    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....

Bad Guy Tyson Shuler and Taylor Alfs - Exotic Wonders of the Permian Basin - Midland Texas

i was gona let all that slide but constantly people tell me how they have cheated others also and they wanted me to ban them from our group. then tyson started running his mouth so i started this thread.
 
did you ever see taylor deny the mites? did u see tyson deny the ri? Tyson told me on the phone when i got home that he always gargles and thats normal. After treating with reptile spray I made taylor come wash the mites off himself. I was gona let all that slide but every day almost people are asking me to ban them from the group so i did. then he started running his mouth to me so i started this bad guy thread.
 
I had a few minutes to kill so i put the texts in order, there is a bit of scrolling involved if you wish to read them but it is slightly easier to understand with them numbered.

The screen shots of the texts were numbered from top to bottom.

i think i missed some shots also but the point is across and i didnt come here to argue with yall. if yall wana argue with each other thats fine im gona be silent now until tyson has the guts to come forward
 
I seem to have missed the vet report and the pictures of the mites.

Hmmmm. No mite pictures, although almost everyone has a camera on their phone these days. No pictures of the cage that was reportedly having a structural issue. No vet report.


Seems to me as if you think this is one of those high school boards where people call each other out and talk smack. In fact, if you don't offer proof, people might just discount a lot of accusations made.
 
WHO is Posting? Sean or Shannon? Only Shannon should be posting on your account...as her name is the name on the account. It's so confusing!
 
SeanSmith said:
discount and delete i dont care :) like i said the point was made

Hun, the point is not made. I am now the second person in Texas who is posting and I can't make heads or tails of your evidence either. The only people who could must know the whole story already.

You lost me on the text messages. I got a headache too, and quit waiting for a point.

If these guys are selling sick and mite infested animals and you are truly invested in letting potential buyers know this, then please take the time to organize your evidence so that others really can see what you are talking about. Otherwise, the only people that you are convincing are the people who already know. lol
 
just take this advice, if you ever find him selling something your interested ask him some questions about it. he is clueless to reptiles in general and shouldnt be telling people hes been breeding a long time. Doubt he can even tell you where is green tree python comes from that hes been trying to sell on texas reptile classifieds. even brett bloom said once that he didnt deal with him because he had a gut feeling and realized the guy had a lack of knowledge.
 
Thank you for attempting to leave my name out of you little squabble. I have never delt with Tyson or Taylor, but have spoken to them both in the past. Both did not seem to have any knowledge of any of the animals they had, nor did they know who produced them. I refused to sell them some of my animals due to the fact that they both seemed really strange and the questions they were asking me were about my personal schedule and the order and position of animals in my snake room. As for the mites, RI and other issues, like I said on Facebook, without actual proof Sean, yOu have no case and really no credibility with the accusations. It is not really a case of believing you over them, as everyone says, it is the fact that the physical evidence and photos are non existent
 
The OP posted without any proof and the ONLY person who actually knows when happened also states that the OP had not produced any proof. WHY come to the BOI without proof, bad mouth someone and then pretty much say "Too bad, you figure it out" to the people asking questions...

From the outside looking in, seems the OP had personal issues against Tyson and Taylor....if she doesn't, she apparently cares little about her character

your right i dont have pictures of mines but i made taylor alfs come wash them off. I never took the burm to the vet but i used a prescription antibiotic they gave me for a different case. I have multiple eye witnesses if both of those claims and still have the vision and the old glass but bought new glass for it.

Why on earth would you use a prescription antibiotic that was NOT prescribed for this current snake to treat Tthe current snake when you don't even know for sure what is wrong with it? This shows poor judgement and husbandry on your behalf in my opinion.

You really have shown no proof. You keep saying the bad guy knew nothing about reptiles.From what I gather from the texts, the bad guy admits a few times that he is still learning. I'm not saying that you are not telling the truth, but I just see absolutely no evidence one way or another.

And again, NOTHING gets deleted on the BOI.
 
Bad experience with Tyson

Ok so I have a negative expierience with Tyson as well. My good friend went into his store and bought a 5 foot red tail boa. He doesn't have experience with reptiles so he didn't know any better but they sold him a 2 ft cage with it (We've since built him a much bigger cage). Being that this cage was no where near big enough for this snake, I call this irresponsible. To me, it seems like Tyson doesn't care about the well being of his animals once they leave his store and I think that's awful. I have had only good experiences with Sean, the red tail we got from him is healthy and beautiful.
