    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....

Dan Scolaro bad guy.

Chuck, what is it with this views thing that you keep mentioning?

The more the better I say.

I have a spotless and wondeful record of great sales and service with my customers and my guarantee is one of the best in the business. Thousands of reptiles sold, thousands of very satisfied customers.

I will even extend my guarantee to you Chuck.

I will guarantee you that within this year alone, someone besides me will tell you that they love you, and you be jolted to be a happy person.

Dan offered a replacement for the original skink. I do not know if he offered money back, but that would be standard. As with all of Dan's ads that I have seen, there is a money back guarantee, a "I'll take care of it" guarantee that to my knowlege and experience has been honored. I should have just shipped the snakes back and said thanks very much and junk.

The one thing that bothers me greatly is Dan's absolute denial of the possibility of the presence of IBD. If someone that I had sold a snake to showed me the necropsy report posted earlier in this thread on a snake I sold them, I would *crap* bricks.

Dan is only crapping bricks over how to volley the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

For my sake I hope that the report comes back negative. However if it comes back positive (AND WE DON'T KNOW YET) we all have some major issues.

I have no recourse, my situation here does not allow me a quarantine area, I have one area. I put all of my eggs in one basket as I only have one basket. I understand that and accept it.

However if it comes back positive, then maybe someone will have to rethink how they do things. How they handle and contain WC's.

Dear, Lord, let them get more educated on what they are doing (to be fair that includes me, too).
 
Chuck:

Did I ever tell you about that 16 year old kid who was excited to buy a pseustes rat snake from me.

I sold it not knowing it was gravid. I picked it up for bagging and realized it was chock full of eggs. Despite I could make 2000 on the babies, I called the kid and to make him happy, told him it was gravid and would stick to my word to send it to him. He was so happy to be the first in the country to bring these beauties into the breeding market.

Do not be a bitter person Chuck. Be nice and nice things will happen your way.

The more the better, I say, too.

Perhaps people will see the complete disregard you've shown to the possiblility of a horrible and incurable disease that you've shown. All that you have displayed here is the concern you have for your reputation, not the health of the animals in your care.

If you were a hooker with AIDS, I'd bet you'd still be out on the corner trying to "earn" your quarters rather than getting to a clinic to get tested.

And, yes, I think you need a canary. Take the sickest animal you have that you've had the longest (I know you have at least one) and get it put down and necropsied. Mine is going to cost me $140 tomorrow. That would be the responsible thing to do.

(BTW, the pin worms that mine came with were easy and quick to take care of, I didn't say anything about them because I anticipate WCs to come with mites and worms and I wasn't disappointed)

And who is this Mike you said I cried to? I had a good talk with Mike and made him aware that Chuck has been hounding me for years.
Click to expand...

Heh. So you cried to Mike about me?

I present a challenge. If anyone can find the posts where I have hounded Dan Scolaro "for years" I will PayPal them $25.00.

It shouldn't be hard to do if its as Dan says. You should be able to find numerous posts with relative ease if I have hounded Dan "for years". Its a pretty easy way to make a quick $25.00.

But I'm afraid you wont be able to find them. No they haven't vanished, no they weren't deleted. Its just that they don't exist. Maybe in his mind? Maybe somehow I haunt him? Maybe he is just getting up there in the years and isn't taking this retirement thing seriously? I just don't know the answer.

Daniel, I know that you are upset that I posted this IBD information......and I'm glad. That it was you I got to do this to.....it was a gift!

A GIFT!!!

For every lost sale you suffer I want you to remember that I did this to you.

Remember that I did this to you. :)

Nighty night Danny! :wavey:
 
Herpinator:

I told you to quarantine that skinny emerald I gave you anyway as it was an import, so what is it you are moaping about now?

Do us all a favor and dry them leaves and lets have a party.

Dan
 
*moping

And I already told you (or are you DANying it) that I haven't grown grass for years. Over a decade, to be more precise.
 
Chuck:

If it has not dawned on you yet that I could care less about what you say or post, then smell some coffee.

All you have done is proven how kind I am to extend a guarantee.

