• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

    **************************************************
    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.

oh yea he was spouting tons of nonsense on Facebook. Few people got it from him. I never grabbed any screen shots of anything as I found most of it just amusing. People can go a little off the handle when called out for screwing up.
 
He also has multiple Twitter accounts:

How did you learn that another snake he shipped that same day arrived the same way?

They saw a post on Facebook and said that it happened to them as well, once I confronted him about it because he said the other 2 arrived safe and alive, he said that only one arrived alive but how am I to know to believe him because he lied the first time and the 3rd person has not come forward.

Perhaps you missed my followup

Yes...but, at this point, the OP hasn't responded; so the claim is based on an anonymous statement found on another site.

Since you haven't been very active here, over the year you've been registered, consider this a reminder that anonymous third party quotation is not acceptable on the BOI. If you want to reference something that somebody told you (or posted someplace), you have to identify the source.
Now that you've referenced it again, you're out of free passes. Who made the other claim?
 
Here are Richard Prater's comments. Thanks for the link, Jena.

Those pictures made me cry. How horrific! Poor baby must have suffered terribly. Hope you get this resolved and I hope karma bites him in the bum!
 
WHY?!?!?! Why do you put heat packs on the bottom! That puts them in DIRECT contact with the animal the ENTIRE time it is in that box during shipping! An animal should NEVER have direct contact with those heat packs! Everytime I have received an animal (just as recently as Yesterday actually!) the heat pack has been taped securely to the underside of the top piece of foam in the box so that it provides heat but is not in contact with the contents inside!

He was setting that snake up for failure from the get go, and the other snake that he reportedly shipped! Honestly, in that small of a box for that big Ball Python...That snake probably perished before it even got in the hands of Fedex. It probably died shortly after being taped shut in that tiny box.

Reminds me of the kid who climbed into an old microwave in the back of a pick up truck during a game of hide and seek. The door closed on him and he died very shortly thereafter. Or the other BOI story that happened a few months back where an animal baked in the front seat of a truck because the sun coming in through the front windshield raised temperatures to deadly levels. With all that foam and that small of a box and that big of an animal, it probably lasted less than an hour at best once that heat pack really got going.
