    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....

Mr. Casacci,
If someone were selling growing cabinets with the outward appearance of yours but they lacked lighting and were made of scraps from a dump would you not feel a desire to warn people they were fakes and worth much less than what they were being sold for?

Such is the case with your BP business and the highly knowledgeable members of the Ball Python Breeder and Hobbyist community.

You were warned last year that your WC females would produce $10 babies yet now you are attempting to misrepresent them as what they are not. Yes you will sucker in some less knowledgeable people who are trying to break into the hobby but in the long run all your fakes will do is harm the community when your suckers try breeding and selling your fakes as what they thought they bought from you. Oops, that is not a (Whatever morph)? But I bought the parent stock from Rare Pythons as (Whatever Morph), how could they be normals?

I personally do not understand the narcissistic mentality that inspired your polls but obviously you are missing something in the way of reasoning ability if you expected anything more than what your polls are showing.

For myself I do not care if you stay or go but I do care that you get your act together and stop the shady dealing. Such dishonest behavior casts a shadow on the community as a whole.

My advice to you would be to either start listening to your true betters in the BP industry or wholesale off your $10 snakes and get out entirely, not just off Fauna and BPnet.
 
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah!!

Tread softly, you join here and start posting crap after crap. how do you think you will be treated?

Its kinda like this for me, will my frog crap today or will my frog crap tomorrow?.....ITS ALL CRAP ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT!!

I think we will have more fun if you stay *Villagers run to get their sticks* :eek:
 
IF you're screwing over people with lies, misrepresentation, or deception, then you're just as bad as the people who want to ruin this hobby and you not only need to leave NOW, but quit selling and don't think that leaving here and resurfacing somewhere else is going to solve your problem-you will be found and this will keep going until you straighten up or stop.
 
Well it seems pretty clear to me that there are a lot of people who very much dislike me. When I say dislike I'm referring to vulgar name calling (F'in scammer, bottomfeeder, trash, etc.), flaming classifieds, demanding I leave the industry, etc.

Maybe some of members don't hate me, but when I see 1/2 of a members total posts consisting of solely bashing every thread I speak on, it get's a bit frustrating.

I've tried to defend myself on over 100 posts, but still seemingly to no avail for some.

Quick Recap From My Perspective For The Past 200 pages of Threads:

Fauna member claims are underlined:

You are another scammer named Chris from the Buffalo area: Proven To Not Be

You don't have proper housing for your animals: You've seen my rack setup, I think it's fine, others apparently don't.

The hets your selling on your site are not hets (Feb 07)
: Posted pictured paperwork proving they were hets from Joe Compel and Cypress Creek.


You claim to hatch out over a 1,000 eggs, that's B.S.: I posted pics of incubator room and did hatch out over 1,000 eggs in '07.

Well then you were GOING to sell CH as hets: Never happened, never was going to, and this past year has proven that I believe without a shadow of a doubt.

I also agreed not to sell hets, only possibles so I could never be accused of it.

Then I was attacked for selling only possible hets as it would confuse people, thus I would still be scamming, so there really is no way to win on that one.

You posted pictures from other websites on your own in your banner: Yes I did and apologizes for it, and took them down immediately.

You claimed to work on a genetically modified snake, but your a liar as that's not possible, thus liar and scammer: 8 months later it was proven by a members research that I in fact am involved in genetically modified animals research, despite my resistance to comment on it publicly.

You didn't quarantine your imports in 07, thus your animals are all garbage. I didn't know I needed to quarantine them back them, but luckily had no problems. This year I did a full quarantine in a separate room.

You posted Desert Ghosts and other WC morphs on your site, and they are not, thus you are a scammer
I bought the animals from Millennium Morphs when I bought out Adam/Mike. That was what I was told they were and they even told me the pricing to list each animal. Members on here complained and said they weren't, so I pulled them down (guess I got suckered on it).

