    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....

This is exactly what Scott is doing. Since Scott has nothing to do with the money I owe Dennis it makes every post he has about me a third party quotation. :shrug01:
For crying out loud, this my LAST TIME Dave. Scott has not ANONYMOUSLY QUOTED, (go look up the meaning of quoting somebody,) anyone. He is making statements. If we followed your rules, 99% of everything posted on the BOI would be deleted. That would include everything you posted on the HEH thread from your phone call with your LA source.
 
MR. Thomas, I am not trying to aurgue with you. I can understand the first post but Dennis the rest of the point I think is uncalled for with all due respect. You said to read the rules and I did and posted the rule I was talking about.

Now I am under the impression that the rules you are giving me points for is only 3 warning points

In the period of lees then 2 hours you have given me a bucket load of points for 3 post.

This whole thing has gotten twisted and turned around, and two people I consider friends have been dragged into this mess. Sammy and Neil - I apologize. Sammy, I wasn't going to drag you into it, even though I knew that you had known the TRUE story from the very start, and everything you posted was 100% correct.

I have never bought a cage or enclosure from Dave Lawson, and I owned ZERO reptiles when he was renting property from my father in law. Sammy was one of the very first people I met (online) that helped me figure out what to do wth the lizards that were left behind when Dave Lawson moved out. They were from an import shipment and consisted of agamas, geckos, skinks and at least one chameleon.

To further back up the story, here is the original thread I started, right at the time that I first met Sammy online:

http://www.reptilerooms.com/forumpost-145431.html#145431

Yes Dave, I say that you owe "us" the money. I am the general manager of a business that my father in law owns. When you rip off him, you are ripping off me as well...and my wife and kids. We are a FAMILY. I would think that someone who makes $200 a month IN SEASON and has everything listed in his mothers name (allegedly) would understand the concept of family - but it this case, it isn't convienient for you....

I really have nothing else to add to this thread, so you can feel free to twist and turn the story around to suit your needs. If people need any further info from me, please send me a PM. I will not allow more of my friends to be dragged int this.

Thanks for the opportunity to state my (our) case.
 
Dave,

If this is a true description of what you listed in court papers:
I would think that someone who makes $200 a month IN SEASON and has everything listed in his mothers name (allegedly) ......
...... you should disappear from all things public, to include this forum, until you can confront the responsibility of your obligations in a way more honorable than that. I can understand that you may have needed some space to regroup, and the above affords you that, but you should not be on anybody's radar until you can do so with dignity again, and you apparently ain't there yet.

Congrats to your Colts Sammy. I grew up a BALTIMORE Colt fan, so them blue horseshoes still look good to me.

Dave,

I'm sorry, but apparently you are confused about that rule. An anonymous third party quotation is something on the order of "I heard on the grapevine that Joe Shmoe broke into Ft. Knox and then changed his name to Bill Gates." What this does is allow someone to make possibly false accusations and there is no ownership of those accusations since it is attributed to an anonymous entity. Now if instead, this person had said, "I heard directly from Bill Clinton that Bill Gates is in reality Joe Shmoe, the guy who broke into Ft. Knox", then no, that is not anonymous as the statements have been attributed to an actual source which can be verified. However, truthfullness and/or is obviously optional, and subject to the belief of whoever reads such statements. And just as obviously, the poster of such a third party quote is also a source which is subject to having his or her credibility questioned.

While it would be preferred that the original source of such statements present them in person here, I don't believe it is necessary to disallow such things when the quote actually can be verified, if someone wishes to make the effort to do so. Probably this was more strictly interpreted in the past (as were a LOT of the rules), but I believe this more relaxed interpretation of the rule is actually a bit better for all involved.
 
Scott,

No apology needed. You didnt drag me into this. I came by my own accord. I could not sit back and not say something when I knew what I did about all of this. Remaining silent about an injustice is as bad as committing the injustice itself in my mind. So no, sir, no apologies needed at all.

Jim F,

Thank you sir!!!

Dave,

This thread brings to light some very interesting and disturbing incidents and facts about you and past bad deeds on your part. And even though this thread presents the ideal opportunity to me to return some well-justified insults toward you I am not going to lower myself to do so. Not only will I not get caught up in these negative soap opera threads but also two wrongs certainly don’t make a right. But I must say that it is pretty despicable for you to call me a thief and a scammer in my thread, repeatedly I might add, even though NOT A SINGLE PERSON was shown to be scammed or thieved by me, EVER, while you apparently owe others literally thousands of dollars and have warrants issued for your arrest. This bit of hypocrisy on your part is utterly beneath contempt.

