    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....
I Wonder...

I wonder if he has moved out of his granny's basement and into his monstrous new facility yet... I imagine that those things take time....

Chuck's collection was confiscated and April was contacted to pick up three animals for reimbursement. He was kind enough to include a mite infestation for free tho.

Wasn't that kind of him? :shootfoot I hope the jail cell Chuck finally ends up in is infested with lice so he can experience what his poor animals were going through.

April, how are these guys doing for you?

Is this for real? When did it happen?

Thanks.

Yes, Charles had many animals confiscated by St. Paul animal control several months ago when his Grandmother called them to remove the animals after Charles had ignored several requests by her to remove the animals from her garage. St. Paul animal control is not set up to care for a large number of reptiles so they were given to a private individual outside of the city of St. Paul.

Frankly I give a lot of credit to St. Paul animal control for not simply destroying the animals then and there as is their right, especially considering that there were a number of animals that are illegal in St. Paul.

The illegal animals have already been placed in other facilities outside of the city and April was told to go ahead and pick out three ball pythons from those that were confiscated. The rest, in time, will most likely go up for adoption through the Minnesota Herp Society.

April is a good friend of mine. I was there when April sold those ball pythons to Charles. I was busy with some business of my own and didn't notice that she had taken a check from him for her ball pythons. I felt very badly that I hadn't had a chance to warn her about him.

April is a very nice person who is very conscientious about doing the right thing and being fair with everyone she deals with. She's too good of a person to have to deal with some jerk stealing from her and then mocking her for it. And then to see some other Jackass casting aspersions on her character because of what she did or did not post is just too much.

I'm glad she feels that this is over for her now and she has some kind of closure. Granted, a bunch of mite infested snakes is not an ideal ending, but at least its an ending.
 
I just want to clarify again that there was no way to prove that the snake mites came from him. If animal control picks up reptiles and holds them, they might be exposed to other reptiles or put into the same enclosures they use for others, or they could have picked them up later. There are other possibilities for exposure and mites are something that you have to be prepared for when an snake comes from a rescue. That's why they were quarantined to the best of my ability. I was frustrated at the thought of dealing with the mites and unhappy about the general situation I was in, but not accusing him of being the cause of the mites. I did what I did to resolve this situation and not have to talk to him again.

Regardless, the snakes do all have good appetites and are putting on weight, and after (and during) a few treatments I have not seen mites now for maybe a month or so. One does have an old large scar that left a big dent in the muscle tissue, but seems to be doing okay otherwise. I have also never seen any signs of mites on any of my other snakes, but had treated them just in case. So all is done and over with.
 
Glad to hear there was some sort of resolution reached April. I wouldn't hold my breath on the scumbags promise to compensate you monetarily as well though. A POS like Chuckie probably needs the funds in his prison commissary account
 
At least

I won't have to decipher his version of the english language for awhile. Maybe he will have time to go back to school and get that 8th grade degree now that we on fauna are not hounding him. :shrug01: :angry:
 
Old Wounds

I hate to open up old wounds, but I'm wondering if anyone has any more specific info on Charles Schuck III?

He scammed me out of $500 in an eBay laptop computer deal, and I'd love to get some form of satisfaction out of it.

So if anyone knows of any hearings or court dates or anything of the sort that could benefit from my testimony and documentation, please let me know.

What a slimy, lowlife, scumbag. I don't know what kind of satisfaction you'll get. I rarely wish physical harm on anyone, but the sooner a pipe-wrench meets that guy's oversized empty melon, the better...

This should be taken care of in a PM, not the BOI.

On another note, HOLY COW CHUCKY!!!! Do us all a favor and go lose yourself!!! Can you get any lower? It does not surprise me that you...

You know what, I am not going to bother finishing that thought. I have stated my opinion of you long ago and it has not changed for the better.
 
Michael is correct, but heck chuck might learn something.

Dan, welcome to Fauna! Within the other forums on this site you don't have to include your name but on the BOI only, you most include your name on each post. You can do this by typing your name at the end of each and every post or you can simply private message WebSlave to add it to your profile.

While I am not a turtle breeder or distributor, I have purchased some for myself and for others local to me and gave them at cost. There are some fundamental principles that seem to be lacking from a lot of people today that I would advise anyone interested in dealing with reptiles, amphibians or with any business, hobby where you exchange items for monetary gain.

Be honest. It seems so simple but apparently it is a concept that escapes many as evident by this thread and many others.

I don’t care if you are a breeder, importer, middleman, buyer, or just an occasional seller. Just be honest with what you are doing. There is a place for everyone in this business or hobby. Take the time to communicate with those that you deal with. If a problem arises, handle it.

My opinion is when you are a seller or a distributor and you see so many threads like this one and others, it is hard to give the benefit-of-doubt to customers and some sellers become jaded when problems arise. The same could be stated for buyers. Give those you deal with the benefit unless they give you cause not to.

Feel free to private message me on this forum anytime.

Hmmmm. Makes me wonder if Chucky and Mike Shoemaker have found new friendship in one another. All of a sudden, Chucky becomes an ebay scammer as well.

So, what lame excuse you going to pull out now Chcuky? The world would like to know.

What was the ebay username that was used?
 
At one point I did sell thousands of things on ebay, due to taking up my time I no longer do it. To be honest I'm not sure of your issue but if is was me and your will to talk it over I'm sure we can get it worked out. I have PM'ed you my information.

PS. It's been a while sence I've done anything with my ebay account but if you can provide any purtant evidence support you claim I'll make sure your refunding.

Thanks for your time..
