• 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.

    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....

DO NOT BUY FROM HIM!!! He is a scammer! I sent him Cash along with an IJ carpet python for trade for a couple ball pythons. He doesnt email me back and said he shipped out already. I have contacted all shipping companies and none have any knowledge or shipping to my shipping address. He uses the names:
Chris Breault
John Derosa
Billy Brier
Patricia Foley-"soon to be wife"

This is the second reported case with him. BUYERS BE AWARE!!!
 
anyone that uses multiple names like that should automatically be avoided. Did he send you a tracking number? i cant imagine someone telling me "yeah i shipped it but im not sure what company"
That really sucks. I am sorry about your situation.
 
He only started using names after i shipped and made the deal. I have no tracking number or anything. He said he shipped UPS. I contacted them and they had no packages shipped to my address.
Thanks i hope to make it better

Maybe if you give his address someone here might be in his area to give him a "hand" sending your snakes to you ;).
 
55 thomas street dedham mass 02026..triied scamming me last weekbut i caught on real quick and decided to go along withit letting him think i sent my snakes hehe..hes such a scumbag whoever he is. someone should teach him a lesson though.
 
I sent carpetman774 a PM, notifying him of this thread (link included). Hopefully, he will stop by and explain how he plans to make this right...and why he uses so many names.
Account says Billy Brier.
His email says John Derosa.
Package was shipped to Chris Breault.
 
John Derosa- Head business Runner
Chris Breault- Him
Billy Brier- Co-worker

55 Thomas Street
Dedham, MA 02026

He has used this address at least 4 or 5 times now with other people
 
Sounds like you've been doing some asking around....do you know of anybody else that sent him anything (other than the one I already know?)

Did you ask about the names, did he volunteer that info, or did it come from other people you've talked to?
 
I dont know of anyone else that sent him things.
He volunteered the names a couple days ago. He said he does educational programs for kids and such and even went as far as to send me pics and say the animals were his. I still have those pics on file.

What day did you ship? And at what point did he stop responding to you?
You have a pic that is supposed to be him?? Post it up!
 
I shipped out monday. He sent me an email tuesday morning after i asked did you get the snake, whats going on, etc etc. Saying he would have his "wife" check to see if it was there and he was working. The following email said he shipped out on tuesday night to the address i provided. This was Thursday. No further emails.

Here are the pics. He didnt say who his was in the pics besides his soon to be wife...
First pic "His 6 foot yellow anaconda"

Second Pic "Patricia Foley soon to be wife" Possibly him in the back right? Since he runs shows?

scammer this is so funny those people are my co-workers correct dont believe this fool he sent me a empty package with nothing in it so who scammed who kid of course i didnt ship you anything you scammed me and about the bermese guy he lyed to me i had a COD cash on delivery which means the post gives his package for mine but guess what his never arrived he was bullshitting me on the phone really people these 2 people need to get a true life.
 
So what is YOUR name?
Billy Brier, John Derosa, Chris Breault, or.....?
 
In that case, I suggest you PM WebSlave to change the information in your profile. Posting on the BOI under a false name is not allowed...and may result in your posts being removed.
 
If you aren't scamming anybody, why does your account use one name, the email you provide show a different name, and only the shipping info has your name?
Most people would just use their own info right from the start.
 
First of all, could you put in some punctuation here and there? I have to read your posts a few times before I can figure out what you're saying.

Secondly, how about you post some kind of evidence that what the original poster said is not true? Unfortunately, stating something to be true/false does not automatically make it so.
