Has anyone ever heard of Ariel Cudia?

Any information is good. But I gotta say, you present it like it's something personal between you two. I mean, you know his personal life, where he lives and the arrangements for his animals, and even seem to know the same about his so called business partner.

You seem to know an awful lot about them. Care to fill us in on where you fit into it all? Did he snub you, rip you off, fool around with your girlfriend or what?

Something had to bring on the membership and comment. What gives? Any proof you might have is also generally provided with any claims.

You are correct!! I did quite a bit of design work for his instacage and instavine packaging..I stored his animals and cages at my home for a period of time..disregarded all the stories i heard that he did to other people, then became one those stories myself!!!! That was my mistake, I was never paid for my services, I returned all of his animals to him and his former partner Tony..I witnessed lies he told to customers numerous times just to make a sale. an example "FEMALE CRESTEDS ONLY CARRY THE XTREME HARLEQUIN GENE, SO I GUARANTEE THIS BABY IS A FEMALE" , "THAT GECKO IS FROM GRANDAD'S(HIS PRIZE MALE, which isnt that great looking IMO) LINE BECAUSE OF THE STRIPE ACROSS THE HEAD ( MOST OF THEM HAVE THAT)..Those are a miniscule portion of the lies and deception. Dan and Kristine were one of the couples that he lied to " The Chahoua Incident"..thats how we (dK and Us) met...Dan and Kristine obviously learned a lot from Ariel, We allowed them to setup at our table, it was the first time they had ever set up at a show, and they sold one of their babies that was waaayyy too small to a customer..it died days later..dan wouldnt call the customer back for days and then not at all...dan and kristine stopped coming around and shacked back up with ariel...I had to make the deal right and give dans customer a new gecko...ariel is claiming we stold his geckos and cages, honestly i dont care for his cages because the magnets fall apart and the latches fall off, but again thats my opinion..Tony (ariels partner/ former partner) confirmed that all ariel and his geckos were returned...Ariel called the police in my town which has an ordinance against reptiles and told them that i had reptiles to get me in trouble,...luckily i knew of the ordinance and had my geckos housed at a different facility outside of town the whole time i lived here. The reptile industry in this area is too full of drama for me, so I voluntarily left the swap and got rid of all my reptiles....BUT YET Ariel continues to harass me through text messages, facebook, and other sites along with his shadow and apprentice DAN BUDRECKI..I am sure you can find many other people in the industry that share my opinions, and be sure to read entire post above to get a snapshot of his character. IMO Ariel, Dan, and Kristine were gealous of the beautiful animals we were producing and found a way to get us to walk away because they felt threatened.
Oh!! and ps If anyone would like to see the digital designwork that I did for ariel, I would be more than happy to email all of it to you, along with some designs for future cages he planned on producing

I've read the whole thread, from when it started in 2007. I know there are plenty who share your opinion of him, me being one of them.

I just figured since you woke a 2 yr old thread, you might have something to actually contribute.

Looks like I might have been right too.

Sorry you had to get monkey pooh on your hands in order to learn from it. Sometimes it really is better to listen to the masses.

I'm getting a pretty good laugh re-reading this as well. What a pathetic existence in my opinion.... always trying to better yourself by bringing other people down and giving out false information just to make a sale.
While you're at it, if you're bored and want a good laugh, check out the other thread he started trying to bash me as well

You guys should have seen his face when I called him out at the Tinley Park show a couple of years ago when he was trying to sell his cages to T-rex ( whom I was vending with and told them the whole story ahead of time) Me: " Oh hey Sal, or is it Ariel, I can't remember?"
priceless

hey andrew...ariel tells a very interesting version of that story,...last years tinley, he told me to watch him if you came by him,...he said he has this special move that he could rip your throuat out,...he said that if i saw him with your throat in his havd that i need to stop him because he didnt want to go to prison!!!! also said to watch for his signature move of hitting your nose with the palm of his hand to drive your cartilage into your brain...lol....I think he watched a little too much road house with patrick swayze...while he was "mentoring me" he warned me to stay away from you because you would screw me over..was also saying some not so nice things about your (girlfriend/ wife?) anyhowthought you would find that interesting

