    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....

Ok so I contacted him on the 16th about some spider ball females he had for sale. I offered to trade some animals I had available for 2 of them, he had 3 and had sold 1 so I know someone else out there has dealt with him, anyways he agreed and so we set it up so that we would ship on the same day (which I now know is kind of a no-no). I shipped mine out yesterday (8-18_ and they were delivered at his house at 9:03 this morning. It's 8:30 pm here and I have no package here. I've tried messaging him on here and nothing, tried e-mailing him and nothing, his profile says he hasn't been on since yesterday. I have no other way of contacting him, I never got a phone #, which I found out is another no-no. Where do I go from here? What should I do? I'm bumming out:(
 
hi i was going through with a deal with him and when i told him i'd meet up with him he stopped texting me. His number is 1603 261 1585. he has a myspace if you want to check it out. I hope all is well but i['m 99% sure he is a scammer. He only joined about 2 weeks ago. You should look into people before you trade with them. Just because they give you a good deal doesn't mean you should just take it. Do your research, ask around, look for feedback etc. I hope everything works out for you. best of luck.
 
Is this the same person that had an albino ball they wanted to trade but with no feedback they insisted they wouldn't go first and weren't out to rip anyone off? The ads appear to have been deleted.

Post all the details you can, at the very least warn others of this person and not to do business with them.
 
yes that is the same guy with the albino ball that was really cheap and only had one picture of it and said 750 grams in a year meant it was a slow grower lol.
 
I'm not sure if it is the same person. Here's the entire list of every message I have with him.

Im on my break now so im going to ship them right now. Im on my bosses computer just to let you know they are being shipped. When I get home tonight ill give you the tracking number. Also UPS will be at your house by 10:30 am to drop the package off. Thanks.

So you can either ship on monday or its not that I dont trust you or anything but you can ship the same day as me if youd like. I work late I get home around 8:30-9:00pm I just wanted to give you a heads up on that so your not waiting for a tracking number all day and being like where is this guy. So if this works for you just let me know.

So I can ship either this week or next week, and it's up to you on how you want to do shipping charges. I've had people pay for the shipping on the animals they're receiving and people pay for shipping the animals they're trading out. It doesn't really matter to me to me either way so it's up to you. Just let me know what you want to do

oops just wanted to add that the top two entries are switched. I tried to get all the messages and some of them weren't in order it should read

OKAY NOW I'M IRATE!!!! I called the number you gave me and the guy called me back. I asked if he was steve, he said no, I asked if he dealt with reptiles, he said no. He's a two faced liar. To top it off, I decided, just out of curiosity to check the craigslist in his area and found this ad http://nh.craigslist.org/pet/1331512825.html in case he deletes it this is what it says
I have some reptiles I would like to find good homes for. Please email for pictures thanks. Adoption fees apply.

Adult Female Red Tiger Bearded Dragon very nice morph
Tangerine/Carrot Tail Leopard gecko Female
Blizzard Leopard Gecko Female
Pastel Ball Python Female very nice colors
3.5" Blood Python Male
I proceeded to send an e-mail to him inquiring about the animals and asking for pics. This is the e-mail I got
Here is the list and prices. I also added a couple of other things I did not post up yet. Let me know if your still interested thanks.

Red Tiger Bearded Dragon Female-$200
Tangerine/Carrot Tail Leopard Gecko-$30
Las Vegas Albino Patternless Leopard Gecko-$30
Jungle Pastel Ball Python Female 2.5 feet 700-800 grams-$150 <- this is really a male, sperm plugs and everything
Blood Python 3.5 feet Male-$100
Jungle/Coastal Cross Carpet python 8 feet Female-$200
Reticulated Python Het for Blond 2.5-3 feet Male-$120 <-not mine
Pair of Pastel Ball Pythons 2 feet long sub adult-$120 <- not mine

He sent pics of the animals, and guess what?!? THEY'RE THE ANIMALS I SENT HIM!!! One of the pics even has the leopard geckos in the container I sent the bearded dragon in!!!!! OMG I'm going to explode.
 
i knew it. i knew he was a scammer. i'm so sorry. it just sucks that you give him your animals and he just tries to pawn them off like that. That is the number he gave me and we had conversations, and trust me that was his number. Try tracking it or something.
 
Kristin,
That # isn't Steves. His personal phone # is 603-930-3261..He's a 17/18 yr old kid. I hope this helps and he makes everything right.
 
update-
Well, he messaged me back with some excuse as to why he didn't ship them and promised he'd ship them this morning to get here tomorrow. He sent me a tracking # this morning and he did ship a package that's 1.9lbs which would be about right. He did ship it, yes, but via GROUND!?! The estimated delivery is 8-25, that's NEXT TUESDAY!!:eek: I'm hoping and praying that the babies inside will be okay and arrive here unharmed, or even ALIVE for that matter:( how can people be so stupid??:angry:
 
I just wanted to add that the phone # and address in the posts is NOT the person who's actually doing this. It turns out someone, who was an acquaintance of the kid let him use his phone a couple times and let him ship the animals to his home since he was at work. Just wanted to clarify that so he doesn't have any problems, since he was jsut caught in the middle of this whole mess.
 
The package arrived here yesterday. I video recorded as I opened it, which was a good thing since the package was completely EMPTY. My next step is getting the police dept from his area involved and getting this whole situation resolved. Luckily I kept EVERYTHING from this transaction so that will definitely aid me in getting this prick.

I don't know a single "acquaintance" that would allow me to make deals with their phone and then to top it off have them ship live animals to their house???
Just saying alot of these times it seems these scumbags work in teams and it adds to the confusion.
I really hope everything works out for you...
You could try this as well, seeing as it's Federal mail fraud:

I hope you'll be posting the video here for potential customers of this person to see.

Best of luck with whatever way you decide to go after him. This is the kind of person this hobby can do without.
