In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site.

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.

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....

Well Dave...In yours and other postsDave Lawson said:
your a lier
your a thief
possible sex offender
and a drunk
My question to you ....Got enough rope yet??
My advise to you .....SHUT UP
My advise to everyone else ...if you buy from Dave [foolish if you do] then you should post a pic of said animals to find the rightful owners

well you cant blame Neil,
this time Dave. I personally think the proper thing to do would be to notify all the promoters in Fla. let them know that Dave was not only arrested for Burglary, and possibly other crimes related to the theft, but specifically related to Reptiles. I would provide a copy of the arrest report with his admission. I would ban him from shows, and sites such as Fauna and Kingsnake . Furthermore, I dont think his problems are over yet. Aside from the judgement that Neil obtained, people who had their livestock stolen can also persue this loser with civil litigation as well.
Although these are minor remedies to an endemic problem with Dave, and although we may never find out how many other establishments Dave may have looted, its a beginning. Their is no room for this kind of intolorable behavior. People lost their livestock, their breeding population, and as in the case of Neil, was being mentally molested by this felon, who has relentlessly attempted to cause alot of pain and suffering to Neil.
Last evenings threads were coming in faster than I was able to read them, and I must admit, I was absolutely fascinated by what occurred and the information that was provided. Thank God for the BOI. You could not get this elsewhere. Dave will not walk away unscarred from this, and if nothing else by word of mouth, I think he is finished in the Herp business. But stranger things have happened, and we have strange bedfellows in this community. But for sure, Ill do my part in staying away from this pirriah. JERRY TRESSER

Dave,
You seem willing to come on here and make accusations or point fingers...Why not elaborate??? Why not explain????What did you get arrested for? Why were you released??? Seems pretty damning to me. I know I would be up explaining in detail everything...posting links, copies, ummmm.....explaining. All you seem to do is start to make a statement then fall short...Why Dave?? Were you released on O.R. or posted bond within two hours? If I were you I'd be falling all over myself to explain... Oh, yeah I'm not you.... It might help your case, MIGHT? Thanks Ray G. HBR *P.S. Don't run away on this we're still listening...

Apparently,
someone, probably a family member posted bail for Dave. I am not to sure how this works in Fla. but these charges have a way of being upgraded depending on the persuit of the defendants, how much influence they can provide to the DA, etc. although I did not see burglary listed, their may have been, although I have no proof, some kind of a deal cut, or a limited immunity for admitting to an easier solving crime than burglary. Alot depends on " where are the reptiles that were stolen ". JERRY

It is not available on line.
1. Why don't you go ahead and tell us what the case is about.
2. why don't you also tell us why you were banned from a show.
3. And tell us if it is true that you wrote numerous bad checks to vendors at that show
Seems Dave allegedly likes to pass checks belonging to others. Anyone in Hillsborough County that would like to run down to the Sheriff's Office and pick up a copy of the report and post it here? Police reports are public record and anyone can request one. Then we can see the facts of the other case.

Dave,
Ok the other case number 03-080211 is your case for uttering Forged instruments etc. That is fine. But in this case the SO states that you "ADMITTED" to this break-in.

This offense refers to the case that it is posted on the supplemental form. This was the Burglary of a Business/Grand Theft. This is Susin's business that you admitted to the break-in. In my eyes your done. No use in trying to lie and change the story, or pass the blame on someone else or make it look as if the paperwork from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. It is now a matter of public record with the Sherrif's department so no use in trying to hide the truth.

hey ROB, your absolutely
correct, and if you see "case clearing agreement", he probably was willing to accept a deal of some sort, rather than having the DAs office persuing a more potentially serious offence.
Burglaries are very difficult to proove unless their caught red handed or the materials can be traced back to the seller, in this case Dave. That is why I asked about "where are the reptiles that were stolen"
Iam sure this is not over yet. But for Dave, I can easily understand why he is not responding to these threads. On advise from councel. JERRY

I guess the saying.... "All good things come to those who wait", is perfect for me today.... I gotta tell you folks, last night was one of the best nights of my last three years!
He was arrested for stalking his ex-girlfriend and was bailed out by his mommy for $2000 (because nobody else would even think about doing it for him).... he is suspected of burglarizing.... The Snake Pit (three times), It's Alive (Brandon), Southeast Reptiles (Tampa), Firebombing Josie's Exotic Reptiles (Tampa), Susin's home, Peg's Pets, Herp Hobby Shop (Oldsmar), Scales (Brandon), Ray and Jenny Marteliz (Tampa), a bunch of vendors at various tradeshows, bouncing checks to Tony for his shows, leaving threatening messages on Susin's ANSWERING MACHINE and stalking his ex-girlfriend.... If I forgot any, just let me know....
Can you folks NOW see why I have been so bitter the last three years??.... Being accused of everything in the book by this PROVEN THIEF AND LIAR, when I KNEW I was innocent??.... And that PI Report??.... With Lawson and Angie being the main witnesses??.... how ironic is that??
I think if Alan had not posted that email I sent him, none of this would have come to fruition so fast (thanks, Alan, you did the Herp community a GREAT favor).... I also have to give GREAT thanks to Rich for un-banning me so I could help get to the bottom of this!
Wes, I know you're probably kicking yourself in the butt right now, but I STILL hold no bitterness towards you.... you just bet on the wrong horse!.... I DON'T lie and I have NEVER stolen anything from anyone!.... I did Rozann very wrong with the two animals I sent her, but they have been made up for to HER satisfaction.... and apologized for PROFUSELY!!
To everybody else that I have wronged with my WORDS.... I apologize to you folks, too.... now, I know some of that will fall on deaf ears, but, I'm apologizing anyway with the hopes you can understand my reasons in the light of what's just happened, and what I've had to put up with these last three years....
I am going to go to the HCSO today and get a copy of case #03-080211 and post it for everyone to see (I think that's the stalking charge, but I could be wrong)
I guess all I can say now is....
Bad boys, bad boys, watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do when they come for you, bad boys, bad boys, watcha gonna do when they COME FOR YOU!!
ROFLMAO!!

