    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....

I am not trying to downplay this incident with the OP at all, just saying, as someone who goes to the shop often, its not how its being portrayed here at all.... I bought my first snake from them 8 years ago and have went back to them ever since, even just to hang out as there is a little family there with the people that work there and the customers that come to hang out. I have a few pictures of my daughter a few years ago at the shop while it was still in the Swap meet.... It is now in its own retail location OUT of the swap meet.. I have lots of photos of the shop but most of them have people in them and I do not want to post their pics without permission... I also have lots of pics of reptiles that were there for sale if anyone wants to see what the condition of the snakes usually is... I agree though, a snake that is not in the best condition should not be sold until it is healthy. That is why I always ask for pictures if I am ordering a snake online to see its condition with my own eyes... I have seen a few snakes for sale online and though wow that snake is skinny etc.. But I guess for the avg person who know little about snakes, they would not know what to look for.. But once again, I am not here defending them in this case with these snakes in this thread, but more here to say that this is not typical of what they usually have....

And the reason for me posting the photos of my daughter is that you can see the shop in the background...

Apparently you don't understand what you are saying either.

As for the aru, go for a refund as that as they claim to guarantee their snakes for a year.
 
final update! i spoke with josh CO-owner,a few days ago, and he sent me the last part of our deal(replacement) so to date all has been made right, the whole deal sucked,and i dont wish it on anyone, but they have finally came through,so this will be my last post. thanks to all for your help!
 
I only read through the posts to page nine, but the pictures of the snakes, the gtp especially, speaks for themselves. Even if you can't get your money back, I'd be all over taking them to court for animal cruelty and getting them shut down. If someone called animal control and had their animals examined, I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard. This sickens me. Anyone who could keep and animal in those conditions and try to pass them off as healthy deserves punishment. You deserve every cent of your money back and all animals under his care deserve so much better. Had to throw it out there.
 
The condition they were in is absolutely appalling! :angry:
So, money was refunded and all is well.
I think not!
They are not "products". They should most definitely have charges pressed, and not just fines.. If there were much, MUCH harder consequences for allowing an animal to get like that, it wouldn't happen as often, and maybe people would realize they are every bit as valuable as a human.. Breaks my heart, it really does.. :( /endrant
