    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.

    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 Robert Nichols. "Chameleons Gone Wild" FB Forum Moderator. Miscreant.

Lol wow "morons" really? U need to calm your tits. Maybe get off the computer and go outside for a nice walk. Grab a beer, relax, why so angry?

Internet gangster. Lol u really need relax man.

Lam Do. This ain't your closed FB Forum. The dynamics here are far different. Forever.

Can you get someone for CGW who can make a coherent thought, and maybe even a reasoned discussion, to help us understand the error of our ways ? Thanks Lam. ;)
 
Wait, We have to show ID here?.. You don't even need ID to go on porno sites.. That seems real sketchy & slightly illegal:( Not safe, not info that should be shared online
 
Hey Tabitha. If any of your 1200 members have ever bought from Jim I 100% guarantee you they will buy again. And for the rest of them who choose not to based on this thread or the other are loosing out. He has some of the best panther chameleon stock that you will ever find in a captive breeding program.
And if anyone believes Robert that Jims chameleons are crosses they are as crazy as him.
Hi craig I bought a young female from jim and it came with a defective tounge
(I was a Newby and I didn't notice til later,I told jim about it and he sent me an email about vitamin A dificiency
I make a fuss. later he advertised a nice looking wc faly. when I opened the box at ups I seen the walking dead of chameleons. now I know what to expect from wc but this guy was Not The same state of health as he looked in the advertisement. we had an agreement over the phone of him replacing him. he insulted my intelligence by saying he must of got stressed with shipping.he ended getting upset with me because I kept telling him how can he sell such a sick animal. so he told me not to contact him for 2 months while these babies he had can grow so he can replace it. he sent me an animal that I had to pay shipping that grew into a faly-banja.I've known personally at latest 3 people that bought from him that came out cross. the reason I'm bringing this up has nothing to do with Nichols because him and I don't talk,I'm bringing this up because jim paints himself to be this honest guy writing bois on other people when he's not an honest person.he's going to reply that I chose to keep the animal, that I wanted to breed him when he distorts the facts.he will answer every call when he's making a buy but when it goes south he won't answer your call no more. I'm a member of CGW and thank you for your time.
 
It doesn't get shared online - the only exception that has been made was the person that pulled his name off an ID found online, and presented that to me. Besides, your ID hasn't been requested, yet; so try sticking with the topic of the thread.
 
Good grief. This makes the Keystone Cops look like the FBI. Are you the latest effort by Chameleons Gone Wild ? Take shots at me Lam. Really good advice would be for you to get away from this thread. Run. In a hurry. If your integrity matters to you.

Jeeezus Christ, the parade of morons coming out of CGW. Can't make this up. <popcorn>

yup anyone who doesn't agree with the self proclaimed king "of crosses" is open to attack and allowed to call people excrement and other things when hes having a mental breakdown because all his begging only brought out the king of scammers evan ? when did he move to Texas he lives in his mommies basement in NY.. I also feel mentioning Evan being a scammer with proof on this board that it goes to his credibility and the type of people who deal with Jim , lol his only customers these days unless ya count the few newbies just looking for a cheap panther

I don't believe that I spoke in such a rude tone, what is with the hostility of the moderators here?
^ a valid question that is on topic.
Moderators have been posting just as much as Chameleon Company and I would like to know why you would speak to your members in such a hostile manner..
 
Who is this guy Robert Rose. U should invite him. Since u use his name often! And aren't u Evan. From buffalo the guy that scammed everyone in many trades. ? Seems like a fitting place. For. Asshole and scammers
yep the same Evan koiboi Phillips the same one who tells you he has an import coming
good talker,but in reality there is no import coming ,he uses that to get stuff from you. he took $from one of my close friends and won't pay it back, he got me into sending him a female panther because in return I was getting some of the import . even called me saying he was on the way to the airport to pick up the import
after that he stopped answering my calls or text.he did that to other people too. he burned people with koi,chameleons ,what's next Evan chickens??
 
Focus, choppers - this isn't about koiboy, so don't waste your time posting about him

yea he should focus on the excrement names more mods? what a joke really evens cred has everything to do with it just as much as I do id suppose. but you wouldn't know that because your listening to jim . lol
 
Wait, We have to show ID here?.. You don't even need ID to go on porno sites.. That seems real sketchy & slightly illegal:( Not safe, not info that should be shared online

If there is reasonable doubt that the name you provided within your profile is actually your REAL full name, then yes, you will be required to provide ID in order to remain an active poster here. I am very sorry to have to inform you that your liking and/or agreeing with that rule was not considered relevant during it's implementation.

Could you please tell me what topic we should be sticking to? Is it about Robert Nichols threatening people (as to which we are still waiting to see evidence of the voicemails or police reports so as not to hang him without a trial)?

Or is it about Robert Rose being the admin of a group that Jim does not approve of?

Or is it about how CGW conducts itself? If so I would request that you all please go see the evidence for yourself prior to making a judgement. I guarantee that you wont see this level of anger or hatred there. At one time there was some drama, but the admins corrected it, and the proof is there.

