if you see something suspicious or if they are wild caught. When i see your ad's on here i see you sell everything from uros to almost any species of snake and anything else you can get your hands on. So.... I'm not suprised that this would happen its not easy to manage so many diff species all needing diff requirements especially when your getting them for a really good price (usually just means they are wild caught or came from really bad owners who just want to get ride of them, even if its for free).

Listen, you don't sound like a bad guy the fact that you had him make a donation to a friend in lieu of the payment to you shows otherwise (unless this was your intention all along). Try to put your pride aside and just do what's right. I had a similiar situtation that happened to me not to long ago so I do understand that things like this do happen, especially with snakes but those pics speak for themselves.

To anyone else reading this, I can't seem to understand why anyone would buy a GTP or other high end animal that does not have any proof of origin, background or that was not CB. Nowadays, their are tons and tons of reputable breeders of GTP's, why anyone would buy a wild caught animal is beside me. The $100 or $200 you save ends up costing you alot more in vet bills in the end and even more emotionally.

To boot its this poor kids b-day today! im not kidding! why randy was it necessary to fire good honest employees over this matter between you and I dont take it out on the good guy cause you were caught in your own self made mess!
 
Granted, it's been a long time since I have even looked at a GTP....but that Biak looks pretty bad in each of the photos posted. The spine seems overly prominent and ridged, to me. (If more experienced GTP keepers think it looks fine, forget I was even here)
 
Jarrit, please give Josh my pm/email. I want to hear from him how this firing went down. To fire a young person for telling the truth is despicable :angry:
 
Not to butt in on this, because frankly it's none of my business. However, I am looking for a hard working honest staff member at this time. Perhaps Josh would be contacted to contact me? However, my insurance requires all staff members to be at least 18 yrs of age, because of the venomous animals in the store that we sell. So Josh, if you're at least 18 and would actually like to be paid for what you do, and learn a lot of stuff about herps and other exotics, stop on by. I am not looking for volunteers please.
