    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

what ever happened?

ive been wondering for some time now what wver happened to tse(top shelf exotic.com) does anyone know? it just like disappeared one day i know he was having problems with the scripting ...and need more help then he was getting so i wasnt sure...?
 
To sum it up.....they were scammers. They disappeared with many thousands of people's hard earned money. Period.

That'll save you a lot of time, but the thread is well worth a read if you have a couple hours to spend on it.
 
pardon the language.......but no shit.......i purchased leos from them in the past and they always had a good ranking.....that sux......im sorry to the people they ripped off....
 
i just read it thes b.s. i hope people like that rot in hell....pardon my french....
i mean i had heard he was sick but when 4 months goes by and no word thats thats when i would have taken a road trip to new york.......and wooping me some arse....lol as im sure you all felt when it happened....sorry to have asked now....
 
Eh, just in snakes paid for and never received, it was in the tens of thousands, as it was with folks that bought "hets" that we can be 99.9% certain are het for nothing but normal.

Keep in mind, those figures only include the money spent by people who we know about, and who have taken the time to get their information to us. The actual figures may be very, very much higher, when you factor in those who have never heard of Fauna or those trying to do something about this. And think of how many folks bought hets and haven't even heard anything is amiss yet.....I have a feeling there will be a lot more ticked-off people surfacing in another year or 2 after producing clutches of nothing but normals. In all reality, I don't think we will ever know the full extent of his scams.
 
Oh yeah, and don't forget that the Humane Society came in and took what he DID have left there for animals.....

They did?
How were they able to do that-were the animals being kept in poor conditons ?
I mean they had to have a reason for being able to do that and from the sounds of the civil case-it just doesn't sound like that would enter into it

If you read the thread, it makes mention of him abandoning a decent amount of animals in the apartment he had been living in...Which is why the Humane Society took the animals...
 
lets just hope me,cody,or garrick never talk to that arse hole again, screwing people is one thing animal neglect is another.....thats should be his sentence put him in a cage and make him suffer like those poor animals had to endure.......running is no exuse for ignorence..or neglect....

p.s. cathy... i checked my records from my dealing with him....and 2 of the females leos i bought from him that was tangs claimed to be het for albinoism and a few other traits.... still havent produced anything but normal, and tangs now you tell me(course i know the answer im not a noob....) out of 35 eggs not one was showed a sign of albino in any of the offspring...so we both go ripped.....live and learn i guess
 
You can live and learn, but you can also join in the fight. If you know that your "hets" have never produced what they were supposed to be het for (why should he have been any more honest about his Leos than his Ball Pythons?) you could very well send in a deposition form to the detective that's been working the case. He sent out an email recently reminding those who has talked with him and not yet sent one in to go ahead and still send them....no reason why you still can't send one in as well. If you need the info, feel free to PM or email me.
