    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 of Mike's Phat Frog is a scammer !!

The video about Cher will also stay up. Especially, since I have learned within the last week that Cher older than 18 now

Mike lies so much it is difficult to believe anything he says. But truth or lie, this has got to be the grand daddy of all his misogynistic diversions to get the focus off of his own behavior. The implication is clear, that for him, it is perfectly OK to bully women.

Here we are in the new year and Mike Matson of Mike's Phat Frogs has yet to pay any of the $2,250 he promised to pay me for a group of frogs I gave him on his word. It's been over half a year and he has yet to pay any of it. He kept my frogs like he's stolen from other members in this thread. He still conducts business and continues to do shows for his little scraps of cash, even though he claims to be raking in the dough yet he's not man enough to pay me what he owes me on account of me being mad that after 3 extensions spanning over months he hadn't paid me a cent. To be honest I've done a better job raising frogs than he has so I believe some of it is out of jealousy of him killing thousands of poor frogs with his irresponsible behavior which he constantly blames on other people that don't happen to exist. Hopefully one day he has the decency to pay his debts rather than hide behind countless fake accounts on Facebook asking my friends for info on me.

You've been warned he's admitted to stalking women in this thread and threatening them with physical violence. Something to think about when you decide t do business with him.

For those of you new to this thread, it is worth reading.

Seems to be an awfully common theme with fellas these days...

I was on the end of one of Mike's death threats too... Only, I died rofl... I'm a little different type of cat, and I begged him to come on by after he posted my address and pictures of my house from Google images, I'm still here waiting Mikey.

I'm begging for it Pimp, don't pick on women and children, come play with another boy that wants to play with you! I'll even pack that lunch I talked about with you, what's your favorite type of drink, do you like Capri Suns? #RAPIST
 
When you get the chance Mike, fill that out, mail it to that address you have, and I'll get it put in for you! #capiche

Mike,
I don't know why you want to resort to threats … if this thread isn't affecting your business, it should be easy to ignore. It is though, isn't it? If you read what Rami posted, and not blame Jay; you would see that bullying a child/woman is what got you banned from the show. I'm sure that your actions also followed you and affected your relationship with the owner of Sandfire, not Jay.

One day; you will look back on your life and see where your anger and foolish actions have hurt you, not anyone else. It's time to be a man and own your mistakes, not blame other people for the things you caused.

I used to let my anger control me … till I finally saw that it got me nowhere in life. Humility would serve you well.

You are good Melissa!

Great post, and please take the advice MIKEY! Pretty please...

The only reason I say pretty please, is, because one day... you WILL do that in front of the wrong Alpha... and then guess what? #hegonnahurtya
 
So because I don't do what you are trying to make me do in pm's you continue to post :rolleyes:

There are a few bad transactions Lucille. Most have been taken care of. Some never will be and that's how it will remain. I ship over 600 times a year and a few no matter what I do will go bad.

Post about yourself will remain on Facebook and will not be deleted no matter how many times you ask me In pm's. The video about Cher will also stay up. Especially, since I have learned within the last week that Cher older than 18 now and has been using the 15 year old excuse for several years.
Just as everyone is made to provide correct information I think she should have to provide a current id showing her age.

Seeing this, I feel it is necessary to make an updated post on that video and try to bring as many viewers to it as necessary just like those that do it to me on here.

Your attacks on here will not effect me in anyway. I won't give in and let the few of you be happy. I supply 1/3rd of the pacman market here in the USA.

Good luck with your failures in taking me down

Correction... Cher is 15 years old!!! That's a 1 and a 5. 15 years old. She turns 16 this upcoming week.thats right folks 15 years old. She is still in highschool. Her mom still takes her places and picks her up when she needs to go places. Not that it matters what her age is. It doesn't make this behavior right. And if mike matson really made up with her why is the video still up?

