    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....

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Dan, you are not doing yourself any favors:) You are acting like Chuck, the guy you hate so much.....


Dave

Comparing Chuck to Dan??

There's not much alike about those two....sure, Chuck may be rather outspoken (and even kinda warped) at times, but Chuck has good intentions, and is a good guy. He doesn't want to see more people get ripped off.

Dan, on the other hand, is a self-serving, lying, narcissistic attention whore, and cares about no one but Dan. When he states things like:

Dan Scolaro said:
And 99.99999999 percent of people will buy whatever reptile they need despite the worst reputation on any very bad dealers reputation.
....it's perfectly obvious that he doesn't give a flying :censored: what his reputation is like, and he doesn't care how many people he rips off, because he figures there's always more people out there that will buy from him. This is what he's counting on. Everything else aside, that alone should be enough reason to stay away from him. He will continue to post his blather and smoke and mirrors, no matter how many times truths are posted. Dan just ain't right. :notallthe

Anyhoo....my point is that Dan amuses himself with these threads, and it's really pointless to continue feeding him. Anyone with half of a functioning brain cell can read what's already here and make a well-informed decision about him. Let the threads die, until the next person who has a bad deal with him wants to come along and bring them up.
 
Cathy, when did I ever lie? I care a ton about my customers and never shipped any unhealthy reptile and have a spotless record of thousands of shipments and never a single legitimate complaint.

If you are dense and lack the common sense to detect that I am mocking the idiots who are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill and having fun doing so, then why did you check the common sense box on your application to be smart enough to comment on the first place.

I mean if you cannot tell I am responding in a method to intentionally yank your chain and the other boobs who attack without knowing the background information, then spash some water on your face.

Think outside the BOI box for once.

Thank you for those kind words Cat.

Warp factor 9......I'm outta here....:bolt01:
 
I have tried not to get involved....

Dan,
Your last post - not true. I recieved two animals from you that had blisters and you sent me a replacement animal for another one you said wasn't doing well. The replacement animal had a respitory infection. Nothing of course I couldn't deal with, but the point is you did ship aniamls that weren't completely healthy and simply said "sorry". And I didn't follow up with you.
I am not condoning any of the ranting and raving of anyone else on this website, but it might be a good idea to be careful of exactly what you do say. Maybe be honest about the fact that you are a large reptile dealer and sometimes it might be hard to guarantee all the animals sold. Having said this doesnt mean you can't make good on these sales people are complaining about. Being in the reptile business for a long time, I understand this sort of outcome is unfortunately something that happens from time to time.
Two of the three animals bought from you are now doing fine - third one died.
Just my two cents for what it's worth and maybe this has already been addressed - I have just started reading some of this thread. If so...

Ooops! :shootfoot One out of three, that's 33.33% sick animals, hardly the 99.99% flawless transactions claimed... :rolleyes:
 
Mark, I recall now. It was 2 mud snakes. They were healthy when they departed here per our discussions. They were fresh wild caughts that appeared outwardly healthy without any blisters as seen in the photo nor any resp. I believe you reported developing blisters afnd I extended the guarantee of only live arrival that if anything happend to either or both, I would replace them at my cost. Days/weeks later you reported one died and I sent you another one free at my cost. However the case, do not imply they departed here with any known blisters as I would have not wasted your or my time to ship any wild caught mud snake with a blister starting as it means a short life for them in captivity of it does not shed off well.

How can you in good conscience sell this many wild caught reptiles? Populations everywhere are declining rapidly. When they are all gone, what then? Do you believe that your actions lead to declining stocks and gene pools? What about your children, and their children? What are you leaving for them? Fast bucks, wow look what I've got, too bad there aren't anymore of them in the wild. How about it Dan?
 
Mark: And personally, you know from your extensive reptile care experience that these snakes are prone to such issues. And also know we spoke and I did not detect any blister before shipping. My response was not just an apology -I made several calls and coordinated some shipments to get another specimen ready for you. As such, I don't know why you are complaining many months later especially when you should be quite aware that I throw that satisfaction rate just to yank a few folkes chain. It should be obvious to all that in thousands of sales, not all are going to go smooth especially when selling rare and exotic wild caught animals.

Thats one to many you stupid piece of Crap! I sware I'm getting tired of seeing you post here. Have a heartattack and die soon Please! :iagree:
 
David: I sell a lot of venomus wild caught stuff and some other wild caught stuff but nothing protected or endangered or perhaps collected from a protected wildlife area. Personally it bothered me to see many snakes going to uninformed buyers so I spend much time speaking with buyers/keepers to ensure the reptiles are cared for properly. There is no fast buck in this hobby even with wild caught snakes. I went herping last week and saw 4 corns, 4 yellows, 2 glades rats, 3 pygmy rattlers, 5 cottons, and 2 dozen or so nice snakes I could have easily picked up for resale but left them where they were. I herp about once every 2 weeks for the last 4-6 years and have found thousands of snakes but don't recall if I ever caught and sold a single one of them or not.

Enjoy ;) There's not much time left, if you get my drift... :yesnod:

Has your drift got anything to do with the repeated, explicit warnings that Dan recieved about the tone and content of his posts the last time his unsatisfied buyers created threads?
 
Boididiot: Your drift is that you are powerless and nothing you say or do will prevent anyone from achieving their goals in this business and that mere fact upsets you. Who do you think you are? You are some loud mouth jerk with half a dozen boas. Much time left you say? I have been active in the reptile hobby since the early 1970's and will be doing it successfully up until the day I croak, so if you think anything you or any moron can push or deter anyone from the hobby/business, then you are either daft or a bigger idiot than people think of you.

And remember, I have thousands of sales and not a legitimate complaint yet.
 
Seamus: What warning? What unsatisfied customers? Never had an unsatisfied customer. Had 3-4 people who wanted something over and above the terms of purchaes and offered replacement animals and cash but they wanted more so got squat. Do you mean those folks that tried to scam me? Well they won't try it again and that's great.

Dan,

Is the patternless ETB you have been posting for the last 4 months for $500 still available? Would you let it go for $60 shipping included :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
