    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.....

    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....

Inquiry on Larry Honan from NJ [email protected]

How can you fauna posers pass judgment on a person you never had dealings with?

Here we go with No-Balls again.

Your boy-friend was suspended and fined for bypassing a previous suspension.

I’ve purchase replies from Larry since the 80’s and If I had to put a dollar amount on it I would say I’ve spent well over $35,000.

Well then...he shouldnt have had any problem paying the fine and reinstating his old account.

Got-Balls said:
If you would like to reply to my post please include a picture of you sitting in front of you computer, birth certificate, and a copy of you drivers licenses. Now if that sound a bit silly to you “I agree.” So does the initial requests form the person who posted this inquiry.

Sam had a right to make the inquiry and its not very nice your mocking him for it. Thats what the board is here for and the reason it was created. Your statement is very silly and everyone reading it would agree.

Got-Balls said:
My 2 cents...

23 more and you'll have a quarter. Put it in a pay-phone and call someone who cares.

My 2 cents.. John Davis

PS: Attached is a picture of my latest purchase from Larry Honan. Enjoy!


John,

Put yourself in my shoes for a sec. I find unbelievable deal on a lemon pastel breeder male and a male spider, too good to be true actually, and on the ad it says one thing and the phone he says another. What I was referring to is the ad on reptileauction says the lemon pastel comes with paperwork. When I called him he said he didn't get paperwork from the breeder because he bought it from a show.

Then there was the pic of him that I didn't notice until someone pointed it out to me. Keep in mind that this pic was taken of him last year when it wasn't even a year old yet. I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt anyway.

Now if this is a true pic of him breeding last year don't you think hes a little too big for something thats not even a year old?



Here is the email I sent him along with his response. Now if he has all those expensive morphs and have done business with SO many people, then whats the deal with a few references? I think if he was a decent guy and he wanted to complete this sale he would have at least sent me some references. Instead he says, "Like I said I gave you my home address two telephone numbers what more do you want."

You need to realize that anyone ! ANYONE ! can post anything at anytime on FAUNA BOI Half the post I have no clue about and never even seen them its obvious cause I wasnt there to defend my self and you can check that because there was absolutly no responces from me ! I have nothing but excellent feedback on reptilebid / reptileauction and I sent you a list from Fauna classifieds.. I dont mind selling the animals elsewhere its not a problem . Like I said I gave you my home address two telephone numbers what more do you want .. You will never find a problem free proven breeder pastel or females anywhere on the net at that price so its your loss but I understand your concern because there are obviously alot of @##holes out there for instance the ones that I have no clue who they are posting bad things about me .. They dont know me or anything about me and I have no clue who they are .. These are people who have no jobs and sit on fauna day and night looking to start **** with every dick tom and harry ... If you are not " interested then the price of the pastel just went up and it will be reposted and I will sit on it before I sell it .. I really dont need the cash and do have 80 plus eggs hatched and hatching this season.. Take care

The list he was referring two was of 3 people and they were all from 2002. I posted the list somewhere on this thread. Anyway I moved on to other deals so its over and done with.

By the way why all the cracks about jobless people? I have friends who are out of jobs because of massive layoffs or jobs moving overseas and they're one of the hardest working people I know. Not everyone can help getting fired every now and then. Things happen. Have a great weekend guys!

Amazing!

Lawrence's location field in his reptibid auction stated he resides in Washington. His address field as it appeared on Fauna (before he was suspended and his posts went poof) stated his location in New Jersey.

Maybe he was only in Washington to vistit the President to let him in on some "ground floor" breeding projects? Yeah thats it....thats the ticket. The President has a huge ball python collection see. Unfortunately Lawrence was unable to complete the deal being beaten nearly to death by Condoleezza Rice. Apparently she thought Lawrence made a racial remark when the President asked, "Larry, do you have any sweet looking female black backs", and Lawrence replied, "Do you really need another one, Mr. President?".
 
It may be a little too late....1 year later and all. Nevertheless, Larry Honan has great snakes. He really takes good care of them and they're beautiful! Let me know if you transacted with him and how it went.
 
I never went through with the deal with Larry. After him saying he had paperwork and then later saying he never got it, I changed my mine. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Yeah...I guess the more I read on I could tell. Do you have any contact information for him. I am desparately trying to get a hold of him and cannot find him anywhere!!! Any info you could provide me with would be a great help. Thanks.
