    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....

Dave Lawson Finally Where He Should Be

That red is hard on the eyes, and I apologize. I was trying to make sure that my replies were clearly seperated from his quotes.

"I cannot also post the sheet that you filled out for the courts stating that you operate a business called "Victoria's Reptiles" and that your monthly income is $200 IN SEASON. Let me know if you would like to see it..." should say that I CAN post it.

Sorry.

Neil, you know this sort of thing is not allowed on the BOI. You either name your source or get them to post it here. And no, we DO NOT have access to anyone elses PM's but our own so we can not verify anything.
 
Actually Scott, I would like to see it.
When one is trying to change his/her life around what one does to fix past/current ongoing problems says a lot for how they will treat people in the future.
 
Chris.... first of all, it was NOT ME who brought this thread back up.... Go look for yourself before you start accusing people of something they didn't do(seems to be a major problem for you).... and even though DThomas removed the private message that I posted (for lack of his name on it), it WAS sent to me, I DID post it, and it IS a real email....

Rosanne.... You're kidding, right??.... He's owed ME $5000 (PLUS 6% interest since June 1, 2003), that he hasn't even attempted to pay back (on his own).... He's a THIEF, a LIAR, and the biggest RIPOFF ARTIST in FLORIDA!!.... If any of you don't believe me, do business with him where HE owes YOU money.... See how fast THAT happens....

I'm done here.... enjoy....

While I agree with what you are saying, I will not post it unless Dave disputes the facts that I have laid out in the previous post.

As far as I know, the courts do not hand out judgements against a person unless there is sufficient prooof....and we will just leave it at that for the time being.

Hello Pot this is Mr. Kettle, Ms. Boiler, Madame Dutch Over, Monsuier Broiler and all the rest of the "tools" one might find in such company as the poster quoted above.

TOO bloody funny.

Where IS that detectives report that found you robbed your own father's store gubitz? And the screen shots of you later selling the animals that were SUPPOSEDLY stolen?

I'm sure they're around here somewhere and I bet someone has them and would be willing to post them should such be necessary.

The BOTH of you are liars who do TERRIBLE business whenever you think you can get away with it.
 
Neil,
I have seen your proof of the judgement, that is why I did not ask you.
Dave says he does not owe the other, and Scott says he does. I do not recall seeing a judgement on that one, that is why I asked.
I KNOW he has yet to pay you.

Neal,
Let me make this simple for you
Post = Bump
Did you post? That would be a yes. I keep forgetting burglars aren't the smartest people.
ESPECIALLY the ones who get caught robbing daddy's store.
 
Simple, I do not owe Scott Lakes a dime nor does he have papers saying I do.

But his father-in-law does have a judgement against me. Have I paid it? no!

Dennis and I had a agreement and I lived up to it and so did he, untile I when to scott to pick up a cc machine, Scott said "Me and Neil Golli are partners in morph ball pythons, he (Neil Golli) and I will pay Dennis if you get us a bunch of Ball morphs imported". I took my machine and told Scott to pound salt, 3 days later I was served papers from Dennis.

A couple of facts the Scott omitted
1- I was not at the hearingI was in Miami picking up a shipment. They had to prove nothing it was a default judgement.

2- Dennis did not file any papers for almost a year, he had my address and phone number and never attepted to contact me until after I told Scott (his son-in-law) to pound salt.

I have seen Scott at many shows prior to this suit being served and he never once said :censored: about any money until I told him off.

I took Dennis at his word and he lived up to it until Scott got his feelings hurt. :(

Now Scott that is the truth, don't you agree?

I want to thank everyone for reading this.
 
Not to get into the middle of this(whatever it is) but this is the post that brought this thread back up from oblivion...Randy

I see that Mr. Lawson is now back on the BoI, fighting for justice. :rolleyes:

How about settling up on the tab you have with our company for the rental space on Chancey Rd., Dave??? :shrug01:
 
Dave, Bob Potts here, from Herp Hobby Shop. You confessed to the states attorney's office to breaking into my shop a stealing thousands of dollars in animals. Karma gonna get ya.
 
Did I now? Well Bobby show some proof. For a man that confessed to all these burglaries that you and Neil say why am I not in Jail? or at least arrested on it? Don't say a case clearing agreement because that does not fly. They do not give those out on open cases. Otherwise people would rob banks and then go confess to the nearest Policeman and have it cleared. Little Bobby, if I confessed to it then why were you telling people that it was Nikki? Why would the state give me this? For what info? And then why would they tell you if I made some deal. It is so very easy to post crap on here with no proof or in Tippis case edited proof. In Florida if i HAD CONFESSED TO THESE MANY, MANY BURGLARIES THE STATE WOULD HAVE PULLED MY PERMITS BUT INSTEAD THEY ARE GIVING ME MORE, GO FIGURE.

Frankly lawson, I always figured you for a snitch.

That would also explain why you have permits, according to you anyway.

I want to thank everyone for reading this.

First off, Neil Golli and I are not partners in anything. Neil is his own man and does business on his own. I help him out at shows, which is where you saw me working (I assume) and we have a couple of breeding loans going on, but Neil Golli should not in any way, shape or form be dragged into this issue. I never told you that I would pay Dennis anything - like I said before - he agreed that it would be better to get something from you, rather than nothing...simple as that.

Dennis, myself, or the courts had no idea that you were in Miami...how would we had known that?? I would think that if you could not make it, you would have contacted the courts prior to the court date...but that is between you and the court system. You didn't show up and they made a judgement - simple as that - based on the rental cntract that you signed. Whose fault is that?

