    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 Chad Johnson - Chadscresteds

:hurray: MEET FIASCO!!! aka: Fifi
The first night home...(unfired)

The next day. She's sleeping but she's partially fired and happy :)

and Broderick also included a little unexpected surprise...a little flame...:)

They were in DIRE need of suanas. Fiasco had NO stickiness what-so-ever left to her feet, she couldnt even hold onto my hand, and as you can see she did lose his tail at some point, the little baby did too. So I gave her a suana, followed by a heavy misting, she couldnt stop lapping up the water dripping down the sides! By the next morning she was perched up on her leaf :) She still had a little stuck shed on her finger tips as you can see in the picture of her sleeping.

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who stood by me during this whole elongated FIASCO! :ack2: And for Broderick picking up Chads slack.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE! I truely appreciate all of you, and appreciate your friendship :yesnod:
 
What a pair of cuties!!

FiFi is GORGEOUS, and the little flame is so tiny!! He needs a NAME!!

Congrats on your new kids!!

And Broderick/Chad...you did the RIGHT THING.
 
Broderick just informed me that the little flame is from red parents...so I hope he surprises me! The kids are calling him Baby Cakes, Cakes for short,lol. I had named him Hitch b/c he hitched a ride with Fiasco.
 
So...Babycakes, huh??

The things we do for the kids...:yesnod:

Well, he's a doll!!!

I hope the "red parents" turn out for ya!!
 
Yayyyy!!!!

I'm SOOOO very happy for you, Tara!

And Broderick, thank you for getting Tara her pretty little gecko. The little extra WAS a nice touch. :thumbsup:
 
What a wonderful outcome!

I am new to this site but have been perusing with great interest many of the BOI threads and have to say this by far is the strangest one I have encountered.

Love a happy ending!


...Jefroka
 
Tara got 3 Geckos out of this and they were well deserved. I'm glad to see once again the BOI has served a great purpose for everyone involved. This is a great resource for us deli cup herpers. I like how people put their heads together and make things happen here. You are all very much appreciated by the community.
 
What posting privileges were taken away? If you are talking about replying in classifieds ads, you have to be a paid member to do that now. It's a recent change.

Tara, again, so happy this worked out for you!
 
I was going to buy a gecko that Broderick @ vwgeckos recently posted and I decided to back out at the last minute because it was way too shady. I had read a bit of this boi so the chad paypal account was a red flag for me. Here is the PM that he sent me his paypal in. Thought I'd step in to help this thread out a bit.

Yeah I'd say that's definitely a bad sign seeing as just a few posts ago Broderick had stated that he absolutely does not use [email protected] as a paypal address(as that was Chad's of course), and yet signed that message with his name and posted from his vwgeckos account.

For EVERYBODY it may concern my pay pal is NOT chaddywagger@ gmail.com which is chads. MY pay pal is [email protected]. It has been the entire time. I would like my posting privliges that I rightfully deserve back.

The saga continues. Good grief. Why would someone be so stupid to use that paypal address and the VW account?? Jeez:shootfoot
 
Nice one, CHAD.

The BOI is here because of people like you.

At the rate you're going, you'll soon be one the same level as Dean Stemple and Jeff & Christina Wise.

Is that how you want to go down in the history of the BOI??

As a scammer and a thief, CHAD??

How does it feel to be compared to someone who steals from the widow and children of a HIGHLY RESPECTED & BELOVED MEMBER??

How does it feel to be compared to a common snake thief??

Well, you can kiss good-bye your ideas of having this thread resolved and regaining your name. You have one too many names for that to happen, CHAD.

The problem is when you lie to people you have to remember EVERY SINGLE LIE that you tell, and keep them in order, so it doesn't all unravel at the seams.

When you tell the truth, you don't have to keep your story straight, because there's nothing to trip you up.

The truth never changes.

You thought you were slick, CHAD...and you weren't.

You're a just a bad thief, a scammer, a liar, and a double-dealer.

The funny thing is, you can't even do THAT WELL!!

You're NOTORIOUS!

Congrats!
 
He lie's so much, he can't even remember what he lied about. I've always suspected Broderick was just posing for Chad and it was in fact Chad that was under this new name the whole time, like another member pointed out earlier might be the case. It explains all the run around Tara experienced with getting her last Gecko. It also explains the IP address remaining the same as Chads. Good job on exposing Chad once again, Louisa.
