    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.

    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....

Chris,
As is stated at the top of every page of this section, and in the infraction notices you have received, YOUR FULL NAME is required for each message you post[color].
It would be a shame for you to get banned over something like this before you can state your case.

Now, back to business....How about posting up the emails or PMs between you and Tyler? Certainly, you must have contacted him if he sent you an empty box??
 
crap, I forgot to close the tag....
YOUR FULL NAME is required for each message you post.

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!!!

Could you please provide copies of tracking numbers for your shipment. Also copies of the money transaction may be helpful as well as any emails sent. Thanks

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.
Click to expand...

just to kind of play devils advocate here. The person in question states in this post you sent them an empty box. Do you have proof that you actually shipped an animal out? Did you take pictures of you putting the animal in the box? Just figured i would ask as this would clear up even more that he is the one in the wrong 100%
 
He has tried to scam multiple people. Sent out multiple pics to people and has scammed 2 of us. He is changing his story around even in this thread. Its obvious he is not telling the truth.
 
The last email i recieved. The last message is at the top. He never contacted me saying he recieved an empty box. You figured he would if that was the case.

Ok i just thought about this. My road is inaccessible. So all my packages get re routed to a city about 30 min away. Can you ship to a different address for me? If you havent already printed label out. The new address is my Grandparents. This way i can just go there and pick up my snakes. Thanks and hope this works out.

Just sent out the snake this afternoon.
 
In all fairness, I don't know of anyone who takes pictures as they are packing an animal. I think a tracking # and/or receipt with the weight of the shipment would more than prove the OP's case at this point.

And, yes....punctuation is good!
 
Tyler -

Can you please post some details on the IJ you shipped (age, size, source, etc.). Also, why does your e-mail have you as "Stephen"? Just trying to cover all bases.
 
I provided the tracking number. This is not my first shipment and i have never taken pics. I guess i will start to do that in cases like this. The IJ carpet python was a hatchling. The package only weighed a pound. If anyone was in ? of that.
 
Stephen is my fathers name. I dont have my own email address yet. I am the only one that posts on forums and all my names are Tpriem10.

The IJ was a hatchling as stated above. He was probably around 3-4 months old. He was about 1.5 feet long. About as thick as a pencil.

Does this information help?
 
That makes sense, and was what I figured on. Just wanted to make sure because of the light box weight, etc., but a hatchling carpet with all the shipping material rarely weighs over a pound. I never take pics of shipments going out, and don't plan on starting now. Good luck with this.

Mike
 
Thanks for clarifying the name thing (if we are questioning one party about that discrepency, you can bet your bottom we're going to question the other about it.)
As for the claim made here, though, the fact that AFTER the package was accepted there was no mention of it being empty - and, in fact, Chris/John/Billy said the trade animal was shipped as promised - would certainly seem to verify Tyler's version.
 
Thanks for posting your info Tyler. Do you have any documented proof like an email showing the details of the trade agreement. Hope everything works out for you..
 
I am going to remove the address i posted above in the emails. I dont want that floating around if thats fair?....

And yes no emails were sent to me saying the package was empy and yes he said he shipped out his snakes. Why would someone ship out snakes when he just recieved an "empty" shipment from the receiving party?

Thanks.

I would prefer to send after. I am getting my name up. Ill send $70 with my carpet. Then when you receive and ship the snakes and i get them i will send you out another $60. Just for holding and everything and all the time.
I will ship out on monday. To the address you gave me. You will receive the carpet along with $70. I will send the other $60 after i get the albino and cinny. Thanks and hope this works.

i totally understand ur point buddy i bred balls and redtails and rainbows and dumerils as well as burms and retics. did you get the pics of my last show see the kid holding my yellow anaconda female 6 feet super tame. hey i know you want to send just the carpet until you get the balls i have been doing trades for awhile i dont or would need burn anybody but to send out 2 very high end ball morphs for a carpet with no money yet is hard to do on my end again im giving you a great deal to help start your breeding im getting a carpet baby and 100 cash no need to burn you for that trust me i wouldnt anyways but your call on the trade.

Sorry for all the ?s... I always make sure the reptile business is played out right. We Dont need any bad names out there giving the reptile industry a bad rep as it is receiving already. What did you used to breed?
