    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

THE SNAKE PIT WAS BURGLARIZED *AGAIN* LAST NIGHT!!

Tom, Was it proven that Neil lied? (alot) Was it proven that Neil is 2 faced? yes (very).Was it proven that Neil did not own the snake pit ? yes (by his father) List list is long of the things that were proven bad about Neil and the Snake pit.The only thing that was proven about me was that I handled it badly.I have done 2 shows since all this B.S. started and 1 of the shows was in Orlando (Neil's own backyard) both shows were great for me and almost all the customers wanted to talk about this thread and people were making jokes at Neil's exspense.So to answer your question,yes most of my clients "DO" read the B.O.I. and they have no problem with me.I sell top animals and I do not rip people off they do get their monies worth plus,After all isn't that what counts?People in Tampa know Neil first hand and I have yet to meet one that liked him,People on the net and this forum do not know the real person behind Neil's keyboard.

                                 HAVE A GREAT DAY.
 
Tom...let me ask you a question?? What would "you" do if, when you first start a thread to find animals that were stolen from you, then one of your "so-called" friends comes on and makes about 1000 accusations against you....what do you do when you're "supposed" to be innocent until "proven" guilty?? Would you just sit back and let it continue ad nausea, while "some" of the people on this thread, who actually believe these ridiculous accusations are hounding you to "prove" your innocence??? I would love to see how you would handle something like that....it's very easy to sit behind your computer and tell me that I'm losing credibility because I can't "prove" my innocence....talk about a lesson in futility!! That's why the Constitution was written....that's why we "left" England...to stop crap like that!
Lawson acts like he's working for the McCarthy "communist" blacklist, ....ok, now "prove" you're NOT a communist!! Sorry, Tom...but, I don't have to prove a thing! Lawson has to prove what he's saying...and he CAN'T!! I wonder why that is?? Oh yeah...it's because I am innocent!
My internet business has not slowed down...my store business has certainly not slowed down at all, and my reputation (as told to me by a lot of the "educated" people on this site) has not diminished in the least! But, Dave's "lousy" reputation keeps getting "lousier"!! Tom...you just don't get it, do you?? Well, try reading the Constitution again....maybe it'll give you a clue!
I sure hope Lawson doesn't put you in his sights one day??? I wish you luck ....Neil
 
Neil,I do not have to prove anything,you do it for me with each and every post.In "your opinion" I have a bad rep but my sales say other wise.You should have never brought LT. Dennis Parker or game and fish into this your back yard is the dirtiest.
 
Dave....obviously, you STILL have no clue what you're talking about! My backyard is as clean as any backyard you will come across...it's called keeping things clean! Why don't you go clean your breeding 40x80" building you told everyone you do your breeding in??...oh yeah, that's right...you don't have a building, you live with your mommy in her house! You haven't bred ANY snakes in your life!! You are such a con artist! Why don't you show these fine people ANY of the bills of sale you have for your high-end snakes? Oh yeah, that's right....you don't own any of them, and they're not even in the country! Another con??? You bet! So where are all these happy people that love you so much??? Why is it that they never post in your favor??? Oh yeah, that's right...the TWO of them already have! Why don't you tell the folks how you go into other herp stores in this area, wanting to "tell stories about me", and they all but kick you out!! They "don't" want you anywhere near their store!! You're very bad for their business!! Why would anybody that runs a nice, clean shop want you hanging around with the reputation you have?? They DON'T! What are you doing?? Casing the joint?? Another con?? You bet! I bet you won't answer any of these questions, though...will you?? Another con??? You bet!!
As far as what others think of me....it won't affect me one way or the other...as a matter of fact....three of the folks that were arguing with me in the beginning of this thread....have since "bought" from me! So much for lacking credibility, huh?? Sure, I might come off as immature to some people, that's life...you can't please everyone! I will still continue to be the BEST herp dealer out there! Especially now that Jewell is here! As far as honestly, trust, and doing the right things are concerned....I won't change that for any reason....I will always treat my customers like they were family!!
So, let's see how you will "spin" and weasel your way out of the questions I put to YOU!! Another con? YOU BET!! ....Neil
 
You know what Dave Lawson, I have been very polite and to the point in my comments about you but now I can just say straight out that you are a liar! The animals that I have been offered on several occasions you could not have produced Mr. arrogant! They are all overseas. They are all wild caught. They are all in the possesion of the exporters in three countries who own them who have said staight out, 100% that you have nothing to do with any of them! The site that I am referring to is your website. Where you clearly state on several Burmese and Reticulated Pythons that they are "the only one" or "one of only two" maybe YOU need to go back and read your own lies man.