Not only that but you attempt to ridicule everything that we have worked very hard to build, yet you own nothing. You attempt to demean us by saying that we live in the old mobile home we use for a rodentry building. You know nothing of us or how we live but even if we did live in a mobile home we would not be ashamed. We know a lot of good folks that live in mobile homes and it’s nothing to look down upon. And the greatest irony of all is that you don’t even so much as own an old mobile home. You live with your mother! How dare you even contemplate making fun of anyone else that works hard to get where they are, or to have what they have when you, a grown man, can’t even get on his own two feet and forge his own way.

With that said I want to also say that I know why you came out after me in the other thread the way you did. I understand what you are angry about and why, though I fail to understand the extent of the veracity of your apparent animosity toward me.

Your hostility and resentment toward me stems from the issue regarding the group of morphs that you posted pictures of on the kingsnake.com forums several months back. When I saw that you posted the EXACT same pictures of the EXACT same morphs that Beau Lewis was in the process of brokering to me I had to say something. And so I did. I informed you in a follow up post that I was currently negotiating to buy those very morphs and so how could they possibly belong to you. I didn’t say who was arranging the sale to me at that time. You called me on the phone that same day and told me some story that you were handcuffed at your home and robbed of these snakes by a guy named Dale Sargent and some crooked animal control officers and/or police. Some crazy story. I asked you why all the pictures seemed to be taken in some part of Asia. You went on to claim that some of the morphs that you supposedly owned were then secretly exported back out of the country to parts of Asia unknown and bred there so as to produce new morphs there to be reintroduced back into the country at a later date. As if there was some incredible, international, morph conspiracy theft ring. The story did not make ANY sense to me at the time and I immediately contacted Beau and asked him about it and about you. In his return email he said you were full of it and that you had been telling stories like that for some time and that everyone knew you were a liar. (I am paraphrasing here).

Now, I don’t know beau Lewis personally so all of this ridiculous nonsense was fishy enough to put enough doubts into my mind to back out of doing the deal. So to this day I have no clue if the snakes ever actually belonged to you. I have no clue if they were really still at some exporters place in Asia and Beau could have really gotten them for me. All I know is that all the pictures I saw seemed to all be taken overseas based on all the people in the pictures being Asian and wearing Asian clothing and sandals and all the cages the snakes were in being made out of old discolored packing crates. This backs the idea that they were indeed likely over there, but it does not prove ‘when’ they were there or if they were even still alive at the time I was trying to get them.

I have every email that Beau Lewis and I sent back and forth concerning this deal and I am perfectly willing to post all of them if need be. I originally contacted Beau Lewis ONLY to ask him if he could put me in contact with Anson Wong, a one-time large exporter of reptiles from overseas. Instead of offering me any means of contacting Anson Wong he responded with an offer to me for many python morphs that he said he could get and he sent me their pictures. The same pictures that Dave Lawson posted on kingsnake a few weeks later saying they were his. At that time he implied in his post that they were his presently, later changing his story to that they were once his but had been stolen.

I don’t like involving others in anything that goes on in this screwy site but a lot of what is happening has to do with that deal and those snakes and it’s time this came to light. At the same time I for one would REALLY like to know the actual truth behind those particular snakes. Who’s are they? Where are they?

As to you Dave, you need to focus a little less on trying to make other hard working people look bad and fix your own problems. Repay the people you owe. Get on your own feet. Do well in life and you will have a happy life. It is obvious to me that you are incredibly unhappy and bitter in the ways that you express yourself publicly. All of how we are and how we feel is caused by ourselves. Likewise the road to happiness and contentment is also paved by our own actions and our own deeds. Seek good things and they will come.

I really wish only the best for you and for everyone else in the world as well.

David Beauchemin
 
Well Damon, I was holding acouple of the snakes (not in Asia) my driveway is in the pictures (not in Asia) People have commented on your bad crop job on the photos. But the most damaging facts to your story is that I posted those pictures on Kingsnake and On here in "99 -2000-01" right up until they were taken Beau said he has these snakes for sale I told you that some of the snakes were in a freezer and so He could not have them. Anson is where most of these animals came from way back then. Beau Lewis is Dale Sargeants right hand man, this I know from the time Dale and I were friends. Many people have seen these animals at my home and in my possession includeing Jeff that is why your post about them was removed.

