    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.

    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.

I just completed my first transaction with Clark Tucker of Power House Reptiles and it was flawless.
I contacted Clark on Monday and offered my 1996 Ford E350 in trade for the 1. Pastel Lesser and .1 Bee he had advertised here in the fauna classifieds.
He replied to my email quickly, and accepted the trade offer. He asked me if I wanted to trade now, or wait until they had shed and taken 2-3 meals. I am not the waiting kind so we set it up for him to bring the snakes from Alabama down to me in Florida, and pick up the van on Wednesday. Clark kept in phone contact and arrived here Wed. to complete the deal.
It am very happy with the animals I received. It was an effortless transaction, and the first of many I'm sure.
 
Clark is the man!! While I have never bought any ball pythons from him (I'm just not big into balls) I have bought numerous geckos from him over the years and everything is always awesome. I was fortunate enough to go down and spend a few days at his house/facility and got to see all of his geckos and ball pythons and I can say everything was very well kept and very nice. Everything from the rodent building to the brand new snake buildings were awesome.

Overall Clark and Nicole are some of the nicest people I have met and am happy I can call them my friends :)

Thanks Derek

Does Clark Tucker own PowerHouse Reptiles?

I believe Clark is co-owner/partner or something like that, Joseph Capone made Clark in charge of caring for all of his Ball Pythons, so he in charge of maintaining all the animals.

That is what I thought it to be. This is the reason I have not made the purchases from the ads. I am glad now I did not buy now.

This thread is not about Joe Capone. It is about Clark Tucker/Power House Reptiles. There are several threads already about Joe Capone and they have now been linked to this thread.
This thread was intended for previous customers who have actually done business with Clark Tucker/Power House Reptiles to post feedback about their experiences, positive or negative, so that anyone considering making a purchase from him can access that info and make an informed decision.

I know some of you are going to say that it is important that it be known that Clark is involved with Joe and it has been made known. Clark is not hiding that fact, as you can read here on his home page: http://www.powerhousereptiles.com/home.shtml .

If Clark can produce high quality animals and offer them at unbeatable low prices with great customer service he's a "good guy" in my book.
 
Robert I'll stand by ya on this one. I've known Clark for a long time now and I trust him when I buy reptiles. He is a good guy in my book!
Yes, I have bought ball pythons from him and Joe.
Yes, I was completely happy with my order.
The prices were fair and the animals were healthy.

Powerhouse Reptiles is Joe Capone, thus it is about Joe Capone as well. All information should be provided in a thread about a dealer/breeder so that an informed decision can be made...Including the fact that they deal with or work with someone like Capone. Their are many who will not buy from someone who sells Capone's stock. If you get in business with someone like Capone, you have to expect his past exploits to come up in conversation.

You also can not dictate who says what or links what in any thread. Being that Capone is PowerHouse Reptiles and the title of this thread says "PowerHouse Reptiles," it is completely valid to post links to threads involving him.
 
If you have no problems with Joey, why are you so intent on separating Clark from him? After all they BOTH operate Powerhouse....

In fact, you link to "Clark's" homepage, when in fact, the whole thing is written by Joey, not Clark. Doesn't look like Clark's homepage, it looks like Joey's. :shrug01:

Since contacting Clarks Geckos about 3 years ago, Clark and I have become great friends as well as business partners. We have obtained many different species of rare geckos from around the world. Clark and Nicole have done extremely well with the gecko side of the business. It only made sense for me to relocate the Ball Python facility to Alabama with Clark and Nicole. The transition has gone very smoothly and Clark and Nicole have taken to the snakes extremely well. We are already producing snakes for 2008 and expect to have a phenominal year. Hope that you all enjoy the website and hope to hear from all of you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Joseph Capone III

I do not care who says what. If you feel it is valid to post the links to Joe Capones other threads, and you obviously did, that is fine. I was just saying it would be nice if the Joe Capone lynching could be done in any one of those other threads. The title of this one is "Clark Tucker of Power House Reptiles."

