    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....

You going to change sides there to?</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>  I like to keep military and personal life separate.  What I post on these threads does not consitute the position or opinions of our fine armed forces.  They consitute only my opinions.  Mine alone and no one elses.  When I post on this thread....I speak for myself NOT the military.

And if my government lies to me....It will depend on the situation.  I either march on or I get out.  but as aforementioned it depends on the situation.  It depends on the final outcome of what I have analyzed.

Everyone posts how the military are supposed to act.  I just want to say.  The military is made up of different people.  They each act according to their own set of ethics, morals and what have you.  You can't judge them all for the actions of one.  Just like I can't say everyone in florida is a crook just because there seems to be a lot of "stuff" from florida.

I do not always just act and react.  I actually sometimes analyze my actions.  Just like this thread.  I know some people do not like me for it.  But Hey.  I am entitled to post here.  I am entitled to my opinions.  And as for the people who disagreed with me....that is all it is, a disagreement.  If they are selling something I am interested in...I will still buy from them.  I do not hold grudges.  I get over things pretty quickly.  The only people I do not buy from are the ones that have been proven to steal from people.  If it gets proven that Neil stole his own animals....He will still get my business   ...WHY?    Because he stole from himself and not anyone else.  And he knows not to cheat me.  And I him.

David ... your post will also probably get the "Hatchet as well"
& as to the worse and worse and clowns ... we can for the most part read directions when given , see this is the problem with this thread ... everyone is making ASSUMPTIONS on others over something  that is really uncalled for .
What would be nice to see on this is for EVERYONE to stop posting here no matter HOW bad you want to ask questions , i think Neil has stated he will answer no more so whats the use in asking them over and over after being told they wont be answered , <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>? the dead horse cant walk far Neil  this was in no way a "negitive post" towards you , but just stating what is plain enuff to seeso unless someone has the "smoking gun " to wave around with UN deniable facts ... let this beast rest untill what comes out comes out ... if Neil did this ... well shame on you ... if dave did this ... well shame on him ... if the mailman did it .... were all in for it ...  
 
I did not imply that anyone did anything wrong, but, the tone, grammar, etc. says alot about a person, right or wrong.    This board is about people you would want to, and not want to buy something from.   Well, I got my answers...

"The Hatchet"
 
David .... LMAO
i wasnt being rude hope it wasnt taken that way , and yes i agree tones posted in all 1009785736242174 pages of this thread are for the most part WAY out of line  , and i must say again that you are right i think if most ppl involved in all this would look at how the reacted to posting they might think of how it reflects on them in the future. im sure if the tones used here were used towards someone that was to be a " walk in customer" it would hinder (sp) or hamper there customer standards more so then it may here ... who knows .... at this point im not even sure if the "truth " will set anyone free now lol .
take care ... ( hatchet) sorry i had to let ya know that it would be deleted when the webslave walked patroled the post ...
 
I agree with you David Reied I wondn't buy from anyone that been bitching lake a bunch of babys. The way these people turn on each other you can't trust any of them anyway.  So when i buy more bp for my collection I will go to  someone that don't cry all the time. I will get jumped on for what I say but thats allright to I have big shoulders to carry it. All this bitching on here poor reptiles arn't getting taking care of, there the ones I feel sorry for.  Loren Winters
 
Well Rich,

I gotta say that you've definitely peaked my interest in what you've found with that "I just learned how tough this test is going to be" comment!  But, since this is your board, and your decision, and you are the only one bearing the responsibility of your actions, of course I can, do, and shall continue to trust your judgment on these matters!

Just let us know what you can, when you can, and we'll have to suffer through in the meanwhile.  I think there will be plenty of filler for this thread until that time comes!
 
Isn`t there someone who lives in texas who can pay James Thornton a visit and see what the loser has to say about all of this. I am sure he has some answers to some questions.
His last address is:

906 South Alamo St.
Rockwall, Tx

We all know he is reading this!!!

Just a thought!

I agree with Richie, the military should be left out of this as it has nothing to do with the topic at hand or what Richie is doing. If someone feels the gov. is that corrupt that it comes into play here, hey you can always move to Afganistan.
 
Sorry to hear about that (again). What do these people have against you? I find it sad some jack*ss would stoop that low. Some greedy *sshole must have a grudge and the very bad part about it, they took the tape, the where probably customers.

As much as I hope you will find them SOBs who did this, I hope even more you recover your animals. They will probably try to sell what they took and if they do, I hope some one is honest enough to come forward and turn the crooks in

I don't know you, but I have read your post and you seem like a very nice guy. You did not have to open your doors to the public but being the nice person you are, you did and look what happend.

If I where you man I would
1) be very sad <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
2) be VERY pissed <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>
3) be looking for my animals as well as the jerks who did this
4) Close my doors to the public. I know it sounds mean, but that is what I would do.

Good luck

WHA HAA HAA!! LOL!!! LMAO!!!!
 
Hey Bill....Sure I did! From Ben Siegel, yet! You mean Boas "don't" lay eggs??? Wow, live and learn, huh? Yeah, right! ...And if you believe that one...I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you??? ....Ya know... I've heard of gullible people.... but, you guys are absurd!
If you "like" fairy tales... ask Dave to show you a picture of his 40' x 80' breeding facility he professes to own? (it doesn't exist&#33<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>, or ask him to show you a Bill of Sale for "any" of the high-$$ snakes he has on his website?? (they don't exist, either, because he doesn't own them&#33<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>, Or ask him to give you the names of just 3 people that have had good dealings with him? (you'll be hard-pressed to find them), he's got one of the "worst" reputations in this business! (and if you don't believe me?....call the Florida Fish and Game and ask for Head Investigator Dennis Parker, ask "him" to tell you about "both" of us....see what he has to say)!!.... Oh yeah... IMHO!!!....Neil
 
I don't know either of you, but Neil is not wrong about the animals on Dave's website.  I stand by my earlier comment about Lawson misrepresenting the rarity of the animals posted on his website. Since you say you have "the only one" or "one of only two" both of those burms you mention I have personally been offered several of both variants, if they are even genetic. You also say they are genetic, yet you have not proven any of them out. Let's see pictures of the clutches of mutations. What have you prodcued? You say on your site everything is a proven breeder but where are all the offspring? If all of those animals are in your possesion right now then post pics on your site of you holding the snakes.

What web site are you reading where I state that all these snakes are one of a kind? If you do not think That I owned them (or did) so be it.Maybe ask around for people that have seen them here or at one of the many shows I had them at.If you were offered soooooo many of these morphs then would not that prove that maybe I "did" prove them.I do not have to prove myself to anyone I think I have paid my dues which is more then I can say for some of you.So for now I am going to sit back and sell animals.
 
"I'm gonna sit back and sell reptiles"

Um......after this display of ridiculousness for the last few weeks you can just "sit back and sell reptiles"? If you do, then it won't be to anyone that has read this mess!

And how is it that all of the chest beating and "my d!ck is bigger than yours" smack talking BS by you two is STILL just that? Where's the PROOF....where's the consequences of the  "you just wait....you'll get your's this Friday"...... the Oh yeah?.......YEAH!.... the he said she said BS.......the threats? Did you guys go through that for any other REASON than scaring away any potential customer willing to do his homework?

Sad to see that both parties have damaged their reputations and each other's while accomplishing absolutely nothing.

YOU GUYS TALK THE TALK BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN CRAWL THE WALK!

Now go sling some more unsubstantiated mud that neither one can prove or deny and tell us again that we ought to choose YOUR side as the truth......truth from both of these players went out the window 90 pages ago.