Dennis filed the papers when it became crystal clear that you were not going to do ANYTHING to take care of the back money you owed. You knew that you owed the money, so it was on you to make arrangements to pay it - it was not up to him or anyone else to chase after you and try to get you to pay. If you had been WILLING to pay it, or even atempted to make payments, things would have never gotten this far.

You have never told me to "pound salt", Dave. As a matter of fact, we have never had a cross word between us...so how could my feelings get hurt?

Explain to me why I would want, or need, to talk to you at shows? Were you going to pull out a wad of cash and pay your debt if I had asked you about it?? :rolleyes:

I am a nobody in the reptile world. I own a few snakes, but have never sold a snake to anyone. I am not in the reptile business - I am merely a hobbyist. I have absoulutely nothing to gain by lying to the members of this forum....can you say the same??

We have a court date this Friday in Pasco County, FL regarding Mr. Lawson and a lease agreement that he broke. (This happened a while before I ever knew the BoI exsisted, or we would have never rented to him...obviously!)

If anyone has "character" info that we could present to the Judge, it would be nice to have.

You can send me a PM here and I will contact you via phone or email - whichever you prefer.

Thanks,

Scott

In all of your post you say we have/our company has/He owes us but in fact I owe you nothing your name is not on any lawsuit and or judgement Plan and simple. You are nothing but a stockboy at you fathers-in-laws company, you work in the loading docks. You Scott are only posting second hand information and on behalf of a secocond party that is a violation of this sites TOS. You have streched the truth in some cases and flat out lied in others.

I have never heard of Neil Golli until last year when you said you and he were partners, I would not know Golli if I tripped over him. I have seen you at shows with people but I could not say it was Golli or Santa. If someone (besides me) reread your post they could number the misleading statements and mis-truths that you told. You mislead people into thinking that the judge heard all these facts and then ruled against me, when in truth he called me name and when I was not there gave you the ruling.

If you did not say that you and Neil Golli would pay Dennis then why would you ask me for Ball morphs?

I moved out on 9/1/05 I heard nothing from Dennis no calls,letters or e-mails so how (according to you was he actively) trying to collect his money? He had my home number and addressand he had been to my house. But not until Imax called the PCSO on Dennis for holding thier cc machine (which you admitted to) and I told you " To pound salt" magically Dennis goes to file papers the next day. I am sorry I hurt little Scotts feeling and daddy Dennis had to take up for you. Dennis and I had a agreement I would move out and that would be that no lawsuits nothing until a year later. I never said I did not owe Dennis I simply said I did not owe you.

Now back to you breaking the TOS. If ANYONE ELSE DOES IT THEY GAT POINTS AND THE POST GETS EDITTED SO I THINK YOU SHOULD TO.
 
I do not want my name mentioned in this thread again, first and foremost I don't have any partners. I'm breeding a few snakes for Scott this year and know that he is an upstanding, great guy, who volunteers to help out at shows. He is an enthusiast / hobbyist who from my understanding was brought into this hobby because of Lawson. He cleaned up the mess that Dave left behind and helped find homes for the animals that were left loose or escaped from Dave's shop. I half thank Dave for this as thats how I met Scott and why we are friends today.

I know nothing about the lease, the terms of it, how much is owed, why its owed, who is owed or why or how my name got brought into this BUT I do know that it should not be here so I'd greatly appreciate not being mentioned again.

Thank you.

Neil Golli
 
Golli, I was only repeating to the readers here what was told to me by Scott. If it is not true then matbe he is not so upstanding. But I first met Scott the day I moved into the shop and he had Ball Pythons then so he was into the hobby in early "05", before I moved into the shop. :shrug01:

I woulg suggest to that you have a talk with Scott and tell him to not tell people that you and him are partners and that you what me to get you morph Balls imported and you will pay off a bill. I am sure that he is only trying to ride on your shirt tail.

I have no reason not to believe everything you have said but I only repeated what I was told.
 
That is completely false Dave. I was there the first night Scott came stumbling into The Reptile Rooms Chat having never owned or cared for a herp in his life. He came in because you had left animals behind when you bailed out on your lease and he wanted to learn how to care for them instead of let them die, like you were going to do by abandoning them. I do believe Agamas was one of the species he was asking about.

Since then Scott has been a semi regular in the chat and I can verify that the time line and series of events that Scott has said here are exactly as he told them in chat over the last year plus.

Scott didnt own any Balls at all at the time. Or any other herp for that matter. His first was a Ghost he traded to John Berry for scuba equipment if memory calls. And that was well after you abandoned the animals in the property you were leasing. Scott didnt know anything about Balls prior to that or let alone own one. I personally answered question after question after question about Ball care for him and helped him get started.

Again, I can say that the series of events are exactly as Scott has said here in this thread. For he was telling us in chat about it back when it was actually happening. It is how I got to know Scott. He was a complete noob who was as lost as one can be trying to save a bunch of critters you left behind.
 
Well he said to me that he had Ball pythons the first day He and I met. I did not abandon anything. I did not skip out on the lease The owner and I can to a agreement and I moved. Several people were with me and helpped me move a game officer was there due to the fact that 90% of the animals I had were venimous and the other 10% was large monitors, large snakes and pythons. The building was very small nade up of 2 rooms both were wide open and completely empty when We left. I left no agamas or anyother animal behind, hard to do since I had no small lizards to leave. For a man that had no herp prior to me leaving he sure did buy several tanks from me for Pythons he never owned. :shrug01:

Shrap, Have you ever met Scott? On what date did he stumble into the reptile room? What was this timeline? So to you if a person tells the same story over and over it must be true? :NoNo:
