• 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.....

    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....

Please note that this user has a previous account on this site under the member name of "islandreptile".

I only bring this up because it is quite possible that this new account may just go away for violating the "one account per person rule" here. I am awaiting a reply from this person as we speak.
 
Yea ok im a fraud

First of all I did use pictures off the net. I just purchased 50 of each and wanted to start getting rid of them b4 they arrived, I don't see how that's so bad that I deserved to get bad mouthed on this site over it

It is dishonest. You never said that the pictures weren't the animals.

It's also suspicious that you are trying to sell them before you even get them. How are you going to know if they are healthy? Chams are susceptible to stress & double shipping would be incredibly stressful.

So really, you are trying to flip them for a quick buck.
 
And second I had an account for awhile when I was j and d chameleons. After 12 yrs later I came back on the other day, not remembering what email I used or under what name so that's why I must have 2 accounts, but everybody right away labels me as a fraud, on the site and on google. I'm a cop look on Google under family bonds and you'll see I was on an hbo show called family bonds
 
There all healthy my brother ships them to me and no one ever bothered asking if they were actual pics, or I would have told them. I just put a pic up of each reptile. Whatever, im not going back and forth but I'm certainly not a fraud
 
It's called lying by omission.

It's better to be transparent, than to be perceived as a fraud. This business has changed a lot in 12 yrs, you'll have to change with it.
 
Interesting how this isn't the first time you've been accused of using someone else's photos:

Posted on June 23, 2010, updated June 27, 2010

Dan Boswith of King Coops has illegally taken copyrighted images of my coop, removed my watermark from the photo and posted them on his website as his own work and design and is now marketing them for sale.

He has also posted them on Craiglist in various states and I have had Craigslist remove them due to the violation.

He has not responded to my request to cease and desist and continues to keep the images on his site as well as many others he has stolen from other coop owners. I now have an attorney working on the case.

I would highly recommend thinking twice before doing business with a company such as his that demonstrates illegal business practices with no regard.

On June 27th, 2010, hmb changed the rating from negative to neutral and added the following:

Updated from a negative to a neutral. King Coops removed my images from their website. And the legal team at Craigslist removed all the others from their site.

If you click the link there were several people stating the same thing. So how do you feel you have a right to use photos that are NOT yours to represent something you are selling?

And you STILL need to reply to my PM to you about the duplicate accounts. If you don't you leave me little choice in what I have to do. I'm not going to give you a deadline beyond you really need to follow up with me via PM before the next time this crosses my mind. Sorry if I left you with the impression that just ignoring my message was an option for you.

and there not being double shipped. My brother to me, I believe that's once, and yes I purchase them and sell them local and to about 16 pet stores here in long island. And yes most people have orders to fill, so they go out as soon as I get them. Strictly reptiles and all the rest import them and they sell them right away, @ND they also presage what's coming up in there arriving shipment, so they presell as well, and they certainly don't know if they are healthy before they double ship them as you said
 
I never sold any damage chicken coops so that's me, I've always done reptiles, so once again I'm getting blamed for something that isn't true

Since there is now a BOI thread about "Lireptiles", I felt it best to merge the older account into this new one so the member name is retained that matches with the thread topic line. Not normally the way I do things, but this seemed to be the best way at this point. So "islandreptile" no longer exists here as an account.

Your brother to you is shipping #1, and then you to your potential customers would be shipping #2...literally double shipped. Also, you not telling people that the pictures are only representations of the animals you will receive and not ther actual animals is dishonest and omitting information. Don't act like you're stupid in order to justify your flawed actions. Whether you're a cop or not...you're being shady.

Buyer beware.