Damon, no matter how hard it has been I have never changed my name I have always been Dave Lawson for the good times and the bad. I do not have major things in my name since "92" when I went to prison, whos name it is in now does not matter. I am who I am not some alter ego like David is to you. I have addmitted that I owe Dennis money and I will pay it. But that is between he and I.

But there has been people to your place and they all have said the same thing you live in a old trailer and your "complex" is a old 20x20 wood building. How do you think I know you car (at your gate) got towed away or the walki-talkis you used for Ups and fed-ex deliveries? How about the Bank you use or the name of the feed store you get feed at. :shrug01: Some people may hate me for things that they think I have done but not 1 person has ever said that I have sold sick, scared or a animal that was not as it was advertised.

I don't like you because you stole photos of mine and claimed to own them. You dude are a con artist and you shot people in the back. Can you saythat you have no warrants for your arrest because I can. :rofl:

Post all those e-mails from Beau
 
Dave ,

There is the matter of 15 Emerald Tree Boas that you stole and try to sell to Tom C. Remember?
I never had a clue you were a carreer criminal. Your blood was left at the building you broke into. I will be relaying all this info to the person you stole from. Either way sometimes people get what the deserve. ..........................

Scott Sweeney
 
The only Reason Dave is Not in Prison again is because the last time he got caught stealing from a business he ratted out the people he was working for! and for the people that have a Judgement against him you can have his Shipments seized when they hit Florida but file a Judgement Lien first so the Sherriffs can sieze them. you can also go back to court to prove he Lied when he said he only makes $200 a month and get him busted for perjury. it is not hard to figure out how to prove it

Ok, I someone comes here that I have never heard of and says I stole 15 emeralds. Ok Ill bite, What the name of the person I stole from and when did I do this? I am sure I can call Tom and maybe he can comfirm what you are saying.


shurkahnzz, You are a :censored: If I would have ratted on someone I would not have went to Federal prison for the max term. If I ratted on these people who were they and why arn't they in Jail? And who's store did I get caught robbing, I have never been charge with any if I had it would still be on public record.
 
Well I can say this, On the order I mad with dave he has done nonting but been perfect, I have called several time over 20 and 80% of the time I can gotten him, and the other % I had call him back before he got back to me. I order the following:

1. 6 hatchling American Alligators
2. 5' Female American Alligator
3. 3' Male American Alligator

Dave has sent me the Tracking numbers for the 1st shiuppment which was a Alligator for a customer of mine, which arrived when dave told us it would, on time and ALIVE and in perfect health. I currently am awaitring for the weather here to get better to because of the cold, Which is not dave's issues and infact it is on Delta I have also call and confirmed that they will not ship if the weather is lower then 20.

PS. Dave your all good with me : ) Can't wait tell our next order, You can have my money any time....
 
OK, I find this very humorous actually... Dave, not sure if he is going to be happy with the sparkling recommendation he is receiving from CS reptiles or not, but with a trader rating and past practices like his, I don't think I would want his name anywhere associated with me or my company. It reminds me of that saying... Something about "birds of a feather"... I find that people with be judged by the company they keep. He is receiving a sparkling review by someone that has a dirty past and is the proud owner of one of the largest threads in the BOI talking about his horrible customer support. I don't know if that is good or bad for Dave.
 
CS reptiles next time try to spell your words correctly i can understand one or so but seriously who typed your reply for you..?
 
Here understand this, No matter what was said about Dave he has mad good on part of my order which is a proven fact check the tracking number and MO posted. Once the weather clears up on my end I’m sure he'll send my other gators. Biscuit yea I’ve been to jail, A few times including the two days for not having a permit for my gators, Am I mad NO the person that took there time to so all that research to turn me in is the person I’d be watching out for. As for my prison time it was like 12 years ago get over it. I cold sit here an rag on you Biscuit but I don’t know you, nor do I at this point need to. You’ve done nothing but rag on me which only shows your character, Oh yea and your lame friend included.

stuntinsandiego I prefer Charles. When referring to my reptile collection say CS Reptiles. My name is Charles. All these spelling errors and what ever you still not making a point Ok so and what now.. I make typo and most of the time really am not even remotely watching what I am typing on this forum. So what has is effect any of my breeding aspects , has it effected my income NO, and NO so can we please move of or maybe even try to stay on topic. The title of this thread is “ Dave Lawson Finally Where He Should Be “.
