    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.

    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....

Then I hadn't heard a word until Oct 29, when he asked for pics and bloodlines of the parents which I happily send and received the reply:

"she s growing and looking great ill send some pics thanks again"

On November 15, I received this request:

"Hi guys can you send me pics of the female i got from you and here bloodline i have a buyer and i dont have a camera its chris thanks"


After stating the pics were on my website and he needed to take his own picture for sale of the dragon, he said the dragon
wasn't eating, didn't look healthy, and that I had a dragon picture on my site that was the one he really purchased and I was a fraud.

The statement of fraud by Chris is what really set me off:


i do a lot of research before i spend a couple hundred dollars maybe there were a few other breeders i was talking too does that make sense ? or are you still mad because your dragon is not a true citrus dragon ha youre a true fraud.fake disrespectful you dont deserve too own these animals never mind selling them lol youre company is a Joke

Needless to say I was mad. Having kept all the emails too and from Chis, I calmly stated the facts multiple times.
Eventually I sent him the original email with the pics of the dragon he purchased, along with the tail nip (it was posted on fauna).
His last response was

just to add I was never informed there was a tail nip so fuck you

I was perfectly happy to let this jerk go his own way and never respond to him again, until he posted the female I sold him with incorrect genetics.
He stated she was 100% het trans. I questioned it on the classified ads, and wagged a finger at me in a pm, saying I should know what her bloodlines were and
I had refused to give him that information. He asked that I call him, I did. The conversation did not go politely.

After a few threatening messages, like "you don't know who you're f***ing with", "dont mess with him on the forums", etc...

I have not called him back, but I have refused to let him post incorrect genetic information on his classified ads, since he clearly doesn't know what
he's talking about.

There are several more emails I can post to further state my case, but I encourage all to call this guy if they consider buying from him and
think about who your about to buy from. He is just trying to sell dragons someone else produced, stating whatever he needs to to sell them.

This same guy, Carpenter1849, has been caught posting animals for sale in the classifieds section that he does not own. Be very leary of dealing with this fraud.
 
Before Anyone deals with this guy, please read THIS whole thread.

He is stealing pics from reputable dealers and trying to sell these dragons as his own.

-Dan Shelton
 
I saw this coming some time ago. Carpenter1849(Chris?) has been nothing but trouble on other sites as well. He is very rude and vulgar. After VERY childish emails from him I grew frustrated with him but kept relatively quiet. After being told my trans "wasn't" trans(and when I would not sell to him how ugly the dragon he wanted to originally purchase was) I had enough of it. I stopped communication with him but did receive more emails/inquiries from another email address(carpenter1489 i believe lol). His emails consisted of foul language, quoted Rap music lyrics and utter stupidity. This is truly someone you need not deal with. Not to mention the fact that in his short amount of time here he has mention to call a mod a liar reguarding the post HE deleted. Proof of this is held by the mod himself or can be seen in the classifieds still I believe. Do not let him fool you.


Here are a FEW emails. I do apologize if they are a bit out of order I am at the office lol, not much play time...The dates on the headers should hopefully clear any confusion up.

To be honest he is only being sold because he has been replaced and we need the room. He is a fantastic dragon. I was willing to accept your offer of $350. At that price I will be receiving $250 after shipping. I will let the offer stand should you change your mind. Thanks for your interest again.

I'm sorry. Many of your messages contradict themselves. You offered $350 shipped then stated you could not afford it. After that you offered to pay $300 plus actual shipping. Which you stated would have been more than you could afford. I agreed that was acceptable though confused because it was more than you offered to begin with. I have received so many different offers from you and quite frankly I am extremely confused. Thanks for your interest again, and I wish you the best of luck. Take care.

Exactly. There is nothing to say with actual evidence that reveals such an uneducated immature individual. At least we can all have a good laugh!
 
How ironic. I was wondering about this guy, lately, so I did some Google searching. I didn't find a Chris Carpenter, but I did find a Cindy Carpenter and another guy whose name I can't recall (Al? Alan? Something like that). I'm guessing--given the quoting of rap lyrics, all-caps typing, constant contradictions and changing his mind, terrible grammar, and childish reactions to not getting his own way--that he is just a kid. I also found he has ads on many different classifieds: Hoobly, inetgiant.com, Craigslist, Fauna, new.debuchan.us, and likely more. He also posts on many classifieds here about purchasing people's animals. This, coupled with his ads everywhere, led me to believe he was, at best, a shady character.

Hello Chris ,
Thanks for being patient all this while ,I just receive a mail from my secretary now that the payment as been sent ,i cant believe i am in such a mess , my secretary informed me that the payment as been issued with tracking Number 798216996633 (Fed Ex),and the possible amount on the check ,but what came to my surprise was that she issued more than i instructed her to issue ,i instructed her to issue a payment of $1200,she as already apologized she thought it was one of payment we make for external expenses .well its ok i figured out a way out ,the shipping company are also having some furniture picked up for me,so I intend paying him all the freight and handling fee of the furniture including thebearded dragons with the excess funds so all you have to do is get the check cashed and deduct your funds and help send the excess freight and handling fee via western union to shipping representative coming for the pick up, here is his information:

Christopher Grover
4554 Park Blvd.
San Diego, CA 92116

FYI : Sorry for the Mix up.I had the secure payment to help me secure the arrangement as i was busy with family problem,But now I'm able to do every arrangement myself and i will want you to ignore the email from secure payment that will be attached to the check package sent to you . Follow this email and arrangement & ignore the attach note to the package received.With the email attached to mail for payment verify.

As soon as you have sent the freight and handling fee just get back to me with the western union details below :

Sender's name and address
Total amount sent after deducting the western union charges
MTCN ( i mean the # 10 digits control number)
Best time you want the pick up to be done..

Map Quest to your location when the shipping company are coming for the pick up..so as to inform the mover on the scheduled time for the pick up and when to come for it .thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Regards
