    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....

Bad Guy DTS Herps

Dan is not a rip off artist. Was there a specific complaint you had against him or did you randomly drag up a 10 year old post (sorry if I missed a specific complaint). I bought a pair of snakes from Dan a couple years ago, a hard to find species, still doing great.
 
I really dont want to beat a dead horse (Sloan), but just want to say its impossible to turn Sloan over to the authorities when he is already working with them. Anybody unaware with Sloan should know he lives in TX and offers protected species from TX for the sole purpose of letting Fish & Game bust them. Sloan is a snitch, a scammer, a insert dirty words here ______. He is all of that.
Now, that being said, in this super weird, way too long thread about Dan Scolaro. I want to tell you all, that 15 years ago, my entire life began when Dan started sending me snakes. For years and years I bought tons of cool stuff from him and never had any problems. Im not saying hes not hard headed and stuck in his ways, because he very much is. Hes an older guy so not really on point with technology, but thats not really his fault is it??? Lets compare Scolaro to Bob Applegate... There is hardly a difference between the two yet Applegate has zero bad guy threads about him.
Applegate has since sold all of his animals, but before he did so I was one of the few trying to get his mexican milk snakes. Basically Bob said "i want this much, and i cant take pics"... the whole deal ended with me having to send a friend in CA to drive to Bobs house to collect them and ship them to me BECAUSE BOB COULDNT SHIP. Look, Dan shipped so many things to me over the years, he has sent me so many pictures of so many things, yet Applegate is a God, and Dan is scum? I started buying and selling reptiles online when I was 12-13, and am now 28 and this is what I do for a living. I have Dan, in part, to thank for that, because he was the first person to deal with young me. But I am not biased, having grown up as internet stuff and computer stuff was really booming, I fully understand old school breeders problems with technology. Not everybody understands internet lingo or knows what a screenshot does, Dan knows as much as Bob Applegate. Remember that. Dan is really not a bad guy, he buys from local wholesalers and resells, some stuff he breeds, theres hundreds of guys like him in Florida. He still has an insane amount of knowledge to contribute, and is very much the last of a dying breed.
