    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....

Never received snakes!! what should I do??BAD GUY

I purchased tree adult ball pythons from a guy called jorge simmons the 18th of oct.b ( I paid 350$ including shipp for the animals ) his email is [email protected]


He replied his emials without any problems when I was aking him for payment info, One week after I made my payment he writed the following email:

hey, i had a computer virus that whiped my whole computer out, i just
got it
back today and i will ship the balls a soon as possible, my internet
only
works off and on, so i will do it in a couple days when this is fixed.
thanx...

I waited more time and he sended me this one Nov 10.

i just got my computer back up and running today, hopefully it stays
this
way!!! im going to send u 3 of my largest female balls shortly! im
sorry its
takin so long, my computer is messed up with a virus! i will try and
email u
tommorrow! thanx..

I haven't heard more from him since then and I still don't have my females.

I opened a claim with paypal and here is the outcome..

Well, Steven.... In this particular case, I don't know what you can do that you haven't already done, but, in the future.... if you're looking to buy something from an individual, and they either refuse, or don't have, a working phone number you can call them on, I wouldn't take the chance.... There are MANY reputable dealers out there that sell female balls (I could name 3 right off the bat), so why take a chance with an unknown??.... Doing things by email only is very iffy at best.... you should get as much personal info on them as you can before you send out any money.... if they're hesitant to give you any.... run, don't walk.... you could also think about sending them a POSTAL MONEY ORDER.... they would have to give you their address, and if something DOES go wrong, it would be a FEDERAL offense....
But, good luck with this.... for all you know he COULD be telling the truth and you will have your balls this week.... if not, I wouldn't hold my breath....

I don't want to make a general accusation here, but if I saw someone's email, that I was about to send a few hundred dollars to, contain the word 'freak' right next to the number '16', I wouldn't have even thought twice about it.
In many cases, a pesons email is followed by a number which is usually their age or birth year.
This doesn't gaurantee that he is an immature 16 year old, or that a 16 year old can't conduct good business, but I would steer clear either way, because I don't like even the slightest hassle.

Just my $.02

Hope it all works out for you.

I don't know anything about this person, but the first thing I wondered was what in the world does a computer virus have to do with shipping out the snakes. As far as I know, my computer does nothing that is involved with shipping. If it was an issue of letting you know before he shipped, well when he let you know he had the virus he also should have let you know they were being shipped. At any rate, the deal with the paypal is that they can only get you the funds that are left in the actual paypal account. If he already transferred it out, well unfortunately you out too.

Hope it all works out.
