    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....

With all the flak, I thought I might show a positive about Tribal Reptile

I bought a carpet baby for $70 in September somewhat soon after the 11th and it arrived the next day by airborne. It was my first online purchase and I had no problems. They were helpful on the phone and online with me and I am very paranoid about this sort of thing. The total came out to be $117 with shipping. My only regret is that I did not wait until now when the same carpets are now $40!! Oh, the animal is still alive and in good health eating and growing quite rapidly. When I sent the check I sent it as a package so I could have proof that I sent a check and that only added about $4 to the cost. Worth it to me. If Tribal happens to read this post, then keep it up and great website.
 
Shawn...I realize this is your first post ever, so I won't be that hard on you...BUT...Didn't you read the rules of this board BEFORE you posted??? WHY did you have to start ANOTHER thread on an ALREADY-WORKING post??? Great! You had a good deal with Tim and Chris...you should have put it on the END of the other one!! I HOPE you'll remember this for the next time! (Unless Rich decides to DELETE this post&#33<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> ....Neil
 
I bought three snakes from Tribal Reptile Co a couple of months ago. I had a good experience and have three cool snakes that are doing well. I talked at length to one of the people there and he was polite and informative. I have good things to say about them!
 
Neil, Are you working for Rich now? Why don't you let HIM address the issue if he has a problem with it? Are you going to correct everyone who responds to this post by telling them they should have responded to the original thread also?
I am truly grateful for this site and think it offers the oppurtunity for people in the hobby to share some valuable information, But everywhere I turn on here you are offering up your angry, belligerent and VERY opinionated views on what is right and what is wrong. GROW UP!

The other post was a bad guy post. This is a good guy post. It should not only stay, but is warranted.

Again as I have said, I never purchased or done any kind of buisiness with Tribal, but would not hesitate to in the future. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
 
Hey Jackie....Do you REALLY think I give a darn if you like MY OPINIONS or not??? Here's a quarter...go call someone who gives a XXXX! If you don't like MY opinions...that's YOUR opinion! (and your opinion is wrong, anyway! lol) You think I'm belligerant because I hate it when people can't seem to read SIMPLE RULES??? The ONE THING that REALLY gets to me, is STUPIDITY!! I call it like I see it! I don't care WHO you are! Ya think Rich has the time to read every post in here?....we have to police OURSELVES!! Ya know...like ADULTS??? It sets a "great" example for the young kids out there to know that "supposedly" grown-up people, who want them as customers, can't seem to play the game the way it's supposed to be played! If you want to call my pointing that out, being an a$$...so be it! I can guarantee you, that if I make a mistake...there will be LOADS of folks who are ready, willing and able to jump down my throat (if it's warranted), but...I try to PLAY BY THE RULES!! Hey, if you can't handle criticism...get OUT of the game!! If I can dish it out, I had BETTER know how to TAKE IT! Come on...you want to verbally spar some more?? And YES! IF this WAS my site...I WOULD HAVE deleted the whole thread with an explanation to the writer! Rich, obviously, has his own reasons for leaving this thread on...that's HIS choice! He MIGHT not have even SEEN IT yet??? Whether you think it's belligerance, arrogance, egomania, self-absorption, or suicidal-tendancies!....in THIS case...., as Ritchie plainy states in his "disclaimer"....if you don't like MY opinion....SUE ME!! ....Neil
 
Neil, You mention in your post about young kids looking towards us "grown ups" and being able to follow the rules yet you use subtle spelling such as "a$$" and you don't give a "xxxx". I would think that the majority of kids reading your post understand the meaning behind these symbols. You truly are a man of parodox! True it is better to use alternate spelling instead of the actual word but I firmly believe it shows your double standard way of thinking.

One more thing...since you brought it up....
Yes! You see me ALL OVER this site with my "very opinionated, belligerant" ideas, because I am TRULY TRYING to put some CONSCIENCE and FAIR PLAY into this industry! I mean, geez...look how many industries are PERCEIVED as "dirty": lawyers, politicians, law enforcement, big business, and on and on and on and on....we ALREADY work in an industry where MILLIONS of people are SCARED TO DEATH of these gorgeous creatures....do you want to give them MORE reasons??? I guess my problem (not) is...I HATE HINDSIGHT!! If you can think it through, wearing THE OTHER GUY'S HAT....you can usually come out ahead of the game! All I EVER try to get across o this site is THINK BEFORE YOU DO! ....Neil
 
This has nothing to do with this Thread. But does have to do with scaring people. I had some people over who like to look at snake but are scared of them. So I tell them there is nothing to worry about as I reached in a cage forgeting I ahd just handled some rodents. As they watched an adult Carpet  python latched onto me. LOL Didn't help thier fear any. Just a story nothing more.
 
Frank, I have done the exact same thing, except I had a 8ft burm latch on!! talk about OCH  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I don't own a reptile store, but until recently I sold feeder bugs (mealworms/waxworms and Superworms) to local petstores.  I knew them, so I was allowed to get my own feeders, rats, mice, fish, pinks, whatever.  One Day I had killed myself some med rats for some snakes at home.  I just had the rats laying out on the countertop where I was washing my hands.  Someone said, ew what are they for??  So I (stupid) picked them up, and took them over to the snake area while I proceeded to open the burms cage so I could show this lady it.  It was the sweetest snake there  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Until I put my hand in  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> .  Needless to say, she didn't get any snakes that day.

I didn't think it was too funny then, but in hindsight it was my fault, and a classic Kodak moment seeing that lady freak out   <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> .  Just thought I would share my story too.  

Talk to ya all later !

Neil Gubitz,

You are an opinionated, egotistical, pompous, arrogant fool!!! Keep up the good work. I like your style, man!!!  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Response to whom it may concern on the validity of starting a new post:

T.C. Serpents: The other post was a bad guy post. This is a good guy post.

If I am breaking the rules, then sorry - it seemed to me that this was within the forum rules.
 
Hey man near as I can it is within the rules, Neil, I do think you are going a little over board here, this isnt the 17th thread concening this issue like one we all were involved in, Maybe I am overlooking it but besides these </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">All messages posted here must conform to a basic rule of good taste and moderately good sense.  More detailed rules will be available as time allows, but until that time, just use some common sense when you post your messages in public. You MUST be registered in order to post messages here. FULL NAMES are required for each message you post.
</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'> I didnt see any rules anywhere, I can see having two threads going for one company "good guy" and "bad guy" if the case warrents. it keeps organization, if ya wanna read good things about a company then read the " good guy" thread, wanna root through someones dirty laundry then check out the "bad guy" thread,  

this topic here I believe warrents that, because I as many other have had GREAT dealings with Tribal, I think the other thread concerning them is bull and I believe you think that to, so why should some buyer be forced to read throw all that crap just to find the good guy posts at the end? anyway thats just my thoughts, anyone thinking of buying fromn Tribal do not hesitate, they are great bunch of guys who I have enjoyed doing buisness with throughout time and will definitly do buisness with again, just a couple weeks ago we received some awesome torts from them that are doing great
