    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....

I live within 2 hours of that address, if we can get things sorted out I can help with legally shipping these guys back...assuming both parties wish to play ball.
 
That'd be great, but I feel like is should wait till Tuesday. What should I do? I know the longer I wait the worse thing get. I don't know.
 
There's really no harm in waiting - in fact, other than following up with the police and IC3, it's pretty much your only option. It isn't as if EmeraldBoid is offering to forcibly reclaim your snakes; his offer was dependent on the other party being willing to hand them over for shipping.

So neither one of you know how to abide by a contract, according to what has been said in this thread.

Top it off, you still want us to believe what is being said by you or anyone associated with you?

Hmm...

You are aware that minors can't legally contract in every jurisdiction I'm aware of, right????


Really getting tired of people blasting a 14 year old who came here for help...


This site exists because knowledgeable adults get ripped off, you expect a 14 year old to handle it "properly"??

The contracts may be voidable by the minors, anyway.
Lloyd, I do not believe many knew this person was 14 at the beginning of the thread. I think most here are walking a fine line and trying to encourage responsibility on his part, and several people have offered help.

Yes I understand that, so then I guess I'll wait till Tuesday morning to see if anything comes.

His opening post was to alert people about a scammer, not to seek "help". And I agree with you about expecting him to handle it properly. However, not matter how young, he is expected to handle it honestly. It's impossible to help someone who lies throughout most of the threadand as far as I can tell, right out of the gates. He offered proof he said he had from the get go, yet made people dance for it and still came up short. To get to the bottom of something, sometimes grilling is a necessary evil. If he is too young to take it, then he shouldn't have come here. Oh that's right, the sheriff told him to.

I'd like to see proof of your age please.
Just want to make sure we are not being led down yet another rabbit trail.
