    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 Chad Johnson - Chadscresteds

Sooo Broderick, are you also living in the same house now, and do you have any actual receipts from buying all these high end geckos? How much experience do you personally have keeping geckos?

I personally don't believe a word of it.

Smells like tuna to me. You bought all these geckos but don't have $25 to sell on KS?

I hope to no longer be reffered to as being Chad and quite frankly would not like my selling to even be associated with his as I do not feel the practices that have been mention on this BOI that he has been accused of doing are right at all.

Starkist all the way.
 
I really feel bad for the geckos, actually. I'll personally recognize most of the cresties now on any of the sites I'm on- and I'm on a lot of sites LOL At this point, he's going to have to drop his shorts to unload them on someone who doesn't know anything about them... :(

DITTO!!

I'll be watching for those poor geckos!!
 
As a matter of fact he did use to live next door to me, thats how we met. And quite frankly im really getting sick and tired of all of you harassing me. Ive explained the stiuation. And the only common factor between me and Chad are that I bought his geckos. You people have NO right to be harassing me for the mistakes some other guy made.
 
"Harassment" is a pretty serious claim. Have anything to back that up? No one is MAKING you hang out or try to sell your geckos on this forum.

Living next door to someone does not mean that you would share the same ISP.

You haven't answered any of the questions I previously asked...

Do you, by chance, have proof that you are NOT Chad? As you can see, he has caused quite a mess here.

you forgot the common factor of your matching IP address' maybe a mod can sort it all out they are good at digging and finding out if a person created a new account.
 
How exactly am i supposed to prove i am not Chad? huh? And Lauraleellbp, the reason I have not answered any of your questions is that I feel that you have been completely rude and I will not tolerate your smart remarks..

Yes, I do agree that he has caused quite a mess here. But that is HIS problem that you seem to be making mine.

And you keep dodging the fact that you both have the same IP address. Thats something you can't deny.
 
Rude? Hardly. I told you up front I don't believe you, and I told you why.

Your reluctance to provide any proof at all that you are not Chad to me speaks volumes- all the evidence to date is solidly against you.
 
This is not only humorous, but insulting.

I figured I would as I had a few crested geckos myself and wanted some off Chads and I would also be able to sell off some of Chads to possibly gain some profit. He sold me 6 Leachianus Geckos, around 30 crested geckos, and all their caging for what I felt was a very generous price. After keeping the geckos for about 2 to 3 weeks I decided there were much to many for me to handle and I decided to find a way of selling them.

Yeah I would think going from a 'few' animals to 36+ would be a drastic change.



vwgeckos said:
I got hold of Chad and he gave me this website along with a few others and stated that I may have some trouble selling as people could recognize his geckos and may link them to him.
Click to expand...
Honestly people may not have recognized them as easily if you had taken your own photos instead of using the ones chad had. This is all hypothetical, but I would assume someone who just bought 36 geckos, a lap top and a tv would have at least even the crappiest of camera phones. It is surprising to me that the geckos he had wanted to sell previously are the same ones you want to sell now.



vwgeckos said:
I do not really have any other option other that to post the geckos to sell on here. I do not want to pay to post on kingsnake.com and for some reason on the laptop I purchased from Chad,the other website does not work.

Chad was banned from posting on Pangea to my knowledge.
However, if you were living somewhere else than Chad's house you'd be able to create a new account and sell there.
I also find it curious that even though you claim that you already own crested geckos or reptiles in general, that you've never heard of these websites until now or tried to post anywhere else than Pangea/Fauna/Kingsnake. There are other gecko websites y'know. You could have looked from them. You bought THIRTY SIX ANIMALS that I would assume you surely paid at least over $1000 for. If you got the six leachies for $1000 it was a steal.
He 'told' you you'd have problems posting on these sites, why didn't you just sell them at a reptile show? How do you know how to ship animals properly if you're so brand new to online reptile trade?



vwgeckos said:
I hope to get closer with the reptile community here on Faunaclassifieds and am very excited to see some of the geckos that I have purchased are capable of producing.

Thank you for your time,
Broderick

Then you won't have a problem proving that you actually are someone other than Chad. It is convenient that you bought all his animals, want to sell the same ones he wanted to sell, and are using his computer to explain away being banned form some sites/ same IP addresses.
Got a license you can scan and black out the info sans your name and photo?
Do you have a facebook?
 
Broderick, it has been 45 minutes since you asked about proving your identity and we have given you ideas. We see you lurking on the bottom of the thread.


Tuuuuuuuuuna....................

Passport or state issued photo ID would make me happy to see as alternatives in case you do not have your license for some reason (which would remind me of some one we all know here).

Even a school-issued ID card would be a great start if he's a high school or college student. Hell-even my Jr. High issued ID cards, and that was back in the early 70's.
