Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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....
Inquiry Marcell Hawkins ??? anyone dealt with or know of him?
- Thread starter geckoejon
- Start date
Where is his ad? Also is there contact info, email address, phone #, or a location for him?
He is selling on the Monitor Classifieds page of FB. His page states he is from California, but that’s about it... No page on Fauna that I could find...
He is selling a T- het albino salvator that he “accidentally produced”. Stated he produced some visuals as well, but they are sold... pretty vague info about where he got them. That would be quite the score & I hope it’s true! Nervous about giving away that kind of cash to vague info to someone I have never heard of...

Jonathan,
Ask him for references, email, phone number, where he got his critters and then bring that info here.
If he readily provides information that can be checked, he just may be new. If however he refuses info requests and has an ad that is bordering on the too-good-to-be-true, then walk away from the deal.

Good job using the BOI Jonathan.
When running searches on potential members, here is are a few hints for future reference.
1. Go to "Members List" link above.
2. Go to "Search Members" button on the right.
3. Use the drop down button and select "Advanced Search".
4. In the "Full Name" field type "Hawkins".
5. This will pull up all members with last name Hawkins, you can scan for a "Marcell". There isn't a "Marcell" but there is a "Marcel" from Riverside California who had some newbie questions about monitors. Probably your person. There are two dormant accounts, but they still give you some little clues into him.
Good luck.

Looks like a scammer...
Pics were of Kevin / NERD’s T- adult...
Marcel stated that he worked for Eliot’s pet shop, where the T-‘a were produced... I called & they never heard of him...
He got banned from the monitor classifieds on FB

Not a scammer
Hello I’m marcel I’ve provided many times the number of my boss where I accidentally produced these het Albino water monitors, me I never took any photos but the one I took home. I can provide the number for you to call again? I even asked Kevin for advice and he blocked me. I don’t understand what the deal is with reptile breeders killing the new guy and that’s exactly what I am I am new, no background on breeding monitors but pythons I’ve bred n sold but never posted it to Facebook. I’m trying this water monitor thing and would like some support. Photos are of what my boss has send me of the adult albino so I can provide his number to speak with him. I am also in the process of obtaining some black dragons so please let me know what’s going on and how I can get out of this hole I don’t have time trying to scam anyone I work at the hospital. I’m a reptile lover so let’s work together please? Feel free to message me and if you want the owner of the reptile shop that this took place I can provide his personal number just let me know thank you.

Oh, really??? Then why were the pics of the t- albino Kevin’s? Is that why he blocked you???
Is that why you got blocked & banned on the FB monitor forums?
You stated that you worked for Eliot’s pet shop, where they were produced... I called both Eliot’s shops. They stated that you did not work there & they did not know anything about albino salvator being produced...
You stated that you “accidentally” produce t- albino salvator, but didn’t take your own pics? You stated that you hatched them out...
Your story keeps changing depending on the forum and person you are trying to scam...
No worries! These posts will stay up for everyone to be able to look at anytime they think about dealing with you in the future

Who is this mysterious boss of yours?
Where did all the t- salvator hatchlings go? Who has them now? Specifics?
You stated that someone just dropped off a t- male and het female at the shop... then you put them together & produced t- albinos & hets... That would be quite the advertisement for a shop, but the employees did not know anything about it???
Quite a score! But you didn’t take your own pics??? Hmm...
Still calling bs & a scammer....

Marcel - What is the name of the reptile shop where you work at?
Do you work at Eliots pet shop?

Since Marcel has failed to respond to the question himself, I'm leaving this here for future reference, take away from it what you will:
1. Marcel claims to work at Eliot's pet shop. The pet shop's name is actually Elliott's pet shop, something an employee should know how to spell.
2. Marcel posts on his FB page that he is sharing proof he is not a scammer.
3. Marcel then posts pictures of himself at a different pet shop called Strickly Reptiles instead.
