    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....

Bad Guy tinmantribe5 - Shawn Lewis

I just wanted to clear something up:

Amanda did in fact pay for 2 day u.s.p.s with our transaction, and the post office had a hold up. I apologize for wording that wrong.

Amanda, please don't take this the wrong way, but I do in fact strongly dissagree with shipping any live animal with the u.s.p.s simply because they're more prone to problems.

Regardless of my opinion though my animals from Amanda showed up in great shape, and impressive quality.

Anyway I just wanted to clear that up. It seems the way I put it was that Amanda shipped 3 day rather than 2. It just took 3 because the U.S.P.S is incapable of getting anything right.
 
To be honest i am quite surprised to see these two positive ppl be so negative. Or handle this situation in the manner they have. More so surprised at tinman! Most of his post are always so positive and nice towards others. BUT to read this and how he went about it, is quite shocking! and to find out this is a full grown man with kids. Not a angry kid running his mouth! I hope you two can find a happy median and get past this.

The only thing i have to say is shipping animals for anything other than over night shipping is unacceptable!

Shawn, i dont remember why your shipping 2nd day but that's. b.s. plain and simple. you need to look out for the animals best interest. Not anything else, and 2nd day shipping is not in the best interest of your animals!!!!!!!!!!

Amanda, same goes for you hun, atleast in my opinion. you live in a remote area and cant ship over night, find out another way. OR you may have to relocate to continue your hobby. These Reptiles are not capable or equipped to handle 2 day shipping (in a small container, in a box) all the time! i know they make it for the most part. but on a day, week, month, with extreme temps your gonna start losing animals. An if thats okay with you, your not okay with me...
 
I wasn't really mad at Amanda rather than mad at the u.s.p.s for the delay, and when I went to the post office to pick up the animals the box was sitting on the counter upside down, and the workers were poking at it. The box was clearly marked "This side up" and "Live harmless reptiles" yet the postal workers show their true ability to do their job.

Well dont be to much for jumping on u.s.p.s.

I dropped off a few boxes two weeks ago. only to hang around to watch the u.p.s. man THROWING my boxes onto the second shelf from OUTSIDE his truck! I felt sorry for him when i was done. poor guy probly couldnt sit down for awhile, but he got my drift. An if you know me personally you know i ruined his day!
 
Could I at least get a thanks for your Payment today ?

Who's the good boy? That's a good boy. Such a good boy.

For crying out loud Shawn, just stop!. Now you want to be thanked for doing what you are supposed to do and agreed to do? Get real.

Strange though, I thought you claimed the transaction was between Ben and Amanda yet you want to be thanked for the payment you sent? Which is it? You can't have your cake and eat it too. :NoNo:


wow, he stopped at post #1300.

We can only hope! :thumbsup:

That's bad ju-ju.:rofl:

Careful Randal, he'll accuse you of making bigoted remarks. :rofl:

Did someone say, cake?!?!

Shawn really showed his true colors here didnt he?
 
I'v never done it intentionally but shipping by 2 day service is not going to hurt most reptiles if done during mild temps.

I've shipped many boxes through FedEx and they have lost a few (as did DHL before I started using FedEx). Only fatalities occurred when I shipped snakes to AZ in the summertime and the driver left the small box on his dashboard.

If temps are in the 50's - low 80's it should be fine to ship by 2-day.

My 2 cents.

Those colors are black and blue (no racial connotations implied or intended there Shawn) but unfortunately it is due to him beating himself up here for all to witness. It's rather sad to have watched this happen. I am disappointed to have seen Shawn do this to himself. Hopefully in time he will be able to pick himself up and brush himself off and get back on track.
 
In that case Shawn you can go FUCK yourself and I do find it funny that a grown man acts in such a childish manner Your a real peice of SCUM to the reptile world. Nothing more nothing Less GROW THE FUCK UP It was probally your Husbandry skill that killed the Dragon. You DUMB FUCK and now I have Bad Karma becuase you feel as if someone was making fun of a legal disability (IN that case I guess you get a check every month from the state Huh) Belive I was making fun of your So called Bi Polar disorder you would know it But I didnt So instead of eating a sandwhich or something you can SUCK A DICK

John,
We get that you don't like the BOI - but common sense should say that if you don't like it, don't utilize it, and don't participate here. If you continue posting the way you have been, you won't have to rely on common sense to tell you that...

I have read through this thread...Geckoman,you are obviously one of the people you are talking about..I would also like to mention this place is a tool for learning,buying,and selling..I dont have anything but a couple dogs right now..Never even sold a reptile before,and cant get one til I move into a warmer house with better windows to help keep the house warmer during winter...Are you gonna tell ME TO LEAVE OR BAN ME YOURSELF??? ...Nope didnt think so..Its obvious Amanda isnt a scammer...Your just mad cause she wouldnt talk on the phone with you about a possable purchase...Sounds like you are the one who needs a life..I also reported your friend tinman for his cursing and insults on the previous page..
 
ok thats fine but please clear this up for me why is their all these people on fauna that only participate in the boi and they keep drilling you to make you blow up why is this im so confused isnt the boi the warn people of bad deals and bad peopls but it seems that it always turns out they want to label the person who posted the bad guy why?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
