I can confirm that Doni's IP address is unique and is not a match for any other user on this site. To be quite honest, I see little, if any at all, reason for me to suspect that he's not being forthcoming about his identity.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed
=====================
Posted 08/15/2025
=====================
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....

OK thats it! I am putting myself out of this. I do NOT support Ryan as a seller nor as an ally! I am stupid in the fact I did not read up on anything about the seller. Please don't associate me with him in any way. This has been a bad experience for me and hope that you will all forgive me for my ignorance in the matter. Hope we can all just forget that I ever posted anything on this matter. I have read all the posts you have put up for me to read and I would like to say that I was wrong in defending him...I didnt know!

Doni,
Don't worry about it. You seem to have seen the light.
YOU will be just fine here as long as you're honest. Yours was a natural reaction to a good deal you got. NOW that you have all the facts you can perhaps see why some of us were so quick to jump all over you.
Some sites seem to encourage scumbags and thrive on the traffic they bring. This is not the case here. We out them and then remember them.
Don't sweat it.

My thread just got wacked. I guess I was suposed to put it on here.
Anyways, for my own future reference, I contacted Ralph Davis for pics to verify genetics and sure enough they are real. Not defending RyanT but stating for future reference for buyers of my snakes.
Sorry about the rule breaking, please no more warning points. IR stupid. I will read the rules now!

Like I said earlier Congrates You did the right thing by calling Ralph....The reason on my first post I asked what you got was some low life scammers get some good snakes with papers and copy the papers and alter pics and sell norms for quality...But you called Ralph and the deal was on the money.wgunlimited said:
Congrates And welcome to our very Protective Community

All is cool here. I am glad that Ryan did right by you. But the fact is that he has not always done so. And your somewhat boistrous post came literally on the heels of his latest fine and suspension (his third I believe). After Ryan's outbursts yesterday, and his history of using multiple ID's, and this being your very first post on Fauna alarm bells were ringing all over the place. I'm sure you can understand that.wgunlimited said:
So...Welcome to Fauna Doni. Good to have you here. From my perspective your input is valuable. Maybe Ryan Trude has turned over a new leaf in terms of the animals that he sells. His temper is evidently another story.

OK, here is a point to ponder...
at what point in a transaction for a pair of HETS, do you post that it was a good transaction?
1-after you receive your animals?
2-after your animals start feeding?
3-once you produce homozygous animals, that your animals were heterozygous for?

