    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....

Top Shelf Exotics (Inquiry)

Wow, already?? Dang, maybe all of my complaining to my ISP actually did some good. LOL.

Be sure you get em filled out, notarized, and sent in everyone!!!
 
Thanks Cat, I received it, along with another copy from Roger and Shelly. Thanks to all of you for the help. Guess we are all in a waiting game, now.

Inv. Brown indicated that ANYONE who has purchased hets should fill out a deposition and get it to him ASAP as this case may drag on and it is important to get your name attached to the situation as soon as possible. It will be up to the courts to decide how many breedings are required before fraud can be substantiated. Also, it may prompt the court to require Johnson to provide proof of breeding stock origins, possibly causing his case to crumble.

Thanks for the correction, Jason! I guess I have some paperwork to fill out...
Cat, would you mind sending the applicable paperwork to me at [email protected] please?
I don't think I'll start filling it out until this clutch pips out, just out of blind hope, lol!

Today is Day 60 for the clutch, btw! :slamit:
They all look great, are nice and shriveled, and obviously just begging to come out! I can't wait to see some noses appear! :willy_nil

I hope every one said their prayers, crossed their fingers, knocked on wood, rubbed their horse shoes, picked a four leaf clover, threw salt over their shoulder and are holding their rabbits feet in the hopes you'll get atleast one "PIED" in your clutch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
 
Thanks, Cat, I got it. :)

"The Scout" has poked its head out! Just as I figured, I got home from work this morning and was greeted by a cute little head poking out into a big new world!

Of course, when the little bugger ducked back inside, I had to break out the manicure scissors and have a peek...

No surprises here, just a cute little ball. :yesnod:

I'll post this same pic and one other in my thread in the BP forum.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

Not spotted, unfortunately, but he's mighty adorable anyhoo! I LOVE babies..... :)
 
Congrats Zach -

At least they are coming out now - keep us posted! I have my fingers crossed for ya.

Just wondering - did either of the parrents have het pied markers? Not that it makes any difference really but I was curious.

Thanks and congrats again!

Pippy #2

Normal #2 has shown his face.
This egg was easily candled as a normal a couple weeks ago, and marked as such. (In fact, there's only one egg that appears to have any hope at all that it's Piebald, and that's just because I can't make out any "normal" pattern on the darn thing! My fingers are still crossed, but... :shrug01: )

Did the parents have markers? Nope.

Well.....2 more healthy looking babies, at least.

I tried crossing my toes as well as my fingers, but I'm just not that gifted. Come on, numbers 5 and 6.......
 
Zach, those babies look nice fat and healthy and beautiful. Thank you so much for keeping us updated with your clutch.

I realize that it's technically possible for your pair to still be hets, but given the circumstances of Chris's business transactions it's starting to look increasingly grim for you and others in the same shoes.

Chris was rude and condescending to me quite some time ago and I remember thinking very strongly to myself that he would never get a single penny of mine, no matter how much of a "good guy" he was. I never dreamed he would self implode as he has in the reptile community and I am so sorry that by his "alpha male" personality he was able to hold potential complainees at bay which allowed him to get away with his foul behaviour as long as he did.

It's hard to believe nobody has ever met him, never had a table at a local herp show, or showed pics of visible morphs copulating or sitting on a clutch of eggs. It really disgusts me because he really did have people bamboozled and now he's running like a dog with his tail tucked between his legs and acting like the total crook I now believe him to be.

I am so sorry to everyone that used this forum to check him out before purchasing, based upon what I would have found here I would have gladly purchased from him myself if he ever had something I was interested in too.
I love Fauna Classified and respect all the work that has gone into making this site a source to try to prevent these kind of crooks from hurting the community. I try so hard to be non confrontational and to address problems privately, have to tell you though..... for the black eye that Chris has given to the herp industry in general my childhood youth wants to jump out and just simply really kick some serious butt.

Chris, your actions are catching up with you.... I hope you wind up losing ten times what you have stolen...... you've already lost face and any sense of respectability, that is good enough for me.
 
Well folks, the show's over...

and it's time to start filling out the deposition.

Here's #5 & 6, one of which is the only one that I wasn't able to see a normal pattern on by candling over the past week.

I'll still post a pic of the last little guy when he decides to show his face, but only because hatchlings are soooooo cute!! (and some people will still want to see all seven, I suppose)
