    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 Scammer Lance Allen (Lance.Allen423)

I am, however, still awaiting Lance's ID confirmation...and the clock is ticking. I don't care if you go to a FedEx Office or get Colt to help you. Prove that you are a separate person, or you'll be doing serious damage to Colt's name.

As long as the focus is back on you, Lance, You've stated here, and privately, that you plan on making things right with the people from whom you stole. In the PM, you indicated that it wouldn't be til the middle of the month (or so). The obvious question is why so long? Just ship the snakes back to their rightful owner(s), and be done with it.

You can do that...and some people will comply (others may politely - or not so politely - tell you they don't need your business). FWIW, that isn't foolproof, anyway - there have been people that photoshopped such things into images, or even contacted people selling the morphs they are advertising to request pictures like that...only to turn around and send them to their own prospective customers.

Hmmmm ... It does appear that Lance and Colt are two separate individuals

To be clear about my last post - I have no doubts that they are separate people...but I want confirmation that Lance is really part of it.
He made an excuse, and sent me his DL number....aside from the ease of making something like that up, the number in Colt's ID was obscured. (In fairness, I did say he could obscure the number.) I'm not saying that Colt is the one behind all the accounts - just that I'm jaded enough to question all angles of a situation like this.

You mean your brother scamming people? That's rich.
 
Yes, I mean what my brother did was a wake up call for me. I personally wouldn't even think of doing something like that. I dont really understand what "that's rich" is supposed to mean. Everyone is entitled to their own personal opinion. I know 99% of the people on here do not believe me but I've done all I can do to prove who I am. But I am tired of going in circles with this stuff..
 
Colt, at this point (for me), it's not about identities; yeah, you and Lance are brothers. Your separate identities have been proven, at least to me.

It's also not about any "wake up call" for you. It's not about your claim that you and Lance are not that close, because that's just not true and we both know that. It's not even about "minds made up". It's about snakes that Lance appears to have acquired illegally and unethically and you are aware of it.

Point blank, Colt. Where are those snakes now? Proving your identity is great ... claiming your own ethics and honesty is great. Question is, knowing what you and we all know now, and having claimed your own ethics and honesty, what are YOU and Lance going to do to get those snakes back to their rightful owners?

No going around in circles here, Colt. Just answer, please. Where are those snakes and when will they be returned?

This kid is just using his brothers name under a new account. Buyers beware.
 
I don't know where the snakes are. I didn't know that he had stolen from anyone I knew he had 2 snakes shipped to my house but how was I supposed to know he didn't purchase them? I don't know when he return them and as far as not being close we really are not. ...... Nicholas Gill this is not lance it is colt he is not using my name

Thanks for all of your guys time.

You are missing the point most folks are trying to make... repeatedly. Your identity is not as much concern as the current location and status of snakes Lance, your brother, admits to have stolen. If you really want to make a good name for yourself, try to help return those animals to their rightful owner. That kind of kudos would go a long way to giving you a better reputation.
 
If I knew where the snakes was yes I would take them and get on here and find who he got them from. But I dont know where they are I wish I did truly because I really don't want be guilty by association. I've only been in the ball python world for about 2 yrs and im just trying to start breeding and then my name gets brought into something I had nothing to do with. ..

Is it just a coincidence that both you and your brother use the word sale instead of sell?

Here are a couple of quotes from Dennis and Lance's email exchange...

"On Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 5:27 PM, Lance wrote:
Not tryin to sale the ones in pic like I said I didn't have pics on my phone"

"On Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 5:34 PM, Magical Geckos wrote:
By the way, before you call someone an idiot maybe you should not say your gonna SALE me something. You do not sale people things, you SELL them."

Just an observation.
 
Ok just because doesn't mean we are the same no matter if its sale, sell or sail. Just like someone on here based it on my punctuation was the same as lance I cant help that. As far as SALE instead of SELL I apologize for misspelling it.
 
Colt, I am 50/50 on your brother using your name here.

Consider this: lance joined in February, had a BG thread started about him, and has been caught with at least 3 other usernames. You joined in March. Was it before or after the 26th?

You take his wife to work, he uses your Internet, he has his snakes delivered to your house, but you're not that close and you don't know where the snakes are?

Your first post was "why is my name here", not "OMFG, my brother used my house to steal from!". If you read the thread, you should have known why your name was brought up.

In the middle of you trying to clear yourself, your brother serendipitously reappears and falls on a sword, only to disappear again.

Too many oddities for me.
 
I don't remember if it was before or after the 26th. The reason I took his wife to work is because she didn't have a ride that day. As far as having stolen snakes sent to my house it wasn't untill I put 2&2 together on these post that the snakes sent to my house were stolen. The reason lance got back on here is because I told him that he needed to make it right and get my name out of the ditch with you guys. The only people I have done business with since I been collecting snakes have benn. BSR, VMS HERP, NCREPTILES, ECRB and MD REPTILES at repticon

I get that you're trying to make your case...but when you think of how common that really is on this site, it isn't very convincing.
I'm not completely sold on the idea that one person isn't behind all the accounts...but, for all we know, it could be Khalid Sproles (kidding).
 
And, as I recall, Colt's account was registered about a week before is thread started (I looked at that pretty early). The others (Khalid and Jerry) were started after.
 
If that's true, I would think it would strengthen Colt's position that he's not his brother. I don't see why Lance would create dummy accounts until after he was accused of stealing.

I'm still having a hard time with Lance not being aware of what happened or able to help fix it. I hope he can help get Juante's animals back to him.
