    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....

Bad Guy Ed Clark, again

Feel free to cast aspersions at me because I have not been a contributor

I have not been a regular contributor to Fauna Classifieds, so I can see how someone might think I am a novice. However, I have been involved in the reptile industry for over twenty years. I was a subscriber to Fauna Classifieds when it was only available in brown pamphlet form back, in the early nineties. I have raised, bred, and studied herps long enough to have seen many, many unhealthy and poorly shipped animals. I am just saying that my dealings with Ed Clark have been good ones. The fact that I have not contributed regularly has nothing to do with the accuracy of my statements.

Consider yourself lucky but I won't gamble a nickel on Ed Clark.

Correct, ed was a contributor here and you couldn't believe a single word that came from him, but my question (and it seems a few other members here share my wonder) is why all of a sudden did you decide to make your first and second posts (in close to the 3 years since you decided to actually put down the brown pamphlet and register) to support someone here that has so many OBVIOUS (just check the link Seperntsden provided in case you have blinders on) bad guy threads? I'm relatively certain that you must have been aware of the way in which ed conducts business by reading one or many of his bad guy threads or even this one, you did read this one at least didn't you?

So, we have a member of almost 3 years who finally makes his first and second posts but oddly enough it is to show support for ed clark of all people. So again, why all of a sudden did you decide to pick this thread to show your support? Why not previously when you conducted said business with ed? If the transactions went so smoothly why didn't you speak up then? Why jump on the ed clark boat now? And since I have you I'll also ask, why would you show support for someone who has (you may want to catch up on those other threads before making your answer) screwed over many other people? :shrug01:
 
Ed Clark??

Ok so I didn't know if I should start a separate post for this or not so I figured Id tack it on here.

There is a poster on the bearded dragon dot org website that goes by the name of "alphadog" and on one of his For Sale posts the picture has "Ed Clark Photo" written on the top right corner.

So I'm wondering if this is Ed Clark or if its someone stealing one of his pictures. From what I've heard Ed Clark is a Bad Guy and not one to do business with so I def don't want people getting screwed, at the same time if its not him then its someone stealing his pictures so either way this isn't someone to be trusted.

Unfortunately I can't post negative comments about a breeder on that forum (forum rules) so I'm not sure what I can do about it beyond PM'ing anyone who responds to his post.. Any ideas?
 
I highly doubt anyone would want to steal Ed Clark's identity... But for the most part, maybe you can post a thread after you run it with the MODs on BeardedDragon.org about seller researching on Fauna's BOI.

By any chance, have you dealt with Ed Clark personally?

Ed Clark's tag under his name used to be "Alpha Dog" so its probably him :rofl:

Ah I didn't see that I guess that settles it lol. I ran a search on Fauna of the name alphadog and didn't pull anything up so I didn't know if that was one of his names or not.

@ shinezilla: I have never dealt with Ed personally just remembered reading a lot of bad stuff about him on Fauna.

Actually in the For Sale section of the forum at the top is a post that says Buyer Beware and among other warnings and disclaimers it recommends checking people out on Fauna.

Its just hard to see people like him and Nicole Norton of howling gale dragons (who also has recent posts selling dragons, some of which she only wants $10 for and admits they have health problems) selling and do nothing. I just don't want to see more people on here with bad experiences that could have been avoided.

I guess the neutered pup's sales must be down for him to have to be going by different name other than his own. See, that's what happens when you use your name to learn how to become housebroken. You're bound to make your name crap and others will have to watch where they step.

Were just lucky he wasn't bright enough to get a new name, but dull enough to use his "nickname".

Don't worry alpha dog :rolleyes: will be tightly watched on bd.org. I brought a few mods abreast of the "situation" and the first scent of a problem will get him booted quick fast and in a hurry lol.

Man, he's really getting into some crested geckos...

Anything he can buy cheap and flip for another hundred or two. He did this before he got booted for a year. He will be posting some snakes and other types of lizards here soon.

Well if you wanted those gecko's, you dont now. Ed is renown for poor husbandry skills. Put them in a cage and sell sell sell. Worry about cleaning later. Its how he runs into so many parasites. he picks them up from purchasing multiple animals from multiple people an NOT using proper quarantine methods.

I hope no one is selling them to him. I'd hate to see those critters in such bad conditions :(
