    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....

Anyone know JL Exotics (Mike Kerwits) out of Florida?

Just curious if anyone has ever heard of Mike Kerwits from JL Exotics out of Florida...any info would be greatly appreciated...He seems like a great guy just by speaking with him over the phone but you never know so that's why I'm here...look forward to reading some responses. Thanks for your time.

What is he trying to sell? I have talked to John Light of JL Exotics several times and he is a great guy. I've never heard of Mike Kerwits and I don't think John has a partner.
 
Mike Kerwits?!

I am unaware of anyone else using the name JL Exotics. JL Exotics stands for John Light Exotics. I am John Light and I do NOT have a partner. This is the 2nd time I have heard of someone using my name to try and sell their animals. I have NO idea who Mike Kerwits is. At this time I have NO animals for sale. Alex I left you a message on your cell phone. If you have questions please give me a call. The last time something like this happened someone was taken for ALOT of money as he thought he was going to be getting a pair of adult het Clown ball pythons. The man in question stated "he said he was with JL Exotics". I am the only person. If I had adult het clowns I would NEVER sell them! Clowns happen to be a favorite morph of mine!

Again any questions post or call (954) 691-5489
 
I appreciate the response John. I was almost taken for a couple of thousand dollars myself. I was supposed to be getting a proven breeder male pastel, 1.1 100% het albino breeders, and approximately 20 wc/imported adult females. I did receive your voice mail but not until late last night so I figured I would hold off on giving you a call back...This guy whoever he is has given me two phone numbers and I have his e-mail address...now he didn't get the chance to scam me but he might try and scam someone else...do you think there's something I can do to prevent him from doing that? Should I get police or any type of official involved?

Not sure if there is anything you can do because you never actually went through with the deal. Kingsnake actually banned him from their site.

Do you know how to check his IP#? If you send me his e-mail as an attachment I can do that for you. At least we will know where is he writing from.

Regards.
 
He could always switch it up by going to a local library or leaving his grandmothers and going to his mom's. Just something to think about.
 
he actually called me the first time I guess from his mother's or grandmother's house the first day we spoke...the following day I called that number...asked for "Mike" and I was told I had the wrong number...I talked to him later in the day and explained I called that number 3 times and I had the wrong number...nobody had ever heard of him there and then that's when he gave me I guess his cell phone number. He just called and left me a voice mail on my cell phone about 2 hours ago stating he was sorry he didn't call me back yesterday after checking up on the females I was going to purchase from him. What should I do? Should I drag it out with him and make it seem like I'm going to pay him, tell him I'm going to send him a check, but in reality just write some stupid letter inside? Should I call him out on his scam? I guess he doesn't check the BOI very often...I don't think he has a clue as to me finding out about him. This situation is hilarious right now...he'll get what he has coming to him. Thanks John for everything and the chat earlier today...I appreciate it more than you know.

Hey no problem alex. I do know one way to really bust him which would involve the goverment, only problem is I don't believe he has any animals so when someone showed up all they could do is warn him. Only other way to take him down is going through with the deal.
 
I had a bad experience with Matt, Mario, whoever he is right now. This guy is a good talker but you can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He needs to be taken down but I am finally getting my money back after a year of dealing with him, so I am done with him for good finally.
 
I had a talk this morning with Brock one of his so called friends and business partners. What a good call that was!!! I was an hour late to work because I sat in the parkinglot talking to Brock. We sure did have some laughs. Every single person he said he knows and deals with has said they have no idea who he is or he's a joke and they never actually delt with him. His reason for not going to daytona was he was going to be in the hospital. Turns out to many people were after him...that's why he didn't go! This is a never ending story of kicks...he sure can talk alot of crap! Thanks for the call Brock I look forward to buying from you in the future!

He told me he didn't go to Daytona because his job sent him to Texas for a week.

Like I said earlier, Matt is a compulsive liar and you can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

The first time I talked to him, I remember him telling me that he had a Blue Eyed Leucistic. What a joke.
 
He told me the same thing...he had blue eyed and black eyed leucistics...he's called me 3 times today still...last call less than 20minutes ago at about 4:20pm est...I don't think he left a message though...I'm very tempted to just call him back and mess with his head a little bit. You have to love the BOI and everyone involved here on fauna. Thanks guys for your help, input, and responses...I can't wait to see how long this thread goes on and on. If everyone who has talked or dealt with Matt, Mario, Mike and whatever other alias this guy has I'm convinced there would be more than 5 pages about his lying and cheating b.s. on here. Hope everyone has a great day and again thanks for everything...we'll get him...

Be sure to check out the Mario Gotti thread and the Matt Goldman thread. This guy has been at it for a while. I never added anything to those threads because I just recently paid to post in here.
 
Thanks for the link to the threads Derek...Well, that's proof well over 10pages of this guys lies...He told someone else he was related to Gotti and the first night I spoke to him he told me his last name was Corleone...what a joke. I'm spent with this whole situation for today. Tomorrow is another day to post. Now hopefully someone can help me find what I'm looking for and really provide it for me instead of this guy's talk, lies, and sales pitches. I'd love to take the trip down to FL to check out his so called house full of snakes...mojaves, pastels, pieds, leucistics, etc, etc, etc...he sure has enough to go around :)

John,

Maybe you got that wrong. Maybe he didn't go to Daytona because if he did he might "end in the hospital". ;)

Regards
 
I just called him...he picked up...I said hey Mike, Matt, Mario...whoever you are today...he then hung up on me...I called back and guess what got a voice mail that I couldn't understand...although I did leave him a very "nice" message.

Just curious, how did you put 2 + 2 together. The posts were about this Mike Kerwits guy and all of a sudden we are talking about Mario Gotti and Mike Goldman. Not a bad guess. What it the IP address??

That's priceless.....

"Yo my phones buggin call me back."

What a loser.

Good luck finding what you are looking for. This guy set me back in time and money. I even considered not getting into the morphs at all. Now I am back to saving. Unfortunately, I learned about Matt and this whole business the hard way.
