    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....

He posted a 1600g female pied for $450 on June 9, 2015.

Very responsive at first, until I called him out.

The picture he claimed to be his snake was from a posting at a different site by the actual owner. When asked about the posting, he stopped responding, and deleted the ad. He hasn't said anything about it since.

Also beware, looks like he "sold" his pied to Exotic_By_Nature with a name Randy Morris. This account was created the day after the post July 10th, thanking him for the snake. He was suppose to "ship" the pied that day (10th). Unless he drove from Virginia to illinois or vice versa, it's not ideal that the buyer received the pied the same day. Very Fishy!!!



 
Hell of a coincidence with the email address on Exotic_By_Nature.

Great work folks

It is the people that have the know how to root these things out that helps us all. Thanks for the effort and information!
 
This kid lives down the street from me. If anybody has been scammed by him and needs help coordinating with the local authorities, let me know!
 
Is this the guy? Just wondering because he is trying to sell me a massive female boa that he says came from Exotics by Nature. This guy appears to be from and living in Natchez, MS and Exotics by Nature is in Louisiana.

This may wind up being an in-person deal, since shipping may be prohibitively expensive due to her size.

Check out his live video on his page (public). Feeding snakes on top of their own feces and shed skin, water bowls either dry or full of dark brown liquid :)
 
Ugh, that room and those cages are absolutely disgusting and a fire hazard of crap piled everywhere! Yeah, I realize that snakes can be messy, but if you're making a video, check that your cages are clean. Those are obviously rarely cleaned with all the old crap. There's a poor beardie on paper with no light. There's also a gaboon viper in a tank that doesn't look super secure. That's an accident waiting the happen. It's also sad seeing the short tail with a completely dry water dish. They need lots and lots of water. Those poor boas, also. I would never buy from him unless you're willing to take on some health issues. I took a few screenshots of the video, but the quality isn't great.
