    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....

Matthew Martin (The Big Squeeze)

Gino,
actually he was not standing up for him.......he was faking it.

He was gonna play the good cop bad cop routine.....we were all gonna be good cops. (hoping the guy can get his money back)

But then it was just so Juicy what I dug up.......I went on ahead and turned him in.

Let me see...He signed one of His posts Matthew Martin the Big Squeeze...
only ...he forgot he was still logged in as you...Wrath's reptiles.
whoopsy....go check out your thread...it might be under matthew martin or Wrath's reptiles.
What else do I know about matt?
You all use the same exact pictures....
You all use the same exact picture server...
You all use the same exact pictures on the same exact picture server.

What else do I know aobut matt?
He says he sold his animals to you....
Then you turn around and sell it for the exact same price he sold it for.
gee Matt/Barry You are tricky
also you both use hbci.com</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
 
Barry.

You keep e-mailing me trying to convince me that you are Barry.

I did a search for Matthew Martin....There are tons of them.

I did a search for Barry Riska.....It did not find a single one
 
Look in the white pages in Winona, Minnesota and you will find it.

Geez is it that hard............
 
I looked in the white pages via the MSN search and found nine Riskas listed n Winona and surrounding area.  Barry wasn't one of them.  Which Riska are you related to there Barry?  There can't be that many unrelated familes named "Riska" in a town the size of Winona, MN.  Can there, Barry?

It's ENTIRELY possible that there are more listings than what my admittedly puney search revealed, but given Ritchie's fairly conclusive evidence that Barry and Matt are indeed the same person, I'd say the onus is on Barry to show otherwise, if he expects anyone here to believe him over Ritchie!
 
The fact is, you logged on under Wrath's Reptiles and said that you were The Big Squeeze.  Pretty obvious mistake there.  Also, just because there are Riskas in MN or even a person named Barry Riska exists, it doesn't prove that it's you.

Look at the IP #
they are the same.

By the way....Barry says he is friends with Martin.
They must be REAL CLOSE  that first add was Done on Matthew Martins Lap just around midnight

Also if you look around the internet....The same exact add was used by Martin on a classified elsewhere.
Not only do they have the same animals..
they also have the same photos...
they also have the same photoserver
they also have the same address for the photos
shoot the exact same wording for the adds were never changed from one person tothe other.

Give it up matthew or Barry.  quit e-mailing me
 
Ok I'll let you all believe what you want.  Matt is a friend of mine.  I purchesed some snakes from him and used the same pics for the reason that I don't have a digital camera.  And yes the come off the same photo server Matt uses,  it was just easier that way.  I do think to many of you have too much time on your hands if this is how you spend your time,  trying to make a mole hill into a moutain for no real reason.  If any one wants to know the truth they can e-mail me.


But for the last time I'm not Matt!!!!

sheesh...you guys even use almost the same exact words in your adds.
you even have the same account on your photoserver.
Probably use the same brain too.
Wrath came around because Matthew Martin will NEVER get a kingsnake account.

p.s.  Dear wrath aka Matthew Martin.  I can't say who did it...
But you were turned in.  I did not know either of you from the other and I did not care.  But you were turned in by someone....look around
could be your own wife....could be your best friend....could be your customers....could be an aquaintance....could be your uncle.  Someone turned you in.  Someone sent your names to me.

Hello all, Barry and Matt; if you want to clear your name, I may be in a position to help. I also live in MN and am a long time member of the MN herp society.  If the two of you would like to come to the next meeting (the first friday of the month at borlaug hall room 335 on the U of MN St. Paul campus at 7<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>0 PM) I could meet the both of you in person.  Winona is about a 2 hour drive to get to the meeting, but it may be worth your while to come up to clear your name.  I could meet with the two of you face to face at the next meeting.  If this is acceptable to you please remember to bring your drivers licence or other picture ID and I will bring my digital camera in order to prove that you are two distict and different individuals.   If you can prove this to me I would be more then happy to post on this board that I have met you each in turn and that I am confident that you are seperate individuals.  Please contact me to let me know if you are interested in this arraingment.
