    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....

Mike, what in blue hell are you tyring to do? what are you talking about? seriously, I cannot understand why you keep on talking about this let's be friends crap
 
Only time i would shove them between 2 slices of bread is if i am eatting frog legs which are very good you should try some with some nice coors light yummy
 
Dave because i am a friendly guy and wants to make friends is that to hard for you to understand i mean i know your 16 but shesh i would at least think being friendly and trying to talk civial with people is a good thing in life or maybe i am wrong and should just throw temper fits and whine and cry all the time i dunno but i think i will stick with being friendly and try and make a couple friends along the way
 
well Mike, can i tell you that you won't be making a lot friends in this hobby if you and Nick don't change their ways, and please go loose some weight, seriously, and tell Nick that he's full of crap and he is the biggest pile of waste that me and my friends laugh at everyday at school over the way how he looks, and how pathetic he sounds in all his videos
 
At this point I am in agreement with Mr. Yu. There have been far to many lies already to accept what appears to be going on at this point but I'll keep watching and monitoring. Perhaps my view can be changed but it will take more than the talk I have seen thus far.
There have been many good con men taking advantage of well meaning members in the past and I smell ........
 
Well Dave maybe you should be the one telling him that yourself but i am sure you know what his answer is going to be but anyways well if i make a few friends i do if i don't so be it but i am still going to be a friendly guy nomatter what no need for the extra stress in my life i got enough of it as it is like chosen between bacon or sausage for breakfast or having a beer for dinner or milk you know what i mean there is other things i worry about then drama on the net
 
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
 
Well it has been real nice speaking with all you tonight thank you for talking with me i hope you all have a real pleasant night and good dreams and have a fun day at work and be safe everyone and again thank you
 
You see Mike there is something you are missing here this community is small, and in it all you have is your reputation. Once you lose that, your left with nothing.

Judging by this thread you and your partner have completely totaled your reputations before you are even in business. Please understand I not trying to be a dick, I am just being honest with you.

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.
 
Hey Mike. Your Buddy Nick is now slamming the people trying to help im. Saying he knows more about reptiles then they do.

He is your partner. Like I said as he is your business partner what he does reflects your business. In turn reflects you.

If he was just a friend it would be different.

I am trying. He is not.

On his new comments.

Bro this is BS. I am giving you two my time. And it seems you two are wasting it. I am a very kind person and want to help.

He is showing he does not want to fix these issues. He cares more about his subscribers then this hobby. He could not care less about this hobby.

Bro you give me one good reason why I should continue to help if Nick thinks he knows more then Ball Python BREEDERS! Or he knows more about reptiles then Reptile Breeders. There is hundreds and hundreds of years of knowledge here. And he slaps it in the face.

I only went over this one video in detail. ONLY ONE. And I found all this bad info. He has 157 videos. about half are slamming a person.

He is not about the hobby... He is about Nick!

Also, Your answers to my questions show me you need to learn a lot about the snakes you say you know about. I was not talking about Scrub morphs. I was talking about the locales. I was not talking abot Blood Morphs. I was talking about the locales.

This just shows me you have stuff to learn. That is COOL though. Sit back and learn.

Nick knows more about reptiles then us. Well that is what he says. But he force fed baby boas that were 2 DAYS OLD! 2 fricken days man! There was no need! I have never force fed a snake after being born or hatched in 2 days. He lost a lot of them babies and this was why.

I could go on and on bro.

But I think I am wating my time. You tell me if I am.....
 
I just saw that comment. If he knew "a lot more about reptiles" then he would provide a lot better care than what he is doing.

I don't have snakes, never have, but even I Know the husbandry better than Nick. Pathetic.
 
Gary maybe it is a waste on his part but i am trying to learn from you and what you know i am not here to try and waste your time nor anyone elses i mean i am taking my time out to just be on here myself i like the thought that someone cares enough to take there time and to explain things that maybe are wrong and such you have taken your time and tried to explain to me things that are wrong and i am correcting any issues that arise i am learning alot from here either be bad talking me or just talking with me from people here i mean when the people bash me and call me names they still always usually add some pretty neat things to learn in there bashing rant so thats what i like about it all this is helping me grow with this and be more wise to situations that arise and to see the other side of things but with me Gary your not wasting your time Also i would like to add that the ball python thing i seen the vid and i am going to ask some questions to it but i think he mis worded alot he said on there but then again i could be wrong and thats how he does things at his home and yes your correct i got alot of learning to do and i want to learn alot doesn't anyone see thats why i am here for i mean come on why else would someone sit here and take a abuse from people just to get info from the few who do not bash me or anything i am here to learn and talk like when i asked you about the saw scale vipers i want to know more about them and thought you could help me out on there but i think people are mad at me for asking questions on this thread due to i guess this is not the time nor place to be asking questions or try to make things better or to learn here but at least i am making an attemp to try here which i thought maybe alot of others would of been more then happy to help but i guess i just messed that all up with alot of crap and all but it is cool i understand that my misleading words and the way i put things made people uneasy about talking to me or trying to show me other ways to go about doing things but Gary your not wasting your time with me on here i can promise you that one
 
Just a note to everyone on here this is not a defend Nick post here this is what i have seen believe it or not when i first met Nick i Have not seen no bad husbandry what so ever and all his snakes are very healthy not saying he did not have bad before but when i first met him and all i seen what he had and everything and i must say he was keeping them by the book thats just the backstage view of things thats not on youtube thats what i noticed i mean if i would of saw he was mistreating them or keeping them bad i would of never partnered up with him seriously this is not i am Nicks buddy and here to defend the muff but i am just stating on what i have seen and everything that i see from him now in the present not the past and i hope we both continue to grow and learn more and more daily please try not to take this is a bad way but just from what i seen now mind you i have not seen them all either but from the stuff i saw they were kept well and clean and approperate and i know they are now for sure there is no question on that one

Hello Gary when did he slam someone? i just got up so i know nothing about this one yet. who did he slam?

I had commented about his video on YouTube and he turned around and told me he knew more about reptiles than I did...

Is that not a slam??
 
lol I said I wouldn't post... But Mike how would you know if he was keeping them the right way ? From you're posts here it seems you really have no knowledge at all with any reptile. With being his Friend you have watched his videos and if you never noticed to people started to point it out to you. I am starting to worry about the animals in you're care.