It was a "premature post". My first time... what do you expect! Have a safe 4th everyone and hope to see some good post about me in the future and put some up about all of you. Thanks to all for your help.
Guess who's back!
Back again. This is gonna take awhile. Alright. I'm not even gonna bother slinging all of the well-deserved insults at the appropriate targets. It's pointless and juvenile and leads to absolutely nothing. But I do need to get just one. To Wus Pusslock. You are a true lowlife. First of all, what grade are you in? Grow up. You're like past middle age aren't you? Ryan Turd? My god, that's pathetic. Do you know that if you add one more "L" to your name, it's the same spelling as those people that all those jokes are made about? What a coincidence. I bet that has some deep roots in your surname. Email me if you need an explanation, you metal midget.
I just got suspended for the same thing that the Fantasic 4, or 5, or however many of you mindless followers there are out there. And extorted for $40 without even a warning to correct what wrong "behavior" I was committing. That's really nice. That truly shows the politics on this site and what the real aganda is. It was my mistake to think I could get away with what you all do everyday. The difference is, I was standing up for someone instead of putting them down. Something noble instead of dispicable. Guess I'll have to watch that in the future, huh? I'll try. Really I will.
For the last time, I'm going to explain my history on this site. About 3 years ago I guess it was. Someone help me out here, what exact date was it since you bring it up constantly like you have it marked on a calendar? I made a trade with the almighty Christian Reptile Center (no longer around by the way). In the middle of the deal, my car broke down and I could not get anywhere to ship. I was 20 years old and not exactly rich. My fault. I completely admit. But I was not in control of the circumstances. It ended up on the BOI before I had a chance to correct the situation. After being attacked by you same people, which I quickly learned was commonplace on this site, I retaliated. Yes, that is what I do and I will not apologize. You people knew nothing then or now about me and I won't just bend over and allow you to say whatever you want. Because NONE of it is anywhere near the truth. Before shipping and completing my end of the deal, which I fully intended to do the whole time, I found out that the animals I was sent by the good reverend turned out to be incorrectly sexed. But I still followed through with my end. That's what I agreed to and it is my nature to make good on my word. I ALWAYS do. I am the most loyal and honest person you could ever come in contact with. And I am as good ethically if not better than the best reputed people in this hobby/industry. I understand what it's all about. Bottom line. My job itself calls for excellent salesmanship or we would go out of business too.
My second and last infraction/crucifixion on this site, mind you, after I had already been vilified and marked by the watchdogs/lying busy bodies was when I again, made a mistake. YES, I did make a mistake. Those Hoggs were adopted by me. All I paid was shipping. But after having them, observing them and being curious enough about what their defect was to have them looked at by a 15 year veteran reptile breeder, including Hogg Islands, and also a trained veteranarian who told me there was no explanation. They were healthy other than what seemed to be nerve damage or a long healed injury. No kind of illness or disease or anything contagious or seemingly genetic, I decided to try to get rid of them. I placed an ad not disclosing their problem with the intention of informing people when they inquired. And allow them to decide what they wanted to do. At that point, I would also be willing to negotiate price. I don't do any of this for the money. I am very flexible when it comes to that. It's not that big of a deal to me. I have loved these animals since I was less than 2 years old and I always will. I take impeccable care of my animals and they are my main obsession. I CARE about my animals. But it was a very bad judgement call to do it that way which I fully realize in hind sight and I wish I would have done that one differently. I had no bad intentions. Honestly, I post alot of my ads at work and I check my email like 20 times a day. I love getting emails to check to break the monotony of the work day. I didn't think there would be anything wrong with letting people inquire about them and then once I explained everything, they could forget it if they chose. Absolutely no harm done. None of you have any reason to believe that but I can't do anything other than tell the truth. And I am happy to answer ANY question at all if asked in question form. Not spit out in an accusatory, slanderous way. I think it's pretty understandable that that is no way to get anywhere with anyone.
As for not having any "good guy" posts since all of this happened (I did have one by the way which is as old as the others that are always brought up), I have never asked anyone to post on here for me because I find the whole thing petty and totally empty. You can't get any useful information from this site because these people that destroy every thread take away all the credibility of the whole site. It's too bad because this site really could be helpful if it WASN'T for these people. But I did ask Doni because I am concerned with my reputation. I do not deserve the one these people have given to me and so many others. I have done at least a thousand deals. Shipping and all that. I have had 2, count em 2, bad experiences. Not even deals. Just deals where bad things happened. Has it ever been proven that I've ripped anyone off? NO, it hasn't because it's never happened. And never will. By the way, nice job on intimidating Doni into totally retracting anything he said. You guys truly are professionals. You scared the kid into protecting his own reputation by threatening to destroy it before he ever established one. You're vampires. You must be very happy people out in the real world which I can't imagine you ever have anytime to venture out into.
One last thing I wanna say is that I definitely have learned alot from this site in a roundabout way about the internet reptile trade which I was new to less than 4 years ago. Before that, I had no idea you could get anything animal related anywhere other than pet stores. I have learned what is expected and not expected and I now completely live by those standards. Life is all about learning right? Anyway, I've had a long day. I took my kids to Sesame Place today and I'm drained and sick of typing. If anyone has anything constructive they want to talk about, I'll be back. Believe me, I'm not going anywhere. Those of you that wanna do your stupid crap, enjoy. I'm not in the mood. And I'm not gonna turn my own thread into one of those idiotic battles. Take care everyone, even the vampires. Ryan.

Ryan apparently took offense to being grouped with the rest of the weasels and came at me with guns a blazin. When I pointed out his past infractions as well as his tendency to explode into bouts of Tourette's like profanity, he backed up and said he had changed his ways.
Ryan, no offense , but other than a slight improvement in your spelling and grammar, I think the original Ryan is still 100% with us.
