No but I sent a link to it via PM to the person who asked me to post it up.

Didnt want to get in "trouble" again for posting in the "wrong" spot.

No, he did the right thing, this gives people a bit of wiggle room. While it won't erase the coincidences that add up to you and Jerry being the same person, and it certainly won't assure us that you are a "fine upstanding business man," it will at least (if the images check out...because I am sure people will check exif data...get the hint people?) assure us that you do have the capacity to take care of the animals you are flipping.

Only if the pics don't check out, does it get moved to the BOI (am I right Harald, if I am not, I know you are going to hit me!...cowers). Otherwise, this is just Michael showing off his set ups, and members asking about the care, amount of clutches he's produced, names of breeders he's purchased from.... Just us members/breeders sharing information.

Final business suggestion...while I know you want to make sales (don't we all?) having your customers jump in the middle of something that they don't understand (obviously a few won't be quite "intelligent" given the example of the one above that can't seem to follow directions) I would suggest that you handle your business without them attempting to "defend" you.

Frankly, they don't have the rep to be able to help you, all they are doing is damaging their own reputations and probably ensuring that they may have only low-rate animals and young dumb customers with no money when they get ready to sell THEIR animals.

I think posting here was a good choice, Michael, though I would have understood if you had posted it in the BOI thread.

It doesn't really matter whether the pics check out or not - as the other part of your post indicated, this is just Michael showing off his set up. If people choose to bring the BOI topics here, they will be the ones facing infractions...this is a discussion forum; and, while the tolerances for wandering topics may be greater, the tolerances for harassment are a whole lot lower.

Thank you, Harald.

Some advice..

The only thing I don't see, and I hope it's just that you forgot, is any sort of quarantine areas.

If you're going to flip animals, you need to be able to set the groups up completely apart from other groups and from your home collection. There are nasties out there that can spread like wildfire through a collection and you don't want to have to find out through your customers calling you en masse complaining that snakes have died. Quarantine is not something to take lightly.

Otherwise, not bad. I hope this is the start of some complete honesty. (Won't touch on the other stuff here..)

I notice that. I am also waiting for someone to check the pictures to see if they were taken yesterday or today as stated in my Pm.

Also, I am seeing a temp of 99 degrees, is there any reason for this, Mike?

 

[Genefreak339]

I'll get a pic of the quarantine area as soon as I get home. It's not pictured because well its quarantined away from everything else lol. I dunno if its the thermo off, because those tubs are back heat or a little of both but 99 on that keeps the tubs at right temperatures. All my other racks are belly heat (which I like much more) and are set much lower temps.

Nice set up! I like the Mountain Dew incubator lol

According to the exif data, they were taken October 29th, 2010. Not recently.

Michael, where are your quarantine cages in relation to your collection? You keep your incubator in your quarantine room?
