    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.

    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....

Tom Carlton dishonest and unethical


That was an extremely fair post from you Jeff, especially after the headache he caused you.


Dan people asked for the links. I provided them.
I would like to see you answer some of those questions too on the other thread but they can be done there.
I never called you a thief.

I would like to see Tom respond here as you do.



.
 
It was just brought to my attention that someone was on this site trashing my name.
First of all it is true that Dan and I were involved in a breeding project this year.
It involved a male ghost of his, and his spider.
I put the male ghost on three normals, two went. Clutch 19 produced 7 good eggs and 2 duds (I coded them all with Dan's name on them). 6 of them died pre hatch I froze these eggs with Dan's name on them. I still have them in the freezer If anyone would like pics. You can see that we're getting off to a great start in our business relationship.
Next up, clutch #31. 9 eggs all weird looking form the start. Began going bad on day 3 in the incubator. I called Dan and told him to come over. He and his wife get here, I pull off 4 rotten eggs with them standing right there and we threw them out. (funny Dan never mentioned any of this?)
That leaves of with 5 eggs that were very questionable. They made it to about week 6 and rotted. I also have these in the freezer so that I could show Dan what had happened. Once again pics can be provided. They were all coded Dan's Het Ghosts.
This again was not a fortunate outcome for either of us.
The thing about avoiding looking at snakes under the ultra sound is bull. We did that on at least four different occasions.
Now we get to the Spider loan. Dan called me the on the 16th of this month and said that someone told him I've got three clutches that produced Bumble Bees. And that he thinks I used his Spider to produce them.
I have, and will produce one clutch of 6 eggs this year that has the potential to produce Bumble Bees. And I didn't use Dan's snake to produce it.
I have a male Spider that is and was bigger than Dan's at time of breeding. I used it to breed the two large female Pastels that I wanted Bees from. Only one went.
Dan's snake (around 500gr) was used to try to get two other female Pastels (900gr-1000gr) to go. They didn't and I'm not surprised.
I also put his on three regular females so that we could split as many clutches of spiders as we could produce. One actually showed developing follicles on the ultra sound. They went to 18mm then turn around. That happens. Try to tell Dan that it's like talking to a brick wall.
Oh. I forgot to mention, he met me in the parking lot of the Hard Rock Cafe and gave me a clutch of eggs that he popped from a female he bought gravid from Five Star Morphs. This was before I was going in to play my poker tournament. He said not to worry that they probably wouldn't go any way. He was right. That snake was kept in his bed room during winter at no constant temperature (like the spider and ghost males)
I will conclude in saying that this whole breeding loan situation with Dan has been a learning experience for me. I was surprised that so many clutches (3) went bad. But looking back at it now realizing that none of the snakes on his end were cycled right It's not that unlikely that something like this could happen.
I assure you that after 11 years in this business I didn't wake up the other day and decide to rip a guy off for a couple clutches of Het Ghost.
Where are all the other negative posts about me on this site that all these rip off's have so many of.
Also if there is anyone who is reading this that has had a positive out come dealing with me down through the years, now's the time to chime in.
But I won't be surprised if they don't, because they are probably too busy working or doing other worth while activities rather than reading this drivel.
This will be the first and last time I will post on this site.
Many of the things that Dan has stated are out right lies, and I will be consulting with my lawyer on a defamation of character law suit. You'll be hearing from him Dan.
That way I can go back to work and not worry about this bull.
One last thing. The RI he has with his Spider.
Dan had that snake in his room, during winter with no set thermo regulation.
I know this because I was playing poker over there one night and he showed me the snake. When he put it in my hand it felt like it was about 62 degrees. I might be exaggerating, but the snake was cold. Very cold. I told him that if he keeps that Spider at temps like that he will lose that snake. I will stand in open court and swear to that.
I don't like hearing that anyone's snake has RI. It didn't get it here. Dan called me about that snake being sick 5 weeks after he got it back. I gave that snake back to him around May 15th. So if it was so sick (a SPIDER!) why does he wait a month and a half to take it to the vet. If it really had RI when it left here and you waited that long with a 500gr snake, there would be a good chance that it would have been dead in that time frame. No one would have waited 51 days to get it to a vet.
See you in court Dan!

Ive had no problems w/ Daniel Haney

I purchased a male Pied from Daniel Haney a few months back. He arrived in perfect health hes pounding rats and has never refused a meal. Just my experience.


