    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....

Info TRUTHS ABOUT THE HIDDEN GENE WOMA THAT ARE IN DIRECT CONFLICT OF KEVIN MCCURELY(NERD)

The mods should have shut this down long ago. As well they should have made Joe show his proof before letting him do this again.

Sorry but the mods cannot "make" anyone show proof (wish we could!) :D

from the rules:
"Proof is optional, but recommended if you would like to remove any doubts about the truth of what you are posting. But this is purely up to you, just as the believability of what you post is purely up to the reader of your words."

So anyone can come on this BOI and lay false claims about a person for personal reasons?

Anyone can post on the BOI whatever they want as long as it abides by the rules. It is up to the readers to take it in and make their own decisions based on the evidence (or lack there-of) that is presented. If someone chose to come on here and spout off about someone but did not present any proof then they generally are not believed. There's also been quite a few times where a bad guy thread was started, the other party posts their evidence and it turns out the OP is actually the bad guy.

If you or anyone else would like to further discuss this issue or the merits of the BOI in general, let's take it to the feedback forum so this thread does not continue off topic.
Thank you
 
I think that the blame for all 50+ pages of mostly dribble should go to Fauna. This is clearly a regular thread and not a BOI. And if there is no validity to the claims that are made to discredit, tarnish, or ruin a person, then this defeats the purpose. The mods should have shut this down long ago. As well they should have made Joe show his proof before letting him do this again. So anyone can come on this BOI and lay false claims about a person for personal reasons? This thread is highly unprofessional and attacks the integrity of not only Fauna but the reptile community as a whole.

And I think that just because you apparently do not understand the philosophy behind the design of the BOI is no reason for me to change it just so you will be able to understand and agree with that design. If you want information straight jacketed, filtered, and edited to maintain some sort of status quo, protect some chosen individuals from scrutiny, disallow some individuals to post their opinions, or in any way have management here try to influence and control what information is allowed to be shown to the public at large, then I think that I need to point out to you that you have come to the wrong place.
 
Last but not Least, Is it a conflict of interest for a super moderator of Fauna Classifieds to come onto this post and expose the OP's personal past, listing information dating back 7+ years none of which where positive in nature?

Thanks, Dennis - That was the last straw for me to see. Do we all need to become friends with the Mods on this site to make certain they are on our side, before we consider posting about someone on the BOI? :shrug01:

I was just getting caught up on the thread and read your response and composed a reply then noticed Rich had already done so but I will go ahead and add my post as well.

What the Heck are you talking about? I haven't moderated a single post in this thread.
"Do we all need to become friends with the Mods on this site to make certain they are on our side, before we consider posting about someone on the BOI?"

Who stated that or what was posted in my personal opinion would give you that idea? Absolutely nothing.


What, I'm not allowed to address someone or a post on this site because I'm a moderator? That would be incorrect. Rich has made it very clear so many times that we are allowed to participate like anyone else.

Just because you don't like what I stated about a particular party your going to state I don't have a right to my opinion or the ability to respond to posts because it is a conflict of interest? How so?

What does having to be friends with anyone have to do with anything? I'm not friends with Kevin or with Joe. None of the parties involved here.

So if you want to whine about my post or opinions that's fine but It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm also a moderator. I don't like the insulation, unfounded remark. So what straw did that break? You gonna leave and not come back because you didn't like my statement to Clark? That's a little ridiculous.

Dennis, First off- When you are a Moderator on this site and you post on a thread in BLUE TYPE, It may appear to some that you are making that statement as a Moderator.

Second-My quote was in the format of a question??? If I was making a statement, I would have ended my sentence in a period.

I have addressed the situation with Rich, I understand and agree that you should have your opinions and the right to voice them. If you would have posted your reply in regular black font, we would not be having this debate in the first place. :thumbsup:
 
Willow isn't the only one who has said Joe is wrong. In fact, there are more who responded to this thread that thinks he is wrong than think he is right.

Point out ONE person who has NOT bought from PHR, who agrees with him. Just one.

I've purchased from Joe in the past and I will say he is wrong and I agree with everyone else that his Woma does not compare to the pictured HGW.
 
You know the more I go back and read...the more strange things are....Joe I will ask you this again...

Did you buy your original Dam from Kevin as a NORMAL woma. I'm beginning to wonder if you bought that animal from Kevin AT ALL, let alone as a hidden gene woma.

Do you have ANY proof what so ever that Kevin agreed that animal was "released early by mistake" and not just sold as a plain old woma.
 
Steve SPK329 do you have insight on this? I see your here watching?

