    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

GREGORY BOWMAN AKA thedietcokeguy BAD GUY and should be avoided by all means

Thanks Steve,
That's really all I was asking all along. No one ever answered my questions and I am satisfied. If you are doing everything that you can in your power to resolve this and not tell the customer just too bad, then I don't see the problem. Thanks for clarifying.
Tom Baker


Tom,

The reason I never answered this was since Gregory wanted to make a federal case out of this I figured lets do it for real.
I was making contacts with the USDI and California Fish & Game to get involved, spoke to a few people and left messages that got unanswered. Anyway I wasn't hearing anymore from Gregory and being a very busy person I let it go. If he wants to push this any further I have no problem with dealing with the USDI as I would just tell them the truth as I have told the board here the truth about this whole matter.
Gregory on the other hand has not been very truthful and for his own good he should just be quiet now and stop threatening everyone with Law Suits.

This has gone on way to far in my opinion.
 
hhhmmmm
is it true?
A girl is sedning paypal payments with Gregory Bowman's Paypal account?
Is Gregory Bowman posing as a girl now?
Say it isn't so.
 
User SnakeModel is being questioned.

Wow.... I hope this doesnt come back and bite me. But I shipped some snakes to him last week. Received signature for delivery

what contact info do you have, did you deal directly with Greg? Do you have any ph#s or email addresses that he/they used? thank you
 
Gregory Bowman and

Contacted me about some bloods we were selling and suppose to send deposit, didn't happen and then contacted 9 days after first contact asking if I got the deposit (which i would have checked on right away but ok) and then mad and starting with names and other stuff because I didn't hold for him just because he said "consider them sold" without a deposit and then contacted today on Fauna from a SNAKE MODEL with all of my and Gregory Bowman's conversation we had on fauna before emailing through my email directly. Something is definitely not right and didn't see this thread till after my first correspondence with him.

N

o, you don't nor do you have any future business with a group of buyers. I really don't care.

God Bless you, and have a great week.

Sharie.

Thank you,

Keep taking shots, I don't have to
take them. Plain and simple we don't hold without
deposit and didn't get it. We sent numerous messages
apparently you didn't get them. If you want some of
what is left I will be wholesaling out about half of the
group if not no big deal either. They have been going
out the door pretty good already.

SnakeModel - The fake woman (Bowman), approached me about buying a group of snakes. Kept sending offers to buy the "whole group", said things like "consider them sold" (just like Monster Cages mentioned).

Bowman- "may I paypal you a deposit, consider them sold."

His fake girl profile had about 6 other "visitor comments" of people trying to touch base with "him" about selling their snakes to him. He must have hit up all kinds of people with promises to buy. His PM box was full, never would leave email or phone number. His SnakeModel account has now changed the profile picture from a girl at a bar to dogs, and he has deleted all the "visitor messages".

Loser!!:ack2:
 
This really does suck that someone is such a lowlife to try and mess over people over reptiles. In this industry we try to better the animal/breed of things that we are working with. We try to keep everyone honest in the business that we run and then people like this ruin it for all of us.

Where is this guy at right now. Shouldn't he be on here so we can hear his side of the story?

Greg, Come out of the woodwork now, You have been caught at all of your scandals.
 
SnakeModel, Sharie says she is his fiancé. We have had some, um, interesting PMs (including what I perceive as veiled threats and requests to cease contact).

Proof of ID is being requested.
 
User has read the PM and we have entered the 24hr time frame to provide proof of ID. "She" seems to be unwilling to do so based on the last PM I received and once again makes threats towards me/the place where I work.

So instead of continuing discourse via email, I will repeat here - "Sharie" you have 24hrs to provide proof of ID or your account will be banned.

I'm not trying to second guess you April, and respect whatever you decide, but I think if someone is making threats toward you they should be gone now.
Speaking for myself, I'd much rather have you, than them.
 
Proof of ID was provided for a Sharie Green so the account will stand, in that regard.
 
I really hope all this chatter about Sharie and Greg is BS, because I'm in the middle of a sale with him.
The correspondence I've had with him so far seems positive, I've received payment through paypal and shipped the package through FedEx with Delivery Signature to him today. As far as I am concerned, only time will tell if the comments you folks are making about him being a bad guy are valid.

Greg is using an account that is not his on Fauna. That is violation of ToS. He is doing this because he has existing threads on Fauna that do not look favorably on him. He attacked multiple people for refusing sales with him by threatening them with lawyers, threatening their careers and other nonsense same as he did in the older threads. I am not sure what part of this would be BS.

Cease contact? You are moderator on this site. You have no choice but to do your job and contact. They CHOSE to come to this site. If they do not want contact, they can chose to leave.

You do realize he has received animals and then filed a charge back right? That wasn't just "chatter". Use the search function. This is not the only thread on the guy.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what Seller Protection is for in the Paypal TOS, The payment he made to me is supposed to be protected from a so called charge back.

Also I did my research on him and all the info I could find was dated 2005 and prior, I read some of the 22 page BOI and find the entire situation was blown way out of proportion by all the parties involved.

Like I said 'time will tell.' I'm an optimistic person and don't feel a 8 year old thread should prevent a person, whom to me appears to really care about animals, from ever conducting business in this hobby.

As April stated earlier, ID was provided for Sharie Green. We realize that the only thing that proves is that there is a Sharie Green close enough to the account to supply the requested "proof". It doesn't guarantee that Sharie is the one using the account...and it isn't much of a stretch to believe it is actually Mr Bowman since he's doing all the emailing. (I don't remember if he's responding to PMs, as well). That said, it's pretty difficult most of the time to say with certainty who is posting when it is known that more than one person is involved.
