• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

An individual calling himself Bryan Farrell (that's probably his real name, but who knows) has an ad on kingsnake.com, selling Chinese box turtles. He says his dad is Raymond Farrell.
The price is great, but he won't accept anything but a check or money order. No Paypal, no credit cards. I don't know him, and I can't seem to find him here on fauna.
Has anybody worked with either of these people?
 
I don't know him either, but only check/money order sounds fishy to me. I would only pay that way if I met in person to receive animals. Just my 0.02.
 
I ran across someone previously that would only accept usps money orders. That was fishy but they had a long list of references that could vouch for them and all went well. However, I wouldn’t trust them without a list of references I could trust.
 
Have not done business with this guy but would not think about him as unworthy to do business with because he does not accept paypal or CC. alot of people want a fast easy transaction so trying to avoid all the games being played with paypal buyers they chose a different form of payment.

Just do your research as you would with any seller.
