    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....

Steven Baker of SC Bad News!!! HELP

Attention Update DO NOT BUY FROM SHANNON PAYNE

I have recently received a phone call or two from a local reptile shop in South Carolina. Here is the situation Steve Baker and Shannon Payne who both post on Kingsnake and Fauna Classifieds are still partners in crime 100% without question. Maybe they are not living together but I am told they have been seen together recently and are defiantly working together with all there sales. These two owe me $780 owe others thousands of dollars and are NO GOOD. STAY AWAY. Do not buy from Shannon Payne or Steve Baker under any condition :reddevil:

Be aware that Steve's common law wife and convicted accomplice in the July 27, 2005 SC show break in and robbery is Shannon Payne. She has TONS of ads posted all over KS and should be avoided like the plague as much as Steve. After all, she is simply acting as his front. Forewarned is forearmed.
 
Alan

Thank you Alan, I apreciate the support and agreement. This is the absolute truth. Stay clear of Shannon Payne and Steve Baker..........
 
2004 alan 2004 get your dates straight if your going to bad mouth me too also you of all people should know all my charges got dropped and i do not have to pay restitution on any of that stuff and like i said that was 3 years ago this is old news i never denied knowing about it after the fact ----- your the fake " mr captive born everything" you use to buy from the same wholesaler i did but the thing was i picked through it first!!!!!!and i quote mr godino "eveyone that dealt or deals with steve baker is a bad guy" you use to buy ball pythons from him when he came up from florida!!!!!this is getting rediculous and way out of hand and again i will state that mr alan doesnt know me or has never done business with me!!!!!! this is all a target against steve baker my ex who im not paying for his depts!!!!!!! i shouldn't have too>>>>> shannon

Well Shannon, legally you may have gotten off but in this industry according to the above quote you're just as guilty as the perpetrators. You knew others were getting ripped off, and by whom, and you didn't want to have any part in it so you did nothing.

It's too bad that this is your only source of income because in my opinion you're finished.
 
I Myself Have Had Dealings With Steve Baker In The Past And Current Dealings With Shannon Payne . The Fact That Everyone Is Failing To See Is That They Are Two Different People.i Was Really Impressed By The Turtles I Had Recived From Her I Thought She Packed Eveything Up Nicely, Shipped Promptly, And Was Very Proffessional.you Can't Judge One Person On Another Ones Mistakes...

yes i did not want to be involved i was only 17 at the time and have never been in trouble before then you get people like alan bosch that automatically your guilty by association(example: all this b/s on the forums) and i got scared but once the detectives reasured me what was going on then as i have said i told then everything i knew from the begining which wasnt that much because i never even seen the reptiles i seen the kids with a bag then overheard the conversation and told them to get out of my booth yes i agree that was stupid on my part not to tell but i did my time for that and i learned so now its time to move on! shannon

Maybe I was a little harsh. It is difficult though to hear of someone that knows of animals being stolen and does nothing. Basically the "authorities" don't really care too much about us reptile people so we have watch out for ourselves.
 
thanks for the compassion . and please understand i was young ! and now i am trying to move on and make a good name for myself and support my 2 week old son ! but it is hard when a GHOST like i said before keeps following me ! i am sure i am not the only person on here at 17 who was scared of telling on someone ! but as an adult i will keep trying to move on with my life like everyone needs to do from time to time ! thank you shannon
 
Shannon just as an FYI, it is spelled "debts" not "depts". I know it has zilch to do with the thread, or your circumstance, but it hurts my eyes every time you type it... ;)
 
Shannon Payne

I do not know about nor can I speak for anyone else on this thread, but I will not let go of this issue until I am paid my money, that Steve and Shannon as a pair stole from me. I will be a ghost that will hopefully cost you much future business and stop anyone else from being ROBED of there animals or money. :reddevil:

What I find even more interesting, not necessarily in a good way either, is this quote that I stumbled upon from an earlier post in this thread

steven baker said:
anyway how did me oweing lee and chris money change into me being a theif ? i didnt know that depts ment you were a theif ? if thats the case then im in alot of trouble with the water , power companys and the land lord ,every month !

So you and Steven both have the same odd way of spelling the word "debt"?

If I was the suspicious type I might think that one of you is posting as the other....
