    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....

Why does it matter?

It goes towards credibility.... remember... you came on here to defend someone that showed their true colors with multiple sellers. If your story has more holes in it than swiss cheese then in the eyes of some members you may not be any better than Nick.

On the BOI its all about the facts. Lie's will eventually be caught and exposed.

Best of luck with your critters :thumbsup:
 
The only holes in my "story" were the ones that you guys created by seeing what you wanted to see. It is understandable though. The breakneck speed of this bandwagon must make it difficult to simply read an alternate point of view with an open mind and then move on.
 
Why does it matter? Are you seriously flipping out because I didn't feel like getting up to count exactly how many hatchlings I had when I wrote that first post? I notice that you conveniently didn't bold and underline the word "about". You know, that word that means "approximately" when used in that context?

And I didn't bring 16 hatchlings home that day, I brought 18 home, which is why in my second post I said "16 others". In addition to those, since you're so curious about my recent purchases, I also picked up two adult females and a male pastel.

There aren't 18 pictures in my thread on bp.net because I was just sharing my favorites. Is that okay? Or is there some higher power I'm not aware of that dictates which photos I'm allowed to post on other forums?

I changed this from private to public, but I don't know if the link works or not. The only missing hatchling picture is of my het pied female. The five pictures of the axanthic in my hand are the same female as the one in the tub, so please don't count those when you're out doing more pointless detective work.

As for what I still have on hold I'll again say "15 or so", including the 2 pieds and 2 male axanthics. Any explanation beyond that is really none of your business, nor does it pertain to this thread.

First of all I'm not "flipping out". Just expecting that everything you say should also be credible and straight since you're defending Nick who's proven himself to be the exact opposite to others as he's been to you.


Adam; I just hope you don't get anymore "basket cases.." I really do.. That's sad....

Baskets cases?? Name calling huh. That's real adult. :NoNo:

Exactly. ^ This.
 
WTH?? Name calling??

Calling people "Basket cases" is name calling is it not?????

I think he was talking about Nick or my snakes. I'm not sure.

I really hope so. Honestly the way it read, since it was after your post about my "flipping out" indicated that's what his reference was.

Can't fault me for that one Tom.

Back to our regularly schedule BOI topic since it's seems things are going off topic. :laugh:
 
Christine; I was absolutely not referring to you my friend... I meant that I sincerely hoped he doesn't get another snake that is subpar; that was all... Your posts I'm with!! Lol
 
The only holes in my "story" were the ones that you guys created by seeing what you wanted to see. It is understandable though. The breakneck speed of this bandwagon must make it difficult to simply read an alternate point of view with an open mind and then move on.

The holes were created by you... .not us. Others saw numbers that didn't add up and they called you on it. If that makes it a bandwagon then so be it. Im glad as a buyer you had a good experience with him... .but I think your being closed minded to how HE treated his potential sellers.

Honestly... would you want to be treated the way he did to Robert or Christine (may have my female memeber wrong)?

It's been said time and time again here. The quality of a person shows from how they handle the bad things that pop up. Whether they are a buyer or a seller... it's how they handle the situation.

From what I have seen posted on Nick as a buyer... he handled things horribly.

He called me a Rocket Scientist... I'm standin' taller today!! lol....

My numbers were fine, and I've already explained what shouldn't have needed to be explained in the first place if not for the lack of reading comprehension. Again, some of you are just seeing what you want to see.

Please quote me where I hinted in any way that I was disagreeing with the accusations? All I did by posting here initially was to offer up my own experience because people were claiming that someone like me (who had a good experience) didn't exist. I've already said that I can't speak for him as a buyer, because our transactions went the other way.

God forbid that someone offers up some info that might briefly interrupt the Fauna lynch mob. Info that was asked for, no less. You guys are something else.

It was me that originally posted this particular thread about my horrible experience with him, not Christine :)

My apologies Tom. Hugs.

Was just about to post that and say it was you. ;)
 
Why are people putting this guy Adam through the ringer??? He got snakes from Nick and was happy with what he got... End of story in my book... The BOI is great but I think some threads seem to go way off topic and sometimes even parties that were not part of the transaction get mudded up in the crap for no reason...

As far as Nick goes, I would not do any type of business with the guy after reading the BOI threads...

I just think it is wrong that someone who has had a good experience with him should be beat down for no reason...
 
Its only fair that you see some of Nick's (colorado) morals, ethics, and business decisions. To read the whole thread http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=243987

Below is only a snippet of what you will find in that thread. Nick has proved that he doesn't have the ability to tell the truth and has no problem selling off a sick snake to an unsuspecting buyer.

~I work to the highest levels of care, and I am honest.
~I do NOT keep or sell sick snakes
~I do not, will not, and or would not knowing sell an ill snake.

I do not purposely sell sick snakes.

People, concerning any person under this roof, you'd NEVER have to worry about us knowingly or purposely sending you a sick snake, never! We're not of line of thinking, we do not need the money bad enough to purposely hurt others, it's NOT who we are!


And yet here is the email that he sent to his seller in regards to a supposedly sick snake. There was never any proof posted by Nick. The emails were actually posted by the seller.

Kev, Just saw a partial refund.......thoughtful.
What I will try to do over the next few days is try to sell this guy. If he sells for more than the balance I have invested, I will send you any overage. If he does not sell or if he remains ill/dies, I will let ya know. I increased temps and will monitor daily.
You're a Pro, all the way!
Thanks-
Nick

~... I do not keep sick snakes.

For once he's telling the truth. He tries to sell them off as quick as possible. He even admits it to his seller in the above email.




I stand by my the thigs I've said.
I stand by the way I do business and treat others.

And this is what he is standing behind.

So do you really want to take a chance that you will be his next victim of receiving a sick snake that may be so ill that he thinks it may die?
