    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 Hurricane Exotics: Adam G.

I fell off the face of the earth while moving into a new condo, dealing with losing my family as a married Man with a 4 year old son. and Im not Crying BOO-HOO on here for a pitty party worth shit. I have a super busy Life, TWO JOBS... One as a Manager in a Health Food store and a Barber cutting mens hair on my Days off as well. I DO HAVE A LIFE aside from the TONS of animals in which I own and with all the Drama that has happened in the past year , I overlooked the Fauna Situation and may have mentally put this aside and forgot to deal with it especially losing my Mother to Breast Cancer recently.
Until the BOI, man, Harald REMINDED ME TO DEFEND MYSELF. The dust has settled in my life and now I Did. Im fully dedicated to my business in which I also owned a Dog Wash and Grooming facility in Atlanta, "Shampooch Palace". So the undenying LOVE I have for animals is 100% in my heart as well as compassion for people. But everyone seems to be Judge and Jury without knowing ANY FACTS. Thanks Guys.
 
Adam, you have done so many things wrong here and made excuses for all of them. You have lied, dodged, ducked, weaved, and dodged.

No cropped photos? Where did this attachment come from? Where did you disclose the dragon had a hurt wrist? How come you've not answered Harald's question?

Fauna, apparently, was good enough for you to post ads on. Now that your sales are suffering as a result of this poorly handled transaction and exposed questionable practices, you've come back to defend yourself again.

Ive been waiting for a resolution for Days. But your quick to respond PUBLICLY about ranting and BASHING. How Nice.

Ide love to see how you do business as well MJOHNSON.

Seriously, Adam? The ignorance was yours...he responded to you within minutes, using the same vehicle as you, yet you bashed him.
 
You've been waiting for a resolution for days?

wtf? OP texted you, Harald emailed you, and nothing for MONTHS! Dude responded within 5 minutes and you put him down?

Look, you need to send him some dragons. But then, you either need to stop calling yourself a professional or start acting like one.
 
Which still can be done. None of this was proposed at all. I admit by myself as well. I will work things out on my own AS a profession and I will try to be more like Rob. You are the Man Rob. So I shouldn't have "come back" to defend myself? Or should I instigate and interrogate on Reptile forums for a living. Ill handle this... Thank You very much.
 
All right, Adam!

Look, I hope you make it right with the OP. I think you need to. I've seen enough to never want to deal with you, and now that we're at 3000 views I would guess I am not alone.

Your last response really proved my points. Thanks for your time.

Well Im sorry, but People who actually READ this whole thread and not the LAST PAGE. And Indeed how you instigated from the get-go did not help. I am glad to know that when people are "competetor's" or have NO LIFE, act in this matter... such as your self. I will make it RIGHT as to my best ability with the OP, Thank You very much. As Ive always done with an unhappy customer. I will Pray for you as much as I can Rob. You Truly are somethin' else.

Always someone out there to antagonize, instigate, and get a Rise out of you.

As I scratch my Head... I wonder which direction my Elbow is POINTING AT.
 
Personal attacks really aren't going to help you here, Adam.

It has taken a lot of posts to get you to reach out to the OP, but I am glad that you did. Please let the Board know of the resolution.

And yet you bash me for trying to help!

It would be easy for me to say " Crucify " you, and to follow the jabs, insults etc.... But yet I tried to stay neutral and not follow that route and give you the benefit of the doubt.

It doesn't effect me that you don't want my help or anyone else's to resolve this. that's fine! But there are not alot of people out there that would offer it either!

My girlfriend purchased a gala red female bearded dragon from Hurricane exotics, Adam G. for my birthday with intentions to breed. Upon receiving the dragon we noticed that she had a swollen wrist and about two inches of her tail was bent, and she walked rather odd. We asked him about it and he told us it was all nothing to worry about, she had had it since she was a baby. We trusted his word, but after a short time she stopped eating and began sleeping all the time. After doing some research of our own concluded that she could have MBD (metabolic bone disease) Once again we asked him about it, and wondered if we should see a vet. He strongly discouraged us to do that and told us she couldn't possibly have it. We couldn't ignore what was going on with her and decided to take her to the vet. His diagnosis was that she had a severe case of MBD. I tried contacting Adam G. From Hurricane exotics on several occasions after that and he never replied. He frequently posts to kingsnake and I would like to discourage anyone from buying from him. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else.

Michael, please let us know how this is resolved.
 
And Sofaking, I personally Thank you and those whom have stuck up for me, as well as the others pin pointing the neutralization in this matter. However, understand the frustration from both Parties as well. The one's who got involved only to cause DRAMA, and this could have been handled a lot easier. Thank You all again, and will do better to handle any concerns, comments, or complaints in a more timely manner and punctually as well. As an INTELLIGENT human Being :)

Sincerely,
Adam

I'll take that as an apology Adam, and your welcome.

Hope things work out well between both of you!

It shows character when you can take things from situations like this and use them to better yourself, especially to publicly say it!
 
An apology in combination of a Thank You & for understanding. Could have done this ages sooner, I guess everyone has to word their opion and defend their case somehow.

Namasté
&
God Bless.
 
I am writing to update everyone on what has most recently happened with this whole ordeal. Adam contacted me personally and we both came up with something that would work for the both of us and fix this thing altogether. He agreed to pay me back for the vet bill which was very much appreciated. I am so pleased that he did this for us in order to help out and I have respect for him for doing so. He also sent me a new leatherback juvi bearded dragon. I unboxed her today and I have to say that I couldn't be happier with the lizard. She came out of the box very wide eyed, alert, and healthy. We are very happy that Adam has done this for us. It would have been easy to turn away from us and ignore the issue but he faced it and made it right for us. I wouldn't have a problem recommending Adam's business to anyone seeking a new snake or a new beardie as this little girl he sent us is beautiful.

Thanks again Adam

To approach the Final Decision in how this was handled.... I recently refunded the buyer Last Week for the Vet Costs, as well as sent out a Leatherback Female to them Yesterday, as it arrived today FREE OF CHARGE and Payed for Shipping.

I can handle happy customers, but UNHAPPY Customers will NOT BE IGNORED. Once again this was my fault for overlooking the situation and allowing it to prolong until I was further reminded by B.O.I. I hope to continue to have Happy Customers and to approach any unhappy one's will be dealt with in an IMMEDIATE & Professional manner. As I wish to have mutual & Respectful Transactions. As for the Dragon having MBD, no excuse. I bought her to resell her, in which in the END... Got screwed. Yet I am humble to say IM SORRY.

Thank You again Mike and for your understanding. (as you wrote this the same timeI was writing mine).
