    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....

Beware of Steve Weissman aka Santa Cruz Reptiles

I'm glad Dave got a snake, but what an ordeal. Like another poster said, knowledge is power. :yesnod:
 
I just popped in and saw this was back up to the top...and I have to say, I get a big grin on my face every time I think about this incident.

Here's the non-Reader's Digest version.

Steve was busted for all intents and purposes...and David wasn't the only person he tried to rip off. The only reason Steve made right on the deal is because he was going to get sued in a civil court, as well as face criminal charges for fraud/theft.

If that's not enough, check this out. After Steve made all those personal insults about David (living in a "red state", "you're probably religious too" and outright accusing him of being a crook), the dumbass actually had the nerve to contact David and ask him to come here and say that it was a big misunderstanding. Ha!

Stay away from this idiot like the plague...and if you see Steve at a show, ask him if he has any empty boxes he's looking to trade.
 
This guy seems convinced the box was crushed & the snake got out. Well if the snake was in a sealed bag or deli cup it could still not escape even if the box was crushed. In my 40 years of keeping snakes i have never had a box arrived damaged. this is a lame excuse, unless the snake was loose in the box & what shipper would do that? Sounds like a total scam & this guy is a thief & a douche bag.
 
Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but the guy really makes me ill. Using snakes as a guise to lure children into his house to molest them is beyond despicable.
