    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

So I really hate to do this to what i thought Was a good friend but i have gotten know where and thought it's time to bring it to everyone's attention

I joined Fauna in June of 09, Shortly there after i had posted a "wanted" ad in the bearded dragons page looking for a double het male. I was PM'ed by Nichole stating she had one for sale. In the PM she gave me her phone number stating it was OK to call being it was somewhat late i want to say around 11pm. She said she had a DH male for sale and that he was for sale in the bearded dragon section of fauna, so i liked what i sall and the price was good so i made the paypal payment. I received the male has described and was very happy. Well at the time i did not have the right female for him so months went by till i had a female. Well the first female he was with was an accident and not who i wanted to breed him to but what can you do sometimes, the cross was a het hypo female to the DH she laid 24 eggs and only 20 hatched well in those 20 eggs that hatched and if my numbers are right Het Hypo X Double Het should give me 5% hypo's not 1 of the 20 hatched came out hypo not a big deal. I then confronted Nichole via AIM as this is how we have chatted weekly since the purchase.I will post the AIM messages at the bottom. Well then i crossed this same male to a Proven Green trans 100% hypo 3 months ago well that clutch hatched out this past week and out of 15 laid and 15 hatching not 1 trans,hypo or hypo trans. Once again i confronted Nichole via AIM and will post that convo also.

Since then i have sold the male as a "normal"

This is the first convo me confronting her about the first clutch

Hi Paul,

Trying to think back and I don't remember selling her a double het, but just incase, was it dble het just for hypo? Also would you happen to have a picture of him? In the past Nicole had bought a few of our lines like Amaya (daughter of Cloe x George), Vale (daughter of Jill x George), Lily (daughter of Albee x Neon), but I think any of the others she sold off, which were irreplaceable dragons, but that was her choice.
Any additional info would be helpful & if it was one of our dragons, she should of sent the cert of genetics along with the dragon, as that's what we asked for, so people wouldn't end up inbreeding.
Any other info maybe helpful. Hope she's not using us for her escape goat, doubt it, but you never know. Our name has been brought into issue's we know nothing about lately, but that's another long story.

Well on my site on the breeders page his name is drago. Now He was breed to a leather het hypo, it was an accident but if my calculations where correct het to het i should get 25% hypo. She laid 24 eggs and only 20 hatched I got 11 leathers and 9 normals witch none where hypo. I did not get any type of cert with him. Thanks for getting back with me so quickly

Hi Paul,

After looking at your site, I have never seen this dragon before, or have sold anything to Nicole along that type of line. Sorry I couldn't be of any help, but I even went back on our records and found nothing along that line.
Sorry, and good luck on all your breeding projects!

Hey Paul, I received the e-mail below from Nicole Norton this morning. She bought this dragon from a pet store we used to supply dragons to sometimes. Below is my reply to her, as now I remember going threw this once before. The store also deals with another breeder as well, & this male looks NOTHING like any of the Het hypo trans we got from this line in the first place. He also had some Leucistic cross at that time as well. Anyway's sorry I can't be of more help, & I will sit here and be scrutinized by Nicole for the next decade. LOL, but true.

"He asked me and I told him the truth. This dragon is from ET's other breeder, not from us. I never had babies at that time he was produced. I told ET this repeatedly! The only Belgium hypo trans line I gave to them, and when I wanted the opportunity to purchase her back, he sold her from underneath me, so I have no idea what you are otherwise talking about. Sorry. I also have quite a few JUMBO hornworms if you can feed them out right away. I need to keep most the cups of chow for worms I have coming, but I hate to just toss all those hornworms. There has to be at least 20-30 of them.
Let me know, as I've had them in the frig for a few days now."

Why would you tell Paul that male is not a Double Het from you? You know he is you sold him as a baby to ET he was from your Hypo Belgium Translucent's that is what you told them. I highly doubt ET would lie to me

It's in the first paragraph

It's in the first paragraph

but 1st clutch was het X het 2nd was trans het hypo X to DH
 
i all i know is if she sold it as a double het and not a poss double het paul should get some typ of money back
 
Well, that stinks. I'm not sure who is at fault, but I will say this. I have seen alot of ads that the people really do not know what they are breeding or producing.

In the screen shot above the last cross your double het(hypo/trans) x leather het hypo would yield some leathers, possibly hypo leathers, 50% poss het trans, and 66% poss het hypos....not 100% het hypos. Also, unless they were from a specific recessive leather line, they would NOT be het leather.
 
uh huh

Paul Paul Paul, All i have to say this is a long time coming!!!!

Paul approached me with this "Issue" back when ed and nicole were splitting up.. You know when Nicole was blaming Ed for all the problems she had and why she was doing what she was doing. Blaming her crap business on Ed. Well I started to talk to her here and there while the stuff with Ed and Her was just starting to happen (publicly atleast). BUT this situation was being handled while she was claiming to start a new leaf! Well this was the last straw with me. Little miss innocent. While she is claiming to start a new page, she is still screwing her customers.

Paul was cool and calm in my opinion, he has hatched how many clutches? with nothing proving out like nicole said it would.. Then she goes and tries to blame the problem on Rhea at Dragon whispers. :nonod: Isnt she suppose to be your friend Nicole? why would you throw your friend on the fire when the problem was with you???
 
