    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....

OH! p.s. if u hate this site stop exploiting it and the people on here and do us all a favor

LEAVE...

not just the site


the hobby.

oh wait im sorry, ur not in it for the hobby, ur in it for the money


my mistake.
 
Thank you for all the concern...

Currently, the little gal seems to be doing alright.

Her temperment isn't all that fantastic... she's pretty spastic, but not overly nasty like most emeralds... although I bought her because she was "very tame & handleable."

The mouth gape has seemed to lessen... I plan on letting her shed out the scale rot, hopefully get the mouth completely fixed, etc.

She has been eating at fairly regular intervals... and defecating okay.

Nothing wrong with him posting his good experience in this thread or adding to one of the many other threads about Vinny. But, he will have to use his real name here and has been notified.
 
Thank you for this post. Was about to purchase a Whitelip from him and quickly changed my mind reading this. No way could I risk potentially getting my babies sick from ordering from them. Thank you again, BOI. You're always there to watch out for us. :)
 
Vinny,

I'm not sure who else uses your companies name, but I know it wasn't you because it was a female I was talking to. She was with you at the last richmond show or so she said. She said she was "with and part of off the ark." Right before the show, she made arrangements to come pick up the snake and after taking the day off work for her, she never answered her phone or arrived.

Then closer to the day of the show, she sent me another email, regarding a different snake, asking me to come meet her at your stand and to bring the snake. Luckily I had to meet someone half way between here and richmond because she never answered her phone again. When I got home I realized this was the same person. She of course responded to another one of my ads and had no clue what its means to be "blacklisted."

I will dig up the emails and name.
 
This is Vinny

Hello everyone. I am glad the emerald is doing ok. I really am.

I know Angie, she is a customer. She does not represent us. She seems to like picking up animals and flipping them which is not illegal or immoral or actually that much different than what I do in the shop, but she is not OFF THE ARK or affiliated with OFF THE ARK in any way. She is not a bad person, just not OFF THE ARK. OFF THE ARK is just me, Vinny Ferraiolo. If it is not me they have nothing to do with OFF THE ARK.

Merry Christmas everyone