Kyle, or Joe if he happens to know why this matters...I would be interested in knowing why Steve Kind's insight on this would be worth something. Does it matter that he was watching this thread?
 
Steve Kind did own this animal and I was told the very same information that Joe was regarding the Woma in question. I was very skeptical that it was a HGW considering my own Woma looks very similar. Back in 2010 I sent the pic of this animal to Matt Lerer and a few others for feedback and I was told it was not a HGW back then and comparing the HGW combos to Woma combos there is no comparison.
 
Well that brings BRAND NEW LIGHT to this situation....

So Joe...you DID NOT buy that animal from Kevin as a hidden gene woma, you bought it from Steve Kind...at this point...it really doesn't matter if Steve Kind told you it was a HGW, it has been proven by many people that it simply is NOT.

Sounds like you got had = / and your still falling for it
 
Having followed this for about a week I decided to join so I could say that the "hidden gene" part of hidden gene woma has always seemed very misleading to me, but I could have cared less if the granite part was tacked onto the end or not. Just the same it is a spectacular animal and is one of the animals on my list to buy this year (not the PHR knockoff version).

Also I would like Joe at PHR to know that my "normal" woma female looks exactly the same as your "hidden gene" woma when it is in deep shed, and would like to know what other drama you have to bring to this forum. I only ask because I suffer from insomnia and late at night when I can't sleep I read your tall tales and pass right out.

It's still a no-brainer Steve and nothing has changed...it's not a hidden gene woma. If people didn't let their personal feelings get involved and just look at it for what it is (honestly) it should be obvious to everyone that it's not a hidden gene woma.
 
Clark and joe of phr bought thier orignal woma from steve kind as a regular woma. Now that they made the pewter woma cross and it looks soul suckerish they are claiming that it is a hgw. not a regular woma because it has flames and opalescent sheen. That pewter hgw less is just a pewter woma lesser nothing more it has way to much pattern and color is to off to be soul sucker, not to mention the eye color doesnt match up at all.
 
The scoop directly from Kevin McCurley...

I spoke with Kevin this morning and have updated him on the thread a bit so here is what he told me.

The original normal woma was a male. Kevin kept that animal for a few seasons and then shipped him to his partner in California. He wanted to go in the hidden gene woma direction and not the normal woma direction so he shipped him out.

Kevin did see a photo of the woma from Steve Kind and when he spoke with Steve he told him it was a normal woma. He said that Steve was firm in his belief that it was a hidden gene woma and not wanting to "rain on his parade" Kevin suggested that to Steve that he just breed it and find out. Kevin saw one of the babies from that animal and he said it was also a normal woma.

That should clear the woma thing up...



If anyone wants to know the soul sucker/hidden gene lesser scoop they can e-mail me at [email protected]

I will prepare something that will be sent to everyone that wants to know so no story twisting of what me e-mails said will be tolerated. Everyone will get the same exact copied and pasted explanation. :thumbsup:
 
Just for the record for everyone. Here is Kevin's Founding Hidden Gene WOma. That he posted on his facebook page and was posted here.

Now here is our Founding Hidden Gene Woma Dam out of shed. Clearly not a regular Woma

Just wanted to post this pic out of shed and now everyone can bury it like Clark said.
Woma1.jpg
I don't want to hear how it was a mistake putting up or anything like that. You guys tried to show a Granite Enchi Hidden Gene Woma in the Ballboutique's ball python forum thread as Kevin's founding animal period. Nice try guys.

Our animal is the Original Hidden Gene Woma. Everything we said was true. Now the hijackers can bury this and be careful of slander.


Here is an email Kevin sent to us Denying he had lunch with Steve. Give it up everybody. Now Kevin wants to admit it? I tried to do this outside of the BOI. As I said I have nothing to prove to anyone. We aren't asking for anyone's approval including Kevin. LOL This animal is the Original Hidden Gene Woma.

Everything we sell comes completely guaranteed to be what it is. I disclose everything in writing on the invoice signed by myself of Clark, so the customer is protected and has recourse. Unlike others I have to say on their outrageous claims.

I back everything up and don't leave people hanging period as the consumer always comes 1st with Clark and myself. We give full disclosure on the invoice period.

This email seems like there was or should be more to it? Was their conversation leading up to the piece you posted? I'm not seeing how this is proof of anything at all???
 
Btw joe...Kevin never told me he had lunch with Steve. He said he spoke with him. For all I know Ms. Cleo could have been channeling the two.

Can you just post the explanation in the ball python discussion forum? It would be nice to have it out in the open, then if there are questions or comments we can try to sort this out once and for all :thumbsup:
