    **************************************************
    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 contacted Nauti-lass reptiles as I was interested in his redfoot tortoises. After being sent pictures of his redfoots I was interested in a specific 2 that were still for sale. This being my first time buying reptiles from the internet I asked many questions and asked for more pictures only to be told that I was taking way too much time with this transaction and that he has a business to run and cannot accommodate me but doesn't have the time. " I have tried to accommodate you but it is always one more thing". Then after telling him this was my first time I'm trying to figure out how it works etc. He sends a email stating that it's a simple process and that it's not difficult to understand. While I understand he is trying to run a business. The fact that he was very rude to a potential customer was very unprofessional and I do not accommodate anyone to buy anything from this seller
 
I have observed his table/booth/display at quite a few Repticon shows and what he has to offer in person has been nice-looking to me. He has always been willing to answer questions, but I never had all that many to ask since I have "some" experience under my belt. I picked up two very much above average additions at a recent show on behalf of another person and the price, quality, and warmth of the conversation were pleasantly notable.

It is unfortunate that you felt slighted. Please share the communication stream. I have experienced interactions with a large share of individuals who waste seller time or are perceived to. Each of us has a threshold where we may feel the need to cut things off. Some earlier and some later. Deciding to cease deal discussions is the right of any person seated at the table (buyer or seller). There is no obligation to continue for either person before a deal is struck.
 
I'm curious as to what kinds of things you were asking about. A seller may not be willing to spend lots of time.e answering general questions with answers that could(and probably should) be researched elsewhere beforehand. On the it her hand, it seems reasonable to ask some specific things and a picture or two is not unreasonable to expect, unless you are buying a large group or a very uniform species(an individual pic of a green ample, for instance, would be a strange request). Asking for 10 different pictures from every angle of a relatively inexpensive animal will also seem excessive to most.
