    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....

Sooo.... I wonder how many pairs of beardies she has bred. Since she has been breeding for 15 years and it cost 25,000 per pair to breed them even at one a year that puts her in the hole $375,000, no wonder why she cant pay for the thermostat!!!! Imagine if she has like 4 or 5 pairs, oh god!!!! She is the problem with the reptile community, too many know it alls giving out bad information to people trying to learn!!! Someone should put a link to this thread on her responses lol. Let people over there know who they are dealing with. I think DC is a good choice Wes, put her right where she belongs. Dan M.

It's funny she says sand is not natural for leopard geckos but I have seen leos in the wild and, umm....., well, they were ALL in the sand. I used to find a ton of them when I was deployed to Afghanistan....

Oh by the way, do you mean to say you know more than a reptile breeder of 15 years??? I think you are wrong, and you must be lying, the sand would kill them LMAO :rofl:. Sorry had to..... Dan M.

Hmmmmm, big fat ugly with delusions of granduer yet excellent at kissing ass, knowing far more than anyone else in spite of the fact that she has limited experience, lies like a rag rug on a dirt floor....... straight to D.C. would be my guess. Maybe cheney needs another ASSistant. Hell, from what she's said, hers is big enough to house a cabinet meeting in anyway or take a blast from a shotgun with no loss.

I say give her to cheney. Birds of a feather and all, you know?

I dunno Wes. :shrug01:

There's someone down there that deserves her I'm sure. :rofl:

I bought one of Sara's adult females from her last year. From what she told me, that was her first year to breed. She only had two females and one male. Probably not enough to make her an expert. Wow - if breeding beardies cost 25 grand per pair to breed - who in their right mind would ever breed beardies, lol?
 
I havn't been breeding any reptile for 15 years, nor do I consider myself an expert in any certain field...I think it's something worth always learning. Anyways, thanks for the heads up on her though guys.

wow - that is pretty interesting
I am not up on all the applicable laws, but I'm pretty sure that there is more to being a "rescue" than just calling yourself one. What do you think the odds are that a donation to Sara would really (legally) be tax deductible?
Extensive experience?? :uhh:

Highly unlikely as she would need to be registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-profit for any donations to be tax deductible. I don't think the IRS would take kindly to her implying she was one to solicite donations.
 
This will be fun then. Im sick of the lying, and BS, and i wasnt going to do this, cause i honestly just did not care anymore, but.... and im probably the only one here whos got this information... it should be done. So. Here goes nothin i suppose......

Image heavy, make of it what you will. This is all from her livejournal, that, for the time being, im still able to read. I went all the way back to her very first entry, Which wasnt that long maybe 100 entries or so... this is just some of the stuff i found.

Sarabeardies15.jpg

When it was decided she was going to get a dragon.

Sarabeardies14.jpg

When she was going to get her dragon Feng Shou

Sarabeardies13.jpg

When she first got her dragon Feng ( note the date )


Sarabeardies11.jpg

Shes got a hot rock in there.....I used a hot rock too... when i didnt know any better....



Sarabeardies9.jpg

Where she states shes going to be breeding dragons

Sarabeardies10.jpg

Same Entry, just lower down, Interesting times is right...... *rollseyes*

SaraBeardiesEggs.jpg

Her Incubator/First Clutch... is there supposed to be that much water? I know nothing about beardie eggs, but that, to me, just looks like its wrong somehow....

Sarabeardie.jpg

And this is the most recent ive seen of the beardies, where Feng has "Died on the Operating table" Eggbound perhaps? ( theres other stuff earlier about her getting some geckos and whatnot, but they dissapear after that one post as nothing more is said about them...)
 
Yes, that looks like the work of a 15 year pro, and whats up with the drowned eggs? Yea Sara, there is more than enough here to put you out of the hobby we all love.


Sara, what are you collecting animals and donations for? Are the people donating animals and money aware that you are selling them at the shows and the web? Yes Sara, I think you might need to answer some questions before long.
 
I really wasn't going to go any further with this whole thing either, but when I saw the way she was treating people on "Yahoo Answers", giving out incorrect information, calling people retards and that they were going to go to hell because they didn't know all of the answers, and flat out lying to have them believe her.....well, like I said before, it just really burns my butt.

Thanks to those who posted the screenshots....Griz walked me through it one time, and I thought I had it down pat, but uh..I don't.

Bobby, sadly enough...it's probably best that your Tegu isn't with her anymore by the looks of things. I just wish he had gone back where he belonged....
 
Sorry Sammy, it looks like you will never see your property.

Sara, … never mind. None of it would have been constructive. If you had any intention of doing the right thing, you would have already.

Thanks Dennis, but I gave up on that long ago.

I never trusted her in the first place though. Something about her never felt quite right. Looking back now, I figure the price of a $25 thermostat was well worth proving my suspicions correct about her. For myself and everyone.
