    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 MATT OAKLEY

That's pretty amazing! I wonder how much the interior designers charged to make it look exactly like someone's dirty, filthy room and then superimposed pictures of crowded animals with minimal substrate and stuck sheds on some of those found plywood 'racks'?
Probably a fortune!
 
if you check the bp.net link, Robyn at SYR made a post basically saying that Mr. Oakley has one more chance. any more shipping jobs like that and he won't be able to use SYR any longer.

He had have no chance if it was my decision. I would make it public and he would be done. done done done. You don't think he's gonna ditch SYR if a similar service comes along. He's a vindictive little peckerhead. I'd cut my losses with him now.
 
Shipped 4 boxes of snakes today:

WOW! Shipping a live animal in a produce box. The poor python had to be put down. Those pictures of the racks? One tub had 4 boas. The one rack with ball pythons had a tub with a snapping turtle in one of them.
 
I didn't want it to mean anything, which is why I asked Ezra Mcdougle
 
Matt must be taking husbandry lessons from bigdaddywholesales.

I bet $1000 every animal at his place has RI and Mites, also I'd be willing to bet they have IBD. Matt Oakley leave this hobby NOW, your not wanted and you make honest herpers looks as bad as yourself.

He'll never leave voluntarily as long as people keep buying stuff from him. And unfortunately as long as he keeps pricing stuff as low as he does he'll continue to make money and stick around. Money not spent on husbandry, apparently. Yes, there are people who care more about the cheapest price rather than buying from someone who doesn't cut corners at the risk of the animals' life. Nope, he's gonna stick around and continue to screw around until it gets to the point they stop allowing the rest of us to ship our reptiles because of folks like him.
 
Trevor, what are the two of the top three dates/history on the vet bill on 09/09/09 (type P & B), it seems like medications.....for a snake that was put in the freezer the night before, but I'm probably reading it wrong....

She was put to sleep last night via the freezer method.

Matt, will you refund Trevor his money if he proves to you the dead snake is in fact the one you sold him?- (since you just sold/shipped four snakes today you should have the money, or some of it anyway).

I also think that Trevor should provide Matt with picture(s) of the dead snake before he has his vet dispose of the body.
 
That is Baytril that I was given on the the 29th. Why it was entered like that, I will have to call and ask.

I was given that Baytril on 8/29 and administered it up until I made the decision for her to be euthanized on 9/8. She was prescribed 75mg q 24h IM for that time period.

I have already dropped the snake off at the vets office to be disposed of. We have been given a copy of her record in which at the top has been noted that the snake was put down over the night of 9/8 and 9/9. I can have a copy of this scanned and posted here if you'd like.
