    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....

Even tho the mojave and albino male sold Im still with 2 females I am unable to use at the time and I lost 2000 even though I made 700 back from the males I wasnt expecting males nor did I pay for males Any help or info is Greatly appriciated So now its back to the begining for me

Here is the rest of the emails I couldnt get them on the page earlier Its not even the fact I lost money on this deal money comes and goes always has and always will thats not important to me its the fact that the numbers gone and the address is Vacant we talked several times regarding the Females I seen the pics on a current newspaper along with the weights its the fact that He purposely shipped me the wrong animals when he had the ones I paid for If he didnt want to sell them He could of emailed called texted me on the matter. The one thing I have learned in life is that karma is a (im not going to say it) in the end of the deal I got tooken and screwed So lets laugh about the matter why not I cant control it so Im not going to let it get 2 me ( 2 much atleast LMAO) But when its all said and done Mr.Dennis Dalton will get the worst of it (AND NO THAT IS NOT A THREAT NOR PROMISE Karma just works in mysterious ways and it will be through no fault nor doings of mine when Karma comes around and Bites Mr. Dennis Dalton on his >>> I honestly dont see why people would want screw people over you cant build a Valid Stable Name nor Reputation when you do people like this So why do it?? yes He made a quick 2000 but whats 2grand in this market? Honestly Reliable Trustworthy Honest and Decent Breeders Robert Johnson Ralp Davis Ian G Tom Crutchfeild Casey Lasik Ben Seigeil and MANY OTHER both Private breeders and Bussness Breeder alike (IM SORRY IF I MISSPELT YOUR NAME TAKE MY SINCEREST APOLOGIZES) can bring that in plus more and have done it time and time again Thats why people keep returning to purchase from them I want to take this time to Thank The Reputiable Breeders out there that Keep there transactions 100% trustworthy Thank You

Hello,



This is in response to the Email you sent me It is before 2pm so I am emailing that email address Im all ears on your offer.





Sincerly,

Clarence E Payne III
 
With all due respect, your posts are a bit hard to follow; did you do a trade or outright buy from Mr. Dalton?

Could you please post more info on this guy? Like his email address, any addresses he gave you, tracking numbers, anything else you got in the way of information from him?
 
Can you call me (using a co workers phone) at 204-446-2626?

Is that a phone number he gave you? I'm not positive but I think 204 is an area code for Canada.
 
Clarence.. I am a little lost on the emails as well. It never seemed like anything ever happened in them. Did you end up breaking your rule and strike the deal on the phone? With his relentless pursuit of wanting to talk on the phone, he throws up a red flag for me. I do understand why you would break down and deal with him on the phone but, next time, back everything up laying out all the details of the conversation in an email.

Sorry man, it looks like you got taken to the cleaners really hard.

:iagree: As am I... did you talk to this guy on the phone... can you let us know what was said and when? This is quite confusing as it seems this was all done over the phone which in my opinion is a big No No as you don't have much of a leg to stand on! That's why I do all business through PM or E-mail therefore I have a paper trail if something were to go terribly wrong as it seems to have gone in this deal?
 
I dont mean for the post to be hard to follow

I bought the Females from him for 2k 2 of which turned out where males yes that is the number he gave me along with another one to call after 5 pm I didnt pay much to the number as cell phones area codes vary greatly The Address the Package shipped from is 4211 Mobile Highway, Pensacola Fl 32506 The email address was [email protected] and also [email protected] Both of which cant be emailed now and the numbers one didnt even register when I tried to call it about a week ago the other one I got a weird recording
 
I live in Florida.. not anywhere near Pensacola.. I'm in North Central but if you can provide the address I'll see if I can contact one of my friends up there to do some investigating for you.
 
Clarence, did he respond to one your threads or did you respond to one of his. If I remember correctly, you were posting "looking for wholesale deals" or something liek that right? Did he send you any PMs or anything in your threads?
 
We talked on email for a minute I called him after 5 after having the pics sent Via Text/Pic mssg (on current newspaper with date showing) I agreed and bought them Yes I did get took for a fool and serves me right for jumping on the deal so quickly I just want everyone elso to know about this and This Scammer Now I can go to the Richmond Reptile Show empty handed with

Not to knock on the door.. just to see if he is actually living in pensacola!! Just some simple investigating maybe get a phone number or address that the buyer can send a message to.
