    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....

Bad Guy Michael Lawton

I would never assume something as truth based on a 3rd party's comment. However, screenshots of you explaining that the horribly skinny snakes were probably due to the crypto you suspect was brought into your collection from another seller... as Mike says that's "you said you said"

Post #31. You sold snakes to someone and they had crypto, whether they came from you or you flipped them it doesn't matter. I'll include just a few tips for you in case you stick around in the hobby, because obviously others haven't made things clear enough.

1- Don't sell reptiles with crypto, and if in the event you're flipping something, don't pass the buck onto who you purchased them from because you didn't quarantine them and it's something you didn't catch. Your fault. Don't make excuses for crappy practices.

2- Don't expect someone to hold an animal for you if they don't want to. It's their choice and just because they don't want to trust you doesn't mean they're a bad person. There's nothing wrong with first come, first serve whether you like that fact or not, especially when there are people like you around who appear to do a lot of tire kicking.

3. If you're going to come on here and tell people to grow up, do it yourself first. Get a steady job and stop depending on your parents for money, or stop trying to buy things you can't afford as evidenced by your bank sucking up someone's payment for an animal because you're in the red. You should be depositing funds in an account that isn't overdrawn and keeping it there until whatever warranty or guarantee you have on a snake has passed, and then you can play with the money. Also, if you set up paymenty plans with someone, pay on time or have a good reason why you didn't and communicate, don't disappear.

How annoying can people get, you ask? Stop being the problem and maybe less people will be annoyed, and like the others said, thanks for bumping this thread. Hope everything's more clear now, sunshine.

You nailed it Andrew. I think terms like tire kicker, and nightmare buyer/ seller
perfectly describe Michael. He is ALWAYS commenting in for sale posts on FB classifieds but appears to only have one or two het something cornsnakes and ball pythons. I can't tell if he is a teen still learning life lessons or if he is an adult suffering from diminished mental capacity. Either way, I would not buy or sell him anything.
 
Answer to that crypto question since when did that guy ever bring me paper or proving to me that that albino gopher snake had crypto.. A vet will give u paper work they just not give u paper work .. Just cuz he said the vet said it looked like crypto doesn't mean it is without proof.. When he emails me or messages me on facebook with pure proof that that she did I will send a refund .. No problem.. And I payed James his 800$ in snakes like he wanted and I gave Jolene 400$ in snakes that I was holding back.. Just to cover the craziness my friend did to me and desided it was ok too just send stuff to people not in his name and not take care of my stuff when I payed him to do so .. I ant the one that sent those at all it was him .. But I took a pair out of my hold backs from my collection and replaced them .. There is no reason she should be dragging this on .. I just found this now witch is why I'm commenting now.. And all half a million comments that are on here.. I feel like I did do everything I needed to.. Life has got alot better since before this happened .. I take care of my own stuff now.. And no retarted partner to screw things up for me.. Thanks for your concerns I appreciate it!
 
Wow....some people have no business dealing with live animals, and Michael Lawton seems to be at the top of the list. His constant begging and not paying for things aside, I see that as a blessing he never actually bought anything because thats less animals he can neglect. Get a new hobby, Michael. Preferably one that doesn't require you to communicate with people online.
 
Cuz I'm sick of people making me out to be a bad guy when I ant .. I started over now people can stop spreading false info about my collection having crypto cuz it doesn't and I'm not sure why u put this back on the main page for? But that was bs .. Y would u do that?

Hahaha, you can't be serious. You are the one who resurrected this thread which brought it back to the front page. You do see that right?
 
Yeah after I wrote that I did.. I'm a idiot,I haven't used fauna in years.. A friend just told me that someone was bashing me on here so thought id check that out.. Thanks for the reminder
 
Consider your snakes off mine and any of my friends and colleague's radars Lawton. Your behavior alone is enough to make buying snakes from you feel like GETTING crypto. I don't deal in corns thanks to GA law but man if I did I'd run from you like a hen from a burning barn
 
Melinda,
Anything over $250 is larceny, file a police report asap. Also file with the post master since you mailed the check, that's a clear cut felony charge.
 
Perhaps Matt Tipton? Is this guy from Tennessee? That guy used to do this all the time someone this persistent is usually him but I haven't heard his name come up for a while.
