    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....

Dan Scolaro bad guy.

You are the bad kid.

And I was selling reptiles before you were born, and will be selling them the next 20 years or more regardless of how much you cry over it. Remember, thousands of sales and not a single legitimate complaint. Your complaint was bogus. You were offered a free replacement if the other passed but instead of accepting the offer above the terms, you harassed for more and got what you deserve - squat.

Next time someone with experience tells you 10 times or more to not force feed a snail eating skink some pinks, you better listen instead of responding that you know it all.

And it was your ignorance of advice that killed the skink and your father's threats to get more than what you were entitled to on the terms of the sale that got you what you deserve. Like father, like son.
 
Wow Dan! This was almost off the first page....let's let it drop into the Fauna sea.
:rofl:Dan I have been feeding snail scented pinkies whenever I feel like it to my skinks it has only helped boost the growth. :rolleyes:

Later man and take care,
 
I get more sales from these posts than you can imagine.

Didn't I read that someone said this was a quote out of the scumbag handbook.

I can promise you this.... after reading a very small section of this thread and the last DTS thread.... I wont be buying from you.... simply because of how you handle the problems when they arrise.

Best of luck on your business though... you'll just have to do it without my money.
 
Kevin:

I am quite sad that you will miss out on some of the best captive bred pink tongue skinks that ever hit the market from this experienced breeder I get them from in Europe. With your short-sighted views, I agree, do not purchase skinks from me and force feed them pinks and make them puke and die as I feel very sad that he killed that poor animal. And perhaps a tad of my motivation to not give him another after his and his father's threats and such is that the kid needs to listen and learn a lesson - something his dear old dad would not even do for him. Yea, perhaps I knew I would get a blast from the 10 bozo's here that don't like me standing up to their idiotic roars. But what was more important is the kid learned a lesson. But he obviously did not, so he can continue to claim sick/dead stuff on other dealers but not me. Yea, did you see where he claimed dead stuff on another buy? He makes 2 orders in a mere few months or so and is perfect at claiming dead and ill stuff. He did it once and pulled it off, and he tried it again, and it did not work. And that is the meat of the story.

And re-read the thread and read my generous offer of a free skink which is ABOVE and BEYOND the terms of sale which was live arrival. The kid threatened for something more that I did not even have or could obtain, and I asked him nicely 10 times to stop harassing me, and he threatened me and then got the boot. No seller/buyer should be threatened - EVER.

I kept to the terms of live arrival, so sue me.

And when you are old enough to manage your pimples, then we can deal as kiddy deals are done for as an adult would have at least considered the advice to not ram food down it especially when the kid reported it was indeed eating on its own.

And I got a dime to bet that if you indeed had money, and I had in stock what you needed, you would jump right on the deal my friend. If you were idiotic to resist, then someone else buys it and you are later banging your head against the wall at a missed opportunity.

:iagree:



I LMAO when guys as DAN here think I'm going to bang my head in the wall for not buying thier animals. I hate to break the news to them but but atleast when I see how they treat others. I plain out don't even waste my time looking at their ads to start with anymore. Even if I seen Him at show I would avoid getting anything from him. I will not support guys of his nature in any way. It just seems crazy to me to even take any risk with someone like Dan here or any of the other scumbags that exist. When you can go buy animals off so many others who don't have such a shady history to them. I understand not all transactions always happen as you want them to. But how you handle then speaks loudly about your type of person that you are in my opinion. Repeatedly giving free animals out doesn't do it for me either. It's a major RED FLAG as I see it as something is wrong.
 
Come'on Dan let's drop....We already talked this thread to death. I'm sorry for embarrassing you more and bringing it up.

I think I clarified this....

"Yea, did you see where he claimed dead stuff on another buy? He makes 2 orders in a mere few months or so and is perfect at claiming dead and ill stuff. He did it once and pulled it off, and he tried it again, and it did not work. And that is the meat of the story."

Jeff at JMG Reptile replaced a animal that he shipped to me. He sent me three or four to replace that one that died. He said that he wanted to, and that his dad even hand picked a viper for me. He paid for shipping and was really nice about it.

Dan I don't want to argue again with you about the skinks or IBD or anything, it's just ridiculous.
 
