    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....

uninterested in pm or email. just meeting. will you be in hamburg or not ? very simple question. I fully realize I alone cannot prevent you from doing anything. and yes there are some out there that will sell to you without care or concern. I will simply do my part to lessen the impact you have on the herp community as much as possible. like I already stated bring your lies and deceit to the show I am always there the night before and am there bright and early in the AM. to state that people will continue to do business with you because no one knows you says it all. most of us can walk anywhere and proclaim who we are. you need to depend upon deception to get by. you are clearly starting out on the wrong foot and just running with it. one final thought, own up to what you have done, scrap everything up to this point, start over and clean the slate. maybe you have good intentions but that does not APPEAR to be the case. reread all of this thread and see if this is how you want to be known.
 
well we already started a new approach which none of yall have seen yet so see it was not for all but i am going to let this whole thing drop also and if i am there i am there i do not know what i am doing yet you do what you got to do and try and stop us which will not happen but to let you know we have started over with a new approach and you all will see it soon and noone was lying to noone snakeman so please get your facts straight befor calling someone a lier and if your not willing to be friendly and talk on here then there is no reason to talk in person plain and simple because if your not friendly from the start then there is no reason to even try in person there is no point so i am going to go now i got alot of things i need to do and if anyone wants to talk you know you can email me or pm me i am there ready to talk

Actually, Mike it did work. No Fauna reader with a pulse will ever be a customer of yours. If you weren't looking to be a 'huge name' in this business, then you wouldn't be making videos to address your 'fans.' As far as legal actions go, yes, I did try, and no, you clowns didn't technically break any laws. However, the second you fools mess up, everyone is going to know about it. It still blows my mind that I called animal control to report this scam and I didn't have to say anything. They knew everything, Mike, everything. Not a good way to start out in the biz, brother.

I'm in favor of locking this thread down too. I have more I can dish out to this blubbering idiot, but it doesn't matter anymore. The truth is all here. Mods, please work your magic...
 
Seth the reason they know about us is because of people like you wasting there time they even said it is a crying shame that when they get a call they know it is a wild goose chase because everything on my property is all in order to code and law and the reptiles are taking care of well with nice enclosures and safe enclosures it is a shame the haters waste there presious time when they got other things to do and it makes me sick when they get interupted off there cases and yes if we mess up we mess up but it will not be against the law what so ever but you did all you could do Seth if you want to dish more about nothing because you Sir like everyone else here knows nothing about what goes on here nor do you know us i told you many of times try and talk to either me and nick and we will talk with you and let you know anything you would like but you chose not to do it and stay here and insult people along with alot of people here and thats sick you call us childern how about you stop acting like them also and be a man and talk with us one on one and get the real story like a good little reporter or detective you are we offered for anyone here but noone yet except a few has emailed us and talked with us so stop the name calling and actually talk like an adult to us and you will know us and know what we are doing plain and simple
 
Mike, what in living hell are you trying to do? why did you only name me in the video? what did i ever do to you? nothing, you stupid fatass, if you think that you are going to send us a message with clips of a retarded lady that looks just like Nick's girl friend (i'm not even sure if she is his wife, i doubt Nick is able to afford a engagement ring for her fat fingers) only nicer, and some disrepectful retarded black comedian that acts just like you and Nick, you just failed, did you noticed that the black guy on your clips is saying just about anything to get people's attention
 
Dave you done plenty by calling me names on here along with Nick i told you and told everyone here i am not Nick and i did not want to be draged in this the world vs nick war but i was dragged into it and i am doing what needs to be done but if you want to prove to me that your not trying anything i will take that vid and scrap it just email me and try to talk to me that all you got to do is act like an adult and just talk to me and tell me whats on your mind and what you see wrong and in return i will correct it i do not listen to people when the call me names or constantly bash me i will just do it in return and return the favors to all who decide to do that so if you just talk rational and peaceful i have no problem taking that vid and scraping it simple as that i just want to hear from those who has a problem explain to me one on one and be polite about it and things will be changed that needs to be changed that simple can anyone do that????????????????????????????????
 
My Final Post

Mike,

Since I started looking into your rescue, I have discovered nothing but lies. At various points in time:

1. You claimed you were a corporation. The first website was registered to MnJ Inc. There is record (WHOIS) of it, you can't deny this.

