    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....

I am just tired guys.
So I decided he already did this stuff to himself.
time for me to accept his apology and give him the benefit of the doubt.  Too tired to argue.

But let me know when Jesse Underhill comes back.  I always have something on reserve for him.
 
This is to everyone!!
     I know I have done alot of wrong things as far as moral character and judgement goes.  All I can say is I am sorry and move on.
  I am not solely the person that has made not so nice statements.  I am not usually that way.  There are no excuses but I can say I have had alot happen in the last six months.  I thought I was better prepared for whatever life dealt out.  I was wrong and I made some poor decisions.
However, the most important thing of all I did after me and Ritchie talked was pray.  I am not trying to use religion.  I am just being straight up.
 I have found forgiveness thru the eyes of our Lord Jesus Christ.  That is all I needed.  He will guide me thru the rest and help with all other problems as well.  
I appreciate Ritchie giving me another shot.  I will not betray that.  Jesus died on the cross for all of us another shot.
 I have also had to let go of things and forgive that others have done.  
Who am I or anyone to judge except for the Lord Jesus Christ Himself?  He forgave us all!!  Who are we not to forgive?  When He did it so quickly!!
Don't get me wrong I am not asking for forgiveness from people I have offended.  That is up to you to give.  I am only saying I am truely sorry for using vulgar language and offending others.  I know this may not mean much being that I have appologized before but time will tell the story in my favor.
 I can say a saying that I believe has come true in a way.  They say that if you bring your children up in the church that they may stray.  However, one day later in life will come back to their roots.
Thanks to all for reading this and to the ones I have offended I am truly sorry.

Gilbert,

Welp, you struck a cord with me of coarse and I commend you
for your sincerity. Sincere remorse deserves forgiveness. Yes
we ALL do bad things, there is no way around it. And each time we do, no matter how many times we've done it before, as long as we are sincere in our hearts God and Christ always
forgives. So should we.
May you be blessed in your future endevours and led by Christ
all the way home,

God Bless!

How can anyone possibly buy that crap?!  Don't bring God in to this.  That's insulting.  If you prayed and asked for His forgiveness, then that's between YOU and HIM.  Don't try to bring it here and decieve everyone here again.  Here's an idea.....you might try to SHOW that you've changed.  Anyone can say it, and you already have once!  I haven't even been involved in this, but it really gets to me when ppl try to pull this crap.  Unbelieveble.
 
Lucas,
I believe God is in everything. But you are correct, Gilbert should be viewed by his future actions and not his speech. If he uses his speech to increase the change in his pocket, he will be much worse off than had he kept his mouth shut.

Gilbert Thompson contacted me to buy some alligators from me, I sell on kingsnake uncer cmj reptiles. I didn't sign my name on the end of the emails, and i wouldn't send him pics because they were already posted. So i get some terrible responses from him, using crude and profane language. My father is a police officer and so are all of my uncles and they do not go around flashing it around, they are humble people. As for me and my family we are also believers in Christ and his forgiveness, so i can forgive him. i know what this industry can do to people..including myself. Gilberts future actions will show if he is sincer or not.

Oh, where is Tammy Faye Bakker when you really NEED her??? lmao

You guys have GOT to be kidding.... it's amazing to me how every death row inmate miraculously finds Him AFTER they get caught! Oh, and let's not forget all the professional boxers of the world.... "I'd like to thank God for giving me the strength to beat the living sh!t out of my opponent!" ....lmao

Guys, don't get me wrong.  I completely believe in God, and I do my best to follow what he teaches.  But, I think it's quite obvious that this guys is USING this to try to get another chance for some reason.  Why on earth would anyone believe him when he's been acting like he has, and has continued to act this way all the way up until this post.  It's not like he's tamed for 2 weeks, or left for 2 weeks, and come back.  Also, I really don't think it matters if he gets another shot here.  It's not like us remembering him as the person he has shown himself to be countless times is going to keep him from giving him a second chance in life, or keep society from accepting him or something.  Gilbert, you've proven what you are here.  It really doesn't matter.  Just move on!  I don't buy one word of that apology.  I think this guy has some major issues, and I wouldn't put a penny his hand for an animal!  I also believe God is in everything, and with everyone.  But...there's also a lot of the other guy out there.  I sure as heck don't think ol' Gil has found anything.  My point is, don't go running around and saying you're a "born again Christian" and TELL everyone how holy you have now become.  Show it!  And don't even try to guild us in to forgiving you.
 