Dan.... apparently you need to Re-read my post.... I'll make it easy for you... I'll post it again

Maybe the kid was in the wrong.... I will admit I did not read the whole thread....that is why I did not comment on anything earlier than anything posted this month. And thus why I stated the above.

Read the part in bold. There are a whole lot of reputable breeders here that handle problems in a professional manner. You however seem to fly off the handle vs. just providing proof and stating your case in a professional manner.

I wont be missing out on the skinks.... mainly cause Im a snake person. I only deal with Geckos and Beardies for my lizards.

Yes you had some animals that I was interested in... mainly the Sharp-nosed pit viper and Coral Cobra.... but I will not be buying them from you. Either I will find them elsewhere... Or I wont be getting them. Maybe I will pick them up from Randal’s show when I go.

Its called Principals and Integrity..... that’s what sets us apart.

As to this....
And when you are old enough to manage your pimples

Im a Federal Officer... and my pimples went away a long time ago. Once again you show that you just want to start something by slinging mud and trying to throw up a smoke screen. Never once in my post did I attack you. I said “I wont be buying from you” and “Best of luck on your business... though you will have to do it without my money”. That is not an attack and thus did not warrant your response.

I said your phrase
I get more sales from these posts than you can imagine.
sounded like one someone had mentioned from "the scumbag handbook".

and then you decided in your infinite wisdom that this would be a proper comeback to me not buying animals from you.

And I got a dime to bet that if you indeed had money, and I had in stock what you needed, you would jump right on the deal my friend. If you were idiotic to resist, then someone else buys it and you are later banging your head against the wall at a missed opportunity.

If I was so inclined to take your bet... you would loose. However I don’t need your money. As I have stated... I am a Federal Officer and thus I have money. Once again... its called Principals and Integrity...if you are unfamiliar with the terms... you can go to www.dictionary.com and look them up. In the last 2 months I have purchased (from reputable breeders) 6 Leos, 3 Beardies, 6 corns, 3 BP, 2 western hoggies, 1 speckled king. So I have some money...thanks for your concern though.

And because I have Principals and Integrity that makes me idiotic not to buy from you because you have the stock. Hmmmm...... I think you may be looking in the mirror my friend.

I have seen quite a few of your posts here... and all you do is shoot yourself in the foot. Especially with this one. Eventually you may realize that the reptile community is rather small in the grand scheme of things..... and eventually word will get around about how you deal with problems and with customers.

It’s a pretty safe bet... that because of how you handle yourself on here...you have prob lost more business than you have gained.

Anyhow.... I will say it one more time

Best of luck on your business... you'll just have to do it without my money.
 
Bad Wolf:

So you admit you did not read the thread but opened your mouth like a mornon huh. Well you are fitting in great here and keep doing stuff like that and you get a prize or something here.

I've never lost any business and I never flew off any handle. Read the kids emails and see how he flew off the handle and how he and his father threatened me and how I was quite reserved in several emails to keep him as a good customer. Read and learn idiot and quit putting your foot in your federal mouth.

I stuck to the terms of the sale and you are rambling without knowing the facts. It is called stupidity and you are just a stupid federal officer with zero credit behind his name. Sales are great and my customer base is more than I can manage and that is what yanks your chain.

And if you think anything that anyone says here deters or influences business, then you are a bigger idiot that I already think of you.

Now go and pop them pimples and when you grow up, we can converse. I worked for the feds for 20 years my boy as a Comptroller, so don't tell me about integrity or principles.

And you are wrong. The reptile community consists of tens of thousands if not several million people and one less dope like you needs to be given the ability to ramble here like he knows something and knows squat.

Take your warped principles and your 10 dollars down to the drug store and get a bar of soap and wash them pimples now.

You comment as if you are a professional but very limited experience as you state, so come back when you have something fine to contribute. I have sold thousands of reptiles and had 2-4 nasty customers that made threats and never a single legitimate complaint. Do it or dig a hole and stick your head in it. Do you have thousands of sales and those statistics in your reptile sales or just a couple gecko purchases and a big mouth?

