    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....

Reptster.com experience with show sponsorship not good

Allen......you make me LOL. Fer real.

In case you missed the tally awhile back, well over 100 different members have posted their opinion on this thread. That's one heck of a big wolf pack.

Theyre jealous because the scumbags named are just a pack of mangy lowlife dogs. I cant blame them for being jealous at what they will never achieve!
 
I mean after all David has to be stopped. right,WHATEVER! He has a successful site with a great shipping idea that has helped a tremendous amount of people in our industry. Could it be JELEOUSY!

Let me follow up on this right here since you are obviously one the dumbest people I have ever seen that dont give a damn about facts truth or ethics.

Almost everyone here had supported Reptster and loved what they were doing. Almost everyone here wanted to see Reptster succeed because it was a great idea that was only going to benefit the herp community. Almost no one here is jealous of David because all we want are HONEST UPSTANDING people in this hobby. He was greeted with open arms until he gave reason not to be. And lastly almost everyone here wanted nothing more than to see a happy ending between David and Kelly where no one would be the bad guy.

So again, please quit spouting your lies and BS.
 
shrap

Sammy sometimes you make me laugh and sometimes you make me laugh at you, but you will never make me shut up and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Sorry for the delayed response but I had to sell a snake. 8 million more and maybe I can bail our government out.
Sammy as for my intelligence I am smart enough not to tell another kindergarten kid to shut up, But I did tell the teacher on you.

Sammy....Allen just shows his ignorance more with each post he makes, I kind of enjoy giggling at them, really.

If anyone, David should be telling him to shut up, because he's the only one that Allen is hurting here. Anyone who has actually read and comprehended this thread KNOWS that many of us supported Reptster in the beginning...and still perhaps would be if he had done anything besides crap on his customers and make an ass of himself. :shrug01:
 
Harsh words

Well lets see if Webslave comes on her and says anything about you two using curse words.
Sammy has it been that long since you sold one that you have forgotten what it's called. Maybe this will help you. I B e D ang, did you get it.
Maybe if you spent more time on your collection and less on the keyboard you could BREED, PRODUCE AND SELL snakes as well. But that would cut into your fauna time which I am sure makes you plenty of money. :rofl:

When this is all said and done I truly hope Kelly has learned one thing.....USE A CONTRACT!

I wonder how many hour have been spent, CUTTING, PASTING, Picking apart each others e-mails and the usual BASHING that comes after of the person who's opinion does not match yours.

If Kelly had used a Contract, we could all spent only 1/2 hour and have Judge Judy figure this out.

On a side note, I don't recognize most your names and you don't know me from dirt. I know Rich Z and Kathy Love people I respect for their work ethic & knowledge and what they have done for the hobby. There is one other breeder that I see in Tampa each year that lives in south Fla. I own a couple of his Bull Snakes. He produces an amazing variety of animals each year. He always has a professional display and demeanor at the shows. I now see him on this forum slinging mud in the most childish of ways. I really don't know what to say but I am shock by his actions and have lost some respect.

I can now open up myself for being bashed but I can understand David's feeling about this Forum. It has many good & valuable attributes with only one down fall, the mob mentality.

I have done the Birmingham Show a few times in the past. It is a small but well organized show. Terry has always been helpful and all in all it was a good experience. I have not read all the posts but a few of you have slammed him in a manner that resembles junior High School. He is a third party with an opinion, just not yours.

Rich has pointed out time and time again that the ugliness is not needed to convey your thoughts. If you want to be ugly to someone I'm sure Dave Lawson or the Reptile Ranch are still around.

Kelly has David's number and He has hers at this point with 1160 post plus mine that is all that is left.

I wasted my time with this post because I believe Fauna is a very good site that has benefitted me in the past and many of you and does not need to have the reputation it has.

Peace

If I saw curse words, I would say something about it. But I didn't...

If you believe there is, then please use the Report a Post function and don't take up space within the threads to report such things. If a mod believes your report is valid, then something will be done about it.
 
I really hate liars.

I realize a lot of you don’t realize how it came to be. But it has stayed on those guidelines with the BOI. Even though Jeff took Rich to court and won (in a real court)

See attached.


As far as this garbage.