AMEN!!!! <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I couldnt have said it better myself Lucas!!!!
 
Took the words right out of my mouth Lucas.

Ritchie, no offense to you or your judgement, but based on Gilbert's actions(and also in part on another "apology" recently posted by someone else), I seriously doubt he has changed that quick after one night of "prayer."  And please, if you have seriously changed your spots, great, say so and be done.  But I have found more often than not that those who claim to have SUDDEN changes of heart like yours use religion as a smoke screen/guilt trip to get everyone to forget your past transgressions.  

But best of luck if you truly have changed your ways Gilbert...

We shall see...
 
Boy it must be time to lock down this thread! I am getting nauseus reading the crap that Gilbert is posting and those of you who feel obligated to accept his apology because he brings religion into this? That is very sad. Above and beyond religion, wether you believe or you do not, you have to have the common sense to realize that people lie about and use the tenants of the religion to get away with murder and so many other things. When someone does commit a crime and says that they have repented and found the way, he is not released from jail. That is simply because you have an obligation to society as well. As one non-Christian I am offended that the religion is even a part of this discussion and feel personally that this is not the place for it. Evan Stahl
 
Thanks to all for understanding!  I know there are some skeptics here and I totally understand that.  I can't blame you for feeling that way.
 I can say I have changed my life and feel great.  Things don't get under my skin like before and I feel like alot of weight has lifted off of my shoulders.
 I am not using this to gain trust.  I stated that in my reply!  The only reason I did it is this one.  I honestly felt a burden on my heart to put the experience on here.  I cannot explain what happened.  I just cried, prayed and put all my heart into it.  It was just not the situation on this forum.  There is alot of other stuff, as well.  I felt immediately relieved and my family could tell as soon as we were thru.  I felt the warmest and most happy feeling.  Just like that!!
 I am not a sacreligous person and would never give up my salvation for a few dollars or my reputation.  To be quite honest that stuff really means nothing to me now.  All I think about is how to do better and live a life for the Lord Jesus Christ.  So far it is the happiest I can remember being.
For the ones that are skeptical!  Try praying and asking the Lord to guide you in makeing a decision about me or if my apology is for real.  I believe with all my heart you will be shown I am being honest with everyone.
Everyone is also right I have alot of proving to do!!!  I can say this it will be easy with the Lord on my side.
Thank you for reading!
Gilbert Thompson
 
That is an all time new low.  Did he or did he not just tell us to contact God to verify the sincerity of his apology?  That's like putting God down as a personal reference on a job application!

I have now, truthfully, seen everything!

Unfreakinbelievable!
 
No comment other than I can see no reason for this thread to continue on the path it is taking.
 
Field collecting

Can't say as I've dealt with Gilbert....tried some trades but backed out on at the last minute so I can't say either way.

The field collecting I do have opinion on.....collard lizards could invade the west by tens of millions and those little bug eating machines would only make life better!

If someone wants to collect and breed I feel that's money earned and acceptable but to catch wild creatures with one hand and sell them with the other is a crock......especially with no acclimation or anything. If someones going to get a bag and scour the woodlands and deserts for something make it bottles and cans....wouldn't we all like to see more animals and less trash? But there's no money in that......there's always debate when it comes to animals about "controlling the population, thinning the heard" far as I'm concerned the human population needs controlled if anything 1) animals aren't destroying the planet 2) count the number of dumbass people you come across in a 24HR period.

As for the DNR and collection regulations ect ect.......seems like in any given situation they've got good intentions but go about things back asswards.

This was totally off subject and I apologize but it got to me and I had to comment......take care everyone, no harm meant.
 
lol.....yeah well, we've all had a deal or two we second guessed ourselves on at the last minute. I wasn't thrilled about it obviously but there wasn't a gain or loss either way.....I racked it up to "feces occurs" and moved on.

Take care all.
