Well tell everyone this watch out on youtube for our videos coming out in the near future and then see if it is to standards which i know in some peoples eyes it will not be because nothing we do in this world will please everyone but we will be giving out correct and right info on these vids and having some fun doing them thats what this hobby is all about having fun and learning and thats what we intend to do so keep monitoring maybe one day you will see me or nick are not con men as some may say i mean really conning why would i need to go through all that when i got the money to get what ever it is i want in this hobby but on the good note is that i will be working to get the right vids out with the right info and also show you guys who hate us with a passion that we are people who just love the hobby and love what we do no matter how big or how small i am still happy with what i got and how i live but maybe one day you all will see that we are not the bad guys or evil over lords of the reptile community
Yes, Mike, the two of you actually qualify as con men. Using free, anonymous websites to pretend you are a rescue while bragging about your breeding operation on reptile forums and YouTube is a scam. In a video that you made, you talk about breeding a female boa that you rescued. You got called out on your scam, and your 100 posts of incoherent rambling isn't going to change the fact that you got caught, even if you end your posts with bizarre requests for us to form a friendship with you based on the fact that we both keep reptiles.
You certainly are not "bad guys" or "evil lords" of the reptile community, and its because you simply aren't part of it. If you were truly concerned with how you appeared to the community, you would at least get Nick to stop using the word "we" when referring to his reptile-related activities, and stop sticking up for him on a public forum. While Nick is one of the sickest people I have ever seen with my own eyes, you just appear to dumb to recognize it. He's not a guru, Mike, he's a lunatic. Why are his self-promotional videos "dedicated" to the community just 4 minutes of him shooting guns? Doesn't that tell you something? The
focus of all his videos is to address his fans and to show his machismo, which isn't much, especially when he flashes guns to supplement it. What's wrong with you, dude? Why can't you wake up and see this? If you ever want to be taken seriously, you'll cut ties with him and back off this thread, because they are the two things that will prevent you from ever becoming legit in this hobby. Don't babble back about how deep down he's actually a really good guy, because we've all seen that he's not. I wish I could post all the messages I receive from him, but frankly, I don't have the time. Nick actually gets more angry when I don't respond- proof that all he's after is ATTENTION.
You guys may not have thought of this, but since your audience is primarily children, you are actually creating more problems. Since this whole thing started, two new "rescues" in Virginia have appeared out of nowhere. I emailed them both from separate and anonymous email accounts to see what was going on. One actually was a high school kid who had some empty tubs in a ball python rack that his parents bought for him, and the other was a girl who was looking for free herps, but only if they were "nice."
So your actions have had more ramifications than you thought. Not only does the community know that you are big dumb ox who prefers to stick around and dig his own hole, but you are spawning copycat acts who have the potential to do further damage to the hobby in this state.
So back away, Mike. Go clean your cages. Go read a book. Go do something more useful than posting an endless string of run-on sentences to this thread. There isn't much you can do at this point. Both of your feet are in your mouth.
