    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 Mike Matson of Mike's Phat Frog is a scammer !!

There is a real difference between Matson's posts and my own. I believe his posts of late have been egregious attempts to be so rude that people, afraid of being mocked, will simply stop posting.
And the ruder he is, the more one has touched on a nerve.

This behavior of his when he wants to continue to do business is pretty amazing as the negative impact of a bad reputation are well known to drive down sales as well as the profit margin of a product for long periods of time. Its a well studied phenomena.

I do know that given what I've seen here in his several recent threads I'd have to suggest to anyone I know not to purchase from him and to ask resellers to ensure that any of their animals didn't originate with Mike.

So did you skip over the parts that Rick threatened to call animal control Ect if I shipped them back knowing that he wouldn't except them.

This thread is pointless.

Can we get a real judge involved in this like I've been asking Rick too? Lol

What does that matter? You are the one that reneged on the deal! He shouldn't have to come up with a place to keep them--YOU purchase them and then FAILED to uphold your end of the deal!

You don't take ANY responsibility for your actions, do you!?!? SMDH...

And his actions are impacting his ability to make money specifically this quote from this thread http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1918879&postcount=260

Due to recent outrageous acts committed by Mr. Mike Matson brought to our attention ,thanks in part, by this very thread and many vendors. We at the Reptile Super Show have decided to implement a ban on Mr. Matson and Mikes Phat Frogs. The Reptile Super Show team can not , in good conscience, allow the aforementioned part to attend or vend at any of our events. The actions displayed not only cause a safety concern, but the young girl being attacked is a longtime attendee, vendor and friend. We simply cannot ignore the level of attack and bullying we have witnessed by Mr. Matson. Cyber bullying is becoming a serious issue in this country and its one we feel very strongly about. So with that being said we feel this is the right thing to do for the show and the attendees. Mr. Matson please do not come to any future shows as you will be denied entry upon arrival. I hope other show promotors follow in our foot steps and do the same. Mike you are a disgrace to our industry and to the future to our industry(the kids).

So much for a bad reputation not affecting sales.

So here are a few threads to review. I hope that others will add their own thread collections which can be reposted whenever it seems as if the subject strays and gets buried:

Since this has gotten lost again...
 
Just an fyi. Mike matson got banned from using his own facebook page. I can only assume it's due to his cyber bullying of a minor.

Jay pretty sure you were just banned on here correct?

My 36 hr Facebook ban was due to resharing a post. I will be back on shortly. A Facebook live video will be out soon. What's funny is you are blocked on my page. So someone is stocking me. Lol
 
Now I am going to ignore these post again. It shows how nuts some of you are about me.

Jay you never called back. Your threats are weak.

Stay tuned to the Mike matson Facebook page this Friday. There will be a great live video.

Yes I was for accumulation of points. 12 in like 6 years. No one is stalking you mike. And there is more to come. How many times have you been banned from fauna??? Under how many aliases? Also for how long??? I tell you what I don't do... Make videos about people. I will be addressing your post that was removed from facebook shortly I have the screenshots of it from before it was removed. I will spend as much time as I deem necessary and appropriate in sticking up for a little girl who is being ganged up on and bullied.
 
Jay I will make a special Thread about you. Most likely Saturday and it will be beautiful. I really don't want to do it but your consistent upkeep on my threads is leaving me no choice. I won't respond back and forth on here. Stay tuned for the post
 
I received a final payment from Mike today on an old debt. He did not have to step up and do this, it could have been ignored forever. Good job Mike.
