    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 Mike Matson of Mike's Phat Frog is a scammer !!

I just want to mention that Mike and I both calmed down and worked this out.

Right here in this very thread there was another person who had an extremely negative view of Mike and all of a sudden backtracked and recanted.
I'm thinking there is a lot going on behind the scenes.

I'm thinking that perhaps post 424, where he threatens to have his attorney send 'fun stuff' might account for what is happening to folks who have detailed terrible behavior on Mike's part and suddenly have a change of heart.
 
I had a negative dealing with Mike as well. Luckily I did not lose animals or money like some people on this thread because I killed the deal before it could get done. He wanted to buy an uncommon frog from me and demanded that I send it during record winter low temperatures on the east coast. When I refused and wanted to wait for warmer temperatures, he showed his true self (big baby with a sense of entitlement).
He became very condescending and started playing internet tough guy (any of you who know me or have seen me face to face know that I'm not exactly the kind of person you mouth off to) as he cursed at me and bragged about sending tropical frogs in 20 degree weather. I told him that I no longer wanted his business, refunded his money and eventually had to block him because he couldn't let it go. He then had a friend try and buy the same frog from me several days later until I found out his scam, refunded the friend, called him out, and then blocked the friend as well. I would avoid this guy at all costs. He is not worth the headache.
 
Boy there are a few stories with no actual post of any conversations between mike and who ever else.

Let's see some screen shots. Pictures are worth 1000 words. Let's see if the stories match up....

Why don't you give him a call Tom. His number is everywhere on the internet. 714-782-8421. Doesn't seem like he is in a hiding mode. I know mike and I know the story you told is different from what went on exactly. Also, you have any screen shots or proof of the email transactions between you and mike?

Evan, if you and Mike are now good friends, maybe you can get back my $500.00 I paid him for a female leopard tortoise. When he sold me the tortoise, he used a fake account, under his then girlfriend's name (Francine) to hide his identity. If you look at my previous posts, When I caught up with him, he ran away like an escaped feeder rat to his waiting getaway car. He is truly a class act.

Maybe it's because those were not views but dishonest statements with an agenda to take down a business. Seems there are a few stalkers on here still from the 2010 postings of mike. I do know that a few people on here will be searched and served also for their post.

Mike has a very large following on Facebook and Instagram. So the 6-7 bad views of him on here doesn't scratch the surface of how many good transactions that have happened. His frogs are featured on just about every large company page. What have all of you done? Just curious.

Lucille should have an award for the 12,700 plus post that she has had on fauna. Can't imagine how much time you have wasted on here posting on others reviews and not having any actual transactions with them. Seems you are bored and just like to stir the pot.

I'm sure I will be banned for posting about mike but the fact is this thread will not accomplish much. It's normal for a company to have a handful of bad apple transactions compared to the thousands of sales.

Google any big name and the bad transactions will come up....

You guys should really find something better to do with your time

Not sure what giant post you have been reading but I have seen more than enough evidence on here to make a decision on who to trust.

It's the transactions that go wrong, not the good transactions, that show the real stuff a seller is made of. It is easy to behave nicely when everything is going one's way.

BTW, maybe an IP check might be good here.

Yes check the IP here. I am in the same city as mike.

So you must think Walmart,target and every large store is terrible.

Lucille I would be worried if I were you... You may be posting an apology post here soon also. I do know lisa is on the list. Ricks hiding like a coward or he would have had one long ago.

Have a good day folks.

Does Mike have a drug problem or some other addiction? If hes such a big shot and does so many sales it makes no sense that he doesn't have the money to pay his debts.
 
The user going by the username of Frogqueen has information connected to Mike Matson's girlfriend.

Cheyenne Schrank. Registered here as Cheyenne Davis.

Cheyenne, you will have a PM shortly.

Whether one interprets this to mean Cheyenne is posting as Cheyenne or perhaps Mike might be posting as Cheyenne is a decision a person makes for oneself.

I do not know for a fact that he is using her account or if she is defending him, but if he is using her account in this manner, the use of "coward" becomes so densely hypocritical that it has its own event horizon.
 
Mike really needs rehab and anger management. Cheyenne must be just as crazy as he is if she is going to come here and defend mike! How either of them think anyone here is afraid of them is mind boggling! She's been added to my list of people to avoid at all costs! I'm going to be sure to spread the link to this thread everywhere I can so others can be sure to avoid mike and anyone that defends him as well.
