    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 William Albright, very, very bad

Congrats tigger. I think you have managed to piss off almost everybody reading this thread.
I wouldn't offer you squat any more if I were Bill. I know Bill and I am %99.99 sure you would have received your complete refund if you would have sent the snake back. Too bad for you. Deal with it now. Tom Rech.
 
I was going to leave it alone and let it go but you have dickheads who post stupidity just to be heard. Me get a bad guy mark, I could care less. Why, because some jackass sold me a sick fucking snake, so what. I have had NO problem posting good things about people when they deserve it. And if you don't want me to say bad things about you, don't sell me a sick fucking snake and then turn down all my suggestions to make it right and tell me that your way is the only way. Before any of this paypal crap William Albright offered to replace the animal but he didn't have any 08 albino tiger males. So what did I do, I gave him 2 opportunities to replace the snake with several different ones. Did he do it NO, what was his answer NO. I told him hey, send me the replacement, once it gets here and everything looks ok, I would ship the albino tiger. What was his answer NO. The little help that I did get I ran those options by Mr. Albright and what did HE say...NO. Scammers like William Albright make me sick and if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't trust his sick animal selling, photoshoping ass as far as I can throw him.
 
We can stick a fork in this one now. He's done.

My advice to you about how PayPal operates in protecting the seller was rock solid. Offers where the original vender is ready to provide a full refund BEFORE the animal is returned are quite rare in the business as well, and yet you thumbed your nose at it. You could research both issues here, PayPal policy and vendor refunds, and document the same conclusions multiple times.

Jesus, "grown-up" that you are, you are what might be called "stuck on stupid". I do not mean that as an insult, but unless you push yourself to expect more from yourself, and not react with a knee-jerk hostile reaction to every possible irritation, you will stay stuck ... and stupid. Get a grip, or knock "youse" self out !
 
NOVICE SNAKE KEEPER

The reason that snake got URI (if in fact thats true) is because its cage is on
the floor ( IE video) I can see a space heater in the room also. The
snake is sitting away from your heat lamp. It could develop URI quickly sitting on
the floor on the floor of the cage. That snake looks pretty damn healthy to me.
Your only valid complaint were the mites. Big deal. The way you handle that
snake speaks volumes. Mark Childers
 
20ftplus, I have a finished basement that's insulated. The ambiant air temp is usually 79-80 year round. The space heater is there to give me that extra 5-6 degress because I like to keep it around 86 degrees. The snake is away from the heat lamp because I moved him out for the video.
 
My point is that there is a thermal gradient in the room from top to bottom. The
retic sitting on the floor will a lower temperature than the ambient air circulating
in his cage. Anyway, your snake will be fine. Just keep his cage elevated 30inches or more above the floor of the room. Mark Childers

Also, this was an old post that I was going to post yesterday after I recieved and very rude email, don't know if it was a member from this site or whatever. But this was going to be posted before I told scaleswithtails that I was letting this thread go. I was trying to copy and paste the message and I guess this was pasted somehow. :confused:
 
Call it what you want. I cut and pasted the wrong email responce. This was sent long before I emailed Mr. Albright and long before to told tailswithscales that her tough love was accepted

Thank you 20ftplus I will get a base made tomorrow.
 
Ok I saw the video Jesus put up. He was talking about discolored scales. I use to have a Burmese that had those the discolored scales. I had her since she was a baby. When she was at the vet for a exam I asked the vet what the scale discoloration was about. He told me it was just her coloring like how we have freckles. I don't know if that's true or not but I just wanted to get the advice from you guys.
 
Obsidian_Butterfly they are not freckles. Freckles are clusters of concentrated melanin. Being that this snake is albino it doesn't produce and lacks melanin.
 
in relation to albino and melanin. an albino is amelanistic which is "without black pigment". its not the same as hypomelanistic in boas meaning low production of black pigment. however, any animal regardless of being albino or whatever, can produce small freckle like pigmentations sporadically on the body.
 
Everyone who knows me knows I look at things from the other side of the fence than most...

I read 12 or 13 pages of the BOI and I just can't read anymore.

I deal with snake customers and shipping on a daily basis. So, I have dealt with all these type issues many times.

If solutions are offered and you can't do any of them and Bill can't offer anything else without getting screwed either.........then you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Just take care of the snake, as I'd bet the offer to take the snake back has expired.

And yes, you are being unreasonable and you type like you have something to prove.

I think the snake looks good hope all goes well with your Retic she is a beauty. It looks healthy.

good luck Matt Lindsey
