    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....

I purchased a 10 lot of red eye tree frogs from Josh back in September. The frogs were delivered on time and were well packaged. No run-around, no skanky animals, no problems.
I wouldn't think you would have any issues with FYB.

I HOPE THEY LEARNED

I purchased two blood pythons over a year ago. Both arrived dead.

He sent another, but it arrived dead as well.

He was NOT wanting to refund my money as a result, but he did a partial refund.

I would not do business with FYB exotics in FL.

There is a thread about this whole incident on fauna somewhere, you might want to do a search to find it.

This all happened a year ago, so maybe they are a better business now as a result. I don't know!
 
Blood Pythons

The incident with the blood pythons happened a year ago when I was just getting started. I though we had squashed that whole thing. Since then I have dumped business partners and have upgraded my business and strived to provide the best quality animals. I would appreciate it if more of my satisfied customers would speak up on the boi. Believe me there are alot of satisfied people I have dealt with out there. Scott collien if you are so immature that you can't just let things go I really think you should grow up. Men speak to other men to their face not through others. If anyone has a problem with me I invite them to speak their mind. Thank you for your comments good or bad but I will say this I am more fair and a better source of quality animals for the best price than almost anyone else.

after our deal goes threw I will make sure i put the word out , and be 100% truthful about our whole transaction , for good or worse. i know its been a year but i still feel like im takeing a chance on you and all due respect that is what i am doing. but i know this is going to smooth and im looking foward to my new geckos.
 
Josh, the difficulties with the blood pythons still happened and anyone considering a purchase should be aware of it. A single bad incident around a year ago with fresher ones which were reported to be good probably won't change anyone's mind about doing business with you.

One thing you have to decide though is if YOU want to do business with Vince, http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33087 is a thread which has some impact on entering a transaction with him as a seller. His behavior isn't exactly the type of thing which most sellers would want to risk in order to sell a couple fat tails.
 
DUDE WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?? just so you know, even this is has nothig do to with our deal , chris steele emaild me and was asking if i still wanted to purchase his geckos even tho all you guys blew it out of proprtion. and we are currently working on a deal. geez some of you guys can be real jerkoffs
 
"our deal" = the deal with me and josh

and if you have doubts check my list off feedbacks that i have collected, damn 8 good deals out 8 , all went nice and smooth and both partys where very happy on each and every one. try and take your head out of your ass for a minute. everything between me and chris steele is great. everything between me an fyb is great. im not some giant jackass like you that i cant look past old bull sh"t get over your self
 
since you took it opon your self to post about me and my quality as a buyer , why dont you take a look at your self and you excecive warning points for being such a nice guy your self. do you have fun bashing others or what? it sure seems like it
i tryd emailing you to talk about it but it seems you dont want to talk 1 on 1 , i was just trying to figure out what your problem was?

Vince, I'm having difficulties with emails sent via Fauna forms, the message I got from you had no message.

However... I really have no desire to speak with you about anything in any format other than this forum and these threads. Chances are pretty good I would have ignored whatever you wrote anyway.

You chose to conduct yourself in a certain manner, others should be made aware of this. Had I not happened upon the thread when I did, doubtless someone else would have posted the link. Fauna is about protecting both buyers and sellers from scams, headaches and lost profits. A few days doesn't really constitute "in the past" when your pattern of behavior has clearly not changed, as is evidenced by the repsonses you gave in this very thread.
 
blah blah blah, get off your high horse, your really pathetic,

when i said in the past i was talking about his snake sale that went wrong a year ago,



my thing happend like 4 days ago but thanks for being a smart guy and reminding me. if the people who are directly involved with the incident chris steele and my self are fine and doing bussiness with each other , then you should get over it your self , chris even offerd to email josh and let him know what the real deal is.

and what i said in the email is , why would you attack me i am an honest guy who does great deals, and you are stabing me in the back, why not save your little attacks for someone who deserves it. take your head out of your ass for a min, one premature post in no way makes me any kind of risk, try looking at my feedback did some great deals with great results, you are just a trigger happy fool if you think other wise. put to each his own , im glad you feel free to post your opinon this is what the board is about, but ether way it wasnt nessary but your to full of your self to admitt it. and times change, people dont, ill always be who i am , but i never once scamed someone or even thought about it, reptiles have been a big part of my life since i was a little boy now that im older i very much enjoy buying selling and tradeing herps online , and i take it very personal when someone attacks my credablity. and you saying how you would just ignore my attempt to make peace with you and conversate in a grown up matter one on one just shows what kind of pompas jackass you really are. no hard feelings tho , take care

