    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....

Carson Phelps (herps unl)-- CAUTION

Hey Carson,

Did you pay Mike that money you owed me? I can post the emails if you don't remember our arrangement? Last time I checked you hadn't..but I did pay your debt to Dave!! (we swapped debts due to...well let's just say odd circumstances)

If you would stop treating people this way you wouldn't have these issues.
 
Carson, Where did you get too? You sent me a email and called me on 10/17/06 To make things right then just crawled under your rock again. One day we will meet up again you cant hide under your rock forever............................

Craig

I think he answered your question in Post #24

there were 2 bad threads about me
i decided not to make good on them because there was no proof of dead ball
pythons.

What a weasel!
 
John, I saw that the weasel was to replace them long before they ended up dead for them not feeding and he is well aware of that. I know the shows he attends and im not the only one looking for him.
 
I want to add my own information about Mr. Phelps. I did my first deal with him about two years ago. I bought a bunch of turtles from him. After that, he kept contacting me about other animals he had for sale. In 2006 I have purchased approx. $15,000 worth of herps from him. Out of all the animals I bought from him, not one has died while in my care. I have not gotten one sick animal from him. Every animal I have purchased was exactly what is was supposed to be. He has thrown in extra stuff for me, and I'm not talking cheap animals. When I call him, he almost always picks up the phone. If I leave a message he usually replys within hours. I have found him to be a great source of hard to find herps. His prices are always more then fair. The quality of what he sends me is very high. Never had a DOA from him. It's a shame that some have had bad experiences with him. The fact is, I have not. How long will I continue to do business with him? As long as he wants me to. I only wish most of my other suppliers were half as easy to deal with as Carson. He ships what he says he's shipping. Shipments are always on time. Animals are always perfect. Prices are very good. He answers all my questions, and always keeps in close contact with me. I'll more then likey spend another $15,000+ with him in '07 and beyond. I don't know Carson personaly, and I have no reason to "stick up" for him. I'm just stating my facts in dealing with him. He is a business relation, no more, no less. He takes care of my needs and treats me great. Can't ask for more in a business relationship. As for the lack of communicaion, beats me. He called me when those chacos showed up. They sure are nice looking torts.
 
Ken,

I am glad that there is at least one person out there that Carson Phelps hasn't lied to and taken advantage of.
I can see were it would behove him and be in his best interest to take care of you.When you have a client such as yourself that will do return business ,you want to keep that bridge clear and door open .
I have never done business with carson phelps nor do i have any plans on doing so anytime soon.In my opinion it is better to be for warned and steer clear of shady business practices then ,spend large amounts of money hoping I'm not his next victim.Good for you on your good dealings ,but the odds are not yet in the publics favor. :)
 
ball pythons etc

Ken,

You're post in support of Carson was no doubt all truth and your business dealings have proved to be of benefit to you both. But those last sentences were uncalled for gloating that you got some cool animals that he may also have promised to someone else. You're a good guy and maybe didn't mean it that way but that's surely how it sounds.

On another note, Carson, you ought to consider using real words, real sentences, and a few capital letters when you communicate online. People will take you more seriously if you don't write like a teenager using AIM.
 
Carson, You told me you had 2 Pastel female Ball Pythons just had to get them feeding. Then you send me a email there feeding and your going to ship them in October. Now you want me to wait till Feb? Looks like your buying more time. For someone that sell's 15,000$ worth of reptiles two pastels should not be that hard to find for a big dealer like you?


hi craig
there both feeding great

i'm not sure if i'm going to the show

Ici, I believe the mods of this site do not allow/like people to have TWO names on this site. I think you need to pick one and stick with it. At least here you are giving people your real name unlike on KS where you make up names almost as fast as the mods there ban you from their forums.

Adrian, I don't know who you are, or what you want from me. I really couldn't care less, hehe. I'm 20 years old, I attend an Ivy League university, and my collection is absolutely stunning! Kingsnake has nothing on me, and I'm light years ahead from all the trash posters that know absolutely nothing on KS.

I made two accounts on fauna-- one as a business account, and one as a casual account. I'm sorry for all of the confusion
 
reptiles

craig

Fauna's your site Bro.
I only go on here for sh--its and giggles.
so the very sm negative feedback on heres doesn't effect me whats so ever

I just saw this thread for the first time. I am the "emily" that Carson refers to. As of yet we have not made any progress on our "deal." Please see this thread for details:

Hope we can still work things out Carson!
