    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....

boca reptiles aka sal tornambe has changed names AGAIN and is now bocamorphs-BEWARE

Wes,

You're up way too early in the morning today (or way too late). His name is Chuck. :p
 
Way to go Chuck.

Sal has no character, integrity, or one single ounce of moral know how.
 
Also let us not forget that he also has another user name on reptobid/reptileauction: Aiena.

It's way too late for me and that's what I get for trying to be nice.

Lesson learned.
 
Not for long!

Thank you Greg for letting me know that. I completely forgot he had multiple user ID's.

Its been reported to the webmaster of reptileauction.com. While its not a violation of the rules to have multiple ID's, it is if both accounts interact with one another or if the other account is used (as in this case) to merely disrupt an auction of another member.

I just received word from the administrator at reptileauction.com that both of Sals accounts have been closed. Glad to see they are top of the issues as of late......big change from just a few months ago.
 
Let me get this straight. On kingsnake.com you as a seller are allowed 3 ads per section per day. Right or wrong?

So why in the hell is Sal listing 5 ads back to back in the BP section? Well it appears that if I change or add onto my business name I can have as many accounts as I want. Hence, Boca Morphs and Boca Reptiles.

Isn't this type of action skating a very fine line?
 
Greg

For once it looks like Sally is doing something marginally legitimate. If you check the View Ads tab, it appears that he actually ponied up for a second account.
 
Well, maybe I was mistaken. I thought a seller was limited to 1 account. If I'm wrong then I send my deepest most since apology.
 
I was under the same impression as Greg. I'm guessing he is breaking the rules. And I for one am simply shocked! Not!
 
I'd expect him to have dome it shady as much as anyone but their system automatically stops you at 3 ads per day per section. If you check the view ads tab, different ads appear under each name. There doesn't seem to be any crossover.

However.....

Here is a little excerpt from their TOS


PetHobbyist Classified Ad Posting Rules and Terms of Service

If this account is registered under a business name, the owner of the business must be listed, and NOT an employee.

Only one (1) account is allowed per business or individual.

So he's busted anyway
 
Crap why couldn't I have read this thread 5 days ago!! I just got three snakes today from Sal, and for sure 2 of the three are the WRONG snakes. I guess he was playing the odds that I wouldn't download the pictures from his ad and he could simply remove the ad and I would have nothing to compare them to. Well he was wrong. I have pictures of two of the snakes and after close comparison I am POSITIVE that neither of the snakes pictured are in my posession. I will be calling him tomorrow morning, but after reading this entire thread I'm not too optimistic.
 
Matt, dont hold your breath! What a piece of crap!!!!!!!! How does someone of Sal's caliber have all of those nice morphs and a decent site hosted by kingsnake?

Not that I would doubt anyone about him, can you post the comparison pictures so we can see what your talking about.
 
I personally bought some corns from "Upstate Exotics" and all were sickly and eventually died. Do not buy from these guys. They didn't want to refund or credit me anything. BEWARE!!!

Matt, that's very unfortunate for you, but Sal has a stinky, at best, track record. I would HIGHLY suggest you file a fraud report with kingsnake.com, if that's where the business took place, to see if anything at all can be done.

When will Sal be stopped? Obviously Neil's "little talk" with Sal to "straighten" him out failed.
 
If you take a good look at the animals he has listed, the majority are nothing but hand picked farm raised imports. You know the drill. Pick an import that shows some of the traits of a true morph and market it on the visual traits, not the genetics.

The guy is a real weasel
