    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 DTS Herps

Just from reading all this mess on here, and the sudden influx of new people posting "DTS is AWESOME" which are obviously plants or fakes, I can assure everyone I won't be looking to purchase from Dan. Not worth the risk for me.
 
Richard: Why would you not buy from me? I have thousands of sales and 2-3 sales to scammers who tried to threaten and bully for more than the terms. Are you that type also? Well I am glad you will avoid my great animals.

John: You are funny. You're still an idiot and you know I would not do business with you in the first place so your blither about passing up me to ship your snakes is bogus. And again, I am looking forward to your loud mouth when we meet. Your friends said that when you see me, you will drop to the floor and crawl under a table into a ball like a ball python.


H Moore: I deal great with my customers and deal great with the scammers who tried to bully for more than the terms of sale despite I had great offeres ABOVE and BEYOND the terms of sale. And I quite reserved to deal with the few loosers here who have not read the facts of the matters and open their big mouths. They ask a stupid and insulting question, and get a stupid and insulting answer. Ask a professional question, and get a nice reply. Point being is if you or anyone is dumb enough to be so short-sighted to believe any garbage written by any of these scammers and loud mouths, then who wants your business anyway as it will save the great deals for the normal sane customers.

Let's break this down, so it's easy for you to understand:
Are you that type also? Well I am glad you will avoid my great animals. Awesome way to recruit business....

blither This is NOT a real word - stop using it

I am looking forward to your loud mouth when we meet. Your friends said that when you see me, you will drop to the floor and crawl under a table into a ball like a ball python. What is your email again? This alone makes me want to do business with you.. seems like you are an A#1 GOOD GUY :thumbsup:

And I quite reserved to deal with the few loosers here who have not read the facts of the matters and open their big mouths. They ask a stupid and insulting question, and get a stupid and insulting answer.

Umm.. See above.. Oh, and it's LOSERS, since you are one, perhaps you should learn to spell it.. And before you turn things around to attack me, as you are want to do (it means likely) I won't be responding to your antagonistic drivel. Just wanted to say my piece.

There's the answer right there. Nice job as always Dan. Way to hold yourself up to a higher standard.:rolleyes:

If you ever need a job , Reptster may need a Complaint Dept Manager. I'd bet you'd fit right.
 
My bad

Just as an ammendment - blither is a word, I just meant it made not sense as used, since it is a verb/adverb not a noun. Didn't want to leave the door open to get things off track for such a small inaccuracy.. I know those little things can provide a foothold for side-tracking..
 
Pcrooker: It's obvious I do not use spellcheck and type too fast and have way to many run on sentences. Perhaps research all of the blither John has made over the years towards my company and you will understand my statements. He is a bad person.

And on a different note, look at what hatched a few minutes ago. An ashy gecko which is a keeper of course as several are due to hatch and a breeding colony will be established.

Scumbag Rule #15) When losing the argument, deter it by showing off what just hatched out, in hopes of trying to validate how special you are.
 
Michael - is there something you are trying to tell us?
(Since I feel the need to post that, you are trying too hard - let it go)
 
Yea, he is telling us that he is from the gutter, has no class, and is an overall moron. And has a strong desire for scumbags and bet his house is decorated with them.
 
I am new to this site (so go ahead and have a go at me it it pleases you, Dan). It is not my intention to bash Dan, but I think someone needs a reality check. I have met Dan at Tom Crutchfields home, but we did not speak to each other. I have read a lot of the posts about Dan, and his child-like replies, in which everyone is stupid, scammer, thief, moron, idiot, etc. etc., and he is never wrong in anything he does. He claims that this site has not cost him any business. That simply is not true! I have and NEVER will do business with anyone who acts like he does on this site. Maybe some of the posters here can not PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt that Dan ripped them off, but I have formed my opinion based on the majority of posters and Dan's child-like response to them. I am a state law enforcement officer, and we see this attitude of Dan's in many of the criminals we put behind bars. In post #1271 of the thread "DAN SCOLARO BAD GUY" Dan states " but never any sale in thousands where I did not achieve customer satisfaction." How can he say that when there are currently 255 pages of people complaining about him and transactions they have had with him. That sounds like he missed his mark on achieving customer satisfaction by a long mark. I have spoken with numerous people who will not do business with him because of what they read here on the BOI (mad props to FaunaClassifieds). So he is wrong, this site does cost him a lot of business, but he just does not realize it. And if he was doing so well financially (as he claims) why does he owe so many people so much money (including Mr. Crutchfield)???? Close friends of mine that know him better than I do (including two other dealers that he does regular business with) claim that Dan owes them money, and collecting money from him is like pulling teeth. He tells them that his business is doing poorly and he does not have the money to pay, and that he is waiting for checks from people etc. Dan claims to be a former federal officer (or whatever), but the reality is he is retired from the Navy. So technically he is correct, but the way he puts it one may think he was an FBI agent or something. The point of all this rambling is that if he treats his customers as poorly as he treats people on this site, who would want to become a new customer of his? I am not about to take the risk of buying animals from him after seeing so many complaints (whether or not they can be proved beyond all doubt), and seeing how he responds like a little boy. He is quick to call everyone names and infer that they are little kids etc., but even my two sons (10 & 12) don't talk as childishly to each other as Dan does to people here. To me, if 10 people make a similar claim against someone, and they all get the same response (called scammers, kids, idiots, etc.) I am inclined to believe the ten over someone that rants and raves like a child. As an (ACTUAL) officer, we are constantly being trained in professionalism. That is something Dan lacks. If he were really a federal officer for any period of time, some professionalism would still be intact, and it clearly is not. Dan, you may want to invest in a spell checker and a program to correct your first grade grammar. This can help you look like you are not really six years old. Dan, the whole world can not always be wrong, and you be right. There is nothing wrong with admitting that you are still human, and make mistakes.