The issue is that mike has problems. That's why his girlfriend is cheating on him. That's why he is currently trying to rename himself yet again with a new name and company in Victorville california. He is wanting to open a perstire called high desert reptile so watch out for that folks. Highly successful pacman breeder who's rep is ruined is making a new name to hide behind because this one is shot. and he thinks partnering up with some other reptile show promoter is going to save him? He is planning on promoting someone else's show now in an attempt to blow it up huge since hes banned from the super show haha. Good luck. I feel sorry for the promoter of that show.

She's 15, soon to be 16 Mike. Not over 18 like you claim. Just wanted to point that out so no one believed mikes lies. No matter what age the video wasn't ok but so much worse when it's about a teen not adult.
 
That's an interesting story Julia. You do realize on a blocked call the police are allowed to take the report to the phone company provider to trace where the call came from? I can assure you it wasn't me. What you've said thru these post bothers me little. I hope whomever is bugging you if it is stops


This is long over due and I apologize for that, Ivery meant to post a few times but have just been overwhelmed with other parts of my life, mostly the death of my mother in law. Anyway I've received 2 calls from whom I believe was either mike or one of his minions, the first call was answered by my preteen daughter so I'm not exactly sure what was said word for word but she was able to tell me they said something about posting on fauna (she has no clue what fauna is and asked what that meant) and that they knew where we live and were coming here. I don't think there are words to describe how scared she was, she didn't sleep at all that night and since then has obsessively checked the doors and windows to make sure they are locked. The second call I answered and the person sounded raspy and like they were trying to change their voice, that time the call came minutes after I posted on one of the threads about mike and again the caller told me to stop posting on fauna or they were going to pay me a visit at home. I made a police report about the first call, both times the person blocked their number so I wasn't able to tell the officer exactly who made the call and since it wasn't recorded I had no proof of what was said to my daughter. I call the officer and let him know about the second call but didn't file a report about that one. Just wanted to share what happened, and again sorry it's taken me so long to post this.
 
My girlfriend cheating on me 😂😂 your funny. Jay check your facts. I'm not even sure where that would come in here besides low blows. Considering your size I would bet it's your wife cheating on you. I doubt you have much to offer with that 12 year old kids stature. I can take the low blows Jay and will dish them. Next time you see me go ahead and run your mouth.

I am opening up a pet store. Obviously, I cannot call it mikes phat frogs it's a different business. The one hiding under names is yourself. I don't know what to call you. Jay, Paul? What do you prefer

As far as the other shows. I contribute as a vendor. 4-6 tables for most of them and have a lot of Facebook and Instagram followers so, I share the advertisement.

Jay because you know everything I attached a screen shot of me offering to Cher in pm's to remove the video. She declined and wanted it to stay up.

None of chers family knew she has been up to this type of activity on the Internet and her sister apologized to me for the trouble this has caused. ( that's attached also) she also said her family and herself will take care of Cher. After that I made a post asking all to stop commenting as her family was going to take care of this with Cher.

Cher and I have worked out the differences and her family is going to take care of the situation with Cher. I have nothing else to comment about her. Pic attached. Her involvement online was unkown to the family and it's being taken care of within their household.

As far as Paul Jay sommers...... Best of luck to you.

Lucille, it has been the same 5-6 people on here commenting over this whole video. You have yet to give me an example of bullying that I was apparently doing in the video. It's not my fault that 200+ comments all say the same thing about Cher. I stood up for myself and created a video to disprove her libel.

Why don't you read the comments for yourself. Don't worry I opened my page back up. It won't show me who views it like this site so you can hide in the shadows instead of having to present yourself.

Cher also issued an apology to an extent and we have gotten over our issue between us.


Yeah, they are reading your stuff over there and then because you mention Fauna, coming over here to learn the real truth. Over 93,000 views on this thread alone.
And there are quite a few threads to read...
 
