FWIW< this guy doesn't live all that far from you.

It's hilarious until it happens to you I guess.

I know where he lives.
Lets just say it wouldn't be the first snake I went and took back for someone.
I have thought about it all day but if I get involved now the other Rob wont have a legal leg to stand on should it have to go that far.

Thomas if you read this I've seen your thread on Fauna. I've heard nothing but good things about the person you complained about. I've also seen the video of that poor snake you received from him. Honestly it looked like she had some head wobble which is common in the Spider gene. Plus your husbandry...looked rather sloppy. And was flipping her around like that necessary? Whatever was wrong with her happened in YOUR care. That's really all there is to say on that matter. I read all Rob's responses to you. They speak volumes of what type of person he is. I would definitely consider doing business with him.

Thomas you're a real piece of work. So glad you decided to purchase another animal other than my firefly, was this the purhase instead??? I feel sorry for Rob, looking at the whole situation this could have very well been me in this situation. Who knows where that could have gone as I am new to the hobby, but on second thought your stories have more holes than swiss cheese. Swallow your pride own up to your own mistakes and deal with the cosequences!!!!!

Now, people have dug up all your info and contacted your professors etc and it could quite possibly ruin everything you have ever worked for!!!!!! You will ALWAYS HAVE THIS DARK MARK on your file now!!! I belive youre on page 2-3 now of google when searching youre name!!! Wonder how long till your on page one. Remember, prespective employers, grad schools etc will search you and you pop up w this crap!!!! No person in thier right mind would ever hire you after this!!!!!

I wish i lived in texas i would buy the snake off you just to know that it will no longer be in your hands any longer, i read only 2 pages and i can see your both and idiot and a lier. If i thought the snake could survive being shipped again i would have it shipped here why don't you just see if someone by you in texas can take the snake off your hands. If you really cared about the snakes well being then you wouldn't be trying to ship it back to the breeder, that is probably one of the most stressful things you could do to the animal. And please don't another snake and if you do maybe you should look into an easier animal to take care off like a gaboon or a bushmaster, don't bother doing research on them they are really easy to take care of just make sure you handle them alot when your alone.

No.

Thomas has some problems he needs to address. I believe he hurt that snake when he tried to tube it, as least that is where the problems seemed to start. He is supercilious and stuck up, in my opinion. And what he did to Rob was despicable. But even in fun, this is not an appropriate answer to his issues. He needs to man up and get better, with people skills and with his snake husbandry.

There is a polite way of telling someone to kill themselves?

Anyway...I'm still a newb to the snake community but what I see here is something that could've been absolutely avoided had the OP just chilled out and owned up to his mistake. I'm sure he's not the first person to have possibly done harm to an animal while intending to help. I feel like if he'd just owned up to that and not tried to cover his behind this would have never gotten so out of hand. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride, own your mistakes, and know when you are wrong and really just need to shut up and listen. OP, I don't know how they do things in the Physics world, but surely someone in the academic world knows better than to make baseless assumptions rather than to listen to the mountain of evidence to the contrary.

That being said I really dislike 'witch hunts' and attempts to screw with his life beyond what's necessary to get the snake out of his care and ensure this never happens again. I've seen these things turn ugly.

I guess my position falls somewhere in the middle of these two vastly different opinions above: I do not wish death on this person, yet feel that since harm was done both to the seller and the critter, perhaps some consequences are appropriate.
