    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....

God i hope nobody sent him the $3000 he wanted for that Snow Boa. I would have to fly out to Cali if it was me.
 
I did think it was odd that he was claiming tha Jeremy Clark had his snow boa for all that time from being scammed but he never posted anything in the Jeremy Clark thread.

EXACTLY
That was alarm number one.
alarm number two was "hey those pictures are way too familiar"
I was gonna let it go (burn out issues)
But then wetceal posted the link to Ralph's site. So alarm number three was ringing.

three alarms is enough. figured i should look into it. While looking into it...ken posted that he was on it. that is when i knew this guy is fried. ken does not normally jump into things like I do. he likes his ducks in a row.

I hit with lots of little nine millimeter rounds.
Ken....hits with a big cannon

So when he posts i now the guy is done for.
 
Paul Johnson - Smells rather Fishy !

Really glad you posted this Ritchie ! I had spoken to Justin Higgs of Ectothermz about this sale, and he warned me off of it !

I inquired about this animal probably a month ago. I offered him what he was seeking (cash) or trade (albino balls). He responded to my first e-mail, but stated he had a trade in the works and was going to pursue that. I left him my home and cell phone numbers, asking him to call me if the deal didn't materialize.

Recently I saw he had posted an ad stating something to the effect of "still snowing" that spoke of the scammers he had encountered, and that he was still up for the trade.

Sent a couple more e-mails with no answer.

My reason to worry, well I would have made that deal as easy as could be. I live in Napa, and could be in Sacramento in an hour. No need to ship or possibility of misrepresentation on either of our ends.

His not wanting to accept my offers, or send any more recent photos, suggested he in fact either did not have the animal in the photos, or that it was not a very good looking adult snake :(

Thanks, Stephen Emerick

Thanks......but Wetceal and Ken get the credit.
I had a little flame of suspicion and they poured Gasoline over it.
 
This guy paul tried to trade me the same snow boa for an animal i had listed on kingsnake. but i knew something was wrong when he kept wanting me to ship first and then ship at the same time but i wasnt giving in to it so i told him i had a guy in sacremento that would do the trade in person on my behalf and i sent my buddy by the address he gave me and it was a bogus address. but he gave me the same photos. im glad you put it out there.



thanks
chris
