    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....

Inquiry Epik Reptiles anyone with experience?

thanks Robert going to be a bit cautious because i have no idea. i check everyone through BOI honestly lol

No problem. I think you are smart to check everyone out on the BOI "first". Too many times folks only check "after" the fact, once it is too late. So, good job!
 
Found this interesting enough I thought it should be included here.

I can't speak for an actual purchase from this individual, but I attempted to purchase from him and here is a transcript of the conversation (it was through PM here on Fauna):

ME
Leopard Female
Hello!

Would it be possible for me to see a solo picture of your leopard female for sale?

HIM
Those are new pic and the pictures are pretty big

ME
Oh I agree!

I just don't know which one is the female? They look to be group shots

HIM
There are all different

Pic 1 female
Pic 2 female
Pic 3 female
Pic 4 female
Pic 5 male
Pic 6 my logo

ME
That's the pastel leopards, right? Not the single gene leopard female? Sorry for being confusing, I'm interested in that one, not the pastels

HIM
yes these are the pastel leopard the Regular leopard Are going to be sold tomorrow


---------

At the time of my messaging him, he was still posting leopards and pastel leopards for sale, both sexes... so I was confused/surprised to find that the single gene leopard female wasn't available. I took my business elsewhere, but I got the impression he didn't understand what I was asking. Perhaps my question was confusingly worded; I just wanted to know which one was the single gene female that he had listed as available.

Hope this experience helps. :)
 
i messaged him with an inquiry when i posted this through morph market just to be curious.

as most know if you submit a question through the individual animal you are asking about it links to the ad posting .


I asked for pictures of the parents and cost + shipping. his first response was.


"What"

then a follow up email sometime later.

"Hi sorry for the late response. Shipping is $47 from reptile express yes I do take PayPal remember PayPal has a feeds " along with the requested pictures.

I believe i will be going with a different snake from someone else with a better and more well known reputation. No offense to this man but some of the above posts are very curious and a bit of a flag for me..

ALSO find it interesting that once he was called out, the classified ad was deleted, and reposted again. Ray had to return to dispute the claim once more.

The ad was never deleted...

I was misinformed of who the buyer was and as such updated my information.

These are Ray Gurgui line skinks

Your "updated" ad still states, "I bought them 4 months ago from Ray Gurgui"?
Neither ad states Ray Gurgui "line" only?

Am I missing something?
 
Update On Blue Tongue Skinks

I already sent Ray Gurgui a message and changed my post as you can see in my attachments.

That is great, "now" perhaps the ad is more accurate.

Liar, liar...pants on fire. You've been caught in at least 2 lies thus far (you having bought the Skinks from someone and you not deleting the ad). Might be best to stick to the truth.
