    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.....

    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....

Never do business with Paul Prunier for P&A Pythons. He's out to rip people off. He had an add up for a Helix and a Herpstat pro on this site. I contacted him about the Herpstat pro, he said it was still fro sale so I sent him $225 via Paypal. He told me he would send it out Monday. Since I sent him the money I have not gotten a response from him in any way. I've sent him PM's, emails and called him over the last 2 weeks and he hasn't responded to any of them. Apparently he's done the same thing to 2 other members on this site from the same add. Hope this helps others out. We don't need D-bags like this in the industry.

Here's a copy of out interaction back and fourth about the herpstat.

Are you sending or did you send me the herpstat pro? I haven't heard back from you and its been a week and a half. If you've been to busy to ship please let me know. I'm not in a rush, I'd just like to know when your going to ship it to me.

Thanks,

Brad

I bought the Helix. Same deal as his and others. I purchased and said I needed it sent out ASAP. Paid on the 10th and he said it would go out the next day, Weekend came no Helix I contacted him he said he was busy and it would go out that monday. Well that Monday came and went, and I have not been able to contact him since. I don't know if something personal happened to him like he was sick or something but nothing. I tried him and his wife on Facebook. Not sure what the deal is but I would never purchase from him again. I too have a claim we shall see. At least it looks like he got an interest free loan for the holidays.
 
Mr Travers,
Why did you start yet another thread on this topic. Is there a (good) reason that you didn't continue in the same thread you were paying in a couple of days ago?
 
I think he added this one as my thread was basically an info only thread and he wanted to make sure a bad guy thread was started for him. I am only speculating but that is what I think since you cannot change thread prefixes, or can you? Also I started the other one and he started his own. Just my $0.02

I didn't start the other thread and the other thread was looking for info not stating what had been done.
 
He burns 3 guys to make $600 just before x-mas, ruins his reputation. STUPID!!!! Hope tons of people see what this guy is about and never buy anything from him. SCUMBAG!
 
The three of you could each leave trader ratings for him on his profile in case others don't see his BOI report. I realize this is not getting you your money back, but it is another step you can take.
 
Paypal usually will get you your money back; I've had scammers get me before. They'll withdraw it from their account whether it's there or not, and then it's up to them to deal with the bank. Paypal will get your back on this.

Yeah, I filed a claim and the other 2 guys did also.
 
Well he logged in here for the first time since 12/15 today. I was unable to see what he was doing but he was here at 11 something. Maybe he has something to add? Maybe something did happen to him since all activity here and on his facebook ceased on 12/15. It does seem like that could be a possibility, he and his wife made no post on facebook over the holidays. I know maybe I'm still looking for the good but I hope this is a possibility and that he just didn't need an interest free loan over the holidays. It does seem odd that he just disappeared without trace. He was on his facebook the day after christmas. Oh well. I guess we shall see, pretty stupid to destroy your name over such little money. Paul if you are reading this a little input would be nice!
 
I still never got a reply to any of my PM's, emails, texts or phone calls. If he did log on I'm sure he saw all his PM's. Does seem weird to ruin your name and rep over $600 or whatever the total was. The add did only have one herpstat and two of us sent him money.

All three of you should get your money back in time. One of Paypals terms for a refund are non-delivery of goods. Even if he withdraws the money they will refund you and put his account in the negative and he won't be able to use it until he pays Paypal.
 
Same sort of thing here unfortunately. I bought a female lesser from him 11/19/13. He ordered a box...I asked on the 25th if the box had arrived yet, he did respond it was supposed to be there the next day. The 27th I sent another message because he hadn't said if it arrived and asked him to wait til the 9th of December to ship since I'd be out of town until then. He responded to that with a yes I'll hold til 9th. I started sending messages on the 6th to confirm he would ship on the 9th. No response. Sent several messages between the 6th and 10th, finally said I'd get in touch with paypal and he immediately responded that his phone had been stolen, it was too cold to ship where he was, he'd get back in touch that weekend. I was fine with that, assumed it had actually happened. I have not heard from him again. I filed a paypal dispute, he hasn't even responded to that. Very unfortunate because this would have been my second transaction with him. I was happy with the first one, his snakes came in as described, good communication, I expected this to go as smoothly. Clearly I was wrong.
