    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.

    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....

Info Need some advice on a situation involving Alea Rodriguez.

I also omitted the screen shot of a personal issue of hers for her privacy, which seems to be where all this is coming from but that doesn't excuse the way she's treating me either way.

Would that be her schizofrenia?

As a wrap up, the animals were returned to Alea earlier this week and while we had a FedEx glitch (Thank G-d for Ship Your Reptiles) this story is now closed.

Good news, thanks for the update.

Kudos to you for stepping up and putting the animals welfare first.

Who are you to post something about someone that's personal and also has been over for months? Go on somewhere.

Actually, knowing that would have (slightly) changed my opinion regarding her character. As it is, I wouldn't do business with either of them, but of the 2, Alexis seemed more sane imo.

Omg ffs I am not mentally ill. If anyone is mentally ill it's elexis. Those conversations were between what was suppose to be 2 friends and not shared with the world. U want to know how sane elexis is? Go be friends with her for a day.... she is the worst excuse for a friend if I've ever seen one. All of you think you have a right to judge this situation when in fact you dont. I asked herps alive to step in and also paid them to do everything that was done BECAUSE I put my animals first instead of putting some petty squabble on a forum for a bunch of strangers who k ow nothing about either of us to judge. If anyone is an over Facebook fanatic it is her not me. Posting it on fb and ruining her name was not my first intent which apparently was hers, because that's all she has tried to do here. This post wasn't for advice this post for her to try and validate her trying to steal 6 snakes that were not hers to begin with. If any of you must know the REAL reason I told her to kick rocks..... she was caught trash talking me to multiple people.... in fact she planned this whole fauna thing for awhile apparently according to the messages I read. Take what ever sides you all want because fact of the matter is I DID WHAT I NEEDED TO NOTHING MORE they are home, and I'd appreciate it if all of you kept your speculations to yourself until you ACTUALLY KNOW the person you speculate about.

Since this is permanent and I don't really care how it makes ME look anymore..... since she can put my personal info out there I'll put hers...... the money she uses to buy the things she does comes from her autistic sons disability checks yet she ALWAYS complained about how they couldn't pay this, couldn't pay that yet she kept buying snakes. She even had her water on illegally with a 500+ water bills well according to what she told me... parenting? Her version is playing on play station live and yelling at her children at the top of her lungs instead of ACTUALLY parenting..... if I'd known she couldn't pay her bills I wouldn't have sent my animals anywhere near her. I did so because in my time of need she pretended to be a friend.... Lisha Stearns sent her a free snake IN EXCHANGE FOR A BABY WHEN SHE BRED IT and instead of sending the snake back to Lisha when they were no longer friends SHE SOLD IT!!! I dunno how you all look at that but I think it was messed up. Not to mention the animals she had or did have none of them she knows genetics of except for one she bought from DaVinci boa..... with all that said...... I've got things to do.

Wow. Stay classy Maela. Nothing like smearing reputations to try and repair your own. Without proof this is all unsubstantiated anecdote. You chose to work with her, so what does that say about yourself? You both acted like juveniles during this entire process, and you are continuing to. You need to know when to let sleeping dogs lie.

Thank you Keith for taking the high road to get the situation resolved. With luck, this thread will die. Unfortunately, due to the personalities involved, I'm anticipating another fifty posts or so of Facebook drama before it does so.
 
I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY REPUTATION ON HERE!!! WHAT PART OF THAT DON'T PEOPLE GET!!!! And unlike her I don't take every screen shot I can get of private conversations..... kinda funny how she just manages to have all this on hand!!! It's not smirring a reputation when it's cold hard facts. If you really want proof of her having things on illegally I'm sure I can find it in our conversations of over a year!!! If I had that much time to spare from my ACTUAL life.... the only reason I responded to this in the first place is because I'm getting multiple screen shots and frankly I don't care anymore!!! I have what's mine back and don't EVER have to deal with her again.... if anyone else is smart they wouldn't either because of what I mentioned above.

Talking about letting sleeping dogs lie? How about the last 6 months that I've got the hate mail from alot of people on her friend list? Or how about the fact that she constantly pops up in my inbox despite the fact I blocked her months ago..... u want to talk about letting a dog lie? Then maybe someone needs to glue her mouth shut and sew her fingers to her eye lids because she can't seem to let any dogs lie!!!

I'm tired of playing these damn games!!! Everyone thinks everything went smooth it didnt!!!! I sold a snake and they handed off the wrong one. Now my boa is ridiculously sick!!! And getting more so!!!

Maela, are you going to name these parties you have mentioned? The "trash talkers" and the sources for the messages you have read?
 
That's none of your business and no kudos to Keith!!! Why? Because he sold a snake for me and gave them the wrong snake he apparently didn't know the difference between a jungle carpet python and irian Jaya carpet python whom both BTW look completely different!!! Not to mention the sick snake I now have that was SHIPPED SICK!!!! was actually not even properly packed to be perfectly honest either!!! So no kudos to Keith!!! He has the 100$ that I paid into the shipping that came from me selling the irian Jaya that I would like back to pay for my boas treatments!!!

Obviously, you don't. But your deteriorating reputation isn't just 'on here', an internet search of your name will bring up this thread and your (mis)behavior to anyone curious enough to do a search.
Not so good for you, but fortunate for any others who might be looking before they leap into any sort of transaction with you, that they can see ahead of time what lies in store.
