After looking at everything you have posted you seem like a cheap parasite. You seem to be dealing in living things like they are objects. You not getting enough from government hand outs?
 
Taking in unwanted reptiles is a hell of a lot different to looking for free reptiles because they're too cheap to spend some money on the animal OR getting it for free and selling it for quite a bit of money a month or two down the track.
 
my young bloke gave me a list of reptiles he wants. I told him that if he can get them, i will build enclosures with his help, and he has to feed/clean them. Once he works out my login details, i wouldnt be surprised if there's a wanted ad by me


also y are they posting in the forsale section, instead of the wanted section......................
 
lol, i do have a job lol and so does my husband. see once again you know nothing but open your mouth
 
I've never given away an animal before but I'd be afraid of the same thing (Finding them for sale later on)
Not that I would be able to give them away. I get way too attatched.
The only reptiles I've adopted in the past are a pygmy bearded dragon and a broad banded sandswimmer. Although the owners provided me with all their background info before I took them home, which was really helpful.
I adopted my tree frog about 6 years ago and she's still going strong too!
 
whats your problem? seriously. if i want to ask for free reptiles because i know there are poeple out there who have no time for their pets, why can't i? with out copping crap off bitter people like you. i rather spend my money on a new enclosure for the pet i take in, or donate it to WIRES and RSPCA.

How noble of you. How about reselling for profit? Ring a bell?
 
i have never sold any of my reptiles, you'd know that if you looked through wat i'v writen. so no it does not ring a bell. as actually i have never sold a reptile in my whole life LOL

So just their off spring? That's fine then.
 
whats your problem, i have never breed any reptile before but hope to one day and some will be given away for free. if you look through everything i have writen on this site i have never sold any reptiles.

I always purchase what i want from certain breeders who specialise in what I'm looking for.
I dont expect to get anything for free from them nor should anyone expect anything for free from me [ though i've given quite a few " cheap " one's to kids :)]
I do however offer lots of free advice on how to look after their new friend and any advice people need in regards to breeding, care etc.
You asking and obtaining free reptiles does'nt hurt me at all, it just annoys me that you could be doing it for more than one motive........
Some people are givers and others takers, it seems to me from reading all your posts in this thread that you can definately take it ! :lol:
 
some people do it for other motives but i don't, if you read all my posts you'd see i have never advertised any reptile for sale.

if people wanna give me a free reptile i will take it but i also give back. to many times i have given free pure breed amstaffs including blues, from my pedegree female and blue male. this year i gave 3 away for free and i sell mine for 1,200 each.

also will be giving away 3 free coastals 2 to a 16 year old and 1 to a 12 year old. who both come from disadvantaged families. i paid for their reptile licence and have taught them how to care for these snakes and they come over and i supervise. i will also be helping them set up their enclosures finacialy. and they will have long term support from me, if they ever need food or vet care i will be paying. you's don't know me at all.

well why not wen people are giving them away.
your welcome to contact people GIVING reptiles away for free but theres a difference ASKING for free reptiles.

Its commendable if the above is true but who exactly are you? you didnt even fill in your surname in your profile (which can just be seen by mods/admin and not other members) as per APS General Rule - 11 "Every member must have a valid, working email address registered on this site.

funny how all the freebie askers are getting very cage defensive. I have taken in unwanteds but I don't advertise i want them. I have also rehomed guinea pigs to good homes for free, I am very selective and have conditions
 
Well why not wen people are giving them away for free.

Because if you can't afford the animal, you can't afford the vet bill. I'm going to have to politely disagree with the notion that supplying disadvantaged people with potentially expensive animals is an act of charity that should be respected.

If you wanted to do something nice for the community, why not donate those toys you're trying to swap for reptiles to a children's charity?
 
lol i have given away many free toys to locale child care centers and locale disadvantaged kids. nothing feels better than a smile on a kids face wen they get something there parents can't afford for them.

i can afford any animal i want but why should i wen people given them to me for free and i can spend the money on a nice new enclosure for them and all the accessaries plus pay my own vet bills.
