    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.

    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....

Well, thought i had a deal done today with this lad but seems to me its all about deceit with this one. He had a ad posted on the 30th of March for a Asian Female water monitor in the monitors section for 130.00 plus shipping which caught my eye due to wanting to get a young one and raise it up for a demo and pet alike for my educational programs i put on for the public. So I pmd him thru the ad and told him i was interested and gave my cell number so he could send pics due to the ad saying his camera was broke and sending pics thru text was the only way which was fine with me. So, i get this text about today, the 3rd of April from him letting me know it was him and that he was going to send pics. i replied back great and wait to see them. he sent the pics and she was a very good looking female with lots of color and i was excited to see more, he sent just two the first time. He came back with how great looking she was and so forth and I replied back yes, she was sweet looking and asked for some close ups of head and body and he sent two more. I then do like i always do just to make sure they are being honest and asked how much was he asking again along with some important health and feeding questions as well. He replied back he paid 200 for her and said she was CH cause i asked that as well, whether cb or ch, and said he was looking to get 150 to 175.00 for her. OH NO! first red flag! Then came back with an immdiate, 175.00 for her, AGAIN, SECOND RED FLAG! I then droped the boom and let him know i remembered what the ad said and it was for 130 plus shipping...silence for like 2 minutes then came back with something about her colors and so forth, have all the texts, and then said something to cover his tracks like" i thought you said somethig about meeting so that is what i was saying about 130.00" BUT his ad stated nothing like this at all, 130.00 plus shipping is what it stated. While i am discussing this with him, i get emailed about looking at the ad due to it had a edit today at 2:35 to the price and jumped from 130.00 plus shipping to 145.00 plus shipping. Well, i left him know i was logged in and looking at the ad and saw the edit. no explanation from him on that. Told me he paid 200.00 for her and wanted to make something off her now. I informed him he should have thought of that BEFORE he posted it and had his first serious buyer on the line for the 130.00 plus shipping as in me. Then asked me if i would do 150.00 shipped so that way he could make a lil. I told him about shipping ground due to its just like and is exactlu overnight here in the state of PA due to they just put it on a truck instead of a plane and it arrives same time same day, the next morning just like air does. Have done this alot in state PA shipping. Told him it owuld run 10.00 to ship this way and that would bring the total to 140.00 shipped. He then came back with would i do 150.00 shipped cause he wanted to make a lil off her. Told him that he had posted 130.00 and that was what i was emailing about for a future investment. He then got pissy and but said he would do it. I told him i would make sure to post that he was a good guy and what he did even though the changing of the price and jacking it up and trying to mislead me but since he was going to honor original, then it was in my eyes, a good deed of honor. he then texted back and said he wasnt selling to me. i asked why and he stated cause all you had to say was yes and not all that other stuff which was also I stated that this way people will see to be okay to trade and deal with him and get some good mojo going his way in this statement from me. well i guess he took offence to this? i dont know why, i was stating positive not negative and was going to boost his ratings. So, then came back and asked what i would give for her, and I stated the 140.00 shipped and he agreed. I then asked for forms of payment and he came back with paypal and an address and asked for 145.00 due to the fees they charge and i said fine and would send it tonight. Then get an email saying she is not being sold to me but someone else sent payment and she is sold, sorry, see ya. I then texted back and asked what? What kind of game are you playing? i was going to send payment. He then texted back saying smething like i said tonight and now i am saying sending payment now via paypal, it was EXAVTKY this evening at 5pm i was sending payment and the time we are talking about now is 4: 53pm. So he states she is sold and sorry. I then texted and said that was fine and would make sure to document this here on the site. he then texted back, what is it? I told him to check it out when he gets time and posted what went on in the first ad. I then go to check it tonight and see he removed the first ad , deleted it to be exact and placed a new one with new pricing so no one would see exactly what kind of seller and deceit he does. So i thought i would post this to let everyone know and to be careful when dealing with this lad or even trading cause if he is going to be deceitful like this, who knows exactly what animal you will get if you buy or trade with him or even if the ad is being truthful and exact about everything? I didnt want to trash like this but in my mind this was not right and total untruthful and very deceitful especailly when he lied to me and said she was sold but just reposted for more money! Will attach original statement from first ad here with this and have all texts as well if need to post them as well. If i remeber right due to being here awhile, the question was raised about this person awhile ago due to shady dealings not thru here but on the ads themselves from some peolpe in readings on different ads...BE CAREFUL AND REALLY DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE.:NoNo:

