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.
yes i infact have gotten alot of great deals from him he is a great guy and has top notch reptiles in better condition from most other people i have seen i give highly recomend him..
GREAT JOB!!! Joe Johnson is the same guy that ripped off my buddy Ken Hilton last year. I e-mailed Ken about this post, but he's on the road a lot and didn't respond yet.
I believe Joe took him for an albino black rat snake in a trade and never sent his half. I would use exreme caution with this individual. I believe there was a post about this on the old board, but I can't get back there.
ken hilton sent me a burm that was mite infested and he also sent a dead corn snake when i recieved them i noticed this and then sent them back a few days later this is ripping someone.. off and john i didnt get you address send it to me so i can get you snake to you

So which one is it....
Is she a her or a him?
Because you called Jim a she which means girl.
Jim has pythongirl86 as an e-mail which means girl
and her name is Jim?
Tell you what....have this Jim person e-mail me from their own computer. Or better yet......have them post from their own computer

Oh, but it most certainly does, especially considering the writing styles are identical. The exact same grammatical errors that appear in your posts are repeated in that reply. Same computer, same writing style...kinda makes you wonder.

She? Interesting...I've never seen a female named *Jim* before.

Interesting how a story changes in a year's time. Here's what was posted on the topic one year ago:
</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Ok everybody ,I need your opinion. Tell me if I have been had. Joe and I were going to do a trade I had a big burm and an odd adult corn . He wanted them for a tiger retic. We agreed on the trade. We were going to ship at the same time. I shipped, he did'nt. He told me he could not ship because of new F.A.A. regulations. He received the snakes the corn was dead evidently due to the burm smushing the corn. I told him that was my bad . I told him to take $80 of the bill leaving myself due $192 for shipping and the burm . This was almost 2 weeks ago . He said he was going to send the money . I have received nothing . I have tryed to get in contact with him many times but no Joe. His mother awnsers the phone and says he is asleep or not there and he refuses to return my E-Mails. Let me know what you guys think. Have I been ripped? I think so . In the meanwhile beware if planning a trade with Joe . Thanks for your input in advance. -Ken </td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
Then, on 10/21/01, it was posted that your phone number was changed.
Tell us, if you couldn't live up to your end of the trade due to shipping regs, then how is it that you sent the snakes back "a few days later? Then, of course, there's the nasty little detail of Ken still trying to contact you one month after the deal to either get his money or snake.
The one that I get the most amusement from, though, is:

You have had ONE positive response, which was posted by yourself. Aside from that, the feedback about you on the old BOI has been negative.

Joe, What snake are you going to get to me? I don't suppose it is the Woma's that you have since promised to someone else on the classifieds page? Appearantly, the reason you have not responded to my e-mails is not because you haven't been on the computer. I had the gut feeling that this deal was too good to be true. Thank you BOI and Ritchie for bringing this to light for me.
The way I met Joe was when he responded to one of my ads about a retic I believe. I said I would trade for Southern or eastern hognose, and he magically had a friend who bred them...even southerns!!! "in all colors"
Now, any hognose persons know that h. simus is nearly impossible to find! It took me three years to find the 2 pairs I have now.
I asked for pics, and he said they had no digi cameras available. I then asked for him to ship first, and he said no. This put up the red flag. I knew he was lieing about everything. He said he would trade if we shipped the same day, but that would be way too easy for a scumbag to fake.
My buddy Ken agreed to ship the same day, and low and behold, The Python Hunter from FL (Fl's crawling with pythons like Jersey's crawling with Taiwan beauties)! made an excuse, and Ken never saw his stuff again!
It looks like someone has been saved because of his board yet again! Great job, everybody!
How many messages of yours do I have to delete before you get the message about my rule of posting messages with your FULL NAME included?
I understand you feel what you have to say is important, but if you continue posting messages without attaching your name, to save me a lot of future work, I will just have to boot you off of this site. Not trying to be harsh, just trying to drive home a point here.
This is for Joe - It never ceases to amaze me that someone could be selling approximately 8 thousand dollars worth of snakes (a pair of four foot Womas and a pair of four foot Blackheads), yet not have photos of them or access to a digital camera. Now with a cheap digital running all of $40, wouldn't it make sense to increase your chances of selling the "high-end" pythons by purchasing or borrowing a digitial ? Heck, you can grab a scanner nowadays for about 10 bucks at a garage sale. As for the BOI giving you great reviews, well if in fact you did post for yourself to boost your reputation bet you didn't count on Ritchie pouncing on it so quickly <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
Looks like you might have saved a few more people some serious cash there Ritchie !
