    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....

A good friend of mine alerted me to this.  So I decided to investigate.  So my friend deserves the credit not me.

Matthew Martin Other wise Known as The Big Squeeze seems to have ANOTHER new Name

This time it is Wrath's Reptiles and if you e-mail him the e-mail's name is under Barry Riska  and if you send them your money......it will be a Risk a  (my friend said that not me)

Check out the link -- To "wrath's reptiles" add
http://members2.boardhost.com/SnakeClassified/msg/2755.html

the same "super snake" is also being sold  in the same classified....this time under the name "The Big Squeeze"
http://members2.boardhost.com/SnakeClassified/msg/2634.html

then again on kingsnake--under Wrath's reptiles
http://www.kingsnake.com/market/boid/messages/40669.html

Then again on Fauna as Wrath's Reptiles
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/cgi-bin....;t=4195

Here is a post on Fauna as The Big Squeeze --still the same "super snake"
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/cgi-bin....squeeze


I am not saying anything bad......I am just saying...Watch out for a company that does not know its name....OR KEEPS CHANGING IT
 
Thanks for the head up Rich, or should I say Crooknlies Hunter. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
 
Ritchie,

This was really unexpected. They are from MN too. Has anyone in this list contacted Wrath's reptiles at all either on the phone or though e-mail? If this connection between both is proven I will have to retract my statement on the other Matt Martin.:(

Best regards,
 
Well sorry to let you know that you are wrong again.  I sold all my animals except for a few to Barry Riska and got out of this business except for some personal pets is all.

someone made a big boo boo here..!
now i think ive seen it all.
thanks for the mothers day laugh guys..this is a good one.
 
Hey Matt.

Thanks for coming on here and replying.
Your classified adds have been erased by the owner of the other site.  He erased Both "the Big Squeeze" and The "Wraths Reptiles".  Jeff B. Will also probably be erasing your classifieds on Kingsnake.  Rich might also erase your adds on Fauna.

So thank you for posting.

Thanks to your post......You pretty much backed me up.
I could have looked like an @$$hole.  But thanks for getting my back and proving that you ARE the same person.
 
Ritchie,
You must be wrong because both of the snake classified ads are gone lol. Good work keeping the bad guys on the run. You have to love how he denied it & signed Matt Martin the The Big Squeeze while signed in as Wraths Reptiles, that alone is worth a good chuckle (& people actually send this idiot money?) Hint for Matt your going to need new state now but Richie our Mascott will track your @ss down again

Well, NO surprise here. Ritchie you da man !! Im sorry, but the VERY few that tried to go to bat for him, just mark it off as you were EXTREMELY lucky.

I could have been ripped off for THOUSANDS of dollars from is guy. I could careless if he tried to turn a new leaf. It was short lived. With this is last f$#k up, I doubt he ever had any partners. He used that as a excuse. Plan and simple. Im glad the words out and I hope his statement about getting out of this business is true. Barry Riska !! Yea, deal with him and you "Riska" alot, in the end.

Well there goes my "innocent until proven guilty" policy. I do believe people deserve a second chance he had it and he blew it.

I don't see what the big deal is! I sometimes go by the names Steve Irwin, Michael Jackson, and Don Mattingly...what's the big deal? j/k lol

great job RL!

THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST! And to think, I almost sent this joker a $500 snake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KEEP ON TRUCKIN, RL!
 
Dee----ammmnn! Matt Martin has to be the stupidest guy to post on this site since Joey Smith! And I am pretty sure that the latter fool tried the same stunt.

Daniel, I am surprised at you. Why are you standing up for this moron? Dont you remember, on the old site, how he got busted sending threatening emails to some high school girl?<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
Matt Martin is quickly rising up my list of lowlives in the herp industry. He may even leap Jesse Underhill soon!

Matt, thanks for being so pathetic.

Sincerely,

Gino (Beniquez) from Da Bronx
 
I was going to buy these from him ( see below) We agreed on a price for them and everything was fine until I emailed him back and asked him if he would take a Postal Money Order. And guarantee live delivery. He never did email me back. So I just forgot about the deal. I pay for all my Reptiles by Postal Money Order unless buying in person. If they are not willing to do that I do not deal with them. By the way his email address was [email protected].

Gino and Joe:

You should know me better by now! Do you remember who was the first to post on him in the old BOI? If not check this page out:

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/boi/boi.cgi/Reptiles/0/43631)

Matt told me the problem had been with a partner. Do you think I believed him? Why do you think Ritchie did not jump to my neck after my post? Think.

Although I knew that post would upset some people, I had two objectives:

1. Try to see if he would compensate Anthony.

2. Have him post in the BOI again.

One out of two was not bad.  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Best regards
 
Wow, Richie, you must feel vindicated! It doesn't get any better than that.

Its a good thing when bad people make fools of themselves!

I wonder what new alias this creep will show up with next?
