    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 Brian Johnson from BNB Exotics

With regard to having leos purchased from BNB Exotics, I couldn't agree more; there's absolutely nothing wrong with purchasing an animal that is appealing to you, he has "some" nice leos.

I totally and STRONGLY disagree with this concept.
It is COMPLETELY different to have purchased from him in innocence, not knowing of his reputation. There is NOTHING wrong with that.

AFTER one learns of his horrible behavior, it would not matter to if he had the last gecko on earth, it would be unethical in my opinion to buy from him no matter what he had for sale.

Yes - that is what I mean. I am not saying to support the horrible person he is in anyway. I am saying, those that have purchased already without understanding of is business practices before hand can't do anything about that and saving the leos isn't a bad thing. I would NEVER support Brian again and would NOT encourage others too. I hope that clarifies what I meant.
 
Well I'm EXTREMELY glad I have my "Good Guy" thread up here about Ben and Brenda now, after seeing what accidentally happened to them on here due to the misunderstanding.

I myself am very partial to vivid oranges and really like the look of some of Brian's animals. It was the reason I began following his page. I wanted to buy from him but his prices were much too rich for my blood and still continue to be in my current position. I myself hadn't heard anything bad about him per-say but did find his constant caps lock use and poor grammar extremely annoying.

HOWEVER, there is no way in hell I'd get anywhere near him now. I would much rather go to the source and buy from JMG, or go to the people who have purchased from him and have been subsequently victimized. In fact, maybe I'll just go back to Ben and Brenda a THIRD time, this time for a nice tang from the animals they got from him. I like his stuff, but I do NOT want to give him any business because I do not condone his behavior.

I do secretly wish he would be unbanned to post on this thread again, because he was so ridiculous that I was cracking up over here reading him.

Hi all,

I've purchased a few leopard geckos from Brian Johnson from BNB Exotics in OH. There were missed shipments and after forgetting to send a female in one shipment he also sent the wrong male. Things happen, I understand. What bothers me is the fact he not only threatens to destroy my credibility, he also makes an attempt too. I have attached screen shots of text message I'm allowed to here. I've also included a link to the Reliable Reptile Review page on where more details can been seen https://www.facebook.com/groups/437785452987736/permalink/691678930931719/ I believe the group is closed, therefore you would need to request to join.

If I am allowed to upload more info., I will. Please note, I take no joy in providing this feedback out all. I am posting due to the slander involved, as he states I used a fraud card. No. I requested a partial refund from my card company after being unable to resolve the issue regarding receiving the wrong male leopard gecko.
