    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....

Tom, I've been up to this store before, not within the past month or so but... That snake is the same one I saw last time, and the store is about as clean, perhaps a little cleaner. I only wish I had a single photo to prove it. ;)
 
Yawning a little...

Anything else we need to cover here?

Lets just put this one to bed for now.... Once ppl start with the personal attacks and tryin to dig up dirt on Tom to get the focus off them anybody that's got sense (tho not common anymore) can see what's going down... They also sayin one deaths no big deal well I bet that lizard has an opinion on that. Why not just humanely euthanize him instead of letting him needlessly suffer any longer. you said he was too far gone to save there's still no excuse for letting him go any longer in those conditions. And about Lucille and her "high horse" when it comes to the well being of any living thing you sit as high as you can Lucille! You have the animals best interest at heart like any animal lover should... Im outta here
 
We are good... It wasn't an AR. It was a new GoPro cam being tested out. For a friend, about a friend of mine we lost to drugs. I was mocking him... You wouldn't get the joke.

I'm sorry if you are offended. If you wanted to out me on trial, we'd be here all day, and wind up laughing about most of my antics. Let's not forget what the real thread is here for...

After watching the video again you did appear to be "playing around". I get it. It was kinda funny actually!

Completely having fun for a friend of mine. 'Twas a mock Blair Witch project. Lol. But, a friend of mine used to freak out off his drug of choice and do stuff similar to this... The poor soul!

This has nothing to do with the abuse these animals saw at AE. But, I'm a big boy! I don't do any drugs at all, I'm very weapons proficient, even though I have sold most. Was a former PI, bla bla. Should have been a 3rd Gen Marine. Who cares! The dead lizard's my fault! I get it now!
 
I guess I missed the euthanasia post sorry about that! But if they wanted to make an honest attempt to save him maybe some water and a clean stress free enclosure would have helped. ITS ALL YOUR FAULT TOM!
 
Oh no, poop in an enclosure!



...and it was cleaned up as soon as an employee walked by and saw it. Photo evidence, something this whole thread is lacking! :rofl:

How is anyone even sure the lizard was in a filthy cage? I see MAYBE a 7in X 7in square of that cage and the only thing not blurry is the lizard. Yes i see water spots. But thats common. Most of my tanks have waterspots on them too and they are not filthy. Granted im not sure what that substrate is. MAYBE if the op had bothered to step back a little and take a pic of the actual enclosure to prove it was filthy we would know. But he didnt. So all we have to go on is 1 terrible quality pic of a sick lizard and another pic of a clean store and healthy boa. We also have some arrest record tom bugged the store owner into posting. (taunting him to post any proof for 2000$ and then backtracked when it got posted) Im going to side with the store until Tom stops attacking everyone and gets some kind of proof for his side of the story. Heck, if the store owner hadnt chimed in tom wouldnt even have been able to prove the lizard WAS EVER IN THEIR STORE. (it was but i was just proving my point about needing more evidense to prove anything about toms story)
 
Was posting as those last photos were taken. NOW WE HAVE PROOF THAT THE STORE IS CLEAN. Still waiting on your pics to prove otherwise tom
 
Here's the Chuckwalla that you said was so emaciated. You suggested I offer to buy any native wildlife from them while I was there, Tom, so I did. I'd share the screenshot, but you unfriended me after I disagreed with you. Anyways...They informed me it's illegal to do so.

The second cage is what he is going into once they have it cleaned up. While they didn't let me buy it, I did get to hold it. He seemed like a really happy chuck.

OK! I'm trying to enjoy my dinner. I'll post more later when I have my laptop, and the person that accompanied me, Matt Thomas, (first time going) will share his experience as well.

I'm a real bad guy! I guess Sharon and his cronies did a lot of homework on me AFTER HE THREATENED MY LIFE! I'm not coming to beat you down or anything like that. I felt bad for your pets, and I feel very confident that you have fixed the situation. That's it, it took you three weeks to man up. Fwiw.

In the future though Shannon, please be careful who you flip out on... And threaten lives. You may just cross an equal! They ARE out there. I came across one one time, and I never felt so scared in my life! :)
