    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....

I am just WAY too trusting...

There wasn't a lot of money involved here, but just wanted to make people aware of my experience with these two people.

Basically, I purchased a normal adult female Red Tail Boa for $200 shipped. When I received it and inspected the snake, I noticed right away some large internal lumps along her neck (which I was not made aware of - I was told it was in perfect health). So I call them and told them about it and they agreed to refund the money. I then shipped her back (same day of receiving her) and they got it the next day.

Well, it's been two months now and I haven't gotten back a dime. I even told them that I would pay for their shipping AND me having to ship her back! Oh well, $200 isn't that big of a deal, but hopefully they don't rip anyone else off.

It's just too bad there's people like this in the world...

Hey Robert, I appreciate the heads up but without a little more information it would be pretty difficult to aviod these guys. How did you come into contact with them? Do they have a web site? Where are they from? Are they Fauna members?

Thanks
Kevin
 
Robert,
Sorry to hear that these folks took advantage of your trusting nature, and thank you for putting it here. As requested above, could you give details on all contact info, where advertised, etc. ? Thanks.
 
Info

Oops, sorry for leaving out the important information everybody!

Their email address is: [email protected]

They are Fauna Members, but unfortunately I don't recall their member name, and I don't see it in my email history.

I do know that they're in Virginia. I'll look through my records for the exact city.

Sorry for the lack of info on these two clowns, I just didn't take $200 very serious is all. I simply figured it was a donation to a couple of losers who needed the money. Oh well. I just wanted to make others aware of these guys.

sucks...

sorry to hear you got ripped, but it's good of you to post. I would personally be pretty devastated mentally if not financially if i lost $200, so it's a help to those of us less finacially endowed to say the least
:D I'm just glad that you are able to take an unfortunate incident mostly well.
thanks for the heads up!
