I know who you are talking about very well. He seems to like to brag about how he gets snakes that FWC confiscates and proudly sells them as confiscated snakes.
Living here in Fl. I can tell you we got thrown under the bus with the laws here and this clowns attitude doesn't help any. As far as I am concerned he is nothing more than a buttkiss to an agency that sees our hobby as a chance to keep their jobs in a shrinking economy and currently has a reputation for downright hassling keepers.
I have gotten a few animals from him in the past but for the most part his prices are ridiculously high even at the shows. Given the recent attitude I gleen from his adds I am sorry I ever did business with this guy.
He has a nice store and I used to like to stop in there when I went through his town, there is an excellent chinese restaruant next to his store. When I am in his town I will continue to patronize his neighbor but I will never set foot in his store ever again. I have no interest in doing business with someone who profits off the persecution of fellow herpers.
