    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....

Actually, I wouldn't even credit that with sounding like someone who is 17, more less a professional businessman. My 14 year old son handles himself much more maturely.

You've got a LOT of growing up to do, kiddo.
 
Out Of Business

Hi all,

FYI

I know Brent and his mom pretty well. It's actually his mom's business, but she lets' him do a bunch of the reptile transactions. They are out of business, or at least nearly so, as of this week. As far as Brent goes, I thought he was more like 15, but not 100% certain.
 
Out Of Business

Locally, I'm hearing a couple of things have happened to them. This is all hearsay so take it for what it's worth.

1) Animal welfare found a bunch of puppies in filth and ordered them to clean-up, which they could not do in the alotted timeframe.

2) Brent got screwed on a very large reptile deal and it consumed the operating cash of the business.

Maybe both of these happened?

I actually liked these guys, but they clearly needed someone with more experience than Brent to make decisions about purchasing and selling reptiles. His mom gave him a pretty free hand and I felt like he was eventually going to screw up because he seemed more interested in talking about what he knew instead of listening to what others knew. I also want to say that I'm fairly certain that Brent has never bred a single reptile in his life. It sounded as though he implied he had, and I wish he would be more forthright about this.

btw, Hi everyone. Sorry I've been away for so long.....

ok wait a sec Jon who are you and how do I know you if you know me so well? That name does not ring a bell at all, as of the puppy thing that is incorrect I am pretty sure that is something the pet shop across the street made up but ironicly one of their poodles had parvo also people are probably getting us confused with awsome pets the petstore across the street because like I said they have had puppies with parvo and also recently are haveing a problem with their birds that all have mites. And we have never had a problem with animal welfare, also second as of the reptile thing that also is incorrect the reason why we are closeing is because we just don't want to do the public retail biz anymore because people become a pain and more than have the people who come in just think its a petting zoo or a zoo and just look around with there kids and never buy anything so we have decieded to just get a warehouse and keep breeding reptiles their, and just sell online. Plus all the hours having to be open is tirring. So now you know the truth once agian, if you don't beleive me fine.

Is this Brents mother replying here?
I have to believe it is,seeing as the grammer and punctuation is virtually flawless.
 
Uh, I wouldn't say the punctuation or grammar are really even close to flawless. A little better than usual....but not still not very good. The spelling still leaves a lot to be desired as well.

Maybe Brent just is a better typist when he's not in the midst of a tantrum.

Uh,uh... The word virtually was used,look closer at that post.The spelling is correct at the beginning of the post and then toward the end there are a few words that have been misspelled.
The post has the appearance of being well thought out as if a adult had written it.

Funny , I think a immature child acts the same in or out of a tantrum,immature.
And from reading all of the posts " he " wrote,a "better typist" hes not.

I don't dee an apology anywhere in there. If you really wanted to apologize, you could apologize for trying to pull a fast one with those tegus and the ball python.
 
Brent, I see that you did apologize in the other thread..thank you.

All I want is for you to act like the adult you want to be treated as, and do things the right (honest) way. And take responsibility for your "mistakes".
 
Jim, I think these 2 threads running together are mixing people up. He did apologize in the other one.
 
It is often sad to see a business close...

however, in this case, I feel better about NOT having them around then having them in business. IF indeed they are closing, and still selling that normal looking mess of a Ball as an Axanthic, what good would the guarantee be? Like I said earlier, if there is no store left to honor that guarantee, what good is it? Seems on the surface, they are trying to get some quick cash for a normal, with a worthless guarantee if they are long gone by the time someone proves the snake normal.

Who is signing the guarantee Brent? If it's you then it's worthless anyway. No court would hold you responsible for anything that you signed before your eighteenth birthday.
 
Jim you are now just taking this to far and being ignorant with this subject now, It would never go to court I would just give them a refund because they would have a signed contract saying just that so if the axanthic did not produce axanthics, then with that signed contract there would be no way I could win anyways, plus the only reason I am giving a gurantee on him is because a breeder freind of mine is giving me a gurantee on him. Now just drop this subject on the gurantee because we have been over this a dozen times.
 
So in other words the "guarantee" would be the word of a minor? The reason we have been "over this a dozen times" is that you still do not get it. And given your deceitful practice who would believe that you "would just give them a refund"? No matter how many times that is hammered into your head it does not seem to stick.
 
In Washington State,

a good friend of mine got a pre-approved credit card application for $10K. He had no credit history, no job, still lived with his parents, and the kicker was, he was still 17 years old. He could have theoretically gotten the CC, and charged a $10K car and never made a payment. The CC company would have eventually gotten the car, I assume, but he would not have been liable, being a minor. That is the point, as a minor, you are not responsible for any contract you sign, or business you conduct and default on. It is kind of like in California, if you hit someone in their car, from behind, you are automatically at fault, no matter whose "fault" it was, because the assumtion is that the car in back should have stayed back a distance to avoid any accident.
