    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....

This lady bought 2 pastels from me, I sent 5 , 3 for free, sold 20 that were left over to a customer after she picked, then 2 days later she stated all were dead and she wanted her money back.
After she told me the day before how nice and healthy these turtles were, no swollen eyes or etc..Then on here she stated they died from URI in one day, every turtle I had seen with bad URI are a mess , swollen eyes, runny nose, lethargic etc...
Turtles with URI don't die suddenly, it's a terrible drawn out ordeal. Also she posted a thread excluding the 3 that i sent for free...nor did she feel it was to her benefit to state that they had died as well.
All in the same day...at the same time.

Be Aware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Wed February 4, 2004, I contacted Wonderful World Pet Supplies by the Internet.I saw an advertisement on Kingsnake.com for Pastel Red Ear Sliders. The vendor had a guarantee listed on the website for the Pastels that the turtles are Live, Healthy, Happy Arrival Guaranteed. Each animal comes with a one week health and feeding guarantee. I contacted Justin Mitcham the owner of the company. I inquired about the price, shipment and guarantee, for two Pastel Red Ear Sliders and shipping. Justin told me the turtles would cost $125.00 included was shipping. I paid him immediately through my paypal account with credit card. He then shipped the turtles to me with five extra 3 pastels with deformities and two red bellies. The turtles did arrive the next day February 5th. I contacted Justin to let him know that I received the turtles they seemed to be OK. I brought them home put them in a proper aquarium at the appropriate temperature and tried feeding them, none of them seemed to want to eat. I tried numerous foods over the next two days. I contacted Justin I told him they weren't eating and that they looked sick. He told me that they need sometime to adjust, he told me the temperature of the tank should be 75-80 degrees and told me to try feeding them worms. I emailed Justin back I explained to him that my temp in the tank is between 75 and 80 degrees and I will try the worms. I also told him that I have experience with turtles, and that I do have other ones. He told me to keep him posted. Monday the 9th I emailed Justin and told him four of the turtles died. Tamara wrote me an email back stating that Justin was out of the office he will get back to me on Wednesday the 11. Tuesday the 10 I emailed him again, thanking Tamara for letting me know about Justin. I also told her that another turtle died. Now that 5 out of 7 turtles died, I noticed that the other two turtles were sneezing, yawning and also not eating. This is a very common symptoms with turtles that have pneumonia or Upper Respiratory Diseases. I took these two turtles to the Vet to have them looked at. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic injection (Baytril) daily for these two turtles. I finally got the turtles to eat and it looks like they are getting better. Justin finally contacted me via email on Thurs February 12th He told me there is no way the turtles could have died that it is my error. Also, that I need to send pictures of the aquarium and dead turtles, then he might consider a refund. I have repeatedly sent emails and phone calls with no response because I have no address to send the pictures to. I have been repeatedly hung up on when I call Justin after being asked who is calling him. I have even wrote to him just asking for the two Pastel Red Ear Sliders to be replaced. I have received no response. Justin advertises on his website with the guarantee that the turtles come with a one week health and feeding guarantee. The two turtles that I purchased only lived 3 1/2 days. The turtles didn't live the week Justin and his company advertise. I am asking to be reimbursed $125.00 for this false advertising that Wonderful World Pet Supplies is advertising.
