• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

    **************************************************
    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.

Bad Guy Alex Estrada - sold me an emaciated skink

You're right, I do know him. There are only three reptile stores in Miami, you're bound to visit all of them since there are so little. I keep reptiles in my classroom and I buy my feeders from his store. In case you don't believe me, since I have such a different opinion than you, here's my receipt Mark. Sorry you had a bad experience but I've had nothing but amazing service from this store and the owner. As for the BTS I saw it in the store plenty of times, that's why I don't believe the OP. It never looked "emaciated" as she put it.

Just make sure to never buy "cherryhead" tortoises from him no matter what he says. You'll be sorely disappointed once you find out they're not cherryheads at all...just like the last person who purchased them and returned them because they weren't what they were supposed to be. Limiting your purchases to feeders should be safe but if I were in your shoes I would want to give my money to someone more ethical.
 
a great way to avoid situations like this is to take a picture of said animals on a dated newspaper....gives a great timeline for general appearance of said animals.
Any and all reputable dealers will honor a request like that....ya know ,,,,taking a picture of the animal on todays newspaper

It’s just the way iPhone does this if the photos are under 1 week old.

Btw not going to get into a back in forth with the “fauna detectives.” I’ve already told Kira to contact me to to find a resolution that pleases her. I will wait.

Since the photo was taken on a DSLR camera that means that they were imported to the phone. The date on the phone will only reflect the date in which the photos were imported, not when they were actually taken.
 
Wow....
Just read the "cherryhead" thread. This guy is a known scammer already. KNOWINGLY mislabeling an animal is scamming.
