    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....

Not that it really matters too much, it just pisses me off.

Nikko began as a decent guy/good buyer. He purchased a few irian jayas off me, for the purposes of reselling, I gave him a good deal, less than 100bucks each. Soon after he wanted more to resell and also a possible het granite female jag. I didnt want to let her go, but I did for $450.00 shipped, the only stipulation was if he ever planned to sell her I would buy her back for what he paid, which he agreed to. I also "fronted" him 4 irian jayas for $75.00 each, which he promised to paypal me the $300.00, which I believed him, save him $50 on shipping and include them with the bunch. Well, a couple months go by, no $300.00, finally he pays me $200.00 2 days ago, and I also see he has the female jag up for sale, when I question him on the phone, he says, he just posted her to see if there was any interest, and that he did not intend to sell her. But then I see he put up a new classified for her yesterday, I ask him again to abide by our terms, I will paypal him to get her back, minus the $100.00 he still owes me.

No response, but the add is immediately deleted. Now today, same thing, another add up selling her, but this time instead of calling her what she is : an 88% Irian Jaya Jag 50% possible het granite, (from my breeding of !00% het granite 75% Irian Jaya Jag to a normal irian jaya female) He is selling her as a Het Granite. I am sure the add will be taken down by the time I finish typing this. And a P.S. is included in his newest add saying "P.S. Dont believe everything you see or hear" Implying that if I post on his classified thread, asking to buy my girl back, I am some how lying."

As I started this thread, it doesnt really matter, not a huge deal, not the end of the world, but dishonest people piss me off, that's all. And over what? Just to try to make a couple hundred extra dollars, shows how much a person values their reputation. I wonder if I will ever see the $100.00 he still owes me. I won't be holding my breath.
 
You can screen-shot the ads to save and post here so that you have proof of his dishonesty even if he deletes them.

Posting any e-mail or PM discussions you guys have had regarding these matters would help as well. As you say, you may not ever see your $100 or be able to buy back that one snake....but the more proof you can pour on about his dishonesty, the more weight others can give to it when deciding whether or not to do business with him in the future.
 
I knew I saw the listing say 50% het the first time! He also claims he is getting out of carpets, yet inquiring about other carpets.
 
Even if he deletes them, i've been a mod on several forums, the mods can still see them and look at them and give any information on them here.
 
First of all I just wanna say I'm not a snake man at all but I noticed an add he had put up yesterday about a 19ft(I think it was) retic. Well someone on the thread said "that is a burmese python. what kind of crap are you trying to pull?". Then I got back on to see if he had responded and the add was gone.:shrug01: I'm not accusing or anything just seems kind of funny he'd remove the add and not even reply. But anyway thought I'd mention that cause I was wondering if anything came of it.
 
listen fauna police i dont care what david say because he didnt get to buy her so he talks trash about $100.00?and for the record I SOLD THE SNAKE FOR $200.00 shipped as a normal IJ JAG to the guy $200.00 shipped because thats all shes worth you people can talk all you want it just goes to show people whos the real winners and loosers here gossip and politics thats all this website is about ive done business with tons of people over the years and never once have i had a problem with a single person ,me reputation is what it is people want to trash it go ahead its your jobs and the only life you people have just like Dave PM the buyer talking more B.S. about me to the buyer instaed of tryn to inquire about the snake he asked the man would he like to buy some of his carpets and he would give him a great package deal not one mention about the snake he was so worried about il have his PM to the guy posted but this ois all so childish $100.00 why couldnt have been $500.00 you make it sound like im cheap and broke and poor you could of done better than that Dave anywaise i really dont care i think that if people are gonna follow me on hear it shows who the stalkers are its really funny if you ask me when you all play detective,we sit back a see this kind of stuff everyday on here im done with the childish behavior on here and the stories behind jealousy oh life goes on but for most it appears it stay right here because fauna is their life 24/7 so sad.
 
In that ad he stated that he "simply mixed up the title" because he was also "putting a retic up for trade" now I don't know anyone who could type "19f albino retic" then simply upload pics of an albino burm that looked NO WHERE NEAR 19ft.
 
ALOT OF BIG MOUTHS OUT THEIR THEN AGAIN ITS THE INTERNET SO THE TUSS GUYS CAN HIDE BEHIND THE SCREEN AND RUN THE MOUTHS,BUT I DONT INTEND TO DEAL WITH YOU PEOPLE ON HERE ANYMORE I HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF THIS IT AND I SAW THIS COMMING AS SOON AS DAVE DIDNT GET THE SNAKES BUT ITS ALL GOOD IL HAVE ONE MORE THING TO SAY THEN IL BE REMOVED PERMANTLY SO IM GONNA LET YOU BOYS AND GIRLS TALK,TALK,TALK AND TALK SOME MORE WHEN ITS MY TURN IL SAY WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AND THEN LEAVE AND BEG TO BE REMOVED SO I NEVER HAVE TO LOG IN TO THIS PLACE AGAIN IM DONE HERE AND PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP .
 
It would be better if they both simply posted whatever evidence they had to support their stories to keep things from degrading to a "He said, she said" or "He said, He said" shouting match.
 
If you're done, you know where the door is. Or you can do the typical bad guy exit that I see comming. Shoot your mouth off, cuss and kick like a baby who wants their way.

I don't know how many bad guy threads you've read, but most of them have someone that'll say something along the lines of this "its not about how many good guy threads you have. Its how you deal with the bad ones that defines you as a good guy"

You broke the contract you had with David. Simple as that. You need to refund him the rest of the $100.00 you owe him, and because you sold a $500+ snake for $200 you owe him $250 for the poss het jag.

Click to expand...

Deb, he openly admits to everything David accused him of. (I don't blame you, if you skipped the rebuttle from Nikko :ack2::ack2:)
 
If a mod could check the url or whatever, they will see the buyer is none other than Nikko himself under another assumed screen name. But for the record, I do not lie.

This is quote by Nikko copy pasted from Nikko's add, as I dont know how to take a screen shot picture:

The paypal does not lie and neither do I.

How hard is it to just man up and call me,

"David, I know I said I would sell her back to you, but I really need the extra money I hope to get from her, I will pay you the $100 I owe as soon as I sell her, sorry, but I am in a financial bind."

I am reasonable, I would not be pleased but I could understand. I know if in a financial bind how a guy would hate to sell an animal back for $450 minus $100 minus shipping and end up with $300 in his wallet when he could put $750.00 by selling her outright, I understand. But to start lying, to me, to the entire community and to the prospective buyers, calling her a het granite when she is not, and slandering me, implying that this is just politics, etc. unbelievable. First screw over I have gotten since being in the hobby. It is kinda pathetic really. Just paypal me the $100.00 you still owe and lets be done with this, especially knowing that you just got $200 sent to you. Right.... lol

b4 posting emails you might want to start with spell check,Caps lock and massive paragraphs .


anyways , if you did nothing wrong just copy and past the proof and the people who accused you of anything will apologize.
 
WOW....I always was impressed with Mr. Poppy's jags and this whole episode makes me want to get one from him in the future even more. The BOI proves its worth yet again, allowing us to see the character of the people in this business.
