    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....

Bad Guy Bad Apple Craig Wyatt.

Craig,


Too many people are using the BOI as a blackmail sort of option. Its my opinion that people are giving the readership of the BOI form way too much credit. The OP threatened or hinted to post a potential bad BOI on you. Once brought up you caved and didn't stick to your guns of selling healthy animals like it sounds like you do. Lesson learned.

A small portion of people think that:

1. everyone that keeps reptiles has a Fauanaclassifieds account
AND
2. The ones that have an account "ALL" read the BOI's.
AND
3. The members that read the BOI's will "ALL" agree with the regulars that comment on them.

I believe that the number of people that read or use the BOI is a very small percentage of reptile keepers.

If you look at the people that comment on all the BOI's, they are the same people that comment on every BOI.

I to have a false BOI on me. I'm hoping it gets to 100,000 plus views. I found out that 2 BOIers posted 41%+ of the 1,125 post to date. and I'm sure they make up most of the 97,000+ views as they are on it all day long. I have had all the regular BOIer's call me names scammer, crook, thief, con-artis etc. and many others names that I would get infractions for if repeated. Its been up for almost 5 months. My point is this….I have ads up for animals for sale the entire time. I am selling and have sold many, many animals with out question this entire time and get inquires on others daily. I have asked most of them if they have read the BOI on me. 100% of them said no. The last guy said no I don't read that garbage. I too was threatened by Michael Rodriguez that If I didn't let him out of a deal that him and I agreed to that he would post a bad BOI on me. He did and in terms of selling animals it hasn't affected me at all.

If you stick to your guns and are honest you will always come out on top. You appear to be an honest guy and I would buy an animal of you in a second. I hope this works out for you.

Best Regards
Garrett Smith

Wow! Just when I thought I've heard it all, lol. Perhaps a self proclaimed importer guru could tell everyone here what exactly he would buy from Craig. And how someone who brags of so many sales still owes ANYONE a dime. False Boi? In the case of Craig, absolutely. Difference is, people came to bat for Craig in this thread. Because he's done nothing wrong. How many went to bat for Frogman? ZERO! Nuff said.
 
Frogman,
Maybe this conversation could be appropriately carried out within your own BOI.
Unless of course, you have made your customer whole in any way, shape or form?
Apologies, as I know I am new to the forum, although not entirely new to the herp world..I just believe with an attitude exhibiting such "integrity" in ones words, shall endow a little action as well?
 
Garrett,
It is in my opinion inappropriate to bring your own BOI thread issues here.
As far as your whine about participation, in any group of people, some lurk, and some participate. That is neither good nor bad, people are the way they are. For the purposes of the BOI,however, those who do participate help make the system work.
 
Apparently Garrett couldn't resist trying to latch on to the support Craig has received. Garrett Smith does NOT have a false BOI but he believes if he says something that makes it the truth. Garrett has been called out by many people as a scammer and has been unable to convince anyone otherwise. It's really no surprise to those that know him that he resurfaced here and thought this angle would work on people, he thinks he's smarter than average somehow :rofl:

Tony,
The support Craig has received, is VERY DESERVING.

Craig, is a CLASS ACT!

Garrett doesn't come close to the man, Craig is!

Garrett's post is a COMPLETE and UDDER FARCE, his comment "If you stick to your guns and are honest you will always come out on top." is what had me rolling on the floor laughing.

He's really reaching, it's got to be terrible, yet very deserving, being backed in a corner with no way out. It's obvious to all, this is what happens when you go around lying, and scamming.

Garrett, come on back to your thread, and make the same case, you haven't posted, or answered any question, etc. in a VERY LONG TIME, that's not the actions of an HONEST person.