The only customer complaint is from ReptileJay claiming that he received unhealthy mice from me at my shop, not at the Buffalo show where he bought others that were healthy. I did not recall selling him mice that were sick in any way, shape, or form. All of the mice in our racks are healthy and just fine. He admits to not have contacted me at all about the animals until posting a complaint here, for which I offered a full refund or replacement at his discretion (months later), which was refused by him.

I asked one of my volunteers to post on here about his dealings with me, and he put up a Good Guy thread, which was again flamed, and he was even attacked to a degree by a few members, before some others asked them to back off of him.


Well that's a quick synopsis, but I'm sure I'm leaving a bunch out, but feel free to read the full BOI threads if you wish.

Now I'm leaving it to members of Fauna. If you want me to leave the Fauna community, including removing all classifieds you can vote in the poll. If the majority of members want me to pack up and leave the forum I will. I'm not going to leave the industry, but I will keep off of Fauna if that is the consensus.

I'll let the poll run to the start of the new year (Jan. 1st), and at that point I'll voluntarily pull off of Fauna completely.

Ball python breeding is a business for me first, and a 'hobby' as a distant second. I do not love the animals like some claiming to give 5 kisses before a shipment, but I'm not hosing anyone either.

-COUGH- Just dredging this back up since this guy is determined to keep bumping his ads.

You promised to leave if we wanted it, and just a month later here you are again.
 
Apparently he really doesn't care what anyone thinks when it comes to staying here or leaving... This whole thread was obviously just a pathetic act to try to get some attention...
This guy is about as worthless as they come... and to be quite honest... The moment he finally realizes that this "BUSINESS" isn't a get rich quick type of business HOPEFULLY he'll move on and go back to selling something NON-Living...

Probably NOT going to happen any time soon though... it seems like the scumbags just multiply... and never REALLY go away... I hope I don't have to see the day when it gets to a point when the hobby itself has to go because they wouldn't... (ergo, we should get rid of them NOW... hint hint...)
 
And how do you purpose we go about that??

Maybe you can for a club like the dog people did and sell pure bred snakes:rolleyes:

People need to do their own research and realize for themselves what each breeder is in this hobby to do. Whether they are just basment breeders looking to try their hand at some breeding or maybe they could afford that hot morph so they bought a couple hets and are now selling off the clutchmates or the big scale breeders who are in it to meet market demand.

The buyers are the ones who will wort out the good from the bad all you can do is help them along the way.
 
And what would that prove?

A registry is for tracking lineage and such...please 'splain to me what that has to do with anything? We all know that he's selling CH normals as morphs - I don't see how a registry would do anything about that.

Agreed.

To the guy questioning this, what's wrong with bumping up stuff about this guy and how he does business if he stubbornly refuses to go away after he said he would? We welcome scammers in this community now? Would YOU buy from the guy? Not everyone takes the time to look up sellers, there's nothing wrong with giving them hell.

Says the guy who wanted a seller to lie to customs....

Funny how that whole "birds of a feather" things always seems to pop up, ain't it?

Thats exactly my point :eek::rofl::rolleyes:
 
I am not defending the guy but this little linch mob you have going against him is just childish. If you really want him to go away ignore him.
 
Thats exactly my point :eek::rofl::rolleyes:

You make no sense...we know they are CH. Therefore, there is no ancestry to trace..so, he puts "papers" on them saying there is no traceable ancestry...which we already know...nothing has changed...what did we accomplish besides killing a tree to provide useless paperwork? :shrug01:

I AM ignoring him. I just found it unbelievable (and kinda funny, really) that anyone might have actually believed him. You're doing a pretty good job of keeping this thread alive, though. ;) :rofl:

Ahh, I get it. Don't worry, I'm sure he won't tell anyone that you've bought a tomato growin' closet from him. ;) And for goodness sake, learn to spell.

Just like you have the right to post your opinion here, we have that same right. You can feel free to ignore.

No, I didn't believe that he'd really stay away. I just thought it would be nice to remind him.
