    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 Ty Park I Think We should Reconsider his Rep

Before I purchased him from you, I looked up your ratings on the Faunaclassifieds
BOI and saw that you had an excellent reputation. For that reason, I'm hoping that you
will make me, your customer, happy by accepting my request for a refund.
If you do, which will make this whole situation much easier for me and less upsetting, as
I won't be worried about the tortoise and would rather care for him and cure him rather
than rejecting him, I would see no reason not to give you another excellent rating, because it would cause me to believe that you had no idea this animal was ill when you acquired him or
shipped him to me.

Really? You are baffled?

You could have, for instance, gone to the vet, gotten the paperwork and bill together, and then contacted Ty and asked for what you wished instead of starting a bad guy thread.
 
I think it would be odd if someone made a complaint and never sent confirmation, but being a little patient before an attack would, I think, be reasonable for everyone. While waiting for proof, you could always discuss things professionally and state opinions reasonably.

And yet, here are your very words to Ty when he didn't immediately reimburse you for the cost of the animal (what is it? Bert? Darwin?) with absolutely NO proof from you of the animal's condition. Is this your idea of patient, professional and reasonable?

"Do you think if that if I report on the BOI that you sold me a tortoise with mouth rot, customers will be lining up at your door to buy russian tortoises?"

"You may not think that I have a choice, but you do, get a complaint and a report that you sell sick tortoises on the BOI, and refuse to make it right, or give me my refund and I'll send you documentation of the tortoises illness. THAT is fair, the customer shouldn't be forced to deal with this mess."
(this one is particularly mature and professional - give me my refund and THEN I'll provide proof. Either pay me or I'll tell on you, lol. That from someone who claims to have bred for 10 years?)

"I can only go by your attitude toward me regarding this problem, beginning with your very first e-mail. If you were polite and apologetic, I might believe you when you say you'd treat him. I simply do not trust you and at this point, I'd rather post about the whole situation on the BOI rather than get my money back."

"You cannot even be bothered with an apology. You couldn't be any more arrogant. If you think your reputation isn't worth $90 and an apology, I think people need to know what you think of your customers and how little you know about the animals you're sending out. Why is your ad for the Russians still up, do you keep each one isolated in its own cage. You obviously do not have them vet checked when you recieve them. God."

"Enjoy spending the $90, I'll be at the vet spending God knows what."

And yes, Lucille nailed it. Steps 1, 2 and 3.
 
:iagree: Laura :thumbsup:

Or you could've contacted the seller right away upon discovering the animal you just purchased from him was not healthy, as it was advertised, and see what your options are with the seller when an agreement can't be reached andthen taken the animal to the vet at your cost.

Deb no worries I'm also baffled, yes baffled really, on why you can't submit a report of your experience with a seller on the BOI without taking criticism on how wrong you are. I kinda thought that's what this section was for. Either way I'm glad you and the seller resolved it between yourselves and thank you for submitting your experience and I wish you and Darwin the best of luck in the future.

That's pretty funny. The concept of a place where you can leave criticism about how a person is wrong and in no way receive the same treatment. I was under the belief that anywhere you posted on the Internet was subject to criticism whenever a reply button was present. I also believe this wasn't a report of experience, but more like following through on a threat of extortion.
 
Extortion? lol That's laughable at best. Yep you're right she extorted him big time. How bad do you think this thread really hurt the sellers reputation? That's a heck of a way to extort somebody. :thumbsup: If that's extortion I wish I could get extorted more often.

Anyway you look at it the problem was resolved between them so now it's just beating a dead horse.

You wish people would post negative threads about you on the BOI if you do not give them free animals? I share no part of your masochistic desire.

Anyway I look at it you keep drawing attention to it. Baffling. Baffling, I say!

ex·tor·tion

/ikˈstôrSHən/

Noun
The practice of obtaining something, esp. money, through force or threats.

Synonyms
blackmail - exaction

Laughable? Maybe that's funny to you :shrug01:
 
Too funny, Nickolas and John!

Actually, her flippant post (once again dredging this useless thread to the top) is pretty humorous, given her own 3rd degree legal embarrassment in Homer last year. Gotta love public records :)

It's over and done, Deb. Give it up - even your only supporter (Catfish) let it die.
 
Do you always project your behavior onto others?

I suggest that you all learn to admit when your wrong, otherwise you look small. Actually, you are small.
Laura Bolt, you've gone to my fb page, you've googled me, you've reported on my environmental causes, the jewelry I make, how about my chainsaw bears?, and an incident in Homer. I'm not going to find you looking in my windows, am I?

For Ty's sake, I will say goodbye, if all his "friends", what you claim to be, weren't such idiots, you would have let it go pages ago. My "updates" were at your request. My God, what a waste of time you've all been. And yes, you are drama queens and whiners. You've been nothing but from the beginning.

Ty came out of this looking like the Good Guy he is. You are saying goodbye not for Ty, but because all of us saw through your petty manipulative attempts, and Laura went the extra mile to find information and found some. Even as you walk out the door here you had a choice in choosing what you were going to say, and instead of apologizing for your behavior, you fling names. The title Drama Queen fits you well.

Fortunately your real name is here permanently, and should you try to purchase critters from other dealers in the future, they can read this thread, and choose whether they want to deal with you. I wouldn't.
 
Lol wow y'all really don't know when to give up. It's done, the truth is out, she won't be able to buy again, it's all good now can we please let it die?

Hey Lucille I see you're in Texas you gonna make it to NARBC this weekend? I'd love to meet ya in person if so. It's always cool meeting fellow herpers. :)

Oh and Laura just so ya know I once got a parking ticket and ate a brownie I'm so sorry I should've just said no I'm so ashamed.:bawling: I just figured I'd save ya some time doing your research on me. Lol :thumbsup:
 
You two do a great job of letting it die by continuously bumping the thread and eliciting further response to the same effect.