Here we go...was 130.00 in ORIGINAL ad that was posted on 03/30/2010 at 7:17pm cause I pmd him because of that nice price for an asian female water. I get texted today at 2:51 pm here in Pa and I see that there was an edit at 2:53pm on this date, 03 April 2010, where the price was raised and to 145.00 plus shipping. Look at the bottom of original ad and you will clearly see the edit for this. I think i even have a copy of original ad as well from my email here if I need to post it and prove it as well along with all the texts from him where he even had the audacity to raise it up to 150 to 175.00 and then came back and said he wanted 175.00 UNTIL I busted him and let him know that I knew it was posted for 130.00 and thats why I emailed about it then his whole story changed real quick and now said he is not making anything on it and wants to and I explained he should have done that BEFORE I inquired about it for 130.00...RIGHT? Be Careful with anymore ads from this person I guess...Was going to send payment for the original stated price plus shipping and add a lil to say thank you for standing behind original ad and price this evening and as soon as i said that, he came back and said it was sold...makes you say Hmmmmmm...Not trying to trash, just raise an eyebrow next time there is an ad posted i guess...
 
He also posts as TeguTerra03 (Sometimes interchangeably in the same ad :ack2: )
 
Then asked me if i would do 150.00 shipped so that way he could make a lil. I told him about shipping ground due to its just like and is exactlu overnight here in the state of PA due to they just put it on a truck instead of a plane and it arrives same time same day, the next morning just like air does. Have done this alot in state PA shipping.

Please tell me you do not ship reptiles via USPS ground? Did you know they have 3-5 days to deliver your mail? It MAY get to you the next day but the PO has every right to be lazy and wait the 5 days if they'd like to. I work in payroll(in PA) and we UPS overnight everything after having multiple issues with USPS not delivering for up to a week. PLEASE do not have reptiles shipped ground! You are just asking for some poor animal to suffer!
 
Well that didn't take long. Yes JJ Reddick has had name changes and when questioned in his monitor ads (either in the ad directly or PM) most are either edited or removed permanently.

Here is the current ad:
Female Asain Water Monitor
2 foot female Asain Water for sale.
she is priced at 135 plus shipping
for pics text me at 412-297-3444
thanks or email me at [email protected] thanks
i am trying to find my camera to upload pics for everyone thanks
she has the best colors i have ever seen in a water ever. and she is nice just skidsh and shy but can be held thanks for alll

In this ad he's now being questioned about the sex:

At 2 feet long what indicates the monitor is female?

These are his responses:
When i got it they said it was a female and i took it to my vet and they looked at like bottom and said it was a female. thanks

but could be a male i have no clue i just putit as a female


Already not being sure or honest about the sex of the animal.

Be VERY cautious when buying folks. Ask for proof!!

Also be mindful about a seller only wanting to send cell phone photos.
 
I agree... Beware!! By only using Cell Phone Photos... he may just be going to his local pet shop and taking pictures of animals they have there to try to scam people.. Not sure and not saying he is but that's the conclusion I came to!

Just my .02
 
He also posts as TeguTerra03 (Sometimes interchangeably in the same ad :ack2: )

Is that allowed? I was under the impression that unless given explicit permission by the admin of this site, it was against policy to have and post under 2 different names?
 
Dennis,
Have you informed Josh of this thread?
As soon as he pulled the 'LITTLE" game with me, I informed him that i was going to let people know exactly what happened and what i see he is all about. I will pm him and let him know right here through the site and I also put a link on the ad he has AGAIN posted for the water monitor unless he deleted it again like he did the first time. I hate doing this, but was totally hyped to get her and was looking forward to raising her as well, major monitor lover if you cant tell from my call sign. Anyways, i hate doing this but I need to let people know since i see he has pulled other stunts with others here as well.
 
Please tell me you do not ship reptiles via USPS ground? Did you know they have 3-5 days to deliver your mail? It MAY get to you the next day but the PO has every right to be lazy and wait the 5 days if they'd like to.

You are just asking for some poor animal to suffer!
NO! UPS will send it gori=und if it is in the same state, have freinds that work for them and why gas up a jet when they can put it on a truck and send it overnight the same way? Have always gotten the reptile at the SAME time i would have gotten overnight air delivery...No would never do USPS ground, have had a package sent to me via that way and it got lost but they found right away and brought it to me, even AFTER HOURS! But no USPS ground for me...
 
I just sent him a nice and polite pm on here so will see if he responds...I also just went to see the ad and he deleted it again with the info i put up after the first delete. I posted about this thread as well and warned everyone to please check out all info before buying or trading with this person. I am kinda glad i didnt get it now since he is stating its not a female and just saw that he said he took it to a vet and they looked at the mintors underside and told him it was female, thats not the story I got... and it suppose to be "GROUND" in my above reply and not that jumble mess, sorry.
 
