    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....

Bought an adult pastel het ghost BP from Michael. She showed up safely and was packed well. She is in shed but size and morph appear to be as described. Would do business with him again.

I sold Mr. Harshbarger a 2011 female lesser several months back. Payment was prompt, good communication, and zero problems afterwards. For whatever it's worth, in our limited conversations he came off as someone with a genuine interest as opposed to underhanded or a flipper. I agree that the thread from 2011 suffices as cause for deliberation and due diligence if you're considering purchasing from him, but I have not read a negative word about him since that thread. Without being either of the two parties involved, I can't speculate, but I will vouch for him from a seller's standpoint.

I had not seen that thread before I made the purchase. I do have to say that thread is a few years old and he has had some positive feedback since then. I am an individual who believes that people can change. That being said, I will be probing the snake when I get home tongiht (I had just ordered in a new set of probes since I sold off my old ones when I got out of reptiles a few months back. They arrived yesterday) to ensure the sex is correct.

She did shed last night and looks to be an excellent example of an adult pastel. As long as the sex checks out, I am pleased with the transaction.
 
I would also like to state that he was very upfront in letting me know that she was off feed due to breeding. I offered her food on Monday and she took with no issues. She has been spending lots of time on the cool side of the cage but I am of the understanding that is a sign of breeding.
 
I sold him some animals over a year ago. At the time, I was aware of his status here on the BOI, but his payment was in full and prompt and his communication was good. Again, this was me SELLING to him, not BUYING from him. But in my experience with him everything was very smooth.
