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....

There is no problem with posting it publicly - as long as it is done within the rules for posting here. That means editing profanity, not posting anonymous third party information (meaning "your connection" would have to be named), etc.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
I'll be happy to share, in private, with anyone who has been ripped off by this guy. But I can't share how I got got the info., especially publicly...
On another note, I seriously doubt that he will be posting in this thread. First and foremost, he is a coward, and second, he has no defense of what he's done.

UPDATE... I never received the ipad that was agreed upon. A month and a half later I got a US Postal money order for $300. Again, I traded a female pastel and a male mojave both A+ animals. Also a White Albino Tiger Retic. It cost me $125 to ship to him. So I got $175 for $800 worth of shipping and snakes. We never agreed to $300 cash. That's just what I got. I'm glad I even got that back. This guy is a con artist... a thief... a liar... and an all around bad guy to deal with. I Seriously recommend that no one does any business with this guy.

Well it seems there were at least two moderators trying to help you with your problems.
Really? I could have sworn that mutliple people with "Bad Guy" posts over here are still selling over there. What can people really do? Kingsnake tries their best to make sure people are legit. So does fauna. What else do you want?

Let me start off by saying im not on here alot so this is long over due.
first off I am NOT "hank boiles" or who ever that is. My legal Name is Hank Pyles, and thats what i go by just to set that straight.
Iv done a few deals on fauna and a few have been rough, but all out comes have been finished. I never "stole" from anyone or ripped them off. I did a deal with westcoast constrictors and i was unhappy with the animal expect one. I told him that and he was upset i didnt wanna do the deal a mistake all on my part nothing to do with jeff, i offered to buy one that didnt work so the animal were shipped back and thats that.
I worked out a deal with chris kindred as well, he sent me the 3 snakes as stated for a trade. (retic did come in sick but that was taken care of) Shipping was handled by my girlfriend another mistake on my part(im out of town alot) and the item were shipped to the wrong place. They were received back eventually with even more mix up. So in the long run as stated i ended up shipping chris a money order and that was the end of that havent talked to either since then.
I just want to state again this did end up being adjusted, there was mix up on both parts and i can say im at fault, but in the long run everything was sorted out as best a possible.
But posting things calling me a theif and a scammer is a bit hasty when i did my best to sort things out, there was never intent to mislead anyone, and im sorry for all the confusion for jeff and chris.
And thank you keith for the postive feed back he is a good guy and we did work out a deal i even payed him extra to meet half way on a burm sale.
once again just trying to set a few things straight, if anyone has questions feel free to call or text me 9377651717 or even email me [email protected]
im not on here a whole lot.
thanks hank

Why did you send him $300 if the value of his snakes was around $800 like he says? If anything you should send him whatever amount of money you got for selling his snakes.

Nice try Hank.
What have you to say about all of the lies you told about shipping?
What about the lies about you being out of cell reception, when we both know you were "in town"?
What about the $300 money order in place of the $800 that Chris is out?
What about refunding me the cost of shipping? After all it was YOUR mistake.
Long over due is right. I was lucky to get your attention in the right way to get you to send my animals back, but how many more people have you scammed?
You are a
liar, a thief and an all around piece of !
