• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

hey, I just thought maybe I (or someone else, doesn't matter) should start a thread that could get a little thumbtack to keep it up top and it could list all of the names that have been proven to be scams.  Remember, this is not for negative experiences.  This is for PROVEN con artists that everyone should know about.  This is to benefit everyone by having a "at a glance" list of people to avoid.  Also, please post contact info if available and any alias they may go by.

let the list begin (note: these are not in order of least desirable <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>):

1. Jesse Underhill
   contact info:Jesse Underhill / Jesse Jason/ Jenny Robertson & her husband James/ Lindsey Jones/ JJ's Reptiles/ Awesomeboas/ [email protected] / [email protected]  / [email protected]  / [email protected]
2. Brian Rogers Jr. & Sr.
   contact info:
3. Matthew Martin AKA Barry Riska (our new friend)
   contact info:Real Name: Matthew Martin, aka "Big Squeeze", aka "Wrath's Reptiles"
                    Home Address:
                    7 Tahoe Ln.
                    Winona, MN 55987
                    Phone: (507) 454-1712
                    Email: [email protected], [email protected]

WEBSLAVE:  Please edit this as necessary.  It is not my intention to ruin any persons good name and if I have wrongfully posted any info, please let me know.

well, that's all I can think of right now.  Please add names and info of PROVEN CON ARTISTS ONLY.  NOTE: if someone new comes up, a thorough investigation should be made with a new thread and then once everything is conclusive, their name/info should be posted here.

ps, I was going to include Jopee, but didn't want a lawsuit, someone else can take that task on, LOL!

oh, and if this is deemed to be a bad idea, please delete it.
 
I think Jennifer Curran can be added to this list.

whatever happened to vics herps...
long time no see.
 
Vic has disappeared. I guess that when he hit 18, the cops finally tossed him in prison. I bet that he has lots of new 'friends.' And I dont imagine that he has too many lonely nights at Sing-Sing.

Sincerely,

Gino (Beniquez) from Da Bronx

ps-can we add Joey Smith, Britney Latil and Taron Langover to the list???
 
ahahahaha..lets send vic a bar of soap for the shower= just hope he doesnt drop it.
 
I want to add Jerome Markert in Washington State and Gregg Sneed of Central Indiana to that list.
 
Luckily I have not been scammed as of yet. I just wanted you to know I think it is a good idea. I am fairly new to this hobby and appreciate help like this.

I think this thread is a fine idea, but I'd like to see everyone adding someone to the list to include a link to the original thread concerning that person when possible, as Tim did a few posts above.

Some of the best known scammers go back to the original BOI, and the posts may be lost, but for the others it would help someone just coming to this site to not only have a handy list such as this, but also have quick reference to the information detailing why they should be avoided.
 
No, the original BOI has not been lost.  I have ALL the files, just haven't had a chance to put them up on the server.  I can get the basic BOI up pretty quickly, but the SEARCH function is going to take much more time and effort.

I make a backup of this BOI on a daily basis as well.
 
How about these two clowns?

1. Gubitz, Neil
2. Lawson, Dave

Here it goes again, another thread gone to rumor-mongering, scat-slinging and bolus-bowling.  How about a list of flame-throwers who chronically post other people's names without naming any sources of their information or the court, date and case in which any of these folks were "proven" guilty.

Phil Townes
 
Philip,

Your correct. Here's the thread for Gino's post.

Dave Lawson/Neil Gubitz Drama

The two players conduct on that thread got their names on this list. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

Yet you had a need to add to it.
 
Oh,so now I get it.If you try to shed light on a con-artist and you prove that he has lied then you are a bad guy.Thanks Gino , Now I guess you are going to the archives to get somemore names to post.That is ok,My sales are not showing any signs of slowing so I guess most people do not care what you think.

What about the other 50% of the threads on this page alone?  Of the 26 threads (excluding the first 3 and the floating poll thread) on this page 13 had good things to say about others.

Take this thread for example,

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/cgi-bin....;t=4742

or
The Kerry Swan thread
or
Jeff Ronne thread
or
Herp Hobby Shop thread
or
Bob Clark thread
or
Reptilicus thread
or
Fire at home thread
or
Ryan from the House of Chondros thread
or
Micky Hinkle aka the Lizard King thread
or
Golf Coast Reaptiles thread


How do you respond to them?  And why only respond to the thread stating bad experiences?   Could it be that you wanted to add to </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">another thread gone to rumor-mongering, scat-slinging and bolus-bowling. </td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>


Contrary to your minimal expereince on the BOI, it does a great service to those who are;
A) looking for a good expereince in buying and owning herps
B) good dealers/breeders
C) and those who are new and dont know the real bad guys and shady charcters in the hobby.  

Just read the examples I stated for you.  

It is highly possible that all your years in the legal system dealing with the dregs of society, day in and day out, has tainted your outlook on life.  Not everyone and every post is a murderer in disguise.
