I just think that you should have waited to call him out until you had some hard evidence.

Yes I did see the pic of the snake he was trying to sell, and I did not agree with that. It looked too thin to me. But that to me did not prove to me that he was a bad guy.

I do respect you for looking out for me and everyone else in this community. Thank you. I just hope that next time you will get proof before calling someone out.

You know as well as I do that the reptile business is all about reputation, and if someone gets a bad rep then their business could go south. I would just hate for a good guy to get a bad rep just because someone had a hunch that they were a bad guy. That is if the hunch turned out to be false.

I am sorry if I offended you. I honestly did not mean too. I just hope that this does not burn any bridges with us.
I was not offended, but I just wanted to explain where I was coming from and that I don't wildly flame people. Your response more clearly stated your concerns and they are valid to an extent and I respect that. We are cool as far as I am concerned and no burned bridges here.

I do think that it might be best if I just keep my gut instincts and opinions to myself and let things be in the future.

One thing I will say though, is that there are many more people out there producing great quality reptiles than there are scumbag rip off artists. The negative ripple effect from the actions of someone like LAW, are that many small hobbiest breeders( most of us ) are unfairly scrutinized because they don't have a "BIG" name despite the fact that they have put their heart and soul into their animals. That is just one more way that people like LAW hurt this hobby and the people that enjoy it.
