    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....

Robert,

An honest, respectable businessman who was truly out to cease the law breaking ways of his company and improve said company's image would replace all the photographs from his webs with placeholders until such a time as he could replace those placeholders with photographs acquired legally. You have repeatedly indicated that you have no intention of doing that but instead intend to continue to infringe people's copyrights until they notify you. That is not honest or respectable in any way and proves beyond any shadow of a doubt for me that you really could care less about the laws you have broken or the photographers you are infringing. You, sir, are nothing more than a crook and you dishonest, dishonorable and illegal business practices are disgusting.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo for the morality police. I just love it when people get fired up with righteous indignation. It proves a point that it's nearly impossible to please 100% of everyone.
 
You know, I ought to thank the board members for helping me spot and remove violations on my website. Please keep them coming for by doing so you are making my website that much better. Bravo!
 
every single corn snake photo was a stolen image.. the blizzard photo was one of our very own WEBSLAVE's photos! sheesh. I have contacted all the original owners of those photos. now to the next page...

Focal X, I do buy some images from time to time so I am certainly not against that. I also ask for the usage rights of other images as well.

Any proof, receipts and so on, that you have in fact paid for images as you claim, or copies of permission requests you have sent out?

I think it's time you learned a little more of the nuances of life rather than calling someone a "run of the mill thief".

You are so right. Stealing a photo from the very owner of this board is no 'run of the mill' thievery. It is theft so brazen that you cannot be characterized as merely a common thief......:rolleyes:
 
The only thing I disagree with is Mister Internet summing up Brooklyn business as scammers.

As for the rest of this circus Crespo is indeed a horrible business person and does not deserve any customers. His blatant disregard for how his "products" are represented is disgusting. Hopefully people do a little research before making a purchase.
 
Who in the heck would actually buy from this guy?

I mean between Fauna and the other site I think you would have to actually WORK at getting taken by this guy.

Are there that many people out there that there are people who can just throw money at a business that does not know the 1st thing about the thing they are selling?

This is a total joke. How does he stay afloat? I'm puzzled.

What is going on here?

Right, I saw a lemonblast (out of stock) for $1900 when they go for $600 :rofl:
 
Keep posting, Robert. Your true colors keep showing through, the holes in your explanations are so huge a blue whale could swim through them, and I'm sure you're losing business with every post.

I think you need to learn the difference between fact and fiction.

Fact- you are stealing other peoples' work and property, knowing it's wrong and yet continued to do so for years.

It's going to take way more than days or months to undo the damage your sloppy and illegal business practices have done to your little enterprise...

Except it isn't impossible to please everyone in this case. All you have to do is stop breaking the law. The problem is you are unwilling to do that and instead are trying to feed some line about how you're going to gradually cut back like some meth-head trying to wean himself off drugs. Remove all the photos that are on your site illegally and replace them with placeholders until you can put photos acquired legally on your site in their place, its that simple.

Lucille, good afternoon to you. I see that you are revisiting your role as the high strung drama queen that you are. I think that Broadway is looking for someone with your skills.

Once again, you try to deflect attention from yourself and your stealing. I think the people on this site are too smart to let that happen ;)

East Coast, thanks for chiming in and adding you 5 cents worth. So, who actually buys from me? All sorts of people. Hobbyists, Universities, people just starting out in owning an exotic pet. You know, not everyone reads these mean spirited rants on these forum sites, no matter how influential the members think that they are. Believe what you will, but other than the image violations that I am currently working on cleaning up, it does not change the fact that the animals I sell bring a lot of joy to my customers.
 
Since we are talking about images I thought I would get a couple for reptilesncritters.com to enjoy...

Do you really think so? I wasn't aware that our nations prisons were looking for successful business people like myself. Maybe I can teach a few inmates my entrepreneurial skills.