So what is the topic we are to be discussing? Since an invitation was extended for people from CGW to come here to have a discussion, I would like to make sure I am following the rules, and I would be happy to participate. A comment was made about the inadequate educational level of some members who have posted (which was a cruel thing to say, btw). I have a masters degree in education, so I hope that qualifies me? I would love to discuss things rationally, if I am going to be spoken to without aggression or passive aggressive connotations.
 
Question, if I may, why isn't he banned? I know it's off topic but cmon. I'm just point out the elephant or the scammer in the room.

I'm surprised no one has commented on this question yet. I will.

In general, I have never seen Fauna's moderators or admin ban someone for business transactions that went astray. Usually when someone is banned, it's because they're faking their identity, which is against the FaunaClassifieds rules, or they've accumulated an enormous amount of infractions, usually for swearing from what I've seen. The baseline rules are pretty cut and dry.

If you feel that Mr. Flaherty is misrepresenting the animals he produces and his products, that's something for the Bad Guy thread that exists on him - not discussion in this thread, which is about Robert Nichols. You can't expect Fauna moderators to intervene in every single case of someone being accused of misrepresenting products. They usually do not get involved in that sort of discussion from an administrative point of view. Fauna's staff tries to stay unbiased in that sort of affair, and let people form their own conclusion. That is what makes this forum superior to Facebook groups of a similar ilk, imo.

Well David Echevaria. You should have started a new thread. I told you such several times in the last few years. But since you came here, let me show all how it went down. I have all communications and proof.

You purchased a female in like 2011. 10 days after getting her, you say she is doing great. One week later, you say she has a tongue issue. 17 days after you took possession. My fault ? OK David. It is always someone else's fault with you.

Then you were so distraught ... you bought from me again.

A wild-caught, imported Nosy Faly male. Check around folks, but imports typically have only a live arrival guarantee. Mine was one-day. But David wanted a breeder male, so he took a chance on a WC. He called me the day it arrived, and said it looked weak. So I extended the satisfaction/health guarantee for three days. To give David more time to decide if he wanted to return it.

David chose to keep it, and try to breed it. 8 days after receipt, David had tried to breed it, without success, and then said he wanted his money back. I pointed out that he had let the extended time guarantee expire. Imports are risky, but I had acted more than fairly to mitigate the risk.

The animal perished about 7 weeks later. I told David that while I owed him nothing, that I would make him a deal from the next batch of imported Nosy Faly males. Unfortunately, Madagascar put a moratorium on collection from that Locale before my next shipment, only just lifted this year, 3-4 years later. What I then told David was that I would gift him a 50% Faly male, worth about $200. Heck, Robert Nichols sold his crosses for $300 or more !! I gave it to David for free. I sent it to him. He continued to try to get me to sell him one of my own breeder males, which I told him that I could not spare. I truly had no spares. I apparently sucked so bad that David was still trying to give me his money. 3 months later. He begged me to sell him another.

David Echevaria. All this has been shown to you before. I have the communications. You are a liar.

Agree or disagree, this represents what I do for my customers. Every guarantee is stated in writing. We honor our TOS fully, and often go way beyond, as we did with David. That is why there are no BOI threads about our product and service. 10,000 chameleons sold.

Shauna. You have to read the thread.

1) The transcripts of the calls were posted.

2) The police report number has been provided, and confirmed by the Polk County Sheriff's Office of Records. You can call them tomorrow.

3) Prior independent evidence of Robert Nichols making harassing phone calls to others has also been posted.

That is for starters.

So Shauna. Do you approve of Robert harassing folks ? Making obscene phone calls to the wives of people he had issues with ? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks.

Caffeinecynic, Not to step out of line.. But Fauna's staff is being unnecessarily rude to everyone Except chameleon company. That would be the proper definition of biased.

I'm glad this was asked, because it was about to be addressed. While the MAIN topic is Rob Nichols, some variance is natural; the reason being that discussing/disputing claims is a part of the process.
That means that if one takes issue, or doubts, Jim Flaherty's statements, that can be addressed....however, discussion of his business practices, and people's experiences when purchasing from him actually belong in the thread about him.
Now, other people have been named as participants (ie the admins of the Facebook page). This thread is not about them - but they can be discussed relative to Robert Nichols issues on their page. A claim that a new poster is likely to be Robert Rose is not off topic because it disputes the credibility of that poster IF TRUE...however, that is a sideline topic/discussion that may need to be curbed if it starts taking over.
I'm sure that everybody understands how easy it is for a thread of this nature to spin out of control. It is not our intent to moderate people into a narrowly scripted thread, and deter discussion of issues; but the rules of this site WILL be enforced...and anybody posting is expected to familiarize themselves with, and follow those rules
 
oh here we go again .. jim goin tell everyone his side but everyone else is wrong and ying and mods are helpin this lil ploy and its pathetic

Guess what. Robert Edward Nichols (Diane Nichols on caller ID if he calls you folks). I have the emails. Folks can think what they will, regardless. David has not the proof to substantiate his version of events. I do have such for mine.

Robert. You are doing exactly what I want you to do. This latest gang of Keystone Cops from CGW is doing exactly what I hoped for. I want 1000 lights shined on you all. I want a permanent record here of people, and what they say. It gets better tomorrow too.

Thank you. I mean it.
