    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.....

    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....

Thanks, Ben.
"Jeff" ceased to send anymore e-mails to me after these posts were made.

This just in! I received another e-mail from Mr. Hughes, informing me that he doesn't have a camera (he has double hets for caramel/piebald that he produced with his own animals but no camera to take pictures of them with).
 
ok well i recently almost did business with this man... he wanted to trade me for my baby retics i just hatched out for a honeybee ball python... it was all good sapost to happen this Monday 4-21-08 well the week before made the trade i asked around about him and all i got was........MAKE SURE HE SENDS FIRST... he was very keen us sending the same time...... well after i started having people tell me that he needs to send first i called him and told him.. i am willing to do this trade but you have to send first i have heard stuff that i am not liking about you. he said ok thats cool still wanted to do it... then today monday the trade was sapost to go down.. i emailed him. and he told me he could not do it now "sorry i cant this is exactly how i got ripped off last time" ...... that is what he told me...seems like a huge scammer in my eyes... offers deals that are two good to be true then backs out if you call him out!... thats bad business if you ask me,,,
jeff if you read this man... you need to learn a few things
1. if you are trying to make a trade.. you need to ship first.. i mean seriously man... do you go on the internet and say i want what you have. you send me the product and i will send you the money.... NO THATS NOT HOW THE WORLD WORKS.
2. nice try!

so here it is

BUYERS BEWARE!
 
this guy is a real winner. he tied up a bunch of my animals for almost a month. i was going to trade him about 20000 in animals for a pr of pieds, caramal balls, and a pr of clowns. he wanted to ship i said there was no way. i had no way to ship my big retics, and there is no way i would ship on a deal like this , that i would make the 18 hr drive to him and then he got scarse. he pulled the same crap with not having a camera, and his story was fishy! this dude is a scum bag that is out to rip people off. there is no way he has the animals he claims to have and not have a camera or access to one. not to mention he told me his animals are in 2 different places an hour or 2 appart. sounds a little out there to me. i kept getting he was sending pics sending pics, and nothing. i scheduled to go meet him 3 times and he kept backing out. too anyone contacted by this guy beware he is out to rip you off!

I'm telling you this dude is a piece of work. he can not keep his stories strate. any one thinking of dealing with this dirt bag run the other way!

Thanks for the info!!

I have a pair of leucistic rats for sale and Jeff emailed me about a trade. Male spider ball - pictures look good but I have asked him if he can ship first.
Seems Ok but after reading this, I think I need to see the ball before the rats go.

Thanks again