Nichole its a Shame sum of us tried to help you start a new leaf and you are back to screwing people again!
It just goes to show you can take the girl out of the Trailer park but you cant take the Trailer Park out of the Girl!
 
From the IMs, there is one thing that stands out as being most fishy.

(8:45:23 AM): I sold him to you as he was sold to me

(8:51:40 AM): he was sold to me as a DOUBLE HET
(8:51:45 AM): he produced HYPOS for ME

I don't understand why, if he did indeed produce hypos for Nicole, the argument of "well, he was sold to me as a double het" is being used at all. For one, that argument tacitly means he has not been proven to be a double het. Secondly, if she had indeed proven him out, I would expect her to use that--and proof of it--as her main arguing point.

Ignoring all of that, I have to say her attitude toward Paul in those IMs leaves something to be desired.
 
Thanks Tom!

I'm just glad to have people to back me up. I had no clue about the B.O.I. when i first joined and now i wish i would have did some more research but... You always well most the time learn from your mistakes
 
Just received this a few minutes ago

fordgalaxy500 is available 4:26 pm
fordgalaxy500 4:25 pm
(4:26:03 PM): Your an idiot posting on me you will get destroyed on the BOI LMFAO I never Guarenteed he would reproduce the trans and i told you that because i had no trans to prove it on Grow up dude and NEVER contact me agian you are barred from purchasing any dragon from me Have a lovely day
fordgalaxy500 is offline 4:26 pm

IMs are delivered when the buddy signs in. Send fordgalaxy500 a text message
 
Wow!...Some people never learn I guess.Nicole you've been viewing this for 20mins. anything to add?
 
Really Paul your are being this immature and you can't even tell someone you put a BOI up? :NoNo: A friend of mine called and told me

Well this is simple this will be a single post I will have nothing to do with this little temper tantrum as Paul has proved to me the he is unable to act like an adult and he expects me to give him his money back on a dragon that he fully knew everything on,has had for a LONG time, and re sold? I Don't think so I NEVER Guaranteed he would produce Translucent's because I had NO Translucent or Het Translucent's Females to prove it and I told you right out before hand that I would NOT Guarantee his Translucent side to you because of this. Do you think I would have sold him to you as cheap as I did if I told you I proved both sides of his genetics out? Heck No!

Paul bought a Yellow Double Het Male from me he has been throwing tantrums over it all a sudden for the past week funny part is all he could do was tell me how wonderful the dragons babies are. Now he is saying I lied about genetics because it isn't producing Translucent's well guess what Paul he was sold to you EXACTLY as he was sold to me a Yellow Double Het he proved out his Hypo said for me TWICE to Het Hypo females I did not have Translucent's at the time thus making it impossible for me to prove the Trans and you where CLEARLY Told this. I told you that he was sold to me as a Yellow Double het that he produced Hypos both times I bred him to my Het Hypo females that I can not tell you if he would or would not reproduce the Translucent gene as I was unable to prove it with the females I had at the time.

It is very simple Paul you where told exactly what he was exactly what he produced for me and that I did not know how strong his Translucent side was as I never had a chance to prove it. I am sorry you must act this over this you had full disclosure on the dragon you told me you understood that I was unable to prove both het lines out due to females I had at the time and you said that was fine and you purchased him. I find it funny that now WAY past you having him and having bred him many times as you have told me that you want to try to start something? Fishy


YOU WHERE GIVEN NO GUARANTEE WHAT SO EVER THAT HE WOULD REPRODUCE HIS TRANSLUCENT SIDE

Heck I did not Guarantee his Hypo side I only told you I had two clutches sired by him from het hypos females and I got hypos in both.


Also I never said I got him from Dragonz Whispesr nice try though I bought him from a friend :rofl: NOT a pet store who got him from Dragonz Whispers she bought him from a clutch produced by two Belgium Hypo Translucent's do you enjoy twisting peoples words around and lying to others like Dragonz Whispers about it? :NoNo:


Also why don't you tell everyone about the foul language? Telling me to Kiss your @$$ and what not you seem to leave that out; very convenient. :rofl:

It's simple Paul you are just having a tantrum over something you know you have no right to you are pounding your chest and venting on the BOI, Why? What do you have to gain by lying to everyone?



Don't Worry Tinman I did turn over a new leaf this is a bunch of hooey started by Paul because I will not bend over backwards and give him money when he knew what he was getting :rolleyes:, I even put a SLIP in the box that came with the dragon as I do with many with a listing of Guarantees. The slip was along these lines also at the time I had a different health/satisfaction guarantee

Dragon: Drago
Genetics: Yellow Double Het (Probable)

Guarantees

- 72 Hour Health
- 48 Hour Satisfaction
- I can not Guarantee This dragon will reproduce his lines as he was sold to me as a double het I did not breed this dragon myself.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at [email protected] or call my Cell.


When I sell a dragon I did not breed myself I make it VERY Clear on all packing slips.


I've said my part this is all I have to say Paul is twisting everything around to suit his needs and try to make me look bad. Paul seriously you know your lying through your teeth dose it make you feel better to do so? :rolleyes:
 
Paul, when did you purchase the dragon? Did you by chance save a copy of Nicole's ad?
Did she, in fact, include a written disclaimer as to his "probable" genetics?
