    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Has anyone ever heard of Ariel Cudia?

One last thing ariel,

I second moose.

When you asked me if i was interested in some pinners at the All animal Expo and i told you i bought already from AC reps and Lac Herps and you went and gave me a look like they were no good that pissed me off because allen repashy and Anthony are some of the best breeders on the planet.

Your an idiot.

You might as well stop going to the all animal expo. You have probably lost a lot of customers there. because a lot of people who go there are on fauna.

Or

Come clean right now. Seriously. Start telling the truth and in a year maybe people will think of you differently man.

Sorry.
 
this is Jack Valenti (jackxc925) on ciliatus forums, repashy forums, and pangea forums. I am posting on Ariels bogus account, he is an embarrasment to gecko breeders
 
Maybe a Mod can close down Ariel's account or give him a new password so no one uses it without his permission.

Couldn't have said it any better than that. My cheeks are starting to hurt cuz the grin won't go away.
 
well i talked to Ariel about this at All animal expo . he said someone hacked him and the reason they have the same IP adress is cause it was from his work where he works with a ton of people and other computers.... he said they used his computer and he had to file a police report. he said he would be posting the report if people did not believe him . he said i knoow it looks bad and it looks like i did it . but hes like " Honestly its not me ". so i dont know what to believe...... i guess if he does have a police report i would probally believe him more .

I don't believe him. He did it, he's caught, and he could have easily lied on a police report. If I see an indictment that would change my mind.
 
umm he has lied to us how many times? countless!

why wouldn't he lie about a police report...

but lets just make this simple. "WE" will never know if it was him or not, but we all have admitted the fact he LIES! so whether or not it was him can we all conclude that hes a liar and not to be trusted? And that his reputation as a breeder has been thrown out the window?
 
well i wil probally be the only one to defend him . he has never lied to me. i hope that i never catch him lying to me . so far he has been good to me so until i have been done wrong by him. i will somewhat defend him . he does have good animals in my eyes . i have several of his animals and i love them .
 
wait a minute....

IF someone at his work posted the question...

"has anyone heard of Ariel cudia how is he?"

I think they would already have known what kind of person he is and its not that big of a world for a co worker not to know he works with Ariel. sounds fishy.
 
I believe that no explanations are needed for this ordeal, but apologies to everyone who has been affected and insulted by my arrogance and ignorance to this thread. Dr. Owen and Jim O, I extend my sincere apologies to the both of you the most. I did not mean to point fingers at you guys and accuse you of hacking. I do not ask for forgiveness from anyone who has been on this forum nor for anyone to be understanding. I rightfully deserve this defamation; therefore, I have nothing more to say except that I apologize.

Good night and farewell,
Ariel Cudia

p.s.
Once again, my sincere apologies to all.

Apologies are only sincere when you don't take away from them. Apologizing, than calling it defamation only cancels out the initial apology. It's only defamation if the accusations are NOT true.

So which is it? Are you sorry for deceiving people, or are we defaming you? Can't be both ways bud. Gotta be one or the other.

I believe it was simply an incorrect usage of the word. The apology sounded sincere to me.
 
apology or not I don't agree with his business practices and although the animals are beautiful I will take my business elsewhere.

Ariel, what a heart felt, sincere apology! Especially when you let your thread die down a little bit.... learn a LITTLE from your past experiences, and try something like this from a different internet connection so your IP address can't be specifically tracked back to you:
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101456
Also.... I'm sorry that I " have quite an imagination", and " watch too many detective shows" ( maybe you should watch a few more!)
I urge anyone who is planning to do business with Ariel to read the entire thread that this post has been made in, and to also read the entire thread linked to above with the assumption that the user 'Toto' is actually in fact Ariel Cudia attempting to pull one of his multiple personality schemes.
Good luck Ariel, you're gonna need it man.
 
To all of those who have read this thread and are planning on going to the NARBC in Tinley:

Ariel is vending there, but he has changed his business name fron Acurit Gecko Design to Aritonnic. Please be aware that this person is one in the same, so keep this thread in mind when dealing with him.
 
BAD PEOPLE!!!!!!!

Ariel Cudia is a very bad person, he lives in a one bedroom condo, with 3 kids and his wife, but supposedly is a "scientist"...he keeps baby geckos in a closet ...hundreds packed into a cage, him and his partners (DK Herps) Dan Budrecki and Christine are no better, they have HUNDREDS of animals packed into a studio apartment in wauconda,...frogs, snakes, leopard geckos, U NAME IT!!!they pack it in,...because "it is in style" These people lie and step on anyones toes to get ahead!!