well, i don't need to say anything this thread will do most of the work.
as for Ariel being our partner, thats news to us. we never worked together. yea we did buy stuff from him, but we got stuff from everyone. u worked with him and us. i think its funny that u say he is such a bad guy when it was u that took all his eggs (it was somewhere around 50) and said that all his female just stoped laying. o and i think it was u that took his brothers camera and said u lost it and then never paid for it, which is b/s when he even said that deal was between u and him not Ariel but thats what u do u f**k people. but lets not forget all the great stuff u say about your so called friends like A.J.(midwest reptiles), Johnny(creepy exotics), and Vickie (Big Fat Gecko). and as for that gecko that we sold that was waaay too small and died days later, yes we did sell a gecko to someone, but it wasn't small we don't sell under a certain size and yes it did die TWO MONTHS LATER which is obviously not because of our doings. and we did talk to the kid, who didn't expect to get anything out of anyone they just had ?'s on why their gecko may have died. then here come jackie and john to the rescue and give the kid a gecko to try and make us look like the bad guys. which you didn't you just made a kid happy because he got a free gecko. if your gonna try and bash us on a sale make sure you have the correct info. as far as studio apartment, well you obviously know nothing about apartments because a studio has no bedrooms we have a one bedroom apartment, so get it straight. we'll even post some pics of our apartment so people can see just how crammed its not. and for the jealousy issue i believe it was you who tried to rip us off for one of our leachies, and i believe it was you that wanted to borrow our chahoua because yours wasn' breeding, and i believe you who always wanted to trade your cresteds for ours. if yours were so great, why were you so eager to get rid of them.And the instacage stuff that u wrote made me wet my pants. John how many of your animals were in insatacages? ALL YOUR GECKOS, and u still have them.And Andrew what ever happen between u and Ariel thats all u guys.I think John is just trying to pull u into this (i.e. the he said what ever about Sarah) so it take some of the light off him. So with that said read the thread i posted at the top and make your assessment.






Thanks, D&K

While very true, I'm not the immature A**hole that started threads about Ariel, he's the one who started them about himself ( here) and about me in the other thread which was obviously him. I never would have brought any of it up to anyone but a few friends, that's all his doing, and he's the only one who can 'undo' it by legitimately apologizing for what he's done, but after 2 years it hasn't happened, and I doubt it ever will. I think the two threads he's posted in here ( this one, and the one I linked to previously) more than show his character, and if someone is close minded enough to not see what kind of true person he is, then they can go ahead and get burned.
I'll tell you what bothers me the absolute most about him.
Scenario ( actually happened).
I sell a couple of healthy geckos to customer with proper care advice:
2 months later I get a call from crying customer worried her gecko is nearly dead. We go through all of the caging etc. and come to find out she isn't feeding it what I told her to, isn't spraying her geckos, and has put an adult female ( purchased from Ariel and housed together on his advice) in with a couple of 4 month old crested geckos. ( The female could have swallowed one of the smaller ones)
Luckily she called me before her gecko was dead, and I was able to suggest a few things to bring the gecko off of it's death bed.
That, as well as several of the obviously bogus comments about sexing crested geckos and how to house them etc. It all just leaves me knowing there are going to be problems with the customers that purchase his animals, and it makes me sick.
Oh, and once again, just read this thread and you'll see how much of an idiot he is. No need to defend him in any kind of way on such a thread, no matter what you say will make him, or yourself look any better. Defending yourself is fine, but I don't think I'd be putting up for someone who has tried to pull the dishonest crap he has.

First off: oldebully1, how can you bash someone about creating other usernames when other people have proven that you have done the same thing.

Second: What god given right do you have that makes you decide what size living conditions you should have to properly care for geckos. I believe the instacage was designed to stack and was designed to accommodate a small area because i own a few of my own. And what gives you the right to butt into someone else's financial situation and judge them bases upon the size of there home. If the animals are properly cared for and many people say they are healthy who cares what size of house that they come from.
Also if you knew that ordinances in you town didn't allow you to keep reptiles, why the f**k would you offer to take care of someone else's collection??? Seems a bit unreasonable.
And if you designed this instacage why would you honestly not care for them because the magnets and latches fall of.
Just because you were unsuccessful in prior years in the snake business and too many people bashed you down on these forums, doesn't mean you make up lies and bash someone else. come on OLDEBULLY lets grow up and not act like we are 12.