I'm done now, so go ahead and start calling me names too. I assure you it will not bother me or bring me to your level. Nor will it ever change the fact that your struggling business will never receive a penny from me and the many people I know in this hobby.

William Blymer


Anyone else notice that Dan went out of his way to NOT address the statements in bold?
 
Yea, he is telling us that he is from the gutter, has no class, and is an overall moron. And has a strong desire for scumbags and bet his house is decorated with them.
As they say Dan, it takes one to know one. You sold Andrew animals that did not survive longer than a week. You guarantee healthy animals, but that is only until they die. How many customers do you have that had animals die shortly after arrival? It seems to be a repeating theme of yours.
 
Read this Michael! and STOP following/posting on every post on him while he's (Dan) has been banned. It's not fair and you ought to know it.

Michael,
Give it a rest!
Dan is banned and can't reply. That's a chicken$hit way for you to respond to him.
Your a coward Shelton by continuing to post on EVERY thread about Dan KNOWING he's been banned.
Your a tewl dude.

I did not know that long post was made until someone told me as I typically do not read previous posts. But MambaKeeper or William or whoever you are pretending to be:

You're not a state law enforcement officer. A law enforcement officer would not be dumb enough to use list his position in government to make false accusations and risk loosing his job or receive administrative punishment. I do not believe this post is from anyone named "William Blymer".

Does this web page have the ability to run an IP check to see who blithered that nonsense?

Regardless, that blither is trash talk. I've never met or know of anyone named William Blymer and have checked around, and I do not owe anyone a single penny. And business is fine and I get sales from these posts so keep them coming. Why not use your mouth smartly and show in any bogus complaint where I did not meet or exceed the terms of the sale? Of course you can't. A few scammers tried to threaten and bully for more than the terms of sale, and their nasty tactics proved to be their downfall. And the morons who attacked for dozens of pages all awhile ignoring the fact that the terms of sale were met proved to have wasted their time as they tucked tail. The only thing that was proven was that I went above and beyond the terms of service to offer scammers something before their bogus claim escalated to the BOI. I see also that you did not read any of the threads but boast how proud you are my defeating many idiots who threw many false accusations based on guess work and reports never linked to any reptile I sold or bought.

If you are indeed who you say you are, then unless you can provide any shred of any evidence surrounding your idiotic and false accusations, then you are simply just another boob who received a typical whipping for spewing nonsense and never providing any evidence. And any threat to not buy is a joke at best. Check with my references at the Atlanta and St. Louis Zoo and many other fine educational institutions and the thousands of fine sales I've had. And I never said I was a federal agent bonehead. I wrote that I worked for the federal government.

John, I am here to stay and plan to see in person how loud your mouth is.

Junk: You will always be from the gutter with your nasty name calling without ever providing proof and you cannot prove a single false charge. I have never had any legitimate claim about a dead or sick animal and you cannot prove it.
 
Greetings, everyone. I got a call from Dan last night, in which he told me that someone has informed him that the post from 'MambaKeeper' was made by me or someone affiliated with ERJ. He was told that because he and I have had conversations that included similar issues, and that the "style of writing is similar to Ray Hunter's" (mine). I just wanted to set the record straight here (since the person that told him that would not allow himself to be revealed, thereby giving me the fair opportunity to confront him one-on-one). 'MambaKeeper' and I are NOT one in the same. A check of ISP will verify that. I do not have any unresolved issues with Dan, and he does not owe me or ERJ any money. In fact, Dan will attest that it is I that keeps telling him to stop engaging in pissing contests with people on the BOI. Admittedly, I share some of the views that ‘MambaKeeper’ addressed (ie – maintaining professionalism, use of proper grammar, and so on) but many people have expressed those same issues to Dan. The difference is that I talk to him on a one on one basis about it instead of posting it on public forums. We all have made mistakes in this business, but making our customer happy in the end should be our ultimate goal. It is my hope that the person that is filling Dan's head with this inaccurate theory will read this and request the good people that run this site to compare ISP addresses of "MambaKeeper" and I, instead of falsely dragging uninvolved people into this mess.

Thank you for your indulgence.

I don't know who told Dan that but a quick look at the IP at your request shows the only IP used for MambaKeeper as

72.149.63.2 : adsl-072-149-063-002.sip.bct.bellsouth.net
The only other match is

* COBRAMAN 72.149.63.2 [Find Posts by User] [View Other IP Addresses for this User]
But it is only one hit out of about a hundred you have used.
Your current one doesn't but it is still bellsouth, which doesn't stay the same. I don't think anyone can state that it was you with any certainty based on the IP alone. Thanks...
 
Dennis: Thanks, but lets be clear that I am not saying it was Ray. Someone else said it might be from someone up north and not a cop in Miami. So I see your post but do not understand fully? Are you saying you cannot trace it beyond bellsouth.net?
 
Dennis, Thank you for doing that for us. I DO in fact have Bellsouth.net as my ISP, and so does ERJ. So it tells me that 'MambaKeeper and I both use Bellsouth.net as an ISP.

Thanks again for you help
Ray

To add.. The time span between the two of you using the same is that you had the same back on August 18 when you posted an ad. "CURRENT VENOMOUS INVENTORY & PRICES" It hasn't been the same since and doesn't appear to be the same before.
