    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....

Anyone dealt with Boca Reptiles?

He won't post because he knows all of the people he has ripped of will want answers from him.

Not posting allows him to avoid having to answer for his activities.

I'll take a guess and say that the person who you spoke with regarding Sal has the initials NG.
 
Trying vs. doing...

I spoke with someone recently who knows Sal pretty well. He's been trying to get Sal to do the right thing and take it one small step at a time. I'm not going to say who this person is in public, but youre welcome to email me Wes and I'll give you the particulars. Its kind of an interesting story and it may explain why Sal will not post here anymore. When I mention the name you'll know who it is right away.

So there is actually an interesting story behind someone who is trying to do the right thing one step at a time but will not make one comment about it? What is admirable is that he seems to be doing it but he doesn’t want to share it. Anonymous deeds, those are the one that really matter, is that it? Well, in reality you said he is trying (trying again…for the nth time and counting) to do the right thing one step at a time. But doing the right thing would be better than just trying. For example, he is trying to stay away from the BOI, but he is not doing nothing about it, as he still reads this thread.

It answered my question as to why he's been MIA with respect to defending himself and I did find it interestesing when it was explained to me.

Reaility check. I didnt say Sal was trying to do anything. I said that the person I was dealing with was trying to get him to do the right thing...one small step at a time. Counseling him.

I dont have information as to Sal's dealings or even personal information about him if thats what you desire. You seemed to have a real interest as to why he has not replied to this thread. I had the answer to your question

As Wes stated, I think everybody knows why he isn't posting. Him pretending he has alterior motives, or "real" reasons for not posting is not going to change the real reasons.

Ok. I didnt know you were just razzing him. I thought you wanted to know why he wasnt posting. Carry on....

Listen chucky, if YOU want to be salito's babysitter, YOU go right ahead and be it.

I do NOT care why he is or is not doing as he has promised many times to do. I do CARE that he DOES do what he has promised many times to do. It's NOT the motivation behind the honoring his word that I am interested in, I don't like him enough to care that much but, I AM interested in whether or NOT he has done, as yet, what he has promised many times to do?

NOW do you understand?

Of course razzing is part of what I'm doing, as any fool, hint hint, can see and as you, hint hint, have so aptly proven. Just because that's all YOU saw, if that IS indeed all you saw, then how is this lack laid at my feet? I am NOT your babysitter and it is NOT my job to point out things I think you may have missed. Unless, of course, you do so as you have here by so overlooking the MAIN point.

What IS the main point you ask? As well you may. Let me tell you. MY main point is that salito is NOT to be trusted. He has promised MANY times to make it right to everyone he owes. I DO NOT believe him and so far as I know am justified. Should he prove me wrong and ACTUALLY pay everyone all he owes them, then I would cease.

Hubris, chucky, hubris; not you, not me, not anyone I know, sees EVERYTHING.
 
No. Hell no.

I thought he knew Sal and since they are both in the same state, I figured he was pushing for Sal to do the right thing.
 
Boca Morphs....

Sal just bid and won a few auctions I had up on reptileauction.com. Not that he won these auctions with the serious intent of purchasing them, but serious or not I have refused the sale and explained to Sal why. I am sure in light of the recent attention I have given Sal on another thread he feels this is the best way to extract revenge....by disrupting my auctions.

Below is a copy of my reply to his winning bid notifications.

Hello Sal,

Not that I firmly believe you've placed these winning bids with the intentions of honoring them, but I could not accept any money from you knowing full well that money belongs back in the hands of the people you've had "accounting problems" with. I guess we can safely add that you're not a bona fide educator or scientist purchasing the turtles for educational purposes or research.

I have no intention of pursuing this with you other than to inform the webmaster why I will not honor your winning bids. I am sure he will be understanding in light of your very public financial affairs. In addition, your favorite place and favorite people will also be made aware that I have refused the sale.

Good luck in getting things settled...

Its not that I dont like money but....I could not accept money from Sal when he owes so many people for so long. I couldnt and I wouldnt sell him a cricket.

His reptileauction.com username for those who do not know it is I81u812. Very original.

No Wes I have enough charges in my care. As you can clearly see by my last post I am not one of Sal's top choices for babysitter.
 
I came on this thread during an unrelated search and was curious. Is Sal still haunting the reptile industry? I have not seen or heard his name in quite a spell
