    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....

Inquiry Inquiry on Todd Gearheart

A whole bunch of people have prepaid Re-Todd for S. gigantea and S. viridicornis
Centipedes that never arrive. Then, after six months of waiting, they're offered something common that he has in stock. He doesn't give refunds. EVER. Yet, this bird says he's "one of the best dealers I've dealt with ...." P.T. Barnum was correct when he said, "There's a sucker born every minute." :yesnod:
Click to expand...
This "bird" said that because my transaction was handled in a way that was satisfactory to me and my situation. I didn't ask for a refund as I knew it probably wasn't going to be taking place. However I did end up with several different species of pede that were just as interesting and the dollar amount came out the same. That's all I wanted.

As I said, Todd handled my situation in a way that I was pleased, and handled it in a timely manner when I told him it needed to be done. That equaled great customer service to me, and my situation. I'll stick to that to this day. Have I ordered from Todd recently? No, I'm no longer into the inverts. Would I purchase something that Todd had in stock should I ever get back into said inverts? Yes I would. But it would have to be in stock. I'd never prepay for anything ever again. That goes for Todd and/or any other dealer in the hobby.
 
re todd

I know many people in Arizona that Todd has done bad business with. I know at least 3 people he owe thousands to because of the same situation. he wants all your money up front and has no animals to show for anything.

Spell Check is a good thing. Try using it.

Yeah....name them.....some would say 'you doth protest to mach'

Learn how to spell and how to write in complete sentences before you criticize other people who have the courage to come forward about their and others bad dealings with Re-Todd.:shootfoot I've read a few posts where you've called him every name but a Child of God. Now that you've gotten paid off (or back) you and Re-Todd are thick as thieves, huh :yesnod:
And parroting "name them" doesn't bolster your credibility any.:NoNo: Polly wanna cracker!
 
Yeah Johnnie my mispelled quote was Thor giving Iron man some stuff......yup i had a disagreement with Todd and gave him some grief....but Johnnie, oh Johnnie sometimes people come to a mutual understanding....but yeah Johnnie you seem a lil off....remember drink some water with your saltines
Anybody can say anything...hell Johnnie people can say YOU are a bad guy...if that was true you would wsnt to face your ....accusers....so Johnnie peal that banana ...stop thumping your chest...eat that banana....it will be ok Johnnie you will still be able to put the prefix "re" in front of other folks names
 
Apparently at some point in your "disagreement" with Gearheart, his slander campaign broke you down like a shotgun. After which you made the offer "Todd, if you stop telling lies about me, I'll stop telling the truth about you." And you've been his cheerleader ever since. You idolize and quote macho comic book characters because you yourself are a childish c_nt without integrity

Really man...is that all you got....broke me down like a shotgun.....never happened tool...those that know me here and there know the truth...really you should stick to suing or trying to sue doctors for a botched operation you freak....or trying to fix your theft arrests....yeah your record is all over google....a good Jerry Springer hilarious read joanie or johnnie [guess that depends on what bathroom you use on any given day of the week]
To all others here Todd has more than made up for any disagreement we may have had in the past.....I have done numerous trades with him since and as far as Todd.....I gotta say he has earned my respect when he deals with me....I have been in the game for about twenty or thirty years and my rep is awsome.....I dont deal with tools or cads....
I will add another thing...if it is in stock buy it
 
Goodbye, Mr Cuoco. I'm sort of surprised that you won that race (I figured you and Todd would get the boot at the same time, actually). Your accumulated infractions triggered a one year ban...I suggest you try to operate within the rules if you return after that time.
 
That name calling isn't going to be well tolerated here. You guys need to name anyone you know who has had transactions with the seller, or don't mention them at all.

And, the original quote is actually "doth protest too much" , spoken by Queen Gertrude in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Noelle
 
yes you are right....I let my angry idiocy get the better of me...apologies to all that read me ranting.....also the original was shakespear as you stated....I was just remembering Thor saying that to iron man...and Thor said it a lil different
 
Can't say I'm sad to see Cuoco shown the door. I do find myself wondering if any of you have taken the time to do a Google search on "John A Cuoco". If one were so inclined to do just that, one may notice two very interesting links on the very first page of that search. While there's no specific relevance to reptiles, I think that those links provide more than enough information for people to get a good feel for just what kind of person he is, and just how much credibility Mr.(?) Cuoco actually has. Also, it may be a glimpse into both the depths of his instability and the lengths to which he's willing to go to try to twist any given situation to his own benefit.
 
Todd is still posting species he doesn't have on hand for sale, taking money for animals he doesn't/won't have.

Buyer beware, don't get taken!

Jason,

I agree with you, it is not stated in the ads and when people have inquired via email or phone, I told them those were stock pics and they still wanted the anoles What Jerry lied about was saying that I said they were the actual animals. I never said nor listed an ad like that. That is a bold-faced lie.

As for Jerry's request for pics, nothing wrong with that at all. I agree.

What was wrong was the manner and rudeness in which he did and how he treated me.

Per a phone call I just had from a Fauna member here, they said Jerry has a brash rep and hot head here and I sure got that impression from his comms as well.

Not all New Yorker's are bad. Some are good friend's of mine, but most know the type that I'm referring to - the rude ones. Everybody knows that type.
Click to expand...

And people from Florida are better? Not rude? Your an idiot man. Yea,I live in Ny and take offense to your lame remarks. Rude people live in every state. Use your head.
 
I have many T's and so glad I'm not buying from you. Just due to your remarks about New Yorkers. I'll also make sure my t friends see your remarks also.

Comments : Todd was very professional throughout the purchase process. He adjusted to my chaotic schedule regarding shipping without hesitation. The animals are top notch. Packing was professional in a new bow(unlike some who reuse beaten up boxes many times). Todd also offered up other species that were available in a professional manner without being a pushy salesman which was refreshing. Todd maintained contact throughout the multiweek process which was my fault. I find Todd to be knowledgeable with the animals, the business and shipping. I would not hesitate to recommend Todd to a friend. I will happily purchase from Todd again.

Lucky you. Unfortunately there are many disappointed buyers out there!!
 
Rich... Cmon bro. Show a little tact. It is common reference that People from Texas think that they are the best, Southerners are stupid and bang their sisters, Yankees are rude ( if They weren't the phrase Southern Hospitality wouldn't exsist +1 ), Its a generalization. Its not like he used the N word. I feel like your digging for an argument and bashing his positive remarks with "Lucky you. Unfortunately there are many disappointed buyers out there!!". Childish at best.
