Good Guy Outback Reptiles (Mike Schultz)

Tom, I was shown the classified ad post that mentioned you, so yes, I do.

What classified ad post are you talking about

I got a group of people that want to buy Mikes dead snakes

 

[Amelanistic Orca]

I intend on setting three of them on my mantle over my fireplace I think they are works of art

 

[Amelanistic Orca]

One of my friends is really upset he wants this exact animal he can’t get in touch with Mike to get the animal

It’s for his trophy cabinet

 

[Jim@SW]

Wow

Talking about someone mother like that is ok? Dozen’t make anyone a good guy in my book for a comment like that. I have always heard rumors, but now this is first hand knowledge. AKA smoking gun. Treating a potential customer in this manner seems wrong

I was going to buy all those little sad mistakes in a jar and the dead mother that got cut open by an amateur

It seems that people forgot that all is fair in love and war you can’t say something about my mom or my girlfriend and then I can’t say something about your beer belly your haircut or your skin color maybe you guys grew up in a different environment than I did I grew up in aZillaSTAN

And I’ve got multiple lawsuits and hundreds of pages of police reports from people talking to me like Michelle just did in person

Amelanistic Orca has also been excused for a while.

Not sure whose mother I was talking about, My beef is with Tom due to his inflammatory racist remarks.

JIm, as you are someone who has historically been a client of Outback Reptiles it pains me to have to add you to our blacklist. However, we are vehemently opposed to engaging in business with racists or those who willingly associate themselves with racists so the pain is minimal in telling you please do not contact us for any future business arrangements.

Best of luck to your future breeding endeavors and hopefully also in finding new friends to associate with.

Do you think you’ll survive Jim?

Since this IS the BOI. I have purchased healthy snakes from Outback Reptile. I’m new to the hobby and I have received sound advice from Mike on different species’ care and handleability, even when it meant I chose to not buy. I’ve purchased 7 of Mike’s PVC cages, 4-6 footers and have found them to be well constructed. He moved the order right along and even had them securely loaded and tied down in my pickup truck, and i wasn’t purchasing the super tricked out models. I’ll definitely do business with him again, and I do recommend him to others. Thanks Mike!

After reading through this thread mike I have to say...


you couldn’t have handled that any better, hopefully I’ll be making my first purchase sooner than later! Cheers.

Tom, the fact that you would choose someone's skin color to attack tells me all I need to know about what kind of human being you are. I know he can't post now, but I also know he's viewing. I'm not excusing Mike in any way as I've never been too impressed with his business in observation over the years. But even with as stupid and offensive as what Mike did, the fact that you think of skin color as something to attack and demean shows you to be a worthless, unfortunate addition to the gene pool.

We've all had our fun, let's try to keep the thread on topic now rather than continue pandering to those who are clearly starved for attention

I am a bit confused, was the initial animosity due to Mike selling deceased ETB babies? Fixed specimens are a staple in scientific herp collections and many folks enjoy collecting them. I saw the original ad and thought the price was a bit steep for potentially amateur fixed specimens (simply placing dead animals in fixative isn't sufficient for a long term collection) however this is a free country and if he was breaking no legal or ethical rules then it is his prerogative to offer said animals. Am I missing something?

 

[Will0W783]

I think the initial animosity was related to a previous interaction between Mike and Tom, but I'm honestly not 100% sure myself.

 

[Mike Schultz]

That guy has had a hard on for attacking me for years now. I've had him blocked on FB for over 2 years, and he found a way to pester me here on fauna now. True dedication to the fandom there.

These have been fixed and then preserved by somebody who makes a living in the specimen "business"

 

[Phil Bradley]

With this information (specimens were preserved correctly) there is no reason why anyone should throw shade on Mike for offering them for sale.

My single experience with Mike was a trade involving GTPs for a C. zebrata. Everything went smoothly and the zebrata is in good health and growing nicely.