I have read enough here to understand why many invested breeders dislike Joe. Depending on which version of the Legacy of Joe Capone you hear, He either came into the industry with a million dollars and mass produced morphs selling them well below standard market value. Otherwise, He had no more than 250 normals at any given time, used smoke and mirrors to pre sell more animals than he could produce, and then had other breeders selling to him at the prices that he set way below market value, in order for him to fill his orders.

I don't know which story is true, or if either one is completely accurate and really don't care. Either way I don't see the problem. It is a free market! I am not a rich man, and am married with seven children. I look forward to having a Blue Eyed Lucy, Pied LA, and many other high end BP's. If Joe can produce and sell enough morphs to recoup his investment, and make enough profit to cover overhead and live off of, by selling his animals at a price much lower than market value, why is that a problem? Heck, if He can make the morphs I want available at a price I can afford and still feed my kids, I say, Thanks Joe!

How many of you put foreign gasoline in your Japanese vehicle? Then you are in business with, or at least fund and support that Venezuelan scumbag dictator Chavez, the Saudis, and the country that gave us Pearl Harbor. How many of you buy products from China? Guilty by association.
BTW, if you are a contributing member of Fauna you also fund and support the web site that Joe Capone advertises his animals for sale on. Not only that but you advertise on the classified section that he is a sponsor of. I guess one way or another you support him, and are a business associate of his :thumbsup:. Get real.

Joe the used car salesman Capone owne Powerhouse Reptiles.

Clarks Geckos is the business that Clark Tucker owns. He brokers animals for Powerhouse aka Joe.

To me, I could care less if Capone was selling BEL's for $1. It's his attitude and the way he presented himself that would make me avoid him.

Hmmm, maybe it semantics, or just the way my mind works lately....is he really "brokering" for Joe if he has all the animals? Yes, there is a business relationship - which they don't seem to be hiding - but if the whole BP operation is at Clark's, I don't see him as brokering.
Could just be me :shrug01: .

Steve,
I think Clark is more than just a broker, I believe he is a partner. I never met Joe so can't comment about his attitude or how he presents himself. However, I did meet Clark Tucker and he is not an A hole. He was great to deal with, and I received top quality snakes.
If Clark is keeping, caring for, and breeding Joe's BP's and selling the quality offspring for unbeatable prices while providing professional customer service and shipping, does it really matter if Joe Capone is financing the business?

It does if you care what kind of person your money is going to. :shrug01:
 
My mistake. I thought the high end animals were being brokered for Joe.

Doesn't matter anyway to me. I don't care for Joe based on how he was in his videos and the way he spoke to various people online.

I guess it's guilt by association. I wouldn't buy from someone who was partnered with or brokering for Capone. There are a lot of other sellers out there that don't give off a sleezeball used car saleman vibe to make a purchase from.
 
Is this Joe the Used Car Salesman who was going to drive everyone out of business a couple years ago then had a tiff with the real brains behind the operation and vanished?
Now he is starting up again with another stooge to do the work for him?

I don't!... and neither do you!

Anyway, I would not say that Joe Capone is a bad person. I have never met him, and just because a bunch of people that are pissed off because he knocked the bottom out of their get rich quick dream say he is a bad guy does not mean I am going to fall in line.

Like I said before where do you think the money you spend on fuel goes? Sam Walton, or whoever owns it now may be a real scumbag but I bet you spend your money at Walmart, purchasing things with "Made in China" all over them. Maybe you purchase Alcoholic beverages supporting the companies that supply all of the wife beating, child molesting, drunk driving alcoholics, and contribute to the destruction of human lives. Do you know that U.S. tax dollars fund planned parenthood, who abort 4,400 unborn children everyday.

I'm not saying that anybody who purchases a bottle of wine, puts fuel in their car, or pays taxes is a communist, wife beating, abortion doctor. I'm just saying, get off your high horse.
