    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....

Bad Guy Matt Shrimplin

perhaps you are right and my comprehension skills might be lack luster but my animals are very healthy and well taken care of :)
 
Enough already. Kindly take the nah-nah-boo-boo kiddie banter to PM if you wish to continue your pointless jabs.
 
In my opinion seeing as the problem has been resolved and Matt Shrimplin did what was right in the given situation, this thread should be closed to further discussion of the matter. I'm guessing that the original poster has to request this action be taken, I don't know. For my part, I just could not stand idly by while someone suggests that I played a bigger part in the situation than I actually did, and that I had knowledge of any problem prior to receiving the animal. I had little choice in the matter, I had to defend myself against false accusations.
 
Threads don't get closed here Ken and the matter isn't resolved IMO until Allee posts here that she has received restitution.
 
I've posted that payment has been sent. I will receive the "replacement" on Thursday morning. Why KEN and Robin are still going at it like children is beyond me. I expect this from Robin, but not from you, Ken.
 
Ok great, all there is to do now is wait and once you post Thursday morning that you are satisfied with your replacement(s) then this particular deal can be done. BTW, Cleatus is a pretty cool looking gecko, I love the white on his tail. Keep us posted on his progress over on GF and here too.
 
The white tail tip is his regenerated tail. =] But it's cool looking.

When he hunts, his tail tip shakes, and he turns around to bite his tail. So I THINK that's how he lost part of his tail. Lol.
 
Just to make things a bit more clear:

I'm sure he will be fine, but keep me posted.
Thanks,

This was sent to me after Matt shipped the geckos, and he made no mention of the hemipenes being exposed. They may very well have not been at that time, because as I said they were not stuck and retracted just fine. I just wanted to make it clear that prior to our transaction I had no knowledge of ANY health issues with the gecko that this thread is about. Things have been resolved and Matt has agreed to do the right thing in regard to the issue.
 
Apology

Matt, none of my posts were intended to dirty up your name. If you hadn't noticed my name was being drug through the mud, so to clear things up I posted the truth. Take a look at how many times I have posted that you are in the process of rectifying the situation. One more for good measure.

I realize that I was a little harsh in my last post and apologize for my anger. Yes, it was not right for me to have reacted with profanity, but I am only human and get really sick and tired of the crap that people say in these forums. I now realize why most of the leaders in the Leopard Gecko industry stay off of Forums in general. Some people need to stop talking smack about situations where the facts are misrepresented or not even close to being true. So much for being innocent before proven guilty. I'm proud to say that this will be my final response on this forum. I didn't choose to raise Leopard Geckos so I could sit around and act like an immature middle school student that needs to rip on other people to make themselves feel better... I've got better things to do with my time.:thumbsup:

That is probably smart as you continue to post not using your correct name.

Ok great Matt! So I guess that means you will stay off of MY forum site from now on, which BTW is where the same in which this thread was started about took place at. So we wouldn't want you to be on one of these forums, right? See ya.

Bleh, I meant to say: Ok great Matt! So I guess that means you will stay off of MY forum site from now on, which BTW is where the deal in which this thread was started about took place at. So we wouldn't want you to be on one of these forums, right? See ya.

As an aside, I will politely ask you to stay off of GF. You contribute nothing to the site in any way shape or form anyway, and never have.
