    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....

It's funny that you mention having an open fraud claim against him through PayPal because he told me that PayPal was an "inconvenience" for him due to the fact it tpoker to long for payment to clear before he could have access to his money. My claim has now gone to the legal authorities.

I had a interaction with him as well i was lurchasing the 6ft female kahl albino he had i sent him a fifty dollar deposit an he said he would ship it out soon as the payment cleared i thought that was odd but with the story about hom having a salmonella scare with his first son an now having twons an his girlfriend not wanting snakes around them i was okay with it an the price was low so i thoight nothing of it when shipling day came he said my bad i messed up an they wouldnt be shipped till the following monday so with thay being done i openend a case agaist him on paypal for my money back he said i would have it back that night ot was saturday when i did the case an monday i still had no money refunded so i bumped the case up to a claim and paypal was investigating him but then on monday he was relisting snakes an trying to sell them so i confronted him on here an i was sent a message threatening me about the stuff i posted on his ads about him being a fraud it ended up with me getting banned as well as him for the stuff I said im new here an didnt know about the rules and again im very sorry about that but i finally got my money back and paypal is also investigating him and his account they also put his account on a suspended list after everything i told paypal i have a pic of his id of anyone would care to see it

I have an open paypal money request from him for $475.00. Mixed in with the 75 text messages over a few hour period are some pictures of the snakes he supposedly had for sale. I had to start corresponding with him by text only since his phone calls were long, rambling and confusing. I will try to post pictures of the animals. They will probably be recognizable as animals that belong to others.
 
I'd like to see the pics he sent you! If they are the same ones he sent me, I'll add them to my evidence.

I have the pictures of "his" boas on my desktop ready to post, but I am not smart enough to figure out how to do this. I did notice after blowing up one of the albino boa pictures, the newspapers at the bottom of the cage appears to be in German. Maybe Joe is well read.
 
These were the photos he sent me.

Wow I can't believe I almost sent this guy $600 back on 7/31 for the trio of Bolivians he had listed.Same story about needing to move them out for the twins him and his wife were expecting.Very pushy about needing payment right away but he didn't have a paypal account and was in the process of getting one set up because a buyer of the Surinames from WA.wanted to pay w/paypal too and he had to ship on the upcoming Thursday.
Thought it was a bit fishy that he refused send updated pics of the Bolivians for fear they might regurge their recent meal when opened the rack drawer,along with the different names and contact #'s for text,caller id,paypal.
 
Thank you for sharing the photos. I assumed they were stolen. Here is one of them, the sharp albino boa from a UK classified:

All of those were found online...though I did get a laugh about the person that posted to legitimize them & confirm that they belonged to Landyn (that ad has been deleted; but I'm still watching that account because I don't know if the person is simply foolish vs involved).
 
The more I see this, the more enraged I become. This guy needs to be put (back) in jail! He has $590 of MY money! We can't allow him to get away with this...
 
I sent payment through Walmart. I personally prefer to use PayPal but, after he gave me this long drawn out story on why he doesn't like receiving money through PayPal and how much more convenient it is for him to get it through Walmart, I agreed because at the time, everything seemed legit... I now know that was a mistake and after reading through everyone's comments, I see why he didnt want to use PayPal.

There are some interesting results when one does a search on Krystle Michelle Bair...
 
I won't lie to you, I'm new to the site and was not aware that the post would be used to help somebody scam somebody. The guy told me one thing and now I'm hearing another entirely. I asked him to explain and show a confirmation picture to show that the snake in question was his. he told me that the snake was his and because I did not want somebody to lose business because of what I did not realize was a stolen photo I tried to help the guy.I was not aware of what he was doing and as soon as I understood what he was doing I broke off contact with him. I tried to find my post on here and delete it but the post was already gone. When i texted him today saying "Still waiting ont hat confirmation picture and now admins on Fauna asking if I helped you scam people" he replied "Wtf ive gt an attorney"

Simply foolish, I realize that I messed up rather badly, not involved with him in any other way, was trying to help somebody that I realize now was just a scammer with a sob story. He told me he had twins on the way and that his wife was sick at the time.
