Need Corns

[vetusvates]

If I were going to buy a Jaguar, I would go to a reputable Jaguar dealer with a plan.
If I were going to buy a volkswagen beetle, I'd still do something very very similar.

I would not ask for two free Jaguars, and presume to set up a brand new seat-of-my-pants dealership across the street from a 50 year old internationally known dealership.

This hobby is no less dignified, in fact quite the contrary, than any other hobby. You'll get much further here by treating folks with dignity. Then will come the reciprocation.

Wow, that's a high volume pet store! My local specialist reptile shop doesn't get 30 people through the doors in a *week* who want Corns.

How come he couldn't sell them four years ago, if the local population is so all-fire keen on them now?

Where I live now there is 2 pet stores in about a 30 mile radius and he has a great assortment or animals fish ect...

He couldnt sell them a couple of years ago because Boas, Spiders,Lizards and frogs sold so well he needed the space for the rest of the reptiles .... He is also very big into fish fresh and salt, not to mention out here land is Very expensive so space is very important!

If this guy has money and owns a petstore he surely has access to wholesalers who would give him a deal on a bunch of corns if he really wanted to breed. Your whole story makes no sense at all.

He used to breed corns, but then didn't because they didn't sell quick enough, and he doesn't have the space.

Now because you have interest he wants to make space for you, give you the food, and supplies because he wants to teach you how to breed? How old are you?

Look kid, obviously you want free corns so you can breed and thats not going to happen. If you are interested in a snake do what everyone else here did and contact a breeder and BUY a corn!! I really don't buy your whole bs story

FIRST OFF I am no kid im married own 2 houses 3 Brand new BMW's(550ci 335xi , X6) have kids and own a computer company That does Very well!

Now i spoke to him about corns we will breed them in his Back room and i asked if he could teach me and he said supply the corns and he would teach me... The end !

I dont care to breed them honeslty im about ready to fly to you and kick u in the face for your stupidity !

 

[tstephe3]

Ohh.. Great so we have a rich prick.. Your asking for free corns and have the money to buy 3 brand new BMW's.. So do us all a favor, just buy a corn and stop trying to get a free one.

If you do own a computer company, I would think you might spell and use proper english.. I have a feeling that you are kind of full of it at the moment.

 

[danielle]

Wow and your sure your an adult...I highly doubt it:laugh01: I'd say white male, 15-23 at most, on mommies computer, with no girlfriend, and possibly serious socialization issues.

You see grown ups with money don't ask people for free anything- their self-sufficient and buy these things for themselves. Parents as you claim to be have grown past behaving like their own children and would never respond to someone in the ways you have. Now if you would like my address to kick me in the face please PM me I would be more than happy to provide it for you. But you better ask money for gas money and if you can have the car for the night first...you wouldn't want to be grounded:dancer:unch:

Seems to me like if this is truly "his" project, as you would have it appear, then he needs to be the one posting here.

Also, the board's gettin' fiesty! But seriously, I got my little girl from a breeder for $20. She's well-behaved, beautiful, and awesome. Corns can be quite reasonable. She's only 3 months old right now, but in another 3 years I would be interested (possibly?) in breeding her.

But I'm going to sit 3 years on that, learn all I can about Corns and snakes in general, and then maybe look at purchasing an adult male. If you've never owned corns before, you should really get one and learn about her/him, their language, their personality, their preferences. That's the smart approach. And if you're willing to shell out a bit more than $20, there's some TRULY spectacular specimens out there who will be your personal friend and pet for life.

And you should learn how to write. I'm 19 and can form a grammatically correct sentence . . .

Dude I'm still waiting for my PM,lol

Lol.. Oh well he ran away..

And just when I was going to jump in and play...darn.

Profiling and Gramar

I logged in to cornsnakes to ask if anyone here is doing any kastanie projects and came accross this thread. Now, I feel compelled to be silly, so bare with
me...

It will soon be illegal to profile poor, ignorant slobs (oops, I did it myself!).

Sadly, there are many engineers in the world who don't know the difference between there, their and they're...why not a computer geek
with a thriving business? He just has to write code, LOL!

Spell checker needs to be much...much better...

I know this is late in the game, but I can't let this slide! If this guy truly did own a BMW (unlikely), he would know that the (5th Generation) 5 Series doesn't come in a coupe (denoted by the "c"), only sedan and touring. In other words, there is no such thing as a BRAND NEW 550ci, nor do I think one ever existed. Perhaps he meant a new 550i? And that's what? 70+ grand, American, easy. :\ Purchasing a few adults from reputable breeders, even just normals, since apparently making a profit isn't a concern, should just be pocket change, am I right?

If I could pay that for a car, let alone three, do you know how many snakes I would have? -sigh-

 

[diamondlil]

Totally unbelievable! Free corns to help someone learn the ropes, I'd say roughly 100% of members here will pass on that opportunity!

Wow Nanci - I didn't know you could give out too much rep, but apparently I have to wait for 24 hours before I'm allowed to do it again. This thread has just given me the biggest smiles since I twigged what was going on, and your post was another one!

The problem with trolls is that if they're led on by sincere-sounding replies, they just can't resist eventually over-egging the pudding. 30 people in a general pet store in less than a day who wanted Corns? That was the thing that finalised it for me. The 2 houses/3 BMWs/begging for free snakes thing, just had me rolling in the aisles. Way to blow your cover!

teh internets like totaly roxx

OP: pwnd.

I will be happy to send you said snakes. Shipping will be $300 and I send them in tubes so they can stretch out.

1. You're not going to get free snakes just because. Period. Even if your story were much more believable. You might find one or two needing new homes on Craigslist, but I'm willing to bet even they have rehoming fees. I have a few special needs corn snakes that I am giving away, but I am giving them away to someone with a great reputation that I know beyond a doubt will take excellent care of them, and not breed them.

2. Nothing you have said so far makes much sense. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you've made it kind of hard to. But even if I did believe you, I still wouldn't give you snakes. Sell, maybe, if you can convince me they will be well taken care of. Give, no.

3. If everything you're saying is true, then it sounds like your local pet store guy gets plenty of traffic. He can order corn snakes wholesale for cheaper than you would be able to buy yourself in most circumstances. If he wants you to "bring them", why don't you offer to give him the money to buy them at his wholesale price? It seems like that would make the most sense. Or at least it would make more sense than anything else you have suggested. Make sure you get proper documentation/paperwork. Again, if everything you're saying is true..
