    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....

The man that goes by the name "Reptile Ron" out on Arizona is a ripoff. I thought I purchased a 3 ft. female Albino Motley for $155 (shipping included) and have not heard back from him, so naturally I'm a bit peeved. :/ Well, alot peeved and I want to discourage all others from purchasing anything from there. She was supposed to be delivered Friday, May 7, 2004 . . . and she's not here. I thought maybe the guy got confused, so I waited all of the following Friday as well . . . still no corn snake. I was wondering if you've heard of him, or have delt with him before? If not . . . don't! It'll be my first and last time. The website is: https://store.reptileron.com/login.php?osCsid=3d4f167e5048f4d7448d9ddfcbbd0580, Phone number is 1-877-881-6844. This is an unfortunate incident that I want to help others avoid at all cost. Nice website, claims to offer all sorts of supplies, reptiles and supposedly hosts his own reptile show . . .

Sincerely,
Julie K. Coutles

Copy of the Letter to Ron:

I have left several messages, email and on the answering machine, and I am wondering if the 3 ft. female Albino Motley corn snake is going to be shipped? The charges have cleared my bank and are as follows:

05/05/04
MONEY PLUS PURCHASE
AR HOSTING.COM 501-847-8740 AR -31.15

05/02/04
MONEY PLUS PURCHASE
AR HOSTING.COM 501-847-8740 AR -123.85

Please contact me as soon as possible to either: (1) Full Refund of all monies paid ($155 U.S. dollars), or (2) With the tracking number and date expected the shipment (one 3 ft. female Albino Motley corn snake) to be delivered. I had asked for the delivery date of Friday, May 7, 2004, which was over a week ago. I have stayed home the past two Friday's awaiting the shipment, to no avail. I look forward to resolving this matter and hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Julie K. Coultes
REPTILE RON RIPOFF!
 
Finally the delivery!

YEAY! The day I've long awaited . . . the delivery!!! One slight glitch . . . the she . . . is a he! >:{ Nice colors, sweet as well . . . but a he non-the-less. Last time I checked you cannot breed male corn snakes to one another. Frogs? Sure, after one changes sex, but these aren't frogs. I did not offer to reship him. Shipping is hard enough on animals to go through it once, muchless twice.

Just to let you know . . . he did offer a (what he thought was a nice discount) 10% discount on future orders. No, I'll not be taking him up on that, because I will not be ordering anything from him again.

There's the update. Good tidings to all.
