Well, you all may not like what I have to say, but a motive is a motive. It is not unreasonable to suspect a scam when someone has a strong motive to perpetrate one. Whether it is from being sued for divorce or possibly negligence or wrongful death. I would like PocketFullofTegus to know that I am aware of the danger of getting my eyes chewed out by hedgehogs, so I will be sure to wear goggles when cage cleaning and sleep with my bedroom door locked.

[attachment=5774]Damn you, PocketFullOfTegus! Oh, the irony!

I know what you mean about having a motive, Dubya. I don't want to assassinate someone's character or talk about their personal life when they aren't here to defend themselves. But word is Stacey has them, so no hidden asset theory there.

Ok, Laura. I'll spare him my wrath.

Dubya. You're not British, clearly, but you'd fit right in with your comments. I don't think what you said is wrong, don't think it's right... Don't think it's my business to get involved either or; freedom of speech and all that malarkey.

Waddya know?! only $50,000. And from Ben Siegel Reptiles! Hold out a bit till the divorce and you could probably knock off a couple dozen grand from that price. I'd like a double headed snapping turtle myself. But I only have about $500 to spend. Maybe I can win one in a roach eating contest or something.

It is not common and I think he paid...15K??? Can't remember. It was hatched by Sunshine Serpents. It's priced at 50K because it is not really for sale, but if someone really offered that much, then you would probably sell it, right?? The same thing with Underground's Purple Tiger tegu that was priced for $7500. I asked why he didn't hold it back. He told me that he didn't want to sell it, it was just on display. But if someone was crazy enough to pay that much, then he would sell.

I'm wondering if there is a way to purposely get two headed snakes...like I wonder what gene or defect occurs and why....(insert mad scientist laugh here) .i of course would not want to produce animals that were unable to eat or live full lives...I'm just curious what happens either in the parent snake or egg level that would create such an amazing thing :)

Batgirl1,

First, I would get 2 breeders. Then, I would gut load the feeder animals with whatever people eat in South America (they still spray crops woth DDT). After a few tries you might get lucky. Crazy things happen down there.

It's very sad, really. All the money that their mom would have saved on shoes will have to be spent on hats.

In the end there will be some kind of litigation. The decedent left 2 children, a divorced widow, and no alimony or child support. Any animals worth anything will be changed into cash assets. Not to sure what the benefit of a divorce is or the attempt to hide livestock by claiming a break in, but its quite convenient.

These attornies representing the decedents family , I am sure will gather as much information as they can on what monies can be obtained from a suit. The corp. will become defuct, the principles will probably be suit individually, the insurance company will deny any claim liability becaouse of off store hour entertainment... A real mess.

Very poor decision by Siegel. His business was dwindling, and I guess he thought this kind of after hours advertising would generate some income, backfired. It will be interesteing to see how this develops.
