    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....

Do not buy from Cody Swift aka Joshua Stevens of Signature Reptiles! He tried to sell a "Calico" Brazilian Rainbow Boa that I know for a fact that he does not own. I know exactly who owns this snake, and I even have babies from it.

The picture he sent me of the snake was taken right off the website of the snake's previous owner!!
 
Could you please post emails? And perhaps ask the website owner to validate that it was his photo?
 
Sorry, of course, I should have posted proof beforehand! :p

Here is the e-mail I originally sent him in response to his ad:

May I see pictures? Also, can you tell me more about how you got this "Calico"? Lineage information and any other information you know will be helpful.

Thanks!

He wrote back a few hours later with no text, just the following picture attatched:

Come on now, Cody, you can't be serious. You are obviously fishing for people's money with this one with no intention to send this animal. I know for a FACT that you do not own this animal. That animal now belongs to a guy I know and I have babies from it. The picture you sent is the EXACT picture that is posted on the website of the previous owner of this animal.

So sad.

So, now compare the picture above to this picture taken from Brian Sharp's Website:

I'm sure Brian would like to know that this POS is using his photo and claiming to have his snake.

Ive sent him a link and let him know. i caught someone else on another forum a few months back using his carpet python picture as well in a possible sale/scam.

I look at this board from time to time. Today I see some one using my business name that I have been using scents the mid 90's. I am also a friend of Brian sharp. I will let him know about this thread. Just so there is now mixup about who I am. My name is Craig Schnardthorst.
 
Somebody's trying to sneak in with a different name to sell snake's he doesn't have....
