    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....

He's advertising Eastern Box babies. His newest ad placed here 3-14-2015:

I have PM's from him with the same photos from his current ad, as well as screen shots of all old 2012 ads with the same pics, should he try to delete those old ads.

9-13-2012 - same ad, same pics

Why do you care? And most certainly why bring this to the boi? Some of you guys have way to much time on your hands. Are you trying to imply he is a scammer or even a bad guy? Who died and left you the turtle police? He never stated the pic was an available baby. Some people are busy and don't want to spend the time on taking pics of every animal. If it's his picture what is the harm in using a stock photo to give you an idea of what his animals look like. Businesses do it all the time. Please stop trying to be the turtle police and find something worthwhile to do with your spare time. Please stop spamming the BOI with this garbage and only use it for what it's intended for. ....legitimate business experiences.

For my own clarity of understanding-

Were photos of the currently available animals requested?

Were photos provided in response to the above specific request?

Were the photos provided in response to the above specific request the same photos used in ads years ago?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I did ask for current photos. I did ask for photos of parents and he did PM the photos of parents. I did also ask how old the photo of the baby in his ad was. I got no response to that question, nor current pics.

He also did say, "I have 7 from this past years hatching that are now about 7 months old and I have 2 that are a year older from the prior years hatching."

Nothing nefarious about that, but why use 2+ years old photos?

And no, Will, I am not implying he is a scammer or bad guy (hence, the "info" tag). I just found it odd my questions went unanswered and he used the same 2+ year-old photos. I'm more than aware businesses use "stock" photos to represent animals. Uh, I already know what baby turtles look like; I don't need "respresentative" photos.
Who died and left you the turtle police?

LOL ... no one. Might be cool, though, to have inherited the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, re: turtle police.

ooooh! I want to join you in taking care of the TMNT!

And I for one don't like the idea of someone using and reusing photos from previous ads...It makes no sense. If you have the animals then you should be able to take updated photos.

Glad to hear that some have had good experiences with this seller, but I wouldn't deal with him because he reuses pictures. But that's me...