Dennis,
Two things...
1) posting a link to a BOI thread in his ad is acceptable - rehashing your issue, or making a disruptive post is not (in fact, they will earn you infraction points...so, if you took that approach, you'd be well advised to make sure that all I see is a link when I get to that thread).
2) shipping UPS ground, even in the same state, is not a guarantee that it will arrive the next morning. Even if it is at the appropriate hub by 6am (as most overnight shipments are), ground shipments do not have delivery time restrictions...meaning it could just as easily be dropped off after 5pm. (I have received many ground shipments between 5-7pm, despite having seen 3-4 UPS trucks driving past my house those days - its all about the delivery schedule. That's why Next Day and Next Day Saver will both show packages arriving at the hub very early in the morning, but "Saver" packages aren't delivered until later in the day. Next Day is a premium service that guarantees early delivery.)
 
As of now, I am done. Will just sit back and see what other expereinces people have had with this person and go from there. Posted what happened to me and maybe will raise someones eye brow and really investigate and rethink whether or not to take the chance on trading or buying from this JJ or to keep looking. I see Scales with Tails has even documented where the sex came into question and he could not accuretly state it is a true female so maybe it was fate that he did screw me over and didnt get fumds from me cause I would be even more upset to find it is NOT a female. Thank you everyone so far for educating me even more on JJ REDDICK and what I have seen before and read abot this character in my eyes is now true from personal experience. Take care all my best to everyone.
 
On the UPS ground shipping here in PA, This has been my personal experience and have never had any problems and have always arrived the same time as overnight air, but is overnight ground, but this is ONLY my personal experience here in Pa and please do not assume that this could be the same for you in other parts of the country and states. Thanks for your time.
 
on wed march 31, 8:36pm he texted me saying the price was 140 plus 50 shipping. I found it wierd that the ad was only asking for 135. not much of a difference but why increase the price. I don't know how shipping prices can go down but now I'm being told shipping is only 26 bucks. I'm still trying to grasp why his pricing keeps fluctuating. He has been great with sending pics though.
 
Hate to dig this back up but

2 foot female Asain Water for sale.
she is priced at 135 plus shipping
for pics text me at 412-297-3444
thanks or email me at [email protected] thanks
i am trying to find my camera to upload pics for everyone thanks
she has the best colors i have ever seen in a water ever. and she is nice just skidsh and shy but can be held thanks for alll
ON SALE 125 PLUS SHIPPING

The pics he is dirty. lol hiscolors come out amazing when he gets a bath and sheds

Apparently he's still confused on the sex but is posting it as female.

Picture date shows 2007 as the year. I'm pretty sure this isn't the true date. If it is then somethings up. Three years old and two feet long??? :confused: JJ if you happen to read this adjust the date on your camera to the current date. Doesn't look good showing a 2007 date on a monitor only 2 feet long.

This animal looks like familiar stock from another company. So my guess is he's trying to flip it for more money????

Also he's still seems to be undecided on price.



Buyer be cautious.

I am so glad that he finally got caught for what I have been saying for awhile now about how shady and untrustworthy this character is. Like I said, I had a run in where he would only text me pics and everything else is posted in my first post about this person so am not going to rehash it. PLEASE after seeing this in living color and proof, PLEASE rethink even doing business or trading with this person. Very, Very shady and untrustworthy as you can clearly see in other posts and here with the proof from the pics FROM the MODERATORS that finally caught him for what some of us have been saying and telling them all along. Cold hard proof and not just from us members here but by the ruling force of the site and as soon as he is nailed or asked questions that are detrimental to his ads, he deletes them just like we have been saying. Thanks and all take care.
 
looks like a scammer to me, so much proof, he will come in saying he didn't have time/ his camera is broke, thats why he couldn't take a picture, so he just googled.
 
This kid, tried offering me that same croc as a trade, he told me he had it and would send me pictures but i never responded or gave him my email address, i should have though. Hes got like 20 different usernames as well. He offers everyone the same ridiculous trade offers and when i did it to him, he told the moderators. Very Shady character in my book........
 
JJ, Josh, Jon, whatever
I'd like you to clarify something for me....
The Hybrid Tegus 03 account is registered to Joshua Reddick, but the ads under that account list the email address as [email protected] and the contact number as 412-266-4825. Since the jonsivak email isn't the one attached to that account, and simple logic would indicate that you don't use your friend's name as your email address, what's going on? Before you offer some BS response, let me finish....
Searching Jon Sivak, I found a profile on Tegu Terra, which you commented on in April of 2009 (yo whats up best bud) - hence the friend comment above.
Now, with your TeguTerra03 account - which you are still using, despite my previous admonitions against posting ads under two accounts - your ads use the email that both TeguTerra03 and Hybrid Tegus 03 and list a different phone number: 412-297-3444.

It doesn't take much to figure that there are two people involved here, or that you are going to extra effort to run a scam.
I suggest that you respond quickly, and truthfully, before I just eliminate one account (or both).
