    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....

Phantom Reptiles / Ray Strickland Bad deal gone worse

Hey

Hey what ever your name is. I still only see two names on those sites.And listen jerk stop calling me Ray Strickland.
Why dont you check my ip adress.
I really think you all are a bunch of stabbers.
Like ants waiting for the cow to fall.
How if i'm Ray Strickland am i still on this site?
I just think you all are haters.
Now you have me trying to defend my own name.
I have done nothing wrong but read and state what i think.And i have been condemed for speaking my mind.
Please come back in to U.S.A.
 
Ra......Damn..I mean Chip. Um, all Im trying to say is that you may be the only one left on the planet that still believes Ray.

Another interestting tidbit. Until you stated it in the quoted post "Chip", no one knew you were in Florida just like good old Ray......what a coincidence
 
Chip,
Just wondering if you have a verifiable Class III license if you're in Florida. Or are you located in another state? That would put everyone's questions to rest since "on the stix river" is pretty ambiguous.
 
hey

Yes i have a class 3 reptile license.And yes i'm in winter Haven, fla.Why do you ask?Oh are we still on the Ray Strickland thing? Could i please just stay out of that plot?
All i did was read the thread and put my two sence in and all this turned on me.
Wow what a mess.
Listen i don't think i'll answer any more threads if this is what happens when you just put your thoughts in :firedevil to a thread.
Now i'm him and i'm being kicked off sites.
Thanks and have a great day too.
 
Ray,
There's an expression in law enforcement. It's "we only catch the dumb ones." You're especially easy to catch.

For those of you who don't know Chris "Chip" Chiapusio is the name of an acquaintance of Ray's. "Chip" is also the registrant of Ray's website. Ray's website is also apparently hosted on Chris' server, as emails from [email protected] are routed through it.

Additionally, Ray apparently forgot that even though he has a dynamic IP address with his DSL account from Bellsouth, that he's still quite easy to track. Although he claims to be in Winter Park, which would be using an ip pool in the Tampa/ St Pete area, he's still posting from that same ol' Miami pool.

Quite naturally, his pal Chris is going to have a Class III since he works with llamas. I wanted to see how far Ray was going to go with his latest little deception.

Once again, buh bye Ray. Your fine has once again been doubled, and now stands at $40, if I'm not mistaken.
 
Pardon me... did I say Chris Chiapusio was an acquaintance of Ray's???

Apparently, I should have stated that he is, in fact, Ray's brother-in-law. Also, from what I've seen and been told, he's a heck of a lot more literate than Ray.
 
Brother-in-law

I would bet Dollars to Donuts that Chip Chiaposo is Ray Stricklands Brother-in Law and Ray was just using the name. A little Beardie told me so.

Now that's funny, I don't care who ya are!!!!!!
Here is Ray talking to his alter ego....Ray :argue:
 
Kinda makes you wonder...

...how many personalities there are floating around in Ray's fraud driven noggin. He may turn out to be the Sybil of the Herp Industry.

Oh well, at least he will never be lonely. He has his alter egos to keep him company.
 
Geez Ray Ray

Such a weak arguement man. After all the ranting in e-mails and the COUPLE of times I actually got you on the phone , your still harping on this? You're busted dude.

You sold a local school one of the sick burms you bought knowing it was sick. Oh yeah , you never proved that huh?
You use the same pics on both CB & WC ads on reptibid.
Just read the e-mails I posted in this thread and the list gets longer.
You sent my animals back to me with a cold heat pack, dvd box ( no insulation ) and shipped it UPS GROUND.
You sent another customer an animal in the same fashion.
You sent snakes USPS. ( Felony )
You were using the paperwork I sent you to sell normals as hets.
You use multiple screen names.
You're just a freakin lunatic with 24 other lunatics dancing in your head. Do you still see me and Greg in the parking lot?
Now you're using your family to defend you, Considering your grammer skills it wasn't a bad choice really.
Rich will not ignore a member wanting to pay a fine , big diff between being banned and fined.
You try to find ways to justify the way you screw people.
You created a new nick to bypass your fine to start a bulls**t thread on another member.
As far as the " no dead animals " comment from your other ego, if I didn't live as close as I do my animals would've been dead you frakin moron. Who the hell sends out animals on a ground shipment knowing there is no gaurentee on delivery dates and the temps dropped into the 30s that weekend. If they were on a later flight they WOULD"VE FROZE TO DEATH .

There is nothing or nobody you can bring on here to justify the way you do buisiness. Out of the 500 deals you claim to have done last year not one single person thought enough of you to post a good guy anything on you? Oh yeah , one of your personalities did that reptibid for you. Your my new hobby bud.

Meanstreetreptiles is still posting ads on reptibid and if Chrissy is his bro in law or partner you can count on the same treatment from him I'm sure.
 
Hello

Hi ken,
First i would like to know why you have such a hard on for me?
#2 I would just like to say I have never ripped any one off.
I have had deals where the customer was not happy,But never called me back.Also i have had customers who were not happy and i refunded their money or satisfied them by sending new snakes to them.I have never had a snake die while being shipped,Nor have i have a snake i've sold die.
For the Record i try my best to run my dealings with people the best they can go.
Also i have never recieved money and just kept it!!
I have always sent what and the amount i was supposed to.All my dealings have been on the up and up.
My dealings with bryon boas was,He sent me snakes that were supposed to be one thing and they were something different than what i wanted,So i sent them back.
Where is the fault in that.I have been bashed from his friend gregg holland who i have had no dealings with.
He just decided to bash me because i sent back his friends snakes.

Also i do not need to run under some one else licenses,
I have a class III and i have a city and county license.
So as to say why are you bashing me?
Is it because i talked back to you when you tryed to show your power on this site?
All i care about in this site is reptiles.
If any one i've dealt with was or is not satified with any deal we made, please e-mail me [email protected]
and i will do what ever it takes to fix what ever problems you as the customer has had dealing with my snakes or partners of mine selling my snakes.
If any one was offended by me or any one working for me,
I would like to give an apology to.

Bashing back and forth with people on this site was never my intention.
I would just like to do what ever it takes to clear my name.
 
Again

To whom it may concern.

If you feel your order wrong.
Or you were not 100% happy with your purchase from phantomreptiles,please call or e-mail me, and i will do what it takes to set your order straight.
I'm sorry for any mistakes that have been made,And wish to rectify any and all problems.

This covers any and all deals.Old or new.Thanks.
[email protected]
Or call me at 954-319-0424
 
I got involved when you said in an email that the 66% het pieds were not what they said they were.

Troy Cromwell came on here and said they are in fact 66% het pieds.
Why did he come here to say this? Because I bought them from him, and then sold them to Bryon.

I also decided to get involved when you emailed Bryon back about not being satisfied with the snakes and which you so conviently decided to came me a piece of sh**. Why would you say that when you havd never talked to me or dealt with me?

Last but not least; I decided to get involved with this after your little ranting and raving phone call you decided to give me a few weeks back. BTW I'm still waiting for the FEDS to come to house, and I'm still waiting for those emails I sent to you which you claimed I threatened your children.

You have proven yourself untrustworthy, and a liar,and someone who has no character whatsoever. You go on reptibid and use MULTIPLE user names: meanstreetreptiles, meanstreetsreptiles, dolphins34real, phantomreptiles, and phantomlordreptiles. Any others we should know about?
