From the Pangea site rules:
"8. Please do not post inquiries about other breeders and dealers, or discuss your experiences with other breeders and dealers here on the forums. We simply don't have the legal resources to deal with any potential libel claims and lawsuits. If you do want to inquire about or check out any breeders or individuals the Fauna Board of Inquiry is the place to do it."

However, it also says:
"3. Please report any and all questionable activity to me or one of the mods."

So Kita, if nothing else, after you make sure Eli knows about this thread, I'd also think about sending a private message to Matt Parks there so he's aware of it. I don't know if he'll do anything about it (especially if you don't have proof posted) but it might be good for him to be aware of since Eli is a mod there. I know if I was running a forum and one of the mods was scamming people, I would want to know, but I'd also want proof before I took any action.

Kita, Eli is a good guy. I'm sure there is a logical explanation for the delay in shipping. I have purchased gecs from him before in the past. Last one he did ship out late with little communication, But he did send.

Kita,I have just spoken to Eli. He wanted me to let you all know that he will be adressing everyone and resolving everything.

Dude......You sound like a BSer from way back...Or are you Eli?...Your name implies everything.....Your full of (Shiite) Thats a Muslim sect by the way .....

Am I reading this right Kita? You sent the money without him asking for it.

Ha ha yeah that's not what I meant by that. But thanks for the laugh.
Fair enough assumption though.

They would go to yhe locale pound and get puppies and kittens for free by saying they were going to adopt them out but in realality they were selling them on craigs list and the news papers for hundreads on dollars. There was a big stick over this and I believe the state put a ened to it. I have heard that that they are still going to the locale petsmarts and adopting animals out?

LMFAO!!!!
Where do you get this stuff and how many Eli's are there in Sanford??? Really your quiet misinformed. Why don't you look into stories defaming peoples character before you make accusations like that.
I could probablly take legal action against you for that statement.

BadAssHerps.com:



I agree with Kevin. Why would anyone with serious intentions use a business name such as "BadAssHerps.com"?

Possibly because the said person doesn't concern himself with traditional thinking and instead blazes his own trail. Seeing in how I had a successful crested gecko breeding business for 5 years I would imagine it wasn't a bad choice either.

And it's good too because I'm no thief, Although I've been less than timely I'm not some sleazy dog flipping money scamming gecko pimp.

Just a good guy with a crazy life that is bowing out of the reptile biz because he can't be as responsible as he should be.

Ha ha I wish that were more than a joke. I'm a working class guy just like most of us on here.