2. You claimed you were a non-profit organization. There were posts on craigslist that claimed that. They might be expired by now, but I know what I saw, as did everyone else.

3. You took down the website and changed names three times, each time with a different URL. If you weren't doing anything shady, why bother?

4. You claimed to be working with over 10 different species. Yet Gary asked you which locale your scrubs were, and you didn't know what he was talking about. Retics? Really? Where? LIAR.

5. You knowingly associate with a raving lunatic. The more I read into this, the more I think he has you brainwashed into worshiping him. You are that dumb and impressionable. He claimed that YOU and HE are lawyers. I have the emails to prove it. LIAR.

6. On top of all these lies, you made a video where YOU said you were going to breed a boa that you 'rescued." WRONG. ETHICALLY WRONG...for an organization the presents itself as the savior of neglected snakes.

You are a LIAR and Nick is a LIAR. Everyone who has looked at more than five posts in this thread knows you are a LIAR and that you know very little about proper husbandry or ethics in business.

I am signing off this thread. I will not give you one minute more of my attention. The next time I see your name, it will be in the local news because you did something completely idiotic, or it will be on the BOI because you ripped someone off while representing yourself as a pioneer of herpetoculture.

I hope this thread doesn't carry on any longer. It is already a testament to your character, immaturity, and unmatched ignorance.
 
Ok see this is what i am talking yes we said we was non profit but did not know you could not say that unless you was 501c3 now we do and now we will never say that unless we are 501c3 also the corperation that was from something that was preset with the domain name from along long time ago i did not think it would use my old info to be placed with a new domain name but it was and i corrected it the name change was first because i wanted no part of the rescue my wife wanted it so i changed the name then the second name came conflicting to another rescue in va so i changed it again to suit the purpose and not to conflict with anything trying to call me a lier on things you know nothing about like what i got here boy you just have no idea what i got here and it is non of your buisness what i got in my home in the first place and i do not need to sit here and explain every little thing thats in my home to anyone but who lives here and that is my wife period noone has the right to know what i got in my private home on private property period and nick brainwashing me omg here we go again with bashing and calling me something you know nothing about AND WHO ARE YOU GOD HOW CAN YOU JUDGE ME BOY ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME THATS IT SETH IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO PLAY GOD AND JUDGE EVERYONE IT JUST IS NOT YOUR JOB NOR ANY OF YOUR BUISNESS AND HOW ABOUT YOU DO WHAT YOU SAY YOUR GOING TO DO AND LEAVE THIS THREAD BECAUSE ALL YOU CAN DO IS JUDGE PEOPLE WITHOUT KNOWING NOTHING SIMPLY NOTHING i offered you to come over i offered you to come to my home and see what i go i offered to talk with you but in all them cases you did not want to and decided to stick on here and run your mouth instead of getting the facts and noone is representing themselves as a pioneer of herpetoculture where do you get this crap from seriously where in the heck do you get this information from because i tell you this i never said crap about that NEVER GET IT IN YOUR HEAD NEVER EVER SAID THAT AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING WHO I DEAL WITH IS MY BUISNESS NOT YOURS NOR ANYONES HE SAID ALOT OF THINGS TO YOU SETH YES BUT I NEVER SAID THOSE THINGS TO YOU GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT AGAIN MAN YOUR JUST FULL OF IT ALL BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING DOES NOT MEAN THE OTHER PERSON SAID IT TO GET YOUR STORY AND FACTS TOGETHER BEFORE ACCUSING PEOPLE AND LIKE I SAID YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME OR MY HOME AND HONESTLY IT IS NON OF YOUR BUISNESS NOR ANYONES HERE BUT I BEEN NICE ENOUGH TO INVITE PEOPLE OVER OR TALK WITH THEM POLITELY AND THIS IS ALL I GET CRAP FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU SETH SO DO WHAT YOU SAY YOUR GOING TO DO AND LEAVE THIS THREAD ONCE AND FOR ALL AND LET IT DROP LIKE YOU WANTED IT TO
 