You know I had this big loooong post ready to point out the B.S. that has been posted by Neil and Evan,But instead I deleted it.I know that most of the people reading this have formed their opinions,I know that my sales have not dropped a dime and have increased somewhat (compared to the sametime last year).But I have questions for you Neil,according to you there was 7 adult albino boas (3.4) and 1 adult anery (1.0) plus 1 3' hypo-super salmon boa (0.1) stolen from your store.Can you post the receipts for all these snakes? Along with the sellers name and contact #.According to state wildlife laws this paperwork will be kept in your files for the peiod of no less then 4 years.Prove to the people here that you at least had the to be "stolen".Oh and by the way I do sell to most stores in the Tampe area and for the last couple weeks they all have gotten super low sale prices so that they can run sale after sale after sale.By the way who are these three people from this forum that all the sudden have been buying from you?

Have a great day.
 
I knew you wouldn't have the guts to answer my questions??? Why not?? You know darn well that they can ALL be PROVEN!! Don't we???
Folks...you see what I mean?? You ask this "person" a question, and the only thing he can do is make "new" accusations!! Now, it's SEVEN Albino Boas??? I wish! You are "pathetic"...in New York, we used to call people like you, "PUNKS"! I started out in this business "after" you...and I'm "blowing your doors off", and you can't handle it! Even Josie is kicking your butt after only 2 years!! Jealousy is a dangerous tool for the uneducated!! My suggestion to you, is you just get out of my life and leave me alone and I'll do the same! Or do you want to come over and beat me up, like you do to old ladies???
Name one...just ONE store in this area that you have sold an animal to!! Just ONE!! You know darn well you can't...because you haven't! And, I know darn well you won't answer THAT question either because you know, that I know, and respect...every other herp shop in this area and I will call them to verify it! Come on....prove you're not lying again....just one store (other than Amazon and Josie)....!! Just one! ....Neil
 
Neil,you are tooooooooooo funny.No I do not want to touch you in anyway,that is tinkers job...remember the peanutbutter story? I have no need to give you or anyone a client list.You believe what you want.I do pity you ,remember God takes care of children and fools....so you are in good hands.
 
Hey Neil - what about the blonde trans pecos, hypo everglade, and several albino corns that YOU BOUGHT FROM DAVE not long after your robbery?? Whoops! Must have "forgotten" about those, huh? Same for the ball pythons you bought before the robbery. Damn that memory...
 
Oh, That's Perfect!!

Folks....If you ever believe ONE WORD that "ever" comes out of his mouth.... that will be your "first" mistake!!

Have you all noticed that he will "never" answer a direct question??? Why, you ask?? Simple...because every one of you can "prove" he's lying through his teeth for yourself! As Evan did!! Notice he never called Evan a liar??? Gee, wonder why that is??
Have you folks ever asked yourself what his "motive" for this extreme animosity is??? ....JEALOUSY!! Pure and simple!! I've always been told that, "Jealousy, is a "big" form of insecurity"! Fits like a glove, doesn't it??? And you think by trying to do this to me, will "help" your reputation?? Well, I guess you can't get an further "down", can you?? The only place left, is "up", huh?? Great ambition!

BTW...I'm not going to mention any names, but...let's just say...Dave, you were "very lucky" your girlfriend was there, from what I hear!! ....Neil
 
Really, Julie?? Well, since you and Angie are now "friends" again...and you KNOW she doesn't lie....ask her if 3 out of the 4 of those Balls didn't die after not wanting to eat at all, and they were so full of ticks, it was pathetic!! Ask her if she didn't tell me that she "never" wanted to see another one of "your" Ball Pythons in the store!! You never heard about it because I just let it slide...I didn't need the headaches...and Angie knows THAT, too!!

Hey Dave...Now you need your girlfriend to fight your battles, too?? Real manly, I must say! No guts to answer those questions yourself???
 
So fellas
Whats the story
I remember Neil dodging questions also
Dave you too??
where's the report??
can it be posted??
what happened in December??
Will the actual truth come out and does anyone care at this point?.....maybe ...maybe not
In any event a lot of people were taken for thier hard earned money and no one seems to want to spill the beans
well...fine!!!
all this post has evolved to is a bunch of he said ,she said, and they all did it
kind of makes me wonder if anybody has a butler[you all know what they say about butlers]
so after 93 pages reps were slapped and pride was fisted also.
will anyones business be hurt
probably not

Neil,no one fights for me.Talk about not answering direct questions, you have yet to answer one after 93 pages.Why do you want me to call Evan a liar?If evan says I do not have the snakes well then tell him to put his money where his mouth is and buy one from me.There was 10 balls (you posted that) and you sold them as c.b. feeders,Now you are saying that there was only 4 and 3 died?Is the truth even in you?

