• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. 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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Bad Guy Beware! !!! Graveexotics/Alex graves /possibly Alex may

Being retired law enforcement local pd would probably take you more seriously than the rest of us. And I'm sure you'd be able to control yourself, if I had the means and someone did that to me you bet I'd show up with local pd, all evidence, get my animals back, and press charges. Good luck getting them back.

Now it's confirmed!!!

I too had contact with this guy from hoobly. He had an ad up for Nosy Faly Panther chameleons. He didn't post any pics. So I emailed him and asked for pics. Well he sent them and I immediately recognized them. He stole them from Steve McNarys (chameleons international) Facebook page. Well I played dumb and tried to squeeze some personal info out of him. But after I replied to the pics he wouldn't reply back. So eventually I called him out and said he was a scammer plus some more things. Well he did reply to that and said my wife sent them out on accident. I called BS and some more stuff. We went back and forth a little but I wasn't able to get anything useful out of the conversations.
His email is [email protected]
He has a ton of ads up on hoobly right now.
 
Was just contacted by a member and apparently he is registered here in fauna as Tyler graves. Craig Wyatt just messaged me with that info and apparently had issues with Mr graveexotics also
 
Hey fauna user tgraves412 why don't you shed some light on this. Please tell us how long have you been scamming. Have you been successful at this so far or is this your first Score!! Can you post some pics of all your scammed reptiles. Must be very exiting for you. Especially now that you have been BUSTED!!!!! I told you not to long ago that I would figure out who you are. Guessing you didn't believe me. I'm going to offer you some very very good advice. Send your newly scammed lizard back today. I promise you if you don't it's going to get much much worse for you. I'm talking to you here because I saw you viewing this thread an hour or so ago.

Trades are a common way for scammers to get you. They either say you ship first or we can ship at the same time. What I'm saying to everyone just use caution when dealing with situations like this. If it's not a well known person ask for references. Ask for pictures of the animal with your name on a piece of paper in the picture. Just do your homework because this guy isn't the only one out there scamming.
 
Oh, you aren't lying it's gonna get worse. I'm gonna come down there with a squad of cops in the fugitive tracking unit and I'm gonna use every resource I can to find you. I WILL FIND YOU AND LAND YOUR ASS IN JAIL WHERE YOU ASS WON'T BE YOUR ASS FOR LONG!
 
I would like to encourage everyone that is reading this post to email [email protected] and encourage him to send back the animal. If any of you computer savy users can get his number please give it to me or post it for all to see.
I've had it out for this guy since he tried to rip me off.
 
You definitely pick the wrong person this time! I am relentless and will never stop till I find you. I'm retired bud! I have nothing but time and money. I've been wanting to see the entire US. Looks like I'm about to!
 
I did a quick search and this is what I got. Just real fast.

WellIke I said I invited him to come on here and clear the air, and as you can see he's a no show. So Mr TGraves412 looks like you are the scammer we all think you are. Real piece of garbage! I will be sure to treat you the same way while I'm processing your arrest paperwork.
 
Funny how he denys that's him. What a coincidence he was viewing this thread. Lmao
