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.....

    =====================


    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.

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.

This makes me laugh. Here are a few texts from when you were selling under the name Brad Hutchinson. It’s your lace monitor ad. The funniest part of the whole ad was the fact that you posted a picture of “your” hatching lace monitors on a newspaper from Australia. You don’t see many Australian newspapers in Alabama but you do see a lot of Australia newspaper in Australia which happens to be where lace monitors are from. Hmmm. I knew this was a scam so I acted like an interested customer just to have some fun and to protect people from you. Even though you’re being given a chance right now to come clean you still claim that you weren’t really trying to scam me and didn’t take my money.

Not sure that I ever posted these.
 
Here’s the first text.

As you can see he had every intention of taking my money. I’ve got dozens of additional texts where I call him out and they’re comical.

I only met Casey 1 time. Thats when i caught him doing what he was charged with. So no. Im not a bad guy. I stopped him from molesting a 5 month old baby.

Alot of the snakes that were sold i had. Most were not shipped. That is why i myself ended up having to either go to jail or refund individuals.

In red is why I kept asking about non-existent animals, specifically the first word, while misspelled (a lot) is very telling.

Dustin: Are you the author / creator behind the "John Buhs" account?


Heads up: I already know the answer to this question. My only concern is if you are going to be truthful or not about it.
Wrong answer = banned
No answer = banned
Half answer = banned

No. I didnt create the John Buhs account. He is a different person than me.
Now you are for some reason trying to bully me online for no damn reason when im answering questions. Moderator or not its uncalled for.
 
My point had nothing to do with the bells lace monitor ad or the situation in general I simply said that the person who posted the bells lace monitor ad IS the exact same person who wrote the mangshan viper ad under the name John buhs. I'm not here to judge you for your past I seen something suspicious and I said something about it. The reason I asked you to prove you were in the military is because in a past thread you talked about how you ran into a lot of personal problems that caused you to do things you regret due to something related to your military service and if that's the truth people are going to be a lot more understanding and more willing to listen to you because the way our country treats veterans who have served when they come back home is deplorable. If there's anyone on earth who deserves a second chance it's a veteran and I gaurantee people including myself would be a lot more understanding of your past if they knew for certain that you did serve our country.

If you truly want to know what was up i didnt give a shit about what was going on because i gave up on life in general. It was a very bad few years of my life and fell into a depression filled with alcohol and suicide attempts. Im not saying this for sympathy but people keep prying into my personal life. Judge all you want. But ive overcame it.
 
Well I went and got both my DD-214 and SS card probably 3 or 4 months after the incident but I'm sure his thinking is a lot different than mine. I was more concerned about feeding my family and keeping roof over my head and I'm thinking he was more worried about partying and scamming. I work in a Police/Jail dept and I see these types daily. They only think about the moment and not the future.

Wrong. Nice input but I already have copies. They are not in my possession at the moment due to not having all of my belongings at my home yet. So there are 3 choices.
1st being i dont produce them.
2nd being i get new copies.
3rd being i drive back to georgia and retrieve the ones i already have.

PS...your job has no importance to this topic. Blow your horn elsewhere. Dont act like you know shit about me buddy. Because you dont. And stop with the insinuations.
 
Dustin, how about you reread your comment I quoted and clarify.

Whose responsibility was it to ship the animals?

If it wasn't you, why did you not contact your customers when you noticed the animals were still there?
 
I simply said that the person who posted the bells lace monitor ad IS the exact same person who wrote the mangshan viper ad under the name John buhs.

Up for consideration, the two ads next to each other.
