Reptile & Amphibian Forums

These are the !@#$%!!! that are stirring up the "Reptile Bans" that are sweeping the country.

Here is their postion paper on "Reptiles" They don't want you to keep any animals...check them out. Then look at the rest of the website.

They are like an arm of PETA they don't like anything to do with wildlife...fishing, hunting... We would be good to form partnerships with other companies & organizations that they are after.

By the way: In case you don't know what PETA stands for, try this:

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

Get this. They (API) say:

"Reptiles, including all types of snakes and lizards, pose safety risks to humans as well. Many incidents have been reported of escapes, strangulations, and bites from pet reptiles across the country."

"According to a German-Austrian study, the average lifespan for captive reptiles is 3.9 years for terrapins and tortoises, 2.5 years for lizards, and 3.6 years for snakes. Broader analysis supports the theory that the majority of reptiles do not even survive the first year in captivity."

I took this from my little sisters exitcs research paper for Roosevelt Uiversity.

"Of reptiles born in the wild, only 1% to 7% survive the first year." This goes to show how dedicated and, obviously, knowledgeable private breeders and hobbyists are about keeping their exotics and keeping them healthy"."

A few of the "Big names" that people here trust are the ones helping promote this junk.

Whatch who you trust!!! A couple of the professionals we can trust are BGF & WW to be on our side, but by all means, don't trust all of them! I may not agree with BGF or WW all the time, but I certainly do appreciate their sincere dedication to the hobby & people who keep hots (they are on our side). Watch out for the rest, they will stab you in the back.

Great to hear there are those who are on our side.
From personal experience I'd like to say that I have only positive things to say about Glades Herp Inc. Few years back I dealt with Mr. Mike Stuhlman, and he was more than kind, patienced and helpful throughout the process and after. I still feel indebted for all his help and advice.

However, one person who should not, ever, be trusted is Mr. Hank Molt. He ripped off one of my very best friends for a very large amount of money.
He is nothing but a liar who will take your money, and you can rest assured that you'll never hear from him or see him again.
Personally, it seems to me that all he has is an extensive list of snakes, none of which he is in possession of. His website is simply a lure. Of course, anyone can take a shot to try and prove me wrong.
In my eyes he has tainted himself forever, and I will do my part to let people know what he is really all about.
There will be more about this subject in the future.
In the meantime, I hope everybody gets to enjoy this hobby without interference.

All the best,

P.S. Mr. Molt, if this message ever comes to your attention, you know what I'm talking about, and I challenge you to wrong the rights. Unfortunately, judging by all that I know, you don't have the backbone to be man enough for that.

Naturally I meant 'right the wrongs' in my previous message. Been working around the clock today, so I'm a bit tired and sometimes I mix up words in a foreign language...
Sorry about that folks.
