    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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Lil LA, you need to post your full name, or your posts will be deleted.

When posting in the BOI, your full name needs to be included in each and every post. The easiest way to do this is to add a signature line with your name. To do this, go to the user cp, and edit your profile.
 
here is another one of thier Ads!!!!
from turtletimes.com

I found this ad AFTER I paid for all the dragons etc....

I am looking for Free or cheap Bearded Dragons. I am doing this for a female for the one I have now and for my husband and son. Since we got leo we have wanted more. I have endless food for more. I do not have a hole lot of money but I can buy up to $70 included shipping in that amount. If my 9 year old had not raise a king snake for the last 2 years on his own no help from me or if my husband and I would not have got Leo then I would not plead to the public. Please if you would be willing to do a favor to another person then contact me. I do not mind if it is not a baby I will take any age. I am also selling custom built reptile cages (wood & mesh or plexi) for cheap $100 to $500. These are very hard to come buy. I have built ones 10 ft long 6 ft deep and 5 ft tall for $500.00 this person came and picked it up but It have breeder box and sectional to keep males out.

I recieved an email from them the other day stating there was an accident on the way to ups to ship out the dragons and snakes,
It was said the one snake and 3 dragons were lost and the rest were at the vet, and they were in the hospital ready to come home the next day.
they informed me they would ship in a couple of days..

I wrote back with my sympothy and requested the vets name and telephone number as well as their's, that I would like to speak to someone in person.

Still no word 3 days later...
 
Did you make your payment to paypal with a credit card?
If paypal won't do anything report it to your credit card co.
i recieved a dead gecko last year and paypal told me that as long has long as i recieved a lizard they wouldn't do anything. My credit card co was able to get my money back took a couple months. Paypal wasn't happy sent me an email saying i should have contacted them first. If you used a credit card they should be able to get your money back for you. paypal is useless in these matters

~Oh wow, Sandie, I don't like to be pessimistic, but a WHOLE slew of red flags just went a-flying!! In fact, they started popping up well before your last post. I really hope you have not been scammed, but it certainly smells like it.
~I can't imagine the amount of a vet bill for the remaining dragons and snake. Do you have to help pay for that as well? Are you receiving a refund for the poor dragons and snake that were "lost" in the accident?
~You are right to be upset....just be ready, I think you are going to be much more upset before this is over. I truly hope I am wrong.
 
PayPal refund...

If you paid through PayPal and you did NOT receive the items you paid for, you can issue a dispute through PayPal. The seller then has a certain number of days to provide proof to you and PayPal that the item was delivered as promised. If they do not reply to PayPal with a satisfactory response and proof, PayPal will take back the amount you paid and refund it to you. The seller will then have to settle their debt with PayPal.

I have had this done before on some stuff I ordered off of Ebay that never got sent out. Hope it helps.
