    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....

As an FYI, unless directed to by your vet, you shouldn't be giving hindgut fermenting animals simple sugars orally, it can cause death due to excess acidification of the large intestine....

Exactly. I worked in the veterinary field for 12+ years. While test reports and results are not always readily available, receipts generally show weights, number of animals examined, procedures and tests performed, etc.

I find it VERY hard to believe that someone who has been on this site for TEN YEARS doesn't know how to use the quote button or how to recognize a moderator......Linda sure is acting like shes a newborn deer in the headlights newbie. Very odd, if you ask me.

Then you should have never mentioned it. You are now in violation of one of the biggest BOI rules ... third party quotation. It appears you said that to "shock" the readers and to portray Nick as the absolute worst seller in the world, therefore garnering the reader to be on your side. The worst part of this, it wasn't needed to prove your case, the skinks are in terrible condition. All it did was make you look petty and childish, repeating hearsay as fact, trying to smear the sellers name further. Without actual proof, you should never mention any serious claim.

Did you not get a receipt from the vet when you paid? Please don't copy and paste your previous answer, I am not asking for a vet report at this time. Continuing g to evade that question doesn't look good on your part.

I know nothing of MTS, so I cannot say if those are underweight, but the condition of the skin is horrifying. This post would be so much shorter had you left out the crypto and focused squarely on the skinks and answering all questions without evasion would also have been prudent.

Another nail on the head.

The OP was quite melodramatic about "all" of her animals possibly being infected. I asked about quarantine. A vague answer insued, not surprisingly. I don't believe Crypto was ever an issue with her. What I do have a problem with is the opening "pulling of heart strings". Thus my unanswered question, avoided many times. She stated that "all" of her animals were in jeopardy do to a "crypto rumor" lacking any proof whatsoever. Threw in Ty Parks for the icing on the cake. So lets get right to pesky lottle thing that has been bugging me since post one. Define "homeless". I have fed homeless people in shelters I Philly. Homeless, to me, means you either live at a shelter, a tent in the woods or at a motel if you can find work. The OP claims to have been homeless for SIX MONTHS! It takes most people a year or more to recover and build a new life. Yet the OP managed to be homeless for six montjs, feed "all" of those reptiles and while paying for all those medical bills and a new place to live, shelled out over 1500 bucks for new lizards. OP, if you won the lottery, you should have used that money to pay whoever took care of your reptiles for SIX MONTHS! This is why you wouldn't answer my question...how many animals do you have? Glass houses?

Convenient how she has completely avoided both of our posts bringing this subject up, eh?

Homeless people can't buy $900 skinks (or shouldn't be) so this whole thing just screams "pity party" which ironically wasn't even needed. Had she just stuck to the skinks' condition she would've looked totally fine. Now she looks shady and utterly problematic.

Careful dude. She'll be calling us trolls before long. You're exactly right. She set up her case using the "woe is me" card. Six months homeless? Miraculously recovered over night and BAM!, spends over 1500 bucks! Lottery? Casinos? On a friends dime of course.

It just really risk me when people bring needless and completely irrelevant info into a business situation like this to gain sympathy.

If you've had such a rough life, WTF are you doing blowing a month of pay for some people on lizards? I don't get it.

She has dodged and avoided so many thing in this thread that I wouldn't believe anything she said unless it had empirical evidence. It sounds like a fairy tale to me.
 
First paragraph here...the sympathy card setup. Second paragraph, the failsafe..."do not want to post this and go through all the back and forth
BS, NOR THE PROVING OF EVERYTHING"...sums it up....

Bingo....somebody that UP FRONT says they don't want to prove anything is suspect as hell if you ask me.
 
Hey David, do you know how to share those text messages here? I tried from my phone. Not hapnin'. I'd like the audience here to see her true colors. Block out the curse words of course.

I would always just screen shot and then edit using my phone's photo software that is built in.

One thing, if you alter the screen shot, it won't let you post the edited version....you have then re-screen shot the edited version, so its an "original" if that makes any sense. Took me a few tries to figure that out, lol.

Are you completely dense or purposefully being obtuse? Take a picture of your receipt and post it, forthwith.

This would be a moot point, had you been more forthcoming with answers instead of the runaround and feigning ignorance. At this point in time, I have doubts you have visited a vet and would like proof of such.

I do hope you have taken them to the vet and receive at minimum half the vet bill for them. Only a blind person send animals out in that condition saying they are in a "heavy" shed. I'm appalled at their skin condition.

––·––·
Nick, I do hope you have learned something with this.
A. Inspect all animals completely before shipping & take pictures.
B. Never request funds sent Friends and Family, it screams SCAMMER.