Suffer snake sales losses? Are you joking? Nothing you could do or say will make any sale of anything matter. And if I don't sell something, I lower the price each week until it sells and get another a week later and do the same thing as this is just a fun hobby that makes a bit of spare coin to keep my collection well fed.

Don't worry, be happy.

Dan
 
Herpinator:

You have some gall. I give you a snake out of kindness and you make it puke and ignore my advice and it dies and you come here blabbing about some concern for issues. Man, go back to the pipe.

Dan
 
Herpinator:

And then I basically give you that high white prized fat beauty at a dirt low price with another emerald and its thriving for you and you still got the gall to come here and moap about something?

Guess who is going to get the next bad buyer thread going on them?

Dan
 
ROFL. Oh yeah, a bad buyer thread coming from you will TOTALLY carry some weight. I've saved all of my emails, I'm sure you have, too. I have put my ass out on the line becuase not only did I post in your good guy forum, I gave you trader points.

I have to be humble here because I gave you points that said you were a concerned guy. You've proven here that you aren't.

Again, I say, my concern here is that you have one buyer of a snake that died and was necropsied wth IBD and you do not care.

YOU DO NOT CARE.

All you have done is try to sluff off whatever responsibility you have onto the bit bucket.

If you had given one crap about someone with a snake that YOU SOLD THEM and their necropsy showing IBD, I would have more respect for you because we all screw up. It is how we handle our screw ups that makes us men (or women, perhaps I should have said "people") or turds.

So, in order for me to keep my WC emerald alive, I should have kept it in a tiny cage and fed it minimally to keep it from regurging. Right? I should have given it the absolute minimum that would keep it alive, right?

Does that not sound right to you? I bet it doesn't. It sounds completely horrible to me. I mentioned to someone else that perhaps I should have kept it in a PVC pipe to keep it from moving at all, that way, wandering wouldn't be an option and it TOTALLY wouldn't have barfed.

So your idea of a healthy saleable emerald is one that is kept in a 10 gallon aquarium and fed nothing but a small mouse (dammit, now I have to do research) *weekly.

*While I was looking for your feeding recommendation, I found this:

"Also, I appreciate the post on the BOI but lets leave it at that because if you post that your snake was reported sick by any vet and it cost you then I will get slammed by the loud mouth fools who have no understanding of snakes nor the reptile business and I don't need the time taking to write any explanation of why and what so to speak. That forum is actually loaded with crooks and criminals who know nothing better than to try and trash the competition so it essentially serves no purpose if you ask me. I am just glad she found a conscious owner and hope she gains weight but I warn that the biggest mistake new emerald owners make is over feeding their snakes"

This was after her second visit to the vet after she barfed the one and only time she ate for me.
 
Chuck:

I just noticed you wrote some odd stuff below?

What are you meaning by "I did this to you" stuff mean? And you said it twice like some nut who just got done with some psycho movie.

I mean I mentioned to Mike that you might be out to get me because I never kissed you good bye last week, and you make an offer of 25 dollars to prove that you do like me and then write that odd "I did this to you" stuff.

Do you really like me or have you been teasing? I take a bath each day and wash my hands for you before I type to you, and this is how you treat me?

I am starting to gain the suspecion that you have you been watching that "American Psycho" move too much again. I told you that was not good for a guy in your condition.

And its a shame you feel this way about me because I was just finding out more about you to love. I mean even your name "Chuck" gives me shivers and makes me blush. After we get married and have some kids, we could name them upchuck and IBD.

Well I just cannot sit here and allow this love loss to keep me in frustration.

I know this may be hard on you, but I have decided to stop knitting that stocking for you. And if you continue on this path of destruction, there will be less flowers for you next year on valentines day.

Dan

I'm not sure if its against the rules or not around here, but threatening and intimidating a person with starting a bad guy thread on them should not be something that is tolerated.

Nah, it's totally fair.

Check your PMs.
 
My animal could totally come back with negative results.

I'm the first to admit that sometimes, I am a jackass.

I'll also be the first to admit that I try to do what I think is right despite *what I think* is poor advice. I don't really think that a responsible herper would do anything that I did not, outiside of stay quiet.