The truth about Dave Lawson
Dave,
Such a short memory. Gee I guess I was Doing you while my husband was in bed with me. Oh that's right. You were drunk. I guess you don't remember that my husband ran the booth on Sat with you and I came up later in the day. My husband and I got a motel room and again(cheap as you are) you asked to share it with us. Don't you remember how you had to stay outside while my Husband and I were BUSY? You were complaining on how loud I was. And who was in the bathroom with me the next morning. NOT YOU. Not that anyone else wants to hear how pathetic you are that you have to think you are having sex through other peoples lives.
Now about the case #'s
Why is Nikki's case # on my break-in sheet. Because when you were arrested for forging her name on a change of address at the post office (that is part of the stalking case) you were asked if you had information on any other crimes. And since the Detective signed a case clearence paper with you(remember when you called me crying the day before the Daytona Expo) you could not be charged with the thefts in Hillsborough Co.
All this time I gave you a chance to get my snakes back, I even told you the day after the break-in that I would have given you the boas if you just brought my babies back. I told you again and again that I wouldn't do anything I just wanted my snakes back.
I told you that if someone put them in bags and left them in the yard or at a specified place or shipped them to me with no return address that I wouldn't do anything. You know how to wipe prints. You cleaned my snake house so well that not even my prints were in it.
Even now. DAVE. Even now I will still give you a chance to get my babies back. I asked you to help me get my snakes back, knowing that you knew where they went.
I am not going to rattle on.
If anyone wants the whole story on how my family helped Dave Lawson with money,Down payment on the Snake Pit, stock for the shop, rodents to sell, reptiles to sell, display cases. or how about how I paid for your tables at the march Tampa show so you wouldn't get kicked out. And I stood up for you to everyone when you were accused of taking that Tegu from Tom Morino.
I wish I had listened to everyone about you. But I always believe that there is good in everyone and if I can help them to straighten out there life I try. You wanted a chance to get a good reputation for yourself. You convinced us that you changed. We brought you into our family.

Susin.... It's because he's pathological!!.... He's got some kind of mental illness and a GREAT "gift of gab".... If I EVER see the $5000+ he owes me (which I WILL sooner or later.... BET ON IT!), you WILL get your $1000 back that YOU paid me for the down-payment on The Snake Pit's location....
I just called the HCSO and found out that the case #03-080211 was for "forging a $2000 document" (writing a bad check), it's in the public record.... if anyone wants to hear it, call 247-8210 and hit option #2....
I would also love to get my Adult Albino Boas back.... ya know Dave, the one that was GRAVID!!.... and my adult pair of Emerald Tree Monitors you STOLE, too.... You're a real piece of work.... What I would really like to know is WHY did you have to KILL a bunch of my animals and just leave them on the floor to rot??....
I, too, gave you every opportunity to get your life back together, but, obviously, I was played like a fiddle.... like you play everyone else!
Isn't this funny.... I just got a call from someone who is coming to my house tomorrow to purchase my 6 month old bearded dragon pair.... the caller ID says HCSO!!.... when I asked him where he works, he says HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE!!.... He's going to bring me the paperwork on both case numbers!!.... Talk about coincidence??.... He also knows YOU, Dave.... this should be a very interesting conversation....
I guess NOW I can officially say that you're a PROVEN WEASEL and a MAGGOT!.... You thrive off others' grief.... If I have ANYTHING to say about this, you are DONE, FINISHED and COMPLETELY OUT OF THE REPTILE BUSINESS!!.... Tony Cueto WILL hear about this from me, with the hopes that he will tell every other promoter about you.... not that you'd have the money to buy a table anyway....
Do us all a favor and crawl back under that rock you came out of and leave all of us ALONE!
Kismet is a wonderful thing!

I just noticed that Julie Moore is on-line.... anything YOU want to add to this Julie??.... I KNOW you have some GREAT information to tell....
Julie Moore
Here and there. . .
Yes - I am here. I just learned of this thread last night so I've been reading through it and debating over posting what I feel like I should probably post. I must say though - it is nice to see things come full circle finally for such a deceitful creep.

It was a $2,000.00 bond Gubitz.......
I have a question that was ask of me by a Corp. at the HCSO Internal Affairs Div. Were does it say that I admitted to all these burgalies?
Where is that paperwork at? He said that they do not have it, and is wondering how Ms. Tippie or Gubitz has it. Then told me that Det. Masci is off today and that they would be getting in touch with him concerning this.
As I said before, I do not care if you believe me, but it is funny they have not shown anything that I said That I comitted any burgalies.
Didn't The Detective tell you that someone else comitted your break-in? Or are you going to omit that info as well?
Glad you all are having fun!!!!!!
