    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.....

    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....

Dont buy from JOHN TURL from Columbus OH. I purchased a pastel female from John. She arrived yesterday. He shipped her in plain Fed Ex box with 2 tiny heat packs on the bottom of the box covered in newspaper. She is 140 grams less than the weight stated in his ad and she has a RI. I contacted him about all of this.
This is the answer he gave me regarding her weight:

As far as her weight, there was a week and half period of not feeding her because we were trying to figure out a day for shipping as our temps were getting warmer and she needs to be empty when I ship her. She is a piggy and always full of food and other stuff, so not eating for a week and a half she would def. weigh less.

This is the answer he gave me about the RI:

She didn't have URI when she left here. Put her in temps of high 80's low 90's and just keep an eye on her. She may have just drank some water before she left and spit a little up... so I wouldn't get to worried about it.

Unbelievable, stupid responses! I guess he thinks I am idiot
 
I knew about that thread. I had already paid him for the snake and had talked to him about that thread. He assured me I would get my snake. I could only hope he was honest at that point. I would of rather of gotten no snake than a sick snake!
 
I just wanted to hop on here and verify that Linda is indeed who she says she is. I have made multiple purchases from her and spoke with her on the phone on numerous occasions. She is legitimate. She is a very sweet person and a good business woman. I was shocked at how she was treated on here. She was not the one under fire John was. She simply got on here to say that she had had a good purchasing experience with John. I am posting a duplicate post since I found two that she had commented on.

Who's Linda?
 
On the other thread, there's a Linda that posted last in the thread, I think that might be who she's referring to. Not absolutely sure, but could be. Just posted in the wrong thread maybe. :shrug01:
 
Glad I stumbled upon this thread, he had some snakes I would have liked to have.

I am surprised at how many sellers think sending RI or Mites is acceptable.

David, it really seems like hit and miss with this guy. Hes had ONE positive posting and a few negative ones. Even the postive one seems a tad odd to me personally. Id rather deal with people I know who wont be suspect at best.
 
Well, when you have to ask people for feedback, it's likely to be given reluctantly

True, that. And if you have to ASK (or offer future discounts, positive feedback in return or any other form of "scratching back") for positive feedback, then it is somewhat less purely positive and unmotivated, IMO.