I do find it hilarious that Barry lambert and mike still continue to make threats. I knew I would strike a chord. These two tough guys talk a lot of smack. Surely they must know I can't be intimidated. And Mike when the day comes that you and I see each other make sure you have your trusty restraining order with you. I have dealt with many of your type over the years talk tough when you are safe to do so. Call the police when you get in too deep. Well keep making the threats your just a pathetic human being. Still picking fights with children and senior citizens.

You didnt offer to take down the video free and clear. There were strings attached. You told her to post in fauna and then you would take down the video. She declined. She has more intestinal fortitude in her 15 years than you will have when your 50.
You have got
To be the biggest crybaby on earth. Such a victim. yoi just don't realize how
Much damage you've done to yourself. Anyway it won't matter much longer. Good luck with the pet store you should be hugely successful haha.

You are actually 100% responsible for all comments made on the video you made and posted on facebook. You made the video. You posted the video. It's your fb page.
 
Why is it that mike matson doesn't address the truth about chers age??? Just conveniently avoiding the facts because it doesn't fit his narrative.

If you were a real man, like you claim to be.
You wouldn't need chers permission to take down the video.
If you had any integrity at all you would just take it down yourself.
You claim to be this big tough , top of the food chain God of ceratophryne frogs, that no mortal can take down... Then you yourself bowed to the power of a 15 year old child and was backed into a corner and left no alternative but to make some stupid video. And fire up a bunch of idiots on your facebook page. Threatening her, her family, her mother? Calling all of them names and cussing? Having people follow her around at a show and take pictures of her? And you think people should be afraid if you? Give me a break. It's sad.

If you are such an unstoppable force in the industry why in the world would you be threatened by some 15 year old child. You don't care about fauna and the boi you aren't phased. But your kryptonite is a child. Remember that.
 
Where is the picking fights with senior citizens here? Surely you aren't that old. Maybe 15 years older than me.

No Jay I want you to schedule something for us to meet up. I'm pretty sure ufc gyms would condone some fun to be had with you. I think a release of liability is all they need. You are the keyboard warrior here and the 11 second threatening phone call champ. I want to see you try...... What did you say? " Break every bone in my body" You have my number sweetheart. Call me up and schedule it. You've pissed off a lot of people Jay with getting Inbetween deals that you are not apart of. I wouldn't be shocked if someone gets to you before you see me next.


As far as the post I asked Cher to do. She apologized on my Facebook post and all I asked was that she make the same post on here. That way it is transparent and done on both sides.

Nice screen shot attached for you Jay. By now you should know that I will let you blab and be wrong before I give out all the info.

Same goes with your lizard smuggling out of Mexico to the guy in Missouri then to you. You forget the stories you told me back when we could talk

It would be interesting to pass your phone number off on a Facebook post with the screen shot of you calling them a bunch of idiots and see what they do.

Didn't you say something in one of your post about name calling? How you teach your kids not to do it and it's not nice. Right......

Jay I really don't have any words for you. Call me up and schedule something like you say you will if you have a backbone. Otherwise, you are like the rest of the keyboard warriors. Many have threatened. None have appeared..... I think the keyboard makes you feel that your stature is much larger than it actually is.

Cher and I have solved our issues and everything has been resolved. The only person here carrying it on is yourself. Cher even said she has no control of you and what you say.

With as much as you know. You sure do stalk me well.

I honestly don't think anyone with self worth cares about the BOI. It's where complainers come to complain, right? I'm here to restore some honor. I've owned a business before--customers are not always right--there are many horrible customers out there--the type that complain here. It's like deja-vu.

:rofl: Yeah, no one cares about Fauna BOI, yet it has been the go-to site for the herp community to turn to for freaking years. The best of the best are praised and the worst of the hobby and industry have been outed here for years and years. Yes, customers come here to complain. It's really simple ... outing the bad guy when applicable, duh.

Kinda like Vegas, what comes here stays here; not deleted like other sites.

You've "owned a business before", but no longer own that "business"? Musta been just another FarceBook "business". Sorry, but you come off like someone who could not maintain stock or customer satisfaction.

Yeah, so much for restoring honor.
