    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....

lesson to learn

Carlos,

I don't know what to say except I am really, really sorry for all your losses.  This isn't much now but you can be assured (at least I firmly believe) that what comes around goes around.  They will have their day and it will be three times (or more) more horrifing then what they have done.

My deepest empathy and sympathy go out to you and your family.

This really bites ! Hope ya find out who was responsible for this , BUT I doubt such will be. I couldn't imagine how / what I'd be doing to deal with my kids if such happened to one of our animals..especially the dogs.
I also have puppies available at this time too. They are not purebreds but are cuties and very lovable. They are a cross between Shar-pei and a lab/pitt [ not a planned thing, that's why the cross arghh hehe] Both parents are in the 50 lb range, so I wouldn't expect the pups to go much bigger. They also have been very exposed to children in my home..seeing as we have 7 kids here hehe. They are ready to go at this point and you can have 1 if you would like. Heck I'd even pay shipping for them to you also. I can send you pics of them and your kids can choose which one they want even. Get in touch with me in email @ [email protected]

Carlos I"m very sorry to hear what happened to your dog and your snakes...  hopefully by now you've found the sorry sack who did this... I have no tolerance for thieves or murderers of family pets.. first off I will say some prayers for you and your family to get back as much as possible of what was taken from you...
secondly I'll just add my opionion of what I"d do if I was the one to catch him..  I would likely dig a pit and fill it with some rattlers and hang him by his feet and slowly but surely lower him into it until the fear of God is instilled in him and he's begging for his life...   If he's lucky I"d cut him down and hand him over to the cops...  but like I said, I have ZERO tollerance for thieves...   I imprint one very solid moral here that those thieves will never read... if it's not yours, don't touch it, period
  I hope your family has found a way do deal with the pain of your lost friend, pet, and companion.. I regret I"m not breeding colubrids to be able to send you some to lessen your loss... or at least help make it more bearable in the fact that there's a few people willing to help...  I have boas that I have not yet bred... if the 7ft female ends up gravid this season I will offer you a free baby if you're interested, and that's the best I can do..  my male's been courting her for quite a while now, and she's opaque...
  That lesson tells me I should invest in a security cam for my home when I start having boa babies to sell!
take care

first id like to say to the ones offering carlos and his family a new  pet " you are totally awsome people" kinda makes ya feel warm n fuzzy inside to see hoe people that keep reptiles  come together in such a positive way for other members of the community , even when they dont know the person that experience a tragedy like  what carlos is going through.Now to PM herps  great job on getting something up in print addressing the stolen animals that were lost .  last but not least i had NO idea that he lost in the neighborhood of 50  snakes ( if i didnt count wrong) i wiould like to say i aswell donot have anything along the lines of what was stolen from you buy i also hope to be having a clutch  of baby boas mid june  or early July  aslong as she doesnt through me a curve  what i would like to offer in help of this situation  is i will donate the  money from 3 of the first babies i sale  to you carlos i know it will not replace what you  lost by a longshot . but it would be a start in helping you re establish your loss and add to building you collection back . OR  from the sale of the first three babies i sale i will purchase a closed circut tv montoring system that will have both video and sound recording capabilites and send to you totally free of charge this could haelp add a piece of mind to know that if anyone ever came close to your collection again  they would be on candid camera and then inturn that would be solid evidence to carry to the police if ever need be . sorry i cannot offer this to you any sooner as right now i im tight here myself  but if you are willing to take me up on this offer please contact me  by email .
i hope you and your family are doing well at this time of crisis .
sincerely Alan Hall
 
Carlos...Seeing as you probably DON'T want my Ex-wife as a watchdog (she'll turn on you&#33<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> lol....
Since ALL these nice folks were kind enough to REALLY put out their hard-earned money for ME, in MY time of need...I feel I should return the favor!
Carlos...post your address (or email me personally), and I would like to send you a $100 check (a good one, too) to help with your losses!! Been there, Done that!!
BTW...I vote with Craig's idea (I love that sense of revenge! lol)!! If I ever catch the one's that did it to me...we could all have us a TURKEY SHOOT!! ....Neil
PS...Anyone else care to join me with a donation??? I'm SURE those snakes weren't cheap!!
 
Hey Neil. My address in the web, hell no. Man, now I have 2 dogs, the puppy and a Maltese, I bring the last one like an alarm, but that pervert bark even to the moon and I’m becoming a paranoiac, every time at night when he bark I going out with PEPITO on hand and that isn’t good.  Please don’t send me your ex, I have enough, if I see a big box at my door I will return it but with two for the price of one.  Lol. I only ask God to give me the opportunity to put my hands on those bastards. I’m really appreciating your initiative but I can’t accept any donation of money, but if someone has some spare corns or kings, I will buy them. I feel so frustrated when I see all those empty boxes . Don't take me wrong,this is a hobby for me, and I will build my collection again, but with few surprises just in case……..
 
Hi Carlos,


              Like I told you before when we were talking, This is going to be the first year for me to breed my kings and I am only breeding a limited amount of them.  But I will be breeding Lavender cla kings, 50/50 cal kings, desert phase cal kings, and also albino- both striped and banded and if you want some of my babies you are welcome to them FREE, and if the lavenders breed then it will come from the female I bought from you, so it will be nice to get that bloodline back in your collection.  Just stay in touch with me and you have my numbers.

CARLOS,


MY MOST SINCERE APOLOGIES AND CONSOLATION AT THE LOSS OF YOUR PET AND ANIMALS.

I am stunned, yet I know the potential for this to happen exist for all of us. Every time your bring someone into your snakeroom/facility, they could be eyeballing the place to see what to come back to take at a laterdate. I would begin the search by backtracking and trying to find out who I invited into my snake room in the last year or so. I f local i would "Visit" them for afternoon tea:)
Please email me a list of the snakes that were taken , size, description and anythign that sets them apart. The reptile community is rather small and sooner or later these snakes will surface in SOMEBODIES collection, especially if they were nice ones. E mail me the list. If i come across ANY of them you will be contacted immediately. Take care.

Carlos

Im SO SORRY to hear what has happened to you. I would like a list of everything that was stolen, so I can keep an eye open at shows for anyone suspicious. A few years back someone broke into my store, and stole all of my animals, includeing my breeding stock, so I truely know how it is. I was lucky to not have anything happen like what happened to your dog, and all I can say is what cowards. Its quite typical that a theif would have no balls.

If there is anything I can do for you let me know.

carlos, so sorry to hear about your recent tragedy. I would send you down some of my corns, but I have never shipped any before. If anyone who might be going to ship snakes down to Carlos is going to be at the Northern Virginia Reptile Expo on May 11, I would be willing to DONATE them (no, you can't buy them). Unfortunately I don't have ANY extra money (IRS got us for $1,000 this year), so I can't pay for shipping. Let me know if you are interested, and I will let you know what kinds I have.

Hey Mickey!! Don't do that to Carlos?? He needs help! If it wasn't for Brenda, you wouldn't know which way was UP!! hahaha
What's up, pal? See ya in Orlando! ....Neil
 
When they are caught they should be given the same poison.My heart goes out to you and your family

Carlos,
I can't do much to help you find your animals, but I will keep an eye out in the Phoenix area.
I would like to send you an '01 Amel male that I have. I got out of corns last year, but kept a few hatchlings back (you know..just in case...  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> ) I wish I could send you more, but thats all I have.
This snake came from a snow x flourescent orange cross(from Rich Z).
Email me a shipping address and we can work out the best time to ship.
 
After what happened to Neil again. I think I better star building a BUNKER to put my reptiles. Any body is selling those coyote or wolf tramps?
