    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....

Info Arizona Exotics --- Payson, Az.

I hope this thread serves as a lesson to everyone. 'DONT JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON UNTIL ACTUAL PROOF GETS POSTED'. All that was proven here is that a collard lizard was dead/dieing and that Arizona Exotics is a great clean store full of impressive and healthy animals. (Anyone who disagrees should go back a few pages to see the pics proving it)
 
It's just comical that some of you think that ex post facto pictures really prove anything, in regards to how the whole store looked when Tom was physically there. That being said, due to whatever the hell it was that made Tom think he could get his kill-shot by presenting a single picture, there are only a small handful of people who know the truth. Quite frankly, and at the risk of sending Tom off the deep end, I think there's precious little credibility among anyone involved - either directly or peripherally. As is generally the case with conflicting stories, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Personally, despite the belief that he's a bit nutty, I'm leaning more toward Tom's side, while still being closer to the middle than anywhere else. At this point, aside from digging deeper holes, none of you are accomplishing a whole lot. The dazzling display of :icon_bs: is getting old. That goes for both sides. Carry on.
 
Sang, that sickly collard was with all the other animals,it should have been quarantined in a seperate room in the back away from everything else.

That speaks directly to the quarantine practices in that store.

That alone should keep buyers away from the store.

I think the photos prove alot. If tom was telling the truth in any way shape or form it would not be possible to change the store into the picture of perfection in the pictures in roughly a week. Unless they demolished the disgusting store tom described along with the sickly animals in it and rebuilt a new store and filled it with new animals.

I believe that was explained already. (mites and a full quarantine room.) But i suppose they should have just turned away the poor lizard? Is that what your saying?
 
Personally I would have NEVER even put a water bowl in with that lizard at all simply because there would be a high chance of it crawling into it and drowning because it would have been too weak to get out of it. I wouldv euthanized it immediately. And if by some chance i thought i could save it I wouldv done exactly what the store did by trying to get some liquid and food into it. But I still would not have risked a water bowl. Maybe a small bottle lid filled with water, but never a bowl.
 
Meltdown. Deep end. Lol. Where? My life has been threatened 2x now. I don't even care, in reality. It's over a dead Lizard, what is this World coming to? Oh, and the the Cops... They haven't even done a thing! I won't be re-calling them by the by.

All I did was make it worse by posting here! I don't suggest anybody do what I did, or ever confront a store owner, you never know who's socio, or full blown psychopathic these days.

Your girlfriend is messaging me now Sab on DramaBoom. Please contain her! I have to go now, this thread has cost ME money. :)

Love you guys! And gals! Never once was I upset! I'm a really fun and funny character! Toodles!

One more time... How can you deny this picture? You are heartless to deny this kids condition here... I'd have been hovering over this kid, and I bet CASH... I'd have fixed him/her! Bye now! :)
 
Tom i will ask you just 1 time, JUST ONCE, to prove that you have every been threatened. That you EVER called the police on the store. And that the store was EVER in the condition you described. If you choose not to prove any of it then (i hope) it will convince everybody that you are just lieing here in order to stir up some drama.

Why can't I walk away from this cost ineffective drama! Sam it's on your wall now... Report back for us! I did what you wanted! :)
 
Unfortunately the burden to get proof of your allegations is on you and not me. Though if you would like someone to call a police department and ask for a certain officer it would help if you actually sent them the phone number of the department. I dont think me dialing 911 in utah would get me (or anyone) to the payson PD. Im not going to be calling anyone though because thats your job. You posted this bad guy thread and your the one claiming to be threatened. Therefor you can prove it or be known as a liar. I doubt anyone is willing to waste their time trying to prove anything you say at this point.
 
As it is i would highly recommend that the store owner press charges against tom for filing a false report (if any report was filed) just to teach tom that liars get punished.
