    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....

Bad Guy Kimberly Lucas Gorgeousgecko.com con artist!!

Bottom line is Andrew went our of his way to sign his post as "President" to try and scare me out of continuing this post, because he obviously has a personal relationship with Kim. And that is just sad. Someone like that has no business being in any position of power.

I believe that the more discerning readers have been able to connect the dots and we agree that his post was inappropriate to say the least.:thumbsup:
 
wow long thread ....

I do have a question, does anyone know what the crested in question looks like at 2am or 5am for instance ? cresteds changed colors all day depending on temp, cage mates , stress , misting ...etc

I have cresteds that are very colorful at different times of the day and wont look anything like that 4 hours later ... dark , drab etc.

just curious because quite a few of my lighter toned geckos do occasionally look .... well... dark, even my flaming reds will sometimes look real brown ..

Correct.
I think the point about Andrew posting his position has been sufficiently addressed...no need to keep beating that horse.

Disagree. That sort of abuse of power is a pretty big deal. Heading off further criticism sounds like you are protecting him.

But last time we all checked this thread is about kimberly lucas , not usark members.maybe start an other thread on that . i myself will stop derailing this thread.

I work weird hours, so i'll give you my schedule. I wake up at 3 AM for my first job. Home from that at 9AM Start my second job at 10AM home anywhere between noon and six PM In bed normally by 10PM I see him at all hours of the day and he has never once been white.

Exactly what abuse of power? That's how Andrew registered his acct. Just like some folk's might mistake your sub-title under your name, "Facilitator" as an appointed position on the BOI.

True, he is defending Kimberly, what's wrong with that? But abuse of his position?, that's really stretching it Lucille :NoNo: He's certainly not using USARK as "their" opposition to this thread!

Again, that's how he registered his acct. I believe there are rules against registering two accts on Fauna for the same person. You want him to break the rules and register something other than USARK? He can't have a say-so in this thread under his REGISTERD name?

No need to defend yourself, it was stated before many times that a true "Moonglow" would never turn to a more drab olive color and was also stated by the seller "I tried to get him "fired up" but he really stays pretty much this color", from your pics and what you have stated he has been no where near the color of the presale photos and as far as Im concerned that is missleading the customer to make a sale. After all this I truly believe that you are entitled to a full refund with shipping costs on her dime, End of story!

Disagree all you want - but take the discussion someplace else. I'm not heading off criticism, I don't care what people say about him....but this thread is not about him. The point has been made that people don't like that he signed his post President, USARK. If anybody feels the need to continue on that subject - PM him - it is off topic in this thread

I think you should go back through and read his posts..Telling someone to "cease and desist" is somthing you would hear a cop tell to some bank robbers..You ask whats wrong with defending Kimberely??..This person is "in charge" of "trying" to keep herp bans from happening...So he also decides to stand up for scammers??....Uh how bout nnnoooo...!...I would never stand up for a friend who did somthing like rip someone off...Especially if I was "trying" to do good things for the herp community..You putting two and two together yet??..And if you wanna reply,try doing it here to see what sense it makes versus leaving me bad karma...Thats what people do when they know they are not right....

Sorry..I was typin while u posted this..I am done talkin bout this guy...
 
Im just glad the original poster got a solution to the issue at hand. The seller needs to go take a course at the local cc on business ethics and marketing. She wont be in business too much longer with her customer service.
As for Mr Wyatt, he needs to keep his USARK title out of threads such as this. All he's managed to do is put a bad taste in everyones mouth about his organization now. Real smart guy.

James,
First of all, I apologize for saying you were a moron. I MEANT, your post was moronic.

Second, I NEVER left you ANY karma, good or bad. Ask Harold or another Mod if I did. (Help me out here Harold).

I RECEIVED infraction points for posting abt you! I was just speaking my mind.

I do regret calling you a "moron" but I really meant to say your post was "moronic" NOT the same as calling you a moron, "personally", just your post! That's my opinion, and I stand by it.

I was just skimming until I saw Andrew Wyatt's post, so I went back and re-read everything. It's a shame to see him here going to bat for the seller that has just shown her character and lack of integrity on this thread. That's all I'll say about that.

As for the transaction at hand, there are a few points I'd like to make.

1. The OP contacted the seller respectfully and tried to resolve this issue privately before posting here. The seller was unreasonable with regards to his requests.

2. The seller publicly stated that the OP was not the only one interested in the gecko in question, yet acts as though she is being screwed over by refunding the money less shipping. If that's such a concern, why not see about brokering a deal with one of the other interested parties?

3. The seller is clinging to her questionable TOS with such vigor, it is clear that she cares nothing about the animals or customer service. She cares about her "POLICY" and dollar signs, and lacks a moral compass.

Kimberly, do yourself a favor....take the money and run. I hope it was worth it, because I just watched you trash your own reputation for the sake of making some money. Congratulations! Your integrity is officially worth $450. You could have made this right before it ever went public, and not lost a penny. Nice work.