Go through the list of vendors you see at any of the big shows (Daytona, San Diego, NARBC, etc), why don’t you see them on the BOI or Fauna?

I personally, probably could count at least 100 people that I know between the shows.

Translation:
Sammy: Please stop lying and BS'ing.
Allen: You can't make me.

Allen....do you really expect people to take you seriously??? Does David Young take you seriously???
 
Scott, It might come as a surprise to you that I think your last post was good honest statement of your thoughts.
“The mob” the “ wolf pack” as your now coining it, has done more to help this hobby then any of the other sites combined.
I can’t count any longer how many times the “mob” of Fauna has recovered animals, recovered funds, stopped someone from sending their hard earned money to a scammer. Heck, we have even had members show up at thieves doors and recovered animals and sent them back to their owners.

Fauna was a tougher place in the beginning. For a time it went light and was heavily moderated. It didn’t work. Sometimes this place can be rough and yes sometimes the threads can be tough on the individuals involved in the transaction along with the participants. If you’re honest it all works out in the end.
I’ll take the mob any day over not being able to out the scammers and the bad business people in this community.

Sorry if you lost some respect for those you mentioned.. I have nothing but respect for those you mentioned. I also see nothing that they have done or stated that would warrant disrespect. My favorite quote from Rich is dated many years ago and I think it still applies

what you will find here is that there are a bunch of people whom are like minded about the way things should be done in business transactions. When someone posts a load of BS or someone gets themselves in the position of being unethical in the manner in which they are doing business, yes, you can expect to have this group of regular posters here make their opinions known. There are always minor disagreements, of course, but I think it would be much more surprising (and disappointing) if there were NOT a core goup of people here whom were willing to attempt a form of peer pressure to have things done right.
 
But what does this really have to do with this guy's business practices?
Of course I hated it when he slammed the BOI faihful's, but come on!
This is really about David backing out of an agreement...period.



I posted it in large part because the only real 'answers' being given about Kelly's complaint are to contact David/Reptster since they won't post here.

Well, someone contacted David/Reptster and that drivel was the result. This is the guilty... er, scuse me, accused party making a rebuttal.
 
It just keeps going and going and going!!!
Someone awhile back referred to a group of individuals on here as a pack of wolves and some people got offended. But I will try to say it in a nicer more professional way! It is more like a cyber gang. When the same 15-20 people get on almost every thread and form alliances and put everyone else on the defensive, I think it stinks.
WEBSLAVE: YOU STATED THAT YOU STARTED THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD WRITTEN YOU A BAD CHECK, SO HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU ALLOW SOMETHING THAT COULD BE USED FOR SO MUCH GOOD TO GO DOWN THE POT! TURN YOUR SITE AROUND TO DO GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY AND STOP ALLOWING A SMALL GANG OF PEOPLE WITH BLOATED EGOS TO RUIN THE GOOD THAT COULD COME FROM THIS SITE!
Back to the group, Don't stop now let's see if we can top the record with this thread. I mean after all David has to be stopped. right,WHATEVER! He has a successful site with a great shipping idea that has helped a tremendous amount of people in our industry. Could it be JELEOUSY!
On a side note Terry sent me the rope but i was confussed at which end to hold!:eek:
Allen Belcher 706-615-4772

Now didn't you say you wanted to stay out of this? I'm pretty sure you did but yet you go and belly flop right into it.

For the bolded section .... I believe you have 3 threads here, none good. I'd say its very much doing its job. :thumbsup:

As for jealousy , why would I want David's headache? I could care less if he succeeds or fails. I had hoped he would succeed at one point but when one hits scumbag status my hopes for their success dry up. I just want him to tell the truth. That would be the thing most ask from you too if you didn't notice.

Allen get a life. If you cant figure out what to do with the rope maybe you could find how to tie yourself a noose... Just a thought

Dennis,

I agree with you about the good works of the BOI, but you have to admit that there should be no place for childish name calling. There seems to be a core group that is ready to jump on people just because they can. Someone in this thread mentioned the fact that alot of the well known people in this industry won't be found on this site. I know alot of them personally, and if you ask them why they don't get on this forum is because of some of the same group of people being ugly.
