    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

Here Julia M. Here is the actual Facebook conversation between her and I. She comment on a thread where Rick was commenting and made me aware about it. I said if you ever want a frog it's taken care of no charge.

The free frog was for alerting me of the post... This was also over a year ago.

Screen shots attached.


So once again. Please show me where I give members free frogs for posting on this site........ :rolleyes:

I tell people not to comment or post on any of my threads when asked. They are either disregarded or attacked and it makes no difference if they comment or not. Plus, this site is pulling low attendance and other media sites have taken over. The "Nintendo 64" users of the reptile world will still use this site. Facebook, Instagram and other media sites are just way more relevant. This was good when it first started.

Yea he did offer one after I posted. I thought it a bit odd, I think I said something a long the lines of I've never had one, are they hard to care for etc just making conversation I don't think I have the messages anymore I'd have to check. But after a little while it just felt all kinds of wrong and then I saw people posting frogs far to small to be sold yet was selling them, how many frogs were mysteriously dying after being bought etc. I'll check to see if I have the messages. He did send me a private message after I posted that too lol but I never accepted the request, should still be in my others inbox
 
Oh seems he already posted it lol but who offers a free frog for alerting him to something?

I remember hanging out with the owner of the company I worked for at the time at a SF bar back in 2000... he'd just picked up a $1500 bar tab, and one of his co-founders had laughingly reminded him of a football wager debt he still owed him "while he was settling accounts". He peeled off 20 Benjamins from the wad in his pocket and said "thanks for reminding me".

I never once heard him pat himself on the back for it. Heck, he didn't even make the guy send him an invoice for it. Not sure if that applies directly to this thread, but it would seem that guys who are ACTUALLY a big deal don't feel the need to broadcast it. Perhaps they don't feel the need because there is no need.
 
Pending delivery in morning, of a 5X5x5 1LB box with 24 frogs(kind of anxious to see this) from Mike Matson. If all goes well, in my eye Mike will have went above and beyond to make this issue right FOR ME.
To address the Peppermint issue of not staying green. I posted a picture of two frogs; not all of them as stated by Mike. No not all of them turned dark, but there is one that is 100% green and brown (I'll post pics of it tomorrow)
Just some friendly advise for Mike, stop calling your customers haters and assholes... Your sinking your own ship. It's great that you want to make right with everyone you've done wrong. But you also have to act in a professional manner. Swallow some pride and drop the ego and you'll get a lot farther than you think.
 
Yikes a 5x5x5 box? I can barely fit 3 small geckos in a 7x7x7 box and with packing and all its never weighed 1lb it's usually in the 2lb range. How does one fit 24 frogs in a box that small. I'd love to see pics or a video of the unpacking. Even if you don't share it I'd suggest doing an unpacking video just in case.

I give free frogs away all the time. If you cannot keep a pacman frog alive I would hate to see how you keep your other reptiles.

Also, for those that don't know enough about the business and the various levels. I am the breeder. The person who supplies the wholesalers, jobbers, stores and individuals.

Pacman frogs out of the water are nickel to quarter size on avg. Those are the only sizes that I sell them at. Simply, because I do not have them long enough to get them up to the size that you would see in a pet store.

The frogs in a pet store and or show have been out of the breeders hands for over 2-3 weeks. That is plenty of time to get them to half dollar size. Hence, why I am the only breeder in the USA that sells directly to the public. That won't be for long as I am going completely wholesale. No sense in dealing with the headaches.

It's a 12x9x6 box. Label was purchased previous to adding the additional 15 free frogs. So, it will be adjusted and charged to me accordingly when it goes thru the system.

As it turns out I did a video of the packing here myself.. Would you like me to tag you again in Facebook so you can see it or will you cry and report the post like the last time you were tagged???
 
Really Mike? Because I never kept one and have no clue of its care that means my other reptiles must be in bad shape? Who do you think you are? At least I didn't loose hundreds of babies and blame it on an employee. You give them away and so many at a time because they all seem to DIE shortly after arriving. You send more so if some die well at least there's some still alive. New and old threads ring true. You're a horrible person with a horrible attitude. Can't wait till karma bites back.

Do you have proof I reported you for anything? I'd rather not be associated with your name in any way so please don't tag me but I'd love to see where I said I reported you because last time I checked I never once cried and said I reported you for anything. I did take screen shots of your post but I don't remember saying I reported it.

And do you have anything to support that slander?

I lost tadpoles not frogs and yes when I am out of town and an incident happens due to an employees mistakes she was at fault.


I send extras in every shipment over 10 frogs because if for some unfortunate reason one arrives DOA there is already a replacement in the box. If there is no doa then it's a free frog. Saves the headache of replacing and shipping or refunding for 1 animal. I do it because I can. Because I produce them myself but people like yourself wouldn't understand because you don't do this for a business. This is a hobby to you. Many of us that do this for a business are sick and tired of those individuals who start a :censored: storm over one DOA animal in a shipment or something that does weeks or months later. Especially, when we take the brunt of losses and screwed up deals especially on the import level where very few things are replaced.

And as far as tagging you I will do so whenever I feel necessary.

I don't see where it says anything about me reporting anything. Yes my name is there but it's simply quoting what you posted. I'm still waiting to see where it says I reported anything or where I said I reported anything. I posted proof of what I said when you asked me, it's your turn to do the same since you are accusing me of something.

The shoe fits.

Facebook won't give details of who reported what. You are protected from that. Very seldom do my post get reported. Only time they are is when the person being mentioned reports it themselves :thumbsup:
 
Dude, Shut up before you dig your hole any deeper. Your attitude sucks and so does the fact that you're trying to make yourself seem like billy bad a**, when you aren't. You obviously have stock in those frogs, and do good with them, so quit trying to screw yourself further by talking BS in this thread. Geebus, it's not that hard to comprehend. GROW UP!
