Greetings everyone,
I apologize for my absence from my thread over the course of the weekend. I must say that this turned into something much larger than I had expected, with a large portion of it comprised of childish banter and nonsense, which I am utterly disappointed at. I posted animals up for adoption, and it turned into a battleground between many of you... and you expect to me to hand over my animals to you???
I am especially disappointed in both Palex and TripleMoonExotics behavior in this thread, as much of what they had posted had nothing to do with the original post, and was nothing more than antagonistic comments directed at both Vampiregirl and Kawtnuffin. After I had stated that I was not comfortable giving my animals to you(triplemoon), and after Palex said he was unable to take my animals, that should have been the end of your comments. I must say that I lost my respect for you in particular, Palex. Upon initially posting on this thread, I had thought of you as being a mature, and down to earth individual. After reading through the pages upon pages of content stimulated by you(among others), I have lost the respect I once had, and your credibility in my eyes is reduced to that of any other 'child' on this website who likes to mess around..
Over the weekend, I had contacted every individual who responded to this thread. Interestingly, many of the individuals never responded back to me. After talking with several people(those I was able to get in touch with), I have decided to send my animals to Thomas Felgerson (Kawtnuffin) in California. In fact we made arrangements to ship them out this morning, and the animals are now out of my hands, and are on a Delta flight out to California as I type this.
Although his spelling and grammar wasn't perfect, what I found most appealing about him, was his honesty. Upon speaking to him on the telephone, he basically told me everything about himself; even some very personal information, including his short stint in the prison system of California, as well as his upbringing as the son of a Baptist Missionary in Papua New Guinea. While I do not think I've ever met him, although I am not positive of this, I trust him in everything he has told me. I do not see a reason why he would lie to me, especially while we are talking mono-mono on the telephone. From the list of candidates who I was able to talk with(and those who did not even respond to my replies), I felt that Thomas would be the best candidate for these animals. He was the only person that I felt confortable in believing to be an honest to good guy(after all, he was raised by a baptist minister!) Education and grammar do not matter when it comes to keeping reptiles, and I am sure he will do a good job with them.
Thomas has also agreed to post on this thread when he receives them, and offer updates on their progress in the days to come. Good luck Thomas, hope to hear some good news in about 2 more hours...! Give us an update when you receive them.
Thank you all for the many responses (those that were not childish in nature) and interest in my animals. I feel that these animals are now going to be in the best of hands and care, where they can continue out a normal and healthy life. I understand that this was a rare opportunity, and many of you may feel disappointed in my decision, as I did not choose you; but I think we can all agree, that Thomas was the best candidate for these animals.
Thanks again people,
Regards,
Rob
So i hope you let us know soon! As we say here on the dark side."May the blood of the unbelievers spill onto thee!"
