    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 experience with Brandon Lockett

I agree with Dana in that it is very "tricky" situation. It could be a mistake that could be passed along from one person to the next. The issue would be different if the seller was the breeder though, as he has to disclose the genetic origin of the animal.

Just an example let us suppose one decides to buy a baby Colombian boa (BCI) advertised as such in the ads. It is a very aberrant and odd-colored boa and, as such, you pay a premium for her.

After keeping her for a 5 months you are offered a very convenient trade. You send her in and the potential buyer notifies you that according to a scale count it is an intergrade between two different locales and not a pure Colombian boa. As a buyer, am I supposed to take every animal I buy to have it properly identified? In my opinion the seler has to assume responsibility of knowing what he has in his hands before posting it. Just an opinion.

Kindly,
 
WOW

Dave is surely an expert.

You see I have not learned to distinguish through supraocculars yet. I have a feeling I know what they are.....but I have not had the full grasp with photos and arrows pointing to it.

But I am however familiar with suboculars.
looking at the left suboculars would have told me blood.
Looking at the right......would have had me kinda confused but I would have thought of it as questionable but probably dismissed it as freak of nature. After all strange things happen in this great big world of ours.

I guess the lesson I learned is.........
I better learn a little more about my supraocculars



Thanks for the lesson
 
I'm having a heck of a time

getting a pic of the custom Neodesha cages I agreed to buy from him. I don't know what's up, he posts knew ads on KS but I get no returned emails about my request. I hope everything is ok. He seemed like a cool guy when I spoke to him about the cages, but since then I can't get in touch with him.