Dennis you were right. That is the funniest post in the entire history of Fauna's existance. I am really trying to keep on track here, so I asked Dan about this in the appropriate thread. Lets see if he answers. Back to this thread. Regardless of Dan's past, it does appeare that he may have rooted out a scammer. I think it would be in all of our best interests to get to the bottom of this situation concerning Tom. That being Said, I do think Dan may have opened pandora's Box when he started this thread. It seems to have certainly brought Dan a large amount of unwanted negative attention.

Well Dan, any thoughts??? After hearing Tom's response, you are looking more like the Dan from those other posts...

Yes but I take into consideration Tom's threads compared to Dan's

Tom you have only good guy threads as far as I can find.

Dan if that even happened which i seriously doubt it did
You deserve it
Karma has a bad habbit of coming full circle and biting you in the ass when you least expect it
And i pesonally find that very satisfying
 
Dennis, all I need to do is look at Tom's response and Dan's past, and the party is over. Dan is just being the Dan that he always has been. My suggestion to Dan would be to take some time away from posting and go out and buy a couple of heat pads...
 
When is enough enough??

I certainly appreciate your post Tom as I am sure most do. It does clear alot of things up. I think this thread does far greater damage to Dan then any lawsuit will do.

As for Dan's other post (referring to post #27) I honestly did spit out my soda when I realized what it was and I have not laughed that good since the movie "The Wedding Crashers" :)

I certainly tried to be un biased on my first reply, but dang Dan, when is it going to end? You fought your way back from unbelieveable odds, not all the way, but some, and ------------------->poof, right back where you were 6 months ago. I hardly think there is any room for recovering after a wipeout like this.

Thanks Tom,

So Dan, is he telling the truth here or what? Did you get the snake back on 5/15/05? If so why did you wait till 7/06/05 to take him to a vet? and then wait till 8/23/05 to post about it?

what gives?
 
Do you honestly believe he is going to post now that he has been caught in yet another lie? Multiple alias but yet he was so incredibly foolish to use his name on both? Let's all hope he is now gone for good.

No,

While I was posting that, I had to answer the door got side tracked, now that I see everything I know I was concerned for nothen.
 
Tom

Tom I got my spider back from you right be the 4th of July. You are a liar. Get your lawyer do what ever you like. Know its you waiting on Karma to come back and bite you iin the a**. What I have posted is the truth. Tom has used my past problems against me. People will belive what they want I will not argue about this. I know what happened. I just put it out there so everyone else can make thier opinion. Tom you do need to get help for that gambling problem you got maybe you wouldn't have ripped me off. You havent bluffed me , maybe everyone else but this is far from over. Trust me.
I waited to post because thier were still eggs in the incubator.
Dan
 
Wait a minute, now I am completely confused. Is this Daniel Haney, aka The Constrictor Zone writing this or is this the alter ego Daniel Haney, aka dhserps writing this?

Daniel, how you can expect anyone to believe anything you say when you have so blatantly lied about who you are? Sounds to me like you just hopped in the Bill Leverton Love boat. Good luck getting out of that one!

Im not trying to pick on you but you are making it hard on yourself
PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDNT THROUGH STONES
 
While I am reluctant to take Dan's side here, as he is a known troll and bad-doer, Tom has posted a lot of bluster here without proof. Maybe it all is so, but maybe it isn't. Who really knows?

I would be more inclined to completely believe Tom if he hadn't immediately threatened lawyers and lawsuits. Most of the time it's the bad guys who do that. That doesn't mean Tom is a bad guy, but that observation is true at least nine times out of ten on this site. The other things that I have noticed bad guys do is claim that this will be the one and only time they will post on this site (as Tom did), though most do come back as they cannot resist.

Just because there are bad eggs with Dan's name on them does not mean that those were from the clutches that Dan was involved in. And we haven't seen them (Tom offered pics but didn't post them).

This comes down to a "he said, she said". My money is on Dan being the bad guy here but I am not 100% convinced. Of course then there is the issue of Dan being the pot calling the kettle black. That's the best case scenario for Dan, and even that is iffy. Karma? Perhaps.

Tom, do you have a gambling addiction? Are you on federal probation? If so, for what? With all due respect, a criminal record may or may not speak to character, depending on the issue(s) involved.
