    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 Mike Matson (Mike's Phat Frogs) sold me a WC snake as CB

Warning: The personally derogatory name calling and similar crap needs to stop like RIGHT NOW. Bannings are about to commence for those who do not heed this warning.
 
So Mike, did you finish paying off the $500 debt you said you were?

Debt is $450.00
I am paying back 500.00

It's a good $10.00 a year interest:) lol


When it becomes your business I will tell you.
One could easily think there is a LOT more bad transactions going on than we are hearing about, and that the bad guy posts here are just the tip of the iceberg.
There is no transparency to reparations promised, and so no way to tell whether the promises are simply empty attempts to take the heat off.

Lucille why don't you look at the photo attached. That will show you how little your efforts in attacking my business works.

Right so one bad guy post a year on avg.... :rofl: I'm such a bad bad bad man.

Tom has been pmd and it is no ones business on here. I'm sure he will make a post when it's paid. Leaving you guys and gals with one less thing to attack me on :thumbsup:

Perhaps those statistics show something not so flattering: That most of your customers are new customers because those who have purchased from you before have either had bad experiences or have read about the bad experiences others have had with you here and will not give you repeat business.
 
The Madagascar hognose was a "farmed import" and she was told so at the show also. There is no documents or evidence supporting her claim that I told her this was a CB snake. My ads found on my Facebook back in April show that I listed them as farmed.

If the snake was a "farmed" import then why aren't there any records of a farm producing these animals in Madagascar?

Some commments

You know I have fought the urge to get involved in matsons ridiculous antics. I have watched him for years try to weasel his way around. I have watched him from his start on getting pacmans to where he is today. The ego is not earned. Calling people noobs or newbies is laughable for someone who is so wet behind the ears still. And his manipulation and behind the scenes choreography of getting people to attack others on his behalf is a joke. You will never have respect from real experienced keepers because you'll never earn it. I have watched you continuously bait people and urge them to take you to court where you will own them. Well Yusuke murai Took YOU to court and one a 3900$ judgement against you. Effectively owning you in court. And now you avoid being served with the next step which will be him placing a Lein on you.you bash him everywhere lying about his frogs. You never had any issues with them until you couldn't come up with the money to pay what you owed. And how is it that his frogs are so bad but yours are so great when the vast majority of your breeding stock came from him? Anyway try to stay out if it but can't anymore because you threw my friend bob under the bus and tried to blame him for things you do wrong because you aren't man enough to take the blame for anything you do. I mean seriously domyou ever not deflect or blame someone else for the things you do? You have a long history of acting stupid and ripping people off. Playing manipulative games and being coy. But the thing that pushed me over the edge was when you posted a ten minute ranting attack on a child on your facebook page. And afterwords incited a cyber bullying frenzy of 200 comments attacking a little girl and calling her names. Cussing at a child and naming her? That's your mature approach to disproving someone's alligations? Over nitrate??? Are you serious? If anyone ever made a video like that about my daughter (especially if she was a minor) there would be HELL TO PAY! You are a bully. You call people keyboard warrior too much. You need to keep your mouth shut and straighten up. You clearly have issues with women mike. I would suggest counseling. Also at the end of your video yoj say you do it for the kids??? Are you crazy? Any parent who watches that video would never let their kid near you at a show unless they were unstable. You talk like you're some veteran in the herp world? Give me a break. You wouldn't be squat if it weren't for Yusuke, bob and Philippe helping you. But you are too irrational egomaniacal and self absorbed. You are always a victim and you throw temper tantrums like a petulant child. You really showed this little girl didn't you? Man you really put this little girl in her place right mike??? And all the minions calling her names and cussing at her? A little girl who you claim to not know the age of even though you stated her age in the first minute of the video?? So folks watch the video read the frenzied comments. And know this little girl may not be able to help herself when she does the things she does to get such an over reaction from a so called grown man. And self proclaimed veteran of herpetoculture. Bullying a child on the Internet. This type of thing causes some kids to commit suicide.

And Mike before you sick your minions on me and respond with your over reactive aggressive smart mouth, think about it. I am fully prepared to deal with anything you or your followers are known for doing when you go after people.
 
And for those who are blocked from this fb page. Just go on a friends page make a new one or use a family members. It's public so unless blocked you can see it. Hopefully Mike has the backbone to leave it up. He might as well because if he takes it down I have it saved as a file and screen shots of the comments. So I'll just post it all here. You crossed the line with me when you attacked a little girl on Facebook and allowed people to joinninnon your bullying. Im a father of 5 and three of my kids are girls. This behavior I won't tolerate.

He could easily delete it you know. I'll have to check if he blocked me, I'll have to check because either I'm blocked for speaking out or he deleted it after you posted the link here.

The video is still up.

It's sad to think that an individual who is a "big name" or "top dog" would treat a young teenager in that manner. While I remember being quite the ignorant person when I was young and had the perception that I knew everything; I also remember people being tolerant, and guiding me to the truth and gaining knowledge in that manner.

Bashing people doesn't spread knowledge, it doesn't do anything to be frank. Instead of making a video of bashing a 16 year old, why not explain why her information is not correct and move on with your day.

Also, the number of adults commenting is just as absurd and not one with a single shred of ethics or morals. Shame on them for joining in the bashing of a teen.
 
Anyone wishing to send statements, screenshots, personal experiences, etc. about Matson please contact me via Fauna email. I realize that he has made it difficult for some to post here.

I had a quick look before work this morning and it was pretty disgusting the way they talked about a child.

Yeah, I agree, kids can be annoying and I really don't have the most patience for their questions and sometimes know-it-all attitudes. However, to brazenly bash and humiliate a child is beyond the pale. The number of adults joining in, both in encouragement and adding their own nasty comments, was shocking.

It takes a mighty big man to declare war on a 16 year old child (though one commenter opposing him said she was closer to 14). His sycophantic worshippers following suit makes them no less despicable. I wonder how many of them he's purchased by giving them free animals?

Were one of my role models in my own hobby to do this, they would lose every shred of respect I had for them. I am also fairly confident they would face far more opposition than support.

I'm sure we'll all hear about how he doesn't care what we think and how this board is filled with losers. You'd think if he hated us so much, he'd stop crawling back here to see what we have to say.
