    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....

Info Dustin Draper here to answer questions.

The trick (as every lawyer knows) is to ask a bunch of set up questions where one already knows the answer, and have proof of that answer. Asking those types of questions is of great value because if the person lies or trips up on their answers, then you've got him.

But even so, the whole setup doesn't smell right. If he was truly wanting to clear up misconceptions, he would have created a 'press release' type of document with checkable facts and explanations. To simply allow people to ask him questions after all the confusion is like handing a dart to a blindfolded player, who isn't likely to hit the bulls eye because he doesn't even know where the target is.

You stated: Feb 24 2018 "My ex wife was operating my business in a manner that was very questionable. I myself was above board. However she was not exactly doing as she was supposed to do in the business. We had an antique business as well as a small in house reptile business. Her and some partners actions caused me alot of headache and trouble. Personally id like to move forward and not have to deal with the nonsense that currently exists with John Buhs. I however have had the animals that were listed for sale. The shipping and pictures were not my job. Just getting and caring for them were."

Question: Who did the sales while you and Christina were together? Who advertised the animals here on Fauna? Who fielded the calls with customers?

Where did you even get that he stated any of this? Certainly not from this thread, and I have read the entire other thread and he didn’t say it on there either.
 
FYI, there was a LOT of behind the scenes discussion taking place before Dustin Draper was allowed access again to this site. Robert was point man in all that from the beginning.
 
Sorry. I didnt get notified that there were any replies to this thread. And to start answering the questions.
Yes i served in the military. I was 11B and got out an E4 with an RE1 code.
Ive bred snakes periodically over the years.

@Dro It seems that you have alot to say. The problem with the lace monitors situation is that it is very complicated and unless you know the FULL situation with that its pointless to bring it up.

A. Yes

Q. Do i own animals.
Y. Yes

What are you taking about Dustin? There was nothing complicated about your lace monitor scam. I was on to you from the beginning but decided to play along. If I had wired you the money like you requested I’d have been out thousands of dollars. I still have the texts and pictures that you sent me. You are rotten to the core and one of the worst in this hobby. I despise people like you.

You can feel however you want. But there is way more to it than what you realize with the lace monitors which still are yet to be recovered

If you despise me so much then stay off this thread. Youve said your piece. Have a good evening.

Did you actively participate in the scamming of people?

Was it your idea?

How do you know Buhs?
Click to expand...

No it was not my idea. In the very beginning when i was much younger i participated some until I realized just how messed up (and illegal) it was. I myself got scammed and felt just what it was like.

John Buhs is my ex's fiance.

You're unreal. I know way more about the situation than you do since it was my animal that was on loan with your buddy. The "stolen" lace monitors weren't your friends to be stolen. If they ever existed, they weren't his. How do you think I knew you were both full of it?

Let me ask a question. Did you not ask me to wire you $5k for animals that didn't exist? Did you not give me actual wiring instructions?

Did Burl or did Burl not have his babies stolen that he bred?

You guys must be really close considering you can't spell your buddy's name properly. Berle had animals on a breeding loan and half of what he bred did not belong to him. It's interesting that you claim that Berle's hatchling lace monitors were stolen but Berle claims that he's never bred lace monitors?

You didn't answer my question. Did you not send me instructions to wire $5,500 for animals that you did not have?

Dislike isn't a strong enough word. I despise you. You run scams over and over again trying to steal people's hard earned money. You are the lowest of the low.
 
Well Berle as well as another mutual friend claims otherwise. Unless i was lied to about his monitors. Hell i dont even know now at this point.

Then why post on this thread and interact with me? You are trying to provoke me. So please stop with it. There is a point when it becomes harassment.
