• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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.....

    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....

This person is up to it again!!!
i posted about a month ago or more about him - he responded to my trade ads and offered me YEARLING Jungle Boas, DH Sharp Sunglows and more for average common colombians!

This time he is offering me adult DH Sunglows for a pair of yearling leticia Redtails !!!

i ask for info and pics, and again he responds quickly with absolutely no info, and the same type of pics as last time!!
They are enclosed in a green and blue background box and are in .art format.

This time he uses the name Marshal Riens, last time it was a different name, email and business name.

Just wanted to let you all know to please watch out for this scum!!!

He uses the same tactics, responding to your WANTED or TRADE ads offering you exactly what you want and asking for something much less valuable in return - something that would get some people to 'risk the chance'...

Here is the email he sent me below - his replies contained no words, only images that didn't appear, but I did see the green and blue box - same as last time!

Thanks and take care guys - Joe Rollo - BciJoe
 
someone posted a few days ago about this guy. as i said, i have aol so i looked up his profile. it is the same icon and colors jeremy stark uses. the profile says kc mo which is where independence is located (look on a map) it also says 25 year old male...and he "claims" he has boas, pythons, cornsnakes and hognose snakes. i guess no money was lost so not much harm done but why waste peoples time? i think what he is trying to do is get people to ship first and he really doesn't have anything in return. that would be my only guess.
 
I also got an e-mail yesterday from same person on a trade for my Peruvian females. This is what he wrote.

I have 1.1 cb'01 hypo bcis,.1 cb'00 circleback-ladder-tail hi-pink pastel bci,and 1.1 hypo and anery cb'00. e-mail me for pics!

I e-mailed him back twice for picks and got no responce.
 
Yes, he preys on the desperation of average folks trying to get bigger in the industry... first time he offered me Jungles and DH Sharp Sunglows for about 3 commong boas... and of course he expects you to ship first...
he's looking for the one to pull the trigger before thinking..