Ok honestly this has gotten way out of hand now and all we keep doing is going back forth with the same old stuff i just thought about it and figured i would just not say nomore and let this and everything drop it is pointless really because there is nothing new to say because we are not even in buisness and it is just bashing on both parts mine as well as others and it is gotten a little silly actually so i am hanging my hat up and moving on with other things but my offer still stands for those who want to email me and talk rational and calm without bashing and hate we can sit down either in person or on the computer and chat some and you can explain your views and i can explain mine and if something is wrong i can change it so hopefully one or 2 of you might take me up on that offer and actually get to know me and what i am doing and plan on doing in the future you can either email me on here or on youtube or the aol address that was mentiones like many many pages back just hit me up but as far as going out on here and keep acting like a kid is just not cool with me nomore and i hope you all agree from both sides it is silly because it is getting nowhere and nowhere fast it is like beating a dead horse i just do not have the time to be fighting about things like this time and time over and over again i am tired of it but those who i mentioned in the vid i will need to correct it some and i will do that just allow me time to redo it ok people it is been fun to a point but now it is old so i bid you farewell please lets just stop all this childish stuff from both sides i know i had a part into it and i guess 2 wrongs do not make a right i hope all you have a great week ahead and keep loving your reptiles those who we all should be paying more attention to then all this crap honestly talk to you later hope some of you take me up on the offer to talk i think it would be good to actually get to know some of you and your views

Just real quick. I did try to talk to you and Nick. It did nothing. I did so in a very nice way. I never called either of you names.

I pointed out the wrongs in just a fraction of the stuff I have seen you guys do. It did nothing.

I gave you my email.... You never once emailed me to talk. So that did nothing.

I went out of my way to contact you guys to help. You slapped me in the face with your childish videos. I could not care less if so and so said this or that. We are not in grade school. Just becuase a person says something does not mean you have to say something back.
 
Ok i got to post one more time to this one Gary i know i will email ok i just been going out of my mind around here and things that video had nothing at all to do with you at all you have been great your the first person to actually stand up and try to help and yes took some of your views and ran with them because they sounded good and rational Gary in no way did them videos or anything i said childish had in anyway have anything to do with you noone slapped you in the face you have been actually real cool through all this stuff and i am not posting here nomore but i had to say this to you nothing was ment to be aimed at you and nothing was aimed at you i can honestly say that
 
guessing they are back to begging for free snakes again.

LMFAO, because its just so true. I'm enrolling my youngest now and that's all I've been hearing. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
Duh!!

It seems to me that these two have already secured their desired "Bigname" in the reptile world.Now someone just needs to make them aware of the difference between "famous" and "infamous".It speaks volumes about them that they so value the adulation of twelve year olds ,that they will dispense any false information to obtain it!

I thought that this thread was going to settle on the bottom of the BOI. After nearly 700 replies, the truth on Mike and Co. was out in public and he continued to come on here and play innocent. I saw the post from craigslist that Wraith posted on June 18. I also saw Mike appear on the BOI three minutes later to 'defend' himself by denying that he was the author of the post that Wraith pulled off craigslist. Mike is obviously still watching this thread. If he was as innocent as he claimed, and not scamming for free snakes, he would have let this go a month ago.

After all the things Mike said about making newbie mistakes and learning from others, blah, blah, blah, I truly wanted to find out if he was telling the truth or not. On that same day, June 18, I sent an email from one of my accounts to the anonymous email account provided by craigslist that was linked to the ad- the same ad posted by Wraith on this thread. For those of you needing verification, the email address I used was [email protected]. If you send an email to that address, I guarantee you will get a response from nobody other than me.

Here is the entire email transaction that took place over three days. You will have to read all the way down to find out what I found out.

So Mike's denial that it was him was pure BS. Despite all he said here, he didn't change one bit. He's still out there scamming for free herps... :angry:
 
Seth you can whine and cry all you want you offered snakes up for adoption we can adopt any snake we want to nothing is wrong with that at all and if my wife is looking to adopt or buy snakes thats her buisness not of yours noone is out looking for no free snakes and remember we will adopt and get as many snakes as we want plain and simple it is none of your buisness straight up grow up will ya we will buy snakes all we want to there is nothing wrong with that or if someone offers us free snakes then we will take them plain and simple and i honestly can care less what you got to say Seth because we are doing nothing wrong at all so why not just let things drop and move on with your life because you know as well as we do there is nothing wrong with adopting snakes or buying them you will not stop us from getting snakes plain and simple Seth it is none of your buisness wake up noone is doing anything wrong GROW UP
