    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....

Bad Guy Outback Reptiles

I thought that 2 Manassas shows ago, I saw you with that Thomas kid and his mother. A few years ago when I worked at petsmart that lady used to tell me all about her son's spiders. Please correct me if I am wrong but I always thought that was Thomas and his mother, expecially since you two were the ones apologizing to us for what you said on the Arachnoboards thread. Does Shane have the same mother as Thomas? Or did Thomas change his name?

I know you're pissed off at the kid and have every right to be, but is it legal for you to engage in a business transaction with a minor child anyway? If all he could do is look at you animals because you wouldn't sell to a minor, what did you expect him to do except to walk by your table gawking?

And what do you mean by warnings? What warnings are you or your staff giving to a 15 year old kid?

And if you sold that snake to Shane (who would obviously be of Davids same age), I think that's a pretty desperate, stupid and slimy thing to do. I don't know many sellers around here that would knowingly conduct business with a minor. It makes for trouble as you can see.

Your response please.

I've seen outback sell to minors, and they only let the transaction go through with parental consent. That boy Shane was with his mother I believe, and Davids old friend Thomas held a grudge with Outback when they wouldnt let him purchase an Usambara Baboon(Tarantula) without his mothers permision.

Do you feel like taking back your slimy quote now ?:shrug01:
 
So...let me get this straight. He was going to visit his aunt who was just in a car accident, and he couldn't possibly wait to get back to post this thread? Really? Guess that shows how much he cares about his aunt....

You still haven't really explained the identical IP address issue. Logging in as Shane will not cause your own account to have the same IP address. You also posted 40 minutes after the OP; why were you at Shane's house, posting from his computer, if he and his family were gone to see his aunt?
 
Just for clarification, is Mike Schultz an employee of Outback Reptiles?

I thought I remembered a previous thread where he said he was not, and in these posts, he refers to Outback as "we."
 
Oh, is this a good example of all the ball python experience that shane has?

http://dhreptileco.webs.com/apps/blog/entries/show/1660760-manassas-show-

"So yesterday Shane and Justin went to teh Manassas Show and picked up a CB '09 Pinstripe Female and a CB '08 Pastel Female! Bumblebees next year!"

First of all, a bumblebee is made with a pastel x spider pairing.

Second of all, I think by the age of 15 your parents should have given you the "birds and the bumblebees" conversation so you'd know you can't breed two females together.

Well, you can, but all you'll get is a great spectator sport but no offspring ;)

Shane is african american. His mother is too. Thomas has spiders. He isthe one that lies and told me how terrible outback is. I believed him until I actually took the time to LOOK at your animals. Thomas lies and we no longer talk. He is white. His mother is an older woman

Someone other than a minor asked you a question so why don't you quit playing with the kid (I think he has enough sand in his eyes) and try answering the simple question.

I never said anywhere that I do not work for Outback Reptiles so I asked him to find the thread that he is talking about. Is that clear enough for you or do you need me to spell it out?

Hey Mike,

I guess I need to spell it out for you, I asked you to answer the question not be a smart ass. If this is the example of how Outback Reptiles representatives react when asked a simple question I assure you Outback Reptiles will never see my business. And rest assured if someone were to ask me about purchasing from Outback Reptiles I will suggest against it. How's that spelling it out for you smart ass? :thumbsup:
 
Shoot, such a long day! I have had this stupid thread on my mind all day. I called shane at 6:10Am to discuss what to do. Then at 3:00PM to try and get this fixed. When I posted this thread with Shanes permission because his Aunt was in a car wreck I told him that the IP would start a contraversy. But he said he care more about getting his snake well or getting a healthier snake than a couple of angry people on a web site. I said "shane I have a history with outback that I am not proud of but I have your back because I am your friend". The two of us have no intention of hurting outback. We just wanted to get to the bottom of it. The snake is lovley. Its patterns are pristine. It is a beautiful snake. I was NOT at the Manassas show the 29th but if I was I would have tried and got something from outback. Shane also looked for a checkered garter from outback for me. I have nothing against outback. If anything I think they are one of the breeders with the nicest selection. Now Thomas is a different person than Shane. I no longer associate with Thomas at any time. I am not trying to take anything from outback. I just want my friend to get to the bottom of this.

LOL.

A 15 year old kid that needs a crowbar to pry his head out of his ass isn't a real shocker, but the way that guy is carrying on for his age is just.......wow.

Well you know they say you should pick on someone your own size. I'm guessing Mike thought that meant maturity level and seized the opportunity. Maybe when the kid is done with the crowbar he could loan it to Mike. :thumbsup:
 
Please accept my apologies for offending anybody in the process of discounting the testimonies of these obviously stable and well-mannered kids. To make amends I have written a poem:

Hey! I'm a Dog!
I play in the mud!
I sometimes roll around in crud!
My favorite activities are pooping and sleeping
But I also enjoy barking and eating.
Yesterday I chased a UPS Guy;
I ran through my invisible fence and started to fry :/
So i went back into my yard, but sh*t! Malfunction!

My electrical collar continued to sizzle my brain!

I ran to the door, looking for help
But my master was gone and could not hear me yelp!
He had gone to the store to buy fishing lures,
And should be back by now (was he taking detours?)

But wait? What was happening? The UPS guy is back?
A package for me? I'm a dog, is he on crack?

But he leaned really close (he could see my despair)
He said "What's wrong? Why do I smell burning hair?"
I tried to explain my dire situation
But he could not speak dog, much to my frustration.

So I motioned to him as if to say "My neck!"
He gave me a look as if to say "What the heck?"
Luckily for me, UPS Hires intelligent employees
He figured out what was wrong, and freed me! YIPPEE!

With the collar removed, I sighed in relief.
Then decided to give the UPS Guy more grief!
For I was no longer restrained by the invisible fence
And my territory needed some vicious defense!
I chased that evil mail-man away
My home was safe... at least for the rest of the day...