You are always spouting off about giving names to back up your story and not repeating heresay.

who said it,who did you hear it from.I think it is just another lie. pity
 
Forget Comedy Central. This is way more entertaining!!!  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Now that this p!ss!ng contest is once again underway, tell me something. Can either of you write your name on the side of a building yet?  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

On a darker note, do either of you know who suffers the most in Tampa Bay? The "real" herp enthusiasts who could care less about this whole saga. The people who are in it for the animals themselves. Not for the money, not for the reputation. Just because they enjoy herpetoculture. Period. If either of you can act like you have here, then what will keep you from treating a customer the same way? Tell me a few more things. Do either of you keep reptiles personally? Do either of you study and try to learn more about the reptiles you do keep? Do euther of you try to improve and learn upon your husbandry techniques? Now let me tell you something. I am everyday studying, learning, and asking questions about every species of snake I keep. I try to improve upon my husbandry techniques daily. I care about my reptiles. I don't care about making money off them. I am a nobody in the reptile market. But you may want to take my words to heart. Anyways, I've rambled long enough. Take care and have a nice night.

Apple...Geez, man....get it through your head already, will ya??? Every word that has come out of his mouth from the beginning of this thread has been a BOLD FACED LIE!! There is NO proof because there is nothing TO PROVE!! OK, fine...my memory sucks...I get things mixed up a lot...but, I'm not that stupid to rip off my own stuff! With ALL the lies that we have caught HIM IN....doesn't that tell you anything??? His reputation and the "reasons" for his criminal background should tell you everything you need to know about HIS credibility!! He's GOT NONE!! Look, John...I'm not trying to start anything with you, but...I didn't start this thread for this reason...but, I'll sure as heck, finish it!! If he wants a "verbal" war with me, I'd like to see his third-grade education keep up! That goes for any of you....I'll argue with you till the sun comes up if I have to....at least I don't run and hide when a question arises?? Good or bad...I'm IN YOUR FACE! You might not like my answers, too bad...those are my answers, if you don't "understand" my answers, don't come crying to me....you can answer a question for some of these folks four times and they'll still want to know the answer! It's like the kid who came into my store and asked for ONE MICE, please...I said, "one WHAT?"...he says, "I'd like one MICE, please?"...I said..."No, son...it's one MOUSE or two MICE"....he looks right at me and says..."No, mister...my snake can't eat TWO MICE, he can only eat ONE MICE"! There comes a point where you just have to shake your head and let it go, no matter how often you say it...it just won't sink in with some people! ....Neil
 
Those balls were sold to you as w.c. and you were made aware that they were not guaranteed feeding so cut the b.s. If you want to fuss about ticks then you need to check your tanks carefully. I was the one that treated them before you got them and when you checked over each of them at the time of purchse there were no ticks to be seen. As far as what Angie may or may not have said, coming from you I wouldn't believe it anyway. Especially right now with everything that's going on. My point being, you want to raise hell about him not being able to 'name one store' and YOU were one of the stores that bought from him! Jeez...Anyway folks, I'm going to relax. Goodnight.
 
Neil
You got to admit , with all the hoopala[old word] and misinformation about this topic it's kind of hard to sink anything in , kind of like a switch board operator with too many wires and only 2 plugs <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
And if this is only becoming a verbal war with a buncha
bullsh!t going on , why not do it over the phone or by way of personal e-mails
mice or mouse he only wanted one....simple, like you said maybe we should let it go
 
John...Haven't you noticed that three different times I've not posted for more than 10 pages at a clip, trying to let this thing ebb a little...but..noooooo, it keeps going and going and going....because someone with the brains of a two-year-old can't let it go? What's HE got to gain in all this??? He's already alienated all the other pet shops around....notice how he STILL hasn't mentioned the name of ONE shop he's sold to, other than his "Balls" to me, about three months ago?? He's a loser, and he'll always BE a loser! You can bring THAT to the bank!

But, John....you're right! I'm outta this thread for GOOD (for now)....but...I can GUARANTEE YOU, that the PUNKS will come up with more "stuff" for your entertainment pleasure....enjoy it, at MY expense!! ....Neil
 
Hey Rich. I try not to add my name to all this BS, but man I think is time to shut down this hole thing until some one can post the true, even the Tampa police, the PI or some one from Hell. Man we all don't need all this garbage and BS.