Name or outline a single legitimate complaint where I did not offer or make good on any issue and you get to dip your federal badge in chocolate
 
Remember, thousands of sales and not a single legitimate complaint.

Name or outline a single legitimate complaint where I did not offer or make good on any issue
Dan...did you just admit that there HAVE been legitimate complaints???
I'm proud of you, you're making progress. Everybody that has read any of your threads KNEW that there had to have been legitimate complaints, because so many of them feature replacement animals (or animals sent for free to make up for problems with others).
I'll bet it didn't even hurt that bad :D
 
No, I've never received a single legitimate complaint. I had 2-4 bogus complaints from nasty buyers who tried to threaten and bully for more than my generous offerings beyond the terms of sale, but never any sale in thousands where I did not achieve customer satisfaction.

And stop banging your head as a screw might fall back in place.
 
Dan,
If you've never had a single legitimate complaint, why do you have to send out replacement animals? (*note - I didn't say unresolved complaint, which, regardless of your feelings about, are accounted for in various threads here.)
 
and that wasn't to say I side with those customers...in fact, in the most recent thread - if you recall - I sided with you (even though I said I think you act like an ass)
 
Dan... maybe you need to pull you head out of your tookis.

I stated that I read the posts in this thread starting back as far as the beginning of Oct.... and I have read all the posts in the other DTS thread. I have never mentioned one word about who was right or wrong in reguards to this thread. So I dont know where you get off thinking I am taking sides.

My point was you have lost my business due to the way you handle the problems when they arrise. And this latest post of your just proves that.

I've never lost any business

Lie numero 1 -- you have lost my business

How would you know if you lost business.... I doubt eveyone that chooses not to do business with you will call and say.... hey.... I dont like you therefore I wont do business with you. Therefore... YOU DO NOT KNOW IF YOU LOST BUSINESS!

Never flew off any handle.

Lie numero 2

Never flew off the handle huh.... lets see. In this post alone... I am a moron, idiotic, & stupid. Your right... you dont fly off the handle. You never even touch the handle.

As for your customer base... I dont really care how many customers you have... my point all along has been.... I will not be one of them... and that yanks your chain. :yesnod:

And if you think anything that anyone says here deters or influences business, then you are a bigger idiot that I already think of you.

Your right... Im the idiot. But I do recall seeing at least 3 or 4 other idiots then... cause they said they wont buy from you as well... primarily because of how you act here.

You comment as if you are a professional but very limited experience as you state

And I have said this where? In truth... you have no idea how much experience I have. You just make it up as you go.

and never a single legitimate complaint

and then in the next paragraph you state

Name or outline a single legitimate complaint where I did not offer or make good on any issue

So which is it... either you have not had a single legitmate complaint... or you have and offered to make good on them. Make up your mind.

I have got to read your TOS some day... it must say something along the lines of "Im always right and you dont have a legitimate complaint because Im always right". How else could you not have a legitimate complaint in X number of years of doing business with live animals.

So for a recap... because I stated I would NOT do businenss with you... you come back at me with

but opened your mouth like a mornon huh
Read and learn idiot
It is called stupidity and you are just a stupid federal officer with zero credit behind his name.

That was the best post I have read in years. but dan is going to call you a liar and say you fabricated the quotes.:thumbsup:

Do not worry Lesh as you will always be held accountable for the 200 dollars for the dead coral snake you sent me. You can hide under any rock and will be found eventually.
 
Someone should tell "Stallone" that Rocky is a fictitious character. In real life boxers
are not supposed to continue fighting with eyes clammed shut and their face turned into
an amorphous pulp. The fight is stopped before it gets
to the point where brain damage becomes irreversible. It is responsibility of the referee
to protect the boxer's health when he enters this self-destructing mode and loses contact
with reality, not knowing what he is doing or where he is at. How many fingers do I have
up? ;)
 
Would everyone PLEASE just stop? Stop trying to get the last word in. Stop trying to 'win' - because it's never going to happen. This thread is 256 freaking pages long. Every insult that can be made has already been done. I think any potential buyers get the point. There's really nothing more that needs to be said. Dan WILL have the last word, because he's just like that. Please just let him go ahead and have it.

I kinda wish Fauna gave the option of only subscribing to *constructive* comments.
