    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

watch out for CHAMELEON DEPOT!!

Yep someone is sure is using someone’s pics. Have you notified both parties of this thread so they can come here and explain what is going on or claim the originals?
 
Yea, I talked to the guy myself and so did Mike. He told me the site was designed by someome else and that it would be taken care of. We will see what happens?? Apparently he says he had NO idea the pics belong to other breeders. :shrug01:

--- That sounds like a load of BS to me.... How would he not know what pictures are on his site....

PS: The picture of the pygmy looks like its from reptile depot... That Sambava looks like its from BlueBeast...

Thanks Erik
 
Maybe the reason he didn't know that the pictures belonged to someone else is because it was around "420" time when he uploaded them. Or maybe he just had one too many "420" break times for us to expect anything better.

Oh Oh, He is now a proven Liar and Thief? This is not good.
Mr. Shildt,
You really should consider explaining here, your rep and trustability just took a major nose dive and regardless of what some may thing the word do spread.
 
The kids a pothead. He designed the website. He downloaded those pics off the net and uploaded them to use on his website as example of what he had in stock and available for sale. Did I mention he's a pothead? I've come across many smart potheads but this Scotty "The Potty" is totally burnt out dumb. Ask him where he put his joint down and watch him spin in circles. The kid is burnt.

LMAO ... what gave it away? The "420" on his email address or the extensive collection of vintage High Times issues he has for sale on EBay?

Pothead or not, he's still a liar and trying to pass off other's photos/livestock as his own.

LOL. Pay no mind to me......I'm just a bit pissy because I have no connections in Florida right now. I'm about ready to smoke palm tree leaves.

I suspect this kid knew what he is doing, but just for the record, I would like to explain how that can happen. My explanation is NOT to argue in defense of this guy - as I think he knew exactly what he was doing.

But here is how it could happen.

I hire Web Designer Shmoe to do my website.
Shmoe uses images from stock photography companies - and steals some from the net. I pay the stock photography bill, and think everything on my site is used with permission.

That's how it can happen - and if you have seem some of the insane prices for stock photography (especially the rights managed images which are usually better), you can understand why a young web designer trying to make money might be tempted to steal images so that he can do the site at his promised price and still make a profit.

LOL.....as long as they aren't previously worn hemp sweat socks....thanks so much for the heads up Laura! Did you notice if he had any hemp thongs? I've been looking for one of those in a size 3/4. In Tie-Dye! They burn so evenly.

Hmmmm....yes it could be. But....there is no website designers name at the bottom of the page. Hence he is completely responsible for the content of his website.

I agree that what you indicate can happen, not all of use are blessed with computer wiz/geeks realily available.
Sadly in this case he is the web master of his site and has to have known what he was doing.
What I wonder now is if he even has a cham to sell or if he is just a thief waiting for a sucker.

Even if designer Shmoe is hired to do my website, Schmoe is going to ask for pics, especially given it's an animal retail site. I highly doubt Designer Schmoe is going to plagerize copyrighted photos or use stock photographgy without noting same on the site, or at least a disclaimer that the animals in the photos are not the actual animals for sale. And as Chuck pointed out, there is no credit given to anyone for the site design or maintenance. Joe Schmoe would certainly give himself credit, if for no other reason than to drum up more business. Stranger things have happened of course, but I think just as we all agrees, this guy did his own site and stole the pics.

Gee, I didn't notice if he had any footwear or not. LOL.
Those are the thongs you mean, right? Tie-dye is far out for sure, but you have to watch out for that #2 dye. I hear it tends to make them harsh.

I bought my Chameleon at Chameleon depot and got great service and a great Chameleon. They were very friendly and helped me alot. There are a million pics of Chameleons on the web. Why would you be upset. You should be proud of your chameleon.

Using another breeder’s pics without permission is considered theft. Using them to represent the animals Scott is selling is fraud. A breeder should be proud to have their pic used to misrepresent someone else’s animal? What are YOU smoking?
