    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 Paul Kurnava is at it again buyers beware

trust me, i have been. im hopin he will surprise me and she will show up, but i agree, something feels off. hes been replying to all my emails thus far, just says hes at work and he left the tracking number in his car. im thinkin i should have saved that money and saved up a little more and got the same exact animal off a very known and reputable guy

i cant believe ups stores stay open till 9pm, i thought he was pullin my leg when he told me that

I may be wrong but I didn't think you could ship reptiles UPS anymore?
 
When I ship ups through Cleveland the ups store will not take a live animal I have to drop it off at there hub in middleburg hts or in cleveland. And they always tell me that if they don't have it by 730 then they can't do overnight express. I'm not used to fwc but aren't they a regulated species that requires delta dash in wood crate?

Ok I've always used FedEx but could have swarn I read that somewhere.
 
he said the ups store closes at 9 (where he lives in cleveland) i didnt realize any ups stores stayed open that late. someone in this thread said they did. so, at least that was true from him. up until he emailed me the last time about the tracking numbet being left in his car, there really wasnt any red flags

if she doesnt come in, i will make me own thread with emails and the couple of pm's we had here on fauna
 
NO RED FLAGS?? WOW ok well keep telling yourself that ....i dont know if you read other post on this guy ....but when you can show me that this lil kid is real and has all the stuff he posts on the web than i will stop posting bad guy post about him .....how many members do you see posted something that is good about this kid ? none ....so that should be your red flag .....im just trying to help out the people sending money and not getting scammed from is guy.....

He did try to research on him and nothing came up. Like he said he probably got the spelling wrong. So he had no red flags to start with. I'm sure he's loosing enough sleep over this but it will all be resolved in the morning. Or another bad BOI will be started.

it's prefered to use an existing thread so people can see all the transactions to make an informed decision. Same goes to the OP, but well, here we are so...

Well I agree that you should have paid a little more from someone reputable, but there's nothing you can do about that now, except learn from this.

I would be extremely surprised if you receive your FWC tomorrow, sorry I'm not more optimistic. But it doesn't look good from all the info posted about Paul. Sorry if I missed it but how did you pay? Also if a package does arrive I would ask the driver to wait for you to open it just to make sure it's not an empty box, so you have a witness.

I would also tell Mr. Kurnava to go out to his :censored: car and get the tracking number, that excuse is insulting!

Can you please post the pics he sent you of the FWC?

I hope I'm wrong and you get your snake, but I wouldn't hold my breathe.
Good Luck!!

I Know you are angry at this person and also trying to save ppl from being taken by him but... Dont lump all ppl that dont have a good BOI all in the same bunch. I have been breeding snakes for Years and dont have a good (Or bad) BOI on me but I still hope that if I were to sell on here that I would be respected as other good breeders are.
