    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.....

    =====================
    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

anyone know matt at monster cages-(minnasota????

Are you drunk, high, or just plain stupid?

When you're on this siter, you will abide by the rules. It's that simple, Ray. If you don't like it, take yourself elsewhere. If that's a problem for you, I'll be happy to help you go buh bye.

Nasty emails...lol. To clue everyone in, Ray's whining because he received the following...
phantomreptiles,

You have been issued a warning by Ken Harbart on the account of Antagonism Towards Moderators!

You now have 8 warning points.

Please read the rules and try to adhere to them to make my site more useful and enjoyable for us all.

Thanks,
Ken Harbart

Ouch!!

Ken, you must be reeling in pain from that last rapier sharp jibe from Ray/Tom/Lucifer/Phantom.

Seriously Ray...the only one coming off looking like a prize chump in this discussion is you.

Here is the best advice you will receive this evening.

LET IT GO!.....QUIT WHILE YOU ARE ONLY A FEW MILES BEHIND!
 
Uh Oh!

I seem to have graduated to Ray's VIP list. This is the most recent gem I received through PM

Now there's a scary thought.
Ray, since you don't seem to think the rules apply to you, I think you and your "cousin" have worn your welcome. Too bad, So sad. Buh Bye.

Notice the artful use of the smilies? Genius!

I am so pleased that this person has somehow managed to reproduce. What a loss he would have been to the gene pool.
 
It just gets even funnier... I was browsing reptiforums the other day and noticed a "good guy" post regarding none other than [email protected].

Curiosity got the better of me and I checked it out. It was posted "dolohins34real." Oddly, this individual seems to have the same disregard for the English language as our pal, Ray. As a matter of fact, the writing styles were identical, and that really piqued my interest.

I had the mod over there verify the ip address of the poster. You guessed it... it was Ray. There's just something especially distasteful about having to create an identity to give yourself positive feedback.
 
Here's an email that I received from delusional ol' Ray...

This simpleton seriously needs to step away from the bong, go back to school, and learn how to read and write.

Unfortunately, even if he were to do that, it wouldn't change the fact that he lacks integrity.
 
i really wished i found this board of inquiry earlier-
but i must say that i havent had the best experience wiht phantomreptiles-he misrepresented the animlas he sold me, and in my opinion ripped me off

oh well, just buyer beware-it seems that many people (not the best ones) create duplicate accounts and sn-i really dont know why-just suspicious

Don't you just love the "I have no freaking idea how to punctuate so I'll just stick a whole bunch of random symbols in and hope for the best" method of punctuation?

I rarely comment on such things but the irony is that this joker actually thinks we are the stupid ones.

It's also worth mentioning that Ray is doing business illegally.

To begin with, the name Phantomreptiles is not registered with the Divison of Corporations, as is required by FL law.

Also, I can virtually assure you that he lacks a Class III license, as filing the ficticious name is a prerequisite.
 
Just for everyone's info.............

Ray has decided to send Bryon Adzic's 66% het pied males back.

BUT, I guarantee he will keep the paperwork (copied of course) and try to pass off a few normals as pos hets. Just be careful everybody. There is a long trail of paperwork which starts with Reptile Industries, Troy Cromwell, Greg Holland (Me) :) and then Bryon Adzic.

I have a feeling Ray will be around under yet another fictious user name. He still goes by phantomreptiles on reptibid.
 
Still getting the runaround on

getting my het/pieds shipped back. Wish this info about Ray had come to light a few days sooner. I reckon I need to do better background checks in the future.

It should once again be noted that Ray is conducting business in violation of FL law. Perhaps it's time for someone to make FWC aware of his illegal activities.
 
This guy is a mess. I am sorry to be a resident of the same state in such close proximity. I just thank god that the retarded virus doesn't travel through the air or we would all be in danger.
