    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 know I'm asking for it w/this post but here goes anyhow:

I recieved a cb juvie male White Lipped Python from Dan today..an absolutely perfect screamer of a snake! My initial order was for another female (I incurred the wrath of this Forum for my Good Guy posting of that transaction) and Dan emailed me and said he could get me this male for the same price (females are imports). I told him I'd be happy w/either and he advised as I already had one female to take the male..so I did. Also, at the last minute I changed the delivery date to today from tomorrow as I'm leaving for Europe on biz. on Saturday and wanted the extra days to acclimate, house, etc. Dan managed to get him out as requested.

This little gem also ate a thawed hopper w/in 2 hours of his arrival. Its amazing how beautiful these are! I know there's alot of rhetoric out there about Dan but all I can attest to are my own personal transactions. To date I'm thinking I've bought 7-8 snakes from Dan over the last 18 mos. or so...not a bad deal in the bunch. I am not a "plant" so please save the insinuations. I live in Las Vegas, Nv., am merely a private hobbyist, and have no agenda covert, overt, or otherwise .

Glad to hear things went well for you Bill. I am sure there are many other happy Dan Scolaro customers out there as well.

But everyone looks like a good guy when a transaction goes smoothly, it is when there is a bump in the road that you separate the wheat from the chaff. It is when there are bumps in the road that Dan does not always do the right thing.

Anyway, congrats on your new snake. Hope he makes some nice babies for you!
 
What's this...4 separate threads about Dan by VegasBilly in the past year? The following quote should look pretty familiar...

Really, William, YOU posted those threads...they can't be that hard for you to find.
 
And no, there is not a rule against separate threads....but we are encouraged to utilize existing threads.
 
Given that he has started 4 seperate threads, couldn't they be consolidated chronologically? It promotes an unfair view of Scolaro when a bunch of Good Guy threads all started by the same (1) customer pop up.

William we are all thrilled that you received satisfactory animals from Dan. No one here has ever said that the majority of what he sells is not good quality. It has been made painfully clear what his shortcomings are. Those are the issues this community has with him.

If I were you I would continue to post every good transaction you have with him. But read the damn rules and post on your own thread
 
Mike ,

You are unbelieveable. I make an honest post about a real transaction and all you can do is make nasty insinuations? Please correct me if I'm wrong (and I apologize to the Moderator for starting a new thread and not following strict protocol) but I thought the purpose of this forum was to inform...both positively and negatively..that is all I've ever done. Is it so enjoyable to slam people you don't know while hiding in the relative security of the web? You ought to be embarrassed for yourself. My motivations are sincere...yours are obviously for effect. Rather than insinuate..tell me plainly where I am wrong? Why is it that you feel compelled to slam anyone who shares an opinion or has a result that differs from yours?

Yikes..do the math..I think "get a life" gets some run about now. Have y'all nothing better to do than police this Forum? Where do you find the time? Very creepy.

Hey Billy-

You check all of my posts (including those in HELL), and count how many people ellicit that kind of a response from me. I usually have to be having a really bad day to say something like that...or the thread/OP has to be particularly transparent or obtuse.

I know I'm asking for it w/this post but here goes anyhow:

Didn't you say this in 1 or 2 of your other threads? Weren't you asked by the mods in those threads to use existing ones? What don't you get? Check my posts in those threads (I haven't looked myself), and I'd put money on the fact that while I may have been skeptical, I wasn't hostile in the least, but this is just idiocy!
 
You know what Mike? You're absolutely right I never read the terms of service here before I started posting..and I did apologize in a comment or two prior to this. I just never in my wildest dreams thought it would affect people on such a personal level! WOW. I never dreamed my posts would be such an irritant to the extent that parts of my earlier posts would actually be cut and pasted in subsequent posts..again WOW!

That being said I'm done! So, this little cabal of shouters have run me off..well done! It is a bit scary to think that a militant few can make it so unsavory for someone like me who is guilty of what...offering a historical report of a transcation I was ACTUALLY involved in, to give up.

For the record, I was never a plant and my nose has never been brown. Really mature I must say. Adios..I'm sure there will be a few cyber-high fives for another job well done. Y'all are very scary people.
 
Notice the very first response from Harald in the last thread you started on Dan about 3 WEEKS AGO!!!!

William,
I certainly welcome positive posts about Dan, but is there a reason you didn't post this in one of his other Good Guy threads......you know, like either of the other two you started about him this year.

This thread subsequently deteriorated into the type of back and forth stupidity that has become synonymous with Mr. Scolaro. Did you not think this thread (less than a month later) would have met with the same type of result? Again, I think my first post on this thread is one of the rudest I've made, but I think you earned it. I'm usually a pretty fair guy.
 
Please keep it all on one thread.

Considering you started two threads about your transactions with Dan recently (one was moved), I see no reason to keep this thread open. Rich and I closed several bad guy threads about Dan that were all running at the same time with multiple complaints. The participants were all told to use one thread.

I see no reason that it shouldn't apply in reverse in this particular case when the same person is starting multiple threads about the same individual this quickly.

Again, please use your previous threads that were recently started.
