    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....

Wow, I really wish I'd seen this sooner... he's up to trouble again.

Posted a thread on Pangea on April 12 about having to sell his entire collection. E-mailed promptly, and then fell off the face of the earth.

If anyone has current contact information, I would appreciate you passing it along.

Did you purchase an animal from him?
 
I sure did!!! I paid a few days later (after payday as promised) and never heard from him again. Have tried to contact him via e-mail twice to set up a shipping date.

I'm very interested in the second female, the one with more contrast to her pattern. Too bad that male is a boy, I'd take him too if I didn't have one just like him already.

He was banned from the Trade section (and not from the site entirely so he could not use "but I was banned!" as an excuse not to keep in touch), but we didn't know that the Trade section ban was temporary. I've personally never had to ban someone from Trade before... shows how crummy this situation is.

He's been re-banned from Trade and I'll check his status on there to make sure it sticks.
 
Contacting him is useless. Even if he responds, telling you he's going to ship...don't hold your breath...they are all empty promises. I know of 2 other people who have not come forth yet here that he's told he's sending them and he hasn't. And I myself am still trying to get the gecko that I ordered, he told me a week and a half ago he'd ship...its all LIES!!!
 
Geeze this stinks...hopefully everything gets resolved again, hopefully without someone having to step in and take over (can't remember the guy who did in this thread but kudos to you for being a great person!). Maybe if it all does get resolved, he can be fully banned from the sites? I'd hate for someone to post a 'wanted' ad, and for him to contact them since he can't post an actual ad. Or does the ban keep him from viewing the section altogether?

Oh geez. Thanks for taking out the trash, JB. Wow, I can't believe after all the first round of drama he went and did it AGAIN!
 
I'm a mod at Ciliatus, and I'll be watching for him.

Anyone know how to get his ISP so I can ban it in case he tries to join?
 
Just got back from being out of town without internet for the weekend... no news via paypal, e-mail or on pangea.

The guy just up and disappeared. With my money of course...
 
What was his user name on here? Was he just listed under Chad Johnson?

I find this incredible that after someone helped him to ship out the past round of animals he dares to go and do this again. I think this was after he kind of slammed someone who posted on one of his trade ads in regards to what he had done by taking money and not shipping animals out. He was all defensive saying it had been taken care of...Just amazing
