    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 CHELSEA RICHARDSON please read this!!!

Thanks for your insightful comment Bernard!

This was a purchase that Wes made awhile ago. $300 is a great deal but look at the person that he bought it from. Wes got countless texts saying that she was too "high" to go to the post office. Posting proof of any of this is moot. 1) If you have dealt with Chelsea then you know she is a dead beat 2) Chelsea obviously doesn't do business here on Fauna so it's not like she has a reputation to defend. 3) What good will it do to go through the hassle of scanning in a bank statement or text messages? If there is someone who can help that wants to make a little money in doing so then Wes will be more then happy to provide the proof that is necessary. Chelsea readily admits though that she kept his money and never sent the snake. Wes's motivation to post on the BOI was to simply make others aware of what she could possibly do to someone else. Also, look at the date Wes posted this BOI. Knowing what we both know now about the BOI forum, we probably would have just called it a loss.

Hopefully Shayn can do something. He will definitly be compensated for his troubles! That goes out to anyone else as well!

I will paypal you money if you go get my albino shane. I will fund you all the fees and a little extra if you could do that. Or atleast a snake that is healthy and worth what an adult male albino is worth?

Thanks

Just wanted to let everyone know that Wes was at my house and accidentally posted under my username. I always stay logged on on my home PC.

Thanks for clearing that up. I assume you're brothers or something? Anyhow...there's too many folks that try to play games on here to let something like that go without an explanation. :thumbsup:
 
i could of bought the snake for $200 if i wanted. when the snake was a baby it had surgery on it nose(she used to care about her animals) and now its head looks all messed up. ive been screwed twice on the iinternet not with snakes but with a couple of hunting bows and target bows and i know how it feels. my family owns a strip club in louisville and she filled out an app, its been a while and it probly has he old number but i will give it a try. my girlfriend is goin to find her brother to cuss him out since he cut her off friday night and she almost hit him.it may be a couple days till she gets back to work.she hurt her foot. but i will try to do every thing i can to help.
 
Still waiting on prove.. Got time to bash someone but no time to post prove?? Then why post on here at all? Yes she does have a bad reputation but without the prove your post is pointless....

It's not pointless. It's still a source of information on whether or not it's a good idea to buy from this person. How much weight someone gives to this source is entirely up to them. You might go ahead and choose to buy from Chelsea because there's no "proof" posted here....but personally, I would not.

Obviously, the more proof a person can offer, the better....especially if a matter is being disputed. But Chelsea won't even come here to defend herself...which also says a lot.

That's exactly my point. Chelsea isn't obviously doing business anymore unless you want drugs apparently! Wes wasn't trying to bash Chelsea rather, he wanted to inform others about what had happened. Posting "proof" of anything wouldn't accomplish much at this point. If someone is willing/able to help us then we are more then happy to go through the trouble of giving them any proof to substantiate the situation. Again, if you contacted Chelsea right now she wouldn't deny taking the money and not sending the ball.

Any ideas why the snake had surgery?

Thanks again for trying to help Shayn. Like Wes said, if by some miracle you get the snake in hand then we are more then willing to pay you for your troubles.

Thanks again man.
 
Well i guess sense there is controversy on the boi about the posted person and the poster I will just stay clear of both and let everyone know.. Maybe I should say I sent one of them money and they never sent me a snake and start a bad guy thread. Then decide not to post proof cause im lazy.. The bad guy thread will still be there.. But yet is it justified NO.. Or maybe yes cause they both already have controversial threads.

I left this one alone because I really don't like the way it's going. :shrug01: The OP could post some proof, bank statments proving at least that one part of his story is true...this would give support to the rest of his story.

Otherwise, simply because someone has a past history it does not automatically mean that another story by someone else, given without supporting substance must be true.;)
 
Caleb,
Your brother came here asking for help with the situation. Most people aren't going to do much without being shown that there's a real issue. If neither of you want to provide proof, don't expect to be taken too seriously.

Encouraging people to involve themselves in this inappropriately could backfire...on them, and on you.
 
I'm confused as to why you'd offer to pay money for the snake to her friend, for a snake you already paid for? Are you offering to pay for the snake twice? Or just offering to pay a fee for him to locate something you already paid for?

And yes, although proof isn't required, without anything posted, it's just talk. You could be a really honest guy looking out for everyone, but we don't know you from Adam's housecat, so we can't just say "Oh yeah.. look at how he types, looks like an honest font." So that's why people ask for you to post proof.

Posted proof also provides for folks that actually read this to see that it really happened the way you say it did.
 
I have no problem posting proof of the bank statement if someone is actually willing to help me. Otherwise I'm not wasting my time to prove to people that chelsea is someone bad to deal with, I just want the snake I paid $300 for and never got. So please unless your willing to help me get my snake or anything close to the value of it dont ask for proof because I have a busy life and am not on the computer all day. Hope I didn't insult anyone because I'm not.

Thanks for your time

Well, ya know...I tried to point out that this thread isn't as worthless as some claim because whatever little dribble of information you choose to give is still there for anyone to weigh as they choose.

However...your attitude, quite frankly, sucks. If you want people here to take your claim seriously and to WANT to help you....then post your proof and take the matter seriously yourself. I'm sure you're serious about your lost $300....but you seem to be acting as if you're ENTITLED to have someone leap up to your rescue without even taking a tiny bit of effort on your part to scan a paper and post it up to prove that your claim is worth their attention.

I've seen MANY MANY threads here where people will go out of their way to help a stranger get justice.....but not when that stranger shows so little investment in their own problem.
 
so if 30 ppl hit u up to get ur snake and u have to send 30 PMs or email with the proof, that some how is quicker and less time consuming then posting it once on the thread?

if u want anyone to take u seriously u should have posted the proof as soon as u knew u had some, ie. bank statment, phone records. and not try to aviod posting it AS IT SEEMS.
** i say AS IT SEEMS because im not accusing anyone of lying or dirty dealing, it just seems like u dont want to post the proof**


but if ur not willing to put in the effort to find ur snake, how can u expect anyone else to?
