• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Bumping because even though they're not advertising snakes for sale, they are responding to "Wanted" ads.

Some criminals are hard headed &/or refuse to do an honest day's work to earn their money.
Hopefully, everyone will look into Lance, Jessica, & possible related, before trying to do business with them (as this Hailey gal did).
 
He recently joined a FB group I am in. I have made a post and tagged him, as I couldn't contact the admins.

Lance definitely is not done yet. he contacted me through Facebook on a post i had of my snake for trade. He offered me a ton of stuff and kept adding it so i knew it felt sketchy. finally typed him in on here and this thread popped up. good thing because i was supposed to ship out tomorrow. He contacted me through the Facebook page "Ball python trading zone".
 
I have people sharing this on facebook. Reptiles for sale I am in and noticed someone said his wife was in that group so I posted it in there and told people to share it. And also they will most likely just message people to stop any attempts we could make to warn people. How much it's been shared I don't know but I know at least one person did and a couple thanked me for the heads up.

As always, great find Dennis!
It always pays to report individuals/scammers to the police. EVEN if they don't get arrested for a reptile related crime, it gives the police something to work with. It can give them a justified reason to look for that person, question that person, dig up old warrants, and share info outside of their jurisdiction.

What is Lance's wife Jessica up to these days?

The sad thing is that the young child has to watch him mom get passed around from random dude to random dude. I do have to say, she does look like she is embracing life in the gutter though!

all the scamming victims aside (whom will recover just fine), the child ends up being the most unfortunate victim in all of this.
You cannot choose your parents, and unfortunately he ended up with this hand being dealt.
I only hope the child's psychological state remains stable enough to allow him to grow up and make something of himself, unlike his parents.
