    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....

Has anyone ever dealt with Mario Gotti from Florida?

Well now that hes gone what was the address in Plantation, FL ? or have you guys already counted ray ray out of this one? I know Ray has claimed to move out of the country and still owes some big money. Paul
 
Paul,

The problem with posting that address is that it's not his but from what I was told it's his grandmother's. For all I know grandma might not even know what Matt is up to. Apparently Matt's cell phone is from Ft. Lauderdale. When in doubt don't send money to an address in Plantation, FL.
 
Well Im glad that we found this thread going on..this "Mario Gotti" was just e-mailing us a few days ago wanting female pastels, and he also told us what he had available .. here is what was in the e-mail.

"i have clowns,gentic stripes,laveder albinos,lesser plattys,spiders,pieds,het pieds,het gentic stripes,het clowns,het lavnder albinos

i also have

double het albino clowns
double het albino g stripes
double het albino pieds

you name it i pretty much have it i am looking for some extra female pastels"

When we asked what spiders he had left, all he said was left were spiders het for albino.

now that's funny. a nobody with that kind of stock? Hey I've got this bridge for sale!! :toiletcla
 
did someone say bridges

I'll take 2 of those bridges, can I pick them up at the bridge show?
 
Please realize that this is no longer a 100% honest business and it probably never was. There are a lot of people that check with breeders to see what they have available and then they make up their own list of available animals. There is 'Got Mice?' in Plantation which is Don and Jason....anyway Don deals with a lot of people around the country and moves a lot of balls either by trade or cash. All it takes is 'M.G.' to place a call to either Jason or Don to see what they have available and wallah, you have MG and his 'availability list'. This is also a good reason why he may not be able to come up with pics right away, he would have to wait to get them from other Ball python guys. Also keep in mind.....that the guys that he may be getting them from may be actually be getting them from other guys as well. It's a vicious cycle but it is the reptile business so nobody should be very shocked.

Just my 2 cents...
 
Someone Paypal this sucker .10 cents and then his/her (Ray Strickland!!!!!) name will pop up (Ray Strickland). I still think Way Way has his hands in this somehow.
I too have heard the story of Ray Ray moving to the Bahamas to start building/construction among other things. Remember though, Ray Ray has had 3 heart attacks, 2 divorces, and a partridge in a pear tree since he ripped off Skip Riddle.

Hey Ray, I have a REAL FUNNY FEELING you are behind all of this, whatever happened to that little $5 G's you owe ol' Skip? You claim to be a big dog and have all this cash, cough up some tough guy.

Oh my, I may have just struck a nerve with Way Way!!!!! Good, it's about time.
 
hmmmmm

I tried also...it sent him a notice to collect his money...

Rich,

Just out of curiosity, did Mario ever ask for permission to post?

Thanks.
 
Mario contacted us to purchase a 1. Mojave Ball Python. We worked out a great deal with him and he never sent the check like promised.
 
All I'm going to say is Mario Gotti is Mario Gotti. This is not Ray or anyone else. I happen to be local and have spoke with Mario several times over the phone and in person. Sadly we have never had any deals go through. He doesn't plan on comming on here to post. He is NOT going to daytona. I haven't seen his animals. Nothing more.
