    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....

Bought a female mochino suntiger and a male white suntiger from Craig and had a great experience with him he responded quickly when I asked about the mochino and gave me a package deal including the white suntiger. Will purchase from him again. Only thing that was sketchy was buying through friends or family on PayPal, but as I got the snakes in good health I wouldn’t consider it a scam.
 
I must say the same thing, Craig was incredible to work with. We had originally purchased a female lavender albino retic from him and there was a shipping problem with fedex and she didn't make it. He worked with me quickly and sent another snake that made it here and she is very happy and healthy and puppy dog tame. My daughter and I both are very pleased with her as well as my fiance who the snake was a surprise for. Very very understanding guy as well as down to earth. Not someone who thinks he is better than anyone else just cus he has cool snakes. Worked out a payment plan with us and even sent her early. Highly highly suggest this man if you want a high quality retic!

The timing of this post with regard to your membership timing was stupid on "you know who's part...wink, wink...

PayPal considers it a scam when people use their service, and cheat them out of their rightful fees. Craig, and everyone else who does this, violates the terms of service, and puts their PayPal account in jeopardy.

Because i gave you the choice to pay the fee or to not. I did not make you send anything friends and family. But i assure you . You wont buy another one from me!!
 
I'm merely stating facts regarding PayPal's Terms of Service.

I bought several snakes this year, and all but two sellers asked me to send payment via Friends and Family through PayPal.

My point is that, as sellers, you all have no right to expect buyers to waive their protection through PayPal. You also have no right to circumvent the rules regarding Paypal's fees for using their service. When you open an account, you agree to abide by their account policies.

When you cheat them out of their fees, you're basically expecting them to work for free. Do you show up to your job just out of the kindness of your heart, or do you expect to be paid? I expect payment for the services I perform at my job. PayPal is no different.

No worries about any business transaction between us. Your customer service stinks, and the way you talk to people is beyond rude. Thankfully, there are many other breeders out there who offer quality animals, and are able to conduct themselves appropriately.
 
:exactly: Kathleen, re: PayPal

And yes, Chris; how ironic is it that the OP (Darayn55) has been a member since May 2018, and this is his first post.
Same with Reptilemom1992, who just joined this month and she chimes in. Pretty funny stuff!

I tried to give you both Karma (Chris and Kathy), but cannot give out Karma for some reason.

You got exactly what you wanted. At a great price. good now you want to say I'm rude. And my customer service stinks. . That makes zero sense. But it's a free county. I talk to people the way they deserve to be talked to .

Excellent post and I agree.

That was a long time ago, Craig. And you're correct - I did get what I wanted, but you're proving my point for me. I've seen how you treat people when there's a problem, and that defines who you are. When things go right, everything's fine. It's how you act when things go wrong, that is very telling.

good now you want to say I'm rude .

I don't just want to say you're rude. I'm actually saying you're rude.
