    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....

Anybody know Jerry Tubbs or ever heard of him? He used to be on these forums but then disappeared. any help would be great
 
I have had an email since then, seems like he was good about making/changing them. I talked to him in 2001, his email was [email protected]. I had payed for 3 baby redtail baby's and a 50% het for albino ball python and never seen them. Oh well, it happens, its been 5 years so I guess I should just let it go huh, lol. Later

Unfortunately Jerry did not exactly have the best rep in the industry. I remember him from the old Herpauction days. One of the more humorous stories about Jerry was his habit of sending prohibited animals through the USPS. As I recall, at one point, the Post office cut off mail delivery to his home as punishment for getting caught breaking the rules one time too many.

You should honestly let this one go. The odds on making this transaction good are slim and none.
 
Oh, I have long foregotten about getting my money back from him. Just was interested if he was still screwing people royally.
 
Last time I heard from him I believe he lived in Paris, KY. He sold me a ghost ball python "recovered" from an URI that died within a week. That was 2001. He requested the dead body back (and so I did) so he could get a replacement for me with his supplier. It never happened. He will always be remembered over here...