Josh,

What Scott did is not immature in any fashion. Someone posted an inquiry about your business and Scott posted a link to his dealings with you. That is what this site is for. Maybe you have alot of happy customers now that should post on here on your behalf but Scott felt it necessary to post the link regarding his situation. Maybe you should read his post a little closer and see that he is saying that this incident was a year ago and you might be a better business now because of that incident.

I have to agree with you Rob 100%

As for Semus, I dont think what you did was out of line persay, however it was borderline incitment soo to speak.

While I agree 100% that Vince is on my do not sell to list, I dont know that I would go soo far as to post in every thread his name pops up in. To me it came off a bit like you were trying to start something with him.

Im not attacking you, or disagreeing with your right to speak your mind. However if it were me, and I felt that strongly, I may have sent a private email to the seller. However posting it on a public forum out of the blue like you did, Im sure you were aware you were going to draw a responce from Vince, and that it would likely turn into what it has.

Just my opinion

Rob

Josh, an inquiry was made, I posted my deal with fyb

Rob, I think Josh just lost his cool a little bit. Easy to do for a young guy new to the business.

I do now days, give FYB the benefit of the doubt, as I said, it happened a year ago and they might be better now days. I do hope the "knee jerk" reaction attitude improves a little as well.

I'm not going to reply about the comments that were made by josh towards me on a personal level, that's not what this forum is for!

Hopefully some people will come forth and post their experiences regardless of what they were.

I'm NOT stating they are bad news, just posting my experiences as someone asked.

I'm sure there are good posts to be made on FYB's behalf as well.

Hope all goes well Josh!

'

why am i on your "do not sell list" and why the hell is that even matter in this thread? i mean lets be real man, CHRIS CONTACTED ME AND EXPLAINED A FEW THINGS, AND WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT DEALS NOW, AND FUTURE DEALS, why would you take it so far as not to do business with me? like I'm sort of scam artist scum bag who rips people off and robes people, the only thing i did is post a thread that could of been totally different if i add the word "posable" to the front of "bad deal" i came on here looking for advice instead i get bashed. I mean you and me have no deals or anything planed but i would like you to reconsider how you feel about me. there are a lot of bad guys out there and i dot want any one to hold me in the same esteem as them. I have nothing against you if you still hate me or wont do business with me for worrying and making that post in haste. or for me being a little bit of an A-hole some times. because when it comes down to it I'm a good guy. and if you still want to judge me on something so insignificant then i truly wouldn't want to do business with you ether.
 
Your on my do not sell list due to your simming recklessness in your posts here.

I have work MANY years to earn the respect of the others in this industry. I have also taken great pains to avoid any hint of dirt on my name. As such some people are better avoided then sold to.

If a person is known to be hard to please or impatient their dealings, many people may shy away from that person rather then risk any problems in the future.

The problem you had with Chris to start the whole issue could have easily happened with me. In fact I have had just that situation happen TWICE in the last few months. Sometimes shippers let us down, not to mention weather. As such that could have easily been my name you started a thread on. And just because you retracted your statements, and started a Good Guy thread, doesnt mean you didnt still do damage in the future. Anyone doing a word only search will now see that thread if they search Chris's name.

Do a name search on yurself. Then do one on Chris. If you like do one on me. In fact look at the dates on them, then think about what your thread could do in the future long after you forgot about it.


Just my opinion.

alright man ,i guess you wont budge huh, not to good on the forgive and forget thing are you. well just keep my name at the top so you remember not to sell me anything incase i slip up and try and buy something from you, take care of your self and be careful what you say becuse maybe one day you might slip up and some guy will give you a hard time and start telling everyone not to sell reptiles to you.

I find it funny that he has been here longer than you.
And you have more warning points than he does.
And yet you want to call attention to his points?


peace out
