So Tempted....

[Skiploder]

Relax..It's pretty clear she was saying she doesn't believe that there were Albino balls for $15/each. Reread the post.

I'm very relaxed...........

Whether she's calling out Neal as dishonest or not - I can't tell from her post - I've re-read it several times. Hence my request for her to clarify.......

.......but.........flipping snakes from such a crappy source is most definitely dishonest. Would you want to be the poor sucker on the receiving end of that deal?

BTW - don't you owe Neal an apology?

I see what people mean when they say our store is the cleanest they've ever seen... I had no idea other places were that bad The place I work at is the only reptile store I've ever been to and I think I'll keep it that way (I'd probably find myself trying to teach those morons how to care for a snake in vein). That's kind of apalling...

The conditions of that store look decent compared to the store I go to in Columbus. In the winter they usually have about 4 or 5 full grown sulcata tortoises in about a 6'x7' enclosure. They also had one that was in a tank that was just about as wide as the tortoise. I asked why there was a full grown RTB in a 1'x3' enclosure and there was a very young retic in an enclosure that was about 6'x4'x3' enclosure, and they said, "because boas like being in small places, and retics need open space"

Its the same story at the images posted on this thread, with the stuck sheds, sheds still sitting in enclosures, feces in the enclosures, multiple snakes/animals in the same enclosure, and extravagant price tags on the animals as well.

The owner also likes to flaunt how he does a great service by having newspaper clippings of him bringing snakes to schools for showings and he also has hand written notes from kids who thank him for doing such a great thing.

I can't wait until I get a car so i don't have to rely on their services.

You're killing me here. She never said she wanted to flip them. What she said (from what I can tell) is that IF there were $15 Albinos, somebody would have snapped them up in a minute, if only to resell them for a huge profit.

Why would I apologize? I called BS on the whole thing and there were no pics to back it up. The place looks like a craphole run by the dregs of society but I didn't see pics of $15 Albino Balls.

If I ever saw two albino balls in even the crappiest dive of a petstore for $15, you can bet MJ's diamond glove I woulda walked outta there with two albinos, even if it was the last $30 I had to my name.

Let's look at this quote together...........are we seeing the same thing?

Anybody in their right mind who knew even a little about ball python morphs, even if they didn't LIKE albinos woulda snapped them two up in a heartbeat for $15 a piece.....they could've resold them superfast for minimally $300 each, and gotten ther money back a millionfold!!!

You're killing me. You don't see the inference in these quotes? Don't bother - I'm done. We both know how hard it is to infer anything from the written word.........

...and I apologize to YOU. Neal has not posted pics of albino balls. Two burms doth not a ball make...............

I guess our interpretation is different. I don't see that she is saying she would have bought them just to resell them. I guess we'll have to wait for Crystal to clear it up.

Whoah whoah whoa.Yes, I'd be happy to clarify.
1st. I said, I'm NOT saying he's dishonest. I simply said i didn't beleive it.
2nd. I said a person who knew even a little about morphs COULD resell them if they were so inclined to do so, IF there were $15 BPs.
3rd. If that DID happen to me, I WOULD have purchased them both.....I have been pining for albinos forever to add to my collection, but have been unable to afford. For $15 a piece in a dive like that, I would have called it a rescue..., and then called the authorities reporting the place.
4th. You are being extremely hostile. Please be a bit less defensive. We are talking about a situation which has not been backed up by photos.
Also, may I ask what YOU would have done if it were you that came across the same situation??????

[seeya205]

I would have bought them and resold them! I know people that would pay me for them!

See Skip? That is the kind of post you should attack and with good reason. The one Crystal made, just a misunderstanding.

[4theSNAKElady]

I NEVER have and NEVER will "flip" animals. I was also just trying to make a point by saying someone COULD.....putting emphasis on the value of the two albinos. Even in the crappiest store, Neal could've bought them and rescued them for his own collection. I mean, think about it....if the place had all its animals confiscated, and then later rehabbed and adopted out, what's the diffference if someone who really wanted to have those two albinos for their own collection bought them first for $15, properly quarantined them, and brought them back up to a good condition to later add to their BP collection?
Would anyone else here on this forum have done the same???? Don't be afraid...come forward..

[americangypsy]

Somebody needs to slap them .The albino burm in a wire cage .If i was you i would report these scumbag wanna be crap store and get them shut down!!!! I would never buy ANYTHING from them ever

No dout I hate stores like this . Where do they think their income comes from. The animals that they treat like crap. Living in their own feces yuk and when you ask questions they look at you like your crazy. They are just animals right They should sell something else , like straws or blenders .
