    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 BEWARE! Ken, the owner of Exotic Pets LLC is not a reputable dealer!

DENNY=Bad Guy!! ALL THE WAY!
Ken, I will definitely be buying from you! You have remained so calm. I know there's no way I could have kept my composure like you did. A++ in my book

I think at this point it would be appropriate for Ken to start a bad guy thread on Mr. Hatcher. It just might prevent someone getting ripped off.

He more than deserves one now. "Bad guy BEWARE!-Not a reputable dealer!" indeed! :angry: People looking to do business with him should be able to search his name and get some forewarning so they can make their own decision about him.
I already know what mine is and it's not changing. :NoNo:
I can't understand what kind of person would make lies so far like that again and again. Just why!?

Ugh. I seriously can't believe there's enough people out there like that to make a whole site of it. Of all the terrible things... :nonod:


Despite how downhill this has all gone, I'm glad everything has come to light.
Never underestimate the BOI sleuths, they did a great job here. :eek:
 
He's on now and reading this thread, but seems to be out of snarky replies lately:

Lucille, snakemami, bwt501, SApythons, biotechatb, Method919, Ponderosa Snake, dragonlvr64, sfconstrictors, wwmjkd, TakinANapster, calientedragons, mudfreckles, Tim Cole, Ken Foose, Fatman608, treeboa, jluman, hezekiah
 
In light of the obvious guilt, the lies surrounding his service, the slander of a respected member of the herp community, the thievery of photos, and the outright abuse of the BOI, how in the world is this guy not banned?

Members do not get banned due to business dealings as that would make the mod and admin staff 'judge and jury'. The BOI is a tool for persons to research and learn about who they want to buy from and/or sell to based on their own conclusions drawn from the evidence that is presented.
 
wow, the impersonation of military personnel. i just threw up in my mouth.

disgusting, you should never be around here, ever again.
 
Mr. Hatcher,

From Your age You do not appear to have been old enough to serve in Vietnam and from Your Facebook Pictures You appear to have two fully functioning arms.

Due to these serious discrepancies (lies) in your story I am forced to doubt anything You have said thus far in this thread.
 
I got an email from Mr. Hatcher today saying that he never started this thread, and never emailed me or posted here that the snakes I sent him had mites. He said he was hacked. I have no way to verify this claim one way or the other. He did say he was sorry about all of this, and would happily buy from me again. Beats me. Moving on now.....
 
TakinANapster said:
I don't know if you served or not, but I served with great "honor", SIR! You can't take that away from me!

I reported a guy that lied 3 times on a transaction. In the course of that, I lied about a picture (bad me). Way before the picture....from the time I posted, everyone was beating on the poster, instead of the real liar here. If I get a bad deal again, I won't bother to warn others on Fauna. Let the buyer beware.

You that want to....go ahead and buy from ken....have at the mites ;-)

...that has to be the most appropriate usage of scare quotes I've ever seen.

[definition of "scare quotes" to those of you who aren't losers like me and study linguistics for funsies: material in scare quotes may represent the writer's concise (but possibly misleading) paraphrasing, characterization, or intentional misrepresentation(sic) of statements, concepts, or terms used by a third party. This may be an expression of sarcasm or incredulity, or it may also represent a rhetorical attempt to frame a discussion in the writer's desired (non-standard) terms (e.g. a circumlocution, an apophasis, or an innuendo)...]

Give credit where credit is due, at least our friend Denny, clearly not yet arisen from his "Napster" (scare quotes FTW!), while disregarding his credulity, ethics, and general character, and boasting his moral turpitude, has not completely given up on the notion of grammatical nuances.

Three cheers for sarcasm!

...I read this entire thread, beginning to end, and I have got to say, I'm so frustrated, I could break something. Amazing detective work, Fauna-ers. I knew I liked y'all.

And sir, as for warning others of said "bad deals" (again! I slay myself...), I think at this point, we're all OK with taking our chances. Be careful before posting to the BOI, they'll figure you out before you have a chance to figure yourself out!

A shallow and contrived apology is better than none at all, I suppose. If lying (AGAIN!) to make himself feel better and sleep well at night is what he has to do, then so be it.

Admission of guilt? I'll take it! :)

...and on a sort of related note, I kinda want a rosy boa now.

Good on ya, Ken. Seem like a stand-up guy! :)
 
hacked !!!! thats fantastic !!

he got caught and called out on his lies and deceiving ways. period.

good morning, good afternoon, good night, "mr hatcher"

good job ken
 
Lucille said:
And of course, Hatcher offered no proof. He is lurking below right now to see if anyone believes this latest round of garbage he has served up.

Feh!
Click to expand...

Actually, double Feh!! One Feh for the lies about the disabled veteran status, and another Feh for the new round of lies regarding being hacked.
I was somewhat puzzled about his complaint against the supposed compensation being received from the V.A. I myself have no complaints, but only praise for the V.A. They've saved my life more than a few times. Don't know what I'd do without them.

Oh come on now!?! Who in :censored: would hack someone and post stuff like this? That's not why people hack computers. Really? Really? It that the best you have after all the lies you were caught in? Whoever "hacked" you seemed to know a good deal about and your supposed exploits.

This is stupid. :shootfoot

Well, that is quite a bizarre yet convenient twist if I ever saw one. Denny sure needs a lesson in how to treat self inflicted wounds...:rofl:
 
Given the lengths he has gone to, to lie, insult, obfuscate, and in addition generally act like a horse's behind to some of the members posting here, if the last snake on earth was posted on his website (which seems pretty much to be out of stock on everything anyway) I'd have to say no thank you. I would neither buy from him nor sell to him.

He damaged his own reputation by his own behavior. What comes around, goes around.
 
This is Denny Joe Hatcher.

Yes, my forum accounts, email accounts and paypal account was hacked because I was stupid enough to use the same password for all.

My son is a computer geek and asks if you (the BOI) store the mac address? This guy/gal knows just enough tidbits about me that I would consider a stalker.....and I believe, if I have the mac addrress, may be able to prove it. That's what my son implies anyway.

Either way, I greatly apologize to Ken. I did have a disagreement with him, and that was it. I never posted this thread and I hope it can be proved! I have read this disgusting thread twice today and still cannot believe it.

The way Ken composed himself during this thread, I would not hesitate to do business with him again....if he would have me for a customer.

-Denny Joe Hatcher
