    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....

LOL! Any legitimate business herper would appreciate and embrace you experience and knowledge. Unless of course they are butt hurt and/or dishonest. Critter sweaters? I'll pay top dollar for anthing signed in blood.

Being a very insecure man, is the least of his problems, he owes in excess of $20,000.00 plus, to several good people who trusted him, and from reading his posts, he doesn't have it, to pay them back.

From watching his ads the last 10 to 12 months, it's my opinion, he took the monies from them for one thing, (uromastyx) and purchased another, mainly those off colored green iguanas from different Islands, not to mention the monitors.

Myself and a couple others copied and saved all his hyped up ads.

It's that time Princess, time to pay.:thumbsup:

Cmon' man! Give him a chance to respond first and prove us all wrong. Don't be so judgemental! I am confident that he will honestly answer our questions and prove what a goose chase we're on.
 
So if garrett is being honest like he claims, and only sent money to the Pakistani that was from Mike and himself and Markus and he only charged mike what he was paying he should have no problem posting proof of what he sent to the Pakistani. So are you going to post it garrett or not? If you don't it's just proof that you are a liar. If you weren't you'd have no problem posting it.

I'd rather see a receipt from the Paskistni that he recieved payment. With documentation of course.

Frogman,

I see you're lurking around the classifieds at this very moment.

You receive an email every time someone posts on this BOI thread, about your wonderful character.

Any closer to paying those you owe?

Hey here's an idea, you could try to sell ALL those island green iguana morphs, at the prices you were asking, and that would be more than enough to pay EVERYONE YOU OWE!

What do ya say?

He was lurking here moments ago. He obviously didn't have time to make me look bad by answering the questions I've submitted.
 
Money to buy cyclura but no money to pay those he owes? Real stand up guy. Been quiet through this whole ordeal but can't anymore. Owing some very good people in the uromastyx community money for animals he cannot deliver. Maybe they are all partners too. Now looking to purchase animals with out first paying money to those he owes. Is it possible to link his add to this thread somehow?

Please e-mail or text me with your full name pictures and price

Thanks

This guy has a lot of nerve, even though, they're not that expensive to buy, he could of taken that little bit and paid it to those he owes, it would be better than what he's been giving them, excuse, after excuse, after excuse, not to mention ALL the BS! Which is what his excuses are full of as well.

If I were these folks, I'd come forward here on the BOI, I'd call my local authorities, his local authorities, I'd contact the California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, the FBI, I would contact any one who would listen, and guaranteed something, somewhere, would happen, and this CON-MAN, will start spitting out money to EVERYONE HE OWES! GUARANTEED!

I have personally taken it upon myself, to make several calls yesterday, & today, to a few of my buddies in Law Enforcement, in California, Washington DC, Missouri, and Texas. I'm waiting to hear back, as to who can do something with the magnitude of this situation, one of the calls I made was received with "Lynn, tell me your kidding, who is this lowlife?" I sent everyone I spoke too , here to the BOI, when I hear back, I'll pass it on.

I can't believe I'm more fed up with this guy, than the good folks he owes:shrug01:

What ever it takes, I'm in it, until the end! This con-man has pushed all the wrong buttons with me.

I want those he owes to Remember, "The Squeaky Wheel" :thumbsup:

From the guy, you never heard of, does the word CONNECTED, mean anything to you Princess?

I just saw the top ad for the last pair of black iguanas left for $2800 bucks, which means he made a pretty penny already. Lots of wheelin' and dealin' goin' on.
 
I haven't been on all week due to my phone breaking but just skimming through the BOI i have ton to catch up on i just wanna remind everyone as of today 11/6/2015 will be a day before the 10 month mark i paid Garrett smith " frogman" for saara hardwickii im still waiting for he has done zero effort in offering a cash refund for now and will probably stay like that . Chances of him ever getting the hardwickii exported out of Pakistan is slim to none , he wants to cash me out for 4.4 pogona Barbata that are currently 500 euros a pair in europe and try to up sell to everyone that that there" $2000" a pair even if i never see a penny again from my money people need to know about this lowlife who never has money to pay anyone back but is constantly listing ads and stating he sells everything
