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

ReptiMart 'Mitch Garlaw' - scammer???

Right on Man!!!!!!!!

Mitch, We're all glad to see you did what you said you'd do.
It's always good to see people doing the right thing!
 
you did the right thing

i read this thred the whole time and kept my comments to myself because i know my wife sent an email of the wrong pic and some people went nuts saying all kinds of <font color=red>[**censored**]</font> you had proved yourself to trying to rip her off so you showed everyone <font color=red>[**censored**]</font> does happen sometimes people lie but sometimes its the truth keep ya head up
 
Mitch, it's not so bad to get mad when you think you're being thought poorly of and don't deserve it. I'm sure that YOU thought you did NOT deserve the drubbing you were getting.

Let's just let that go as it is very dependent on one's point of view as to whether or not you deserved it and to debate that, whether or not it was deserved, would take farrrrrrrrrrrr to long.

It is good that you not only paid Marsha back but that you said you would BEFORE you did. It helps to establish that you actually can be trusted.

Everyone who has experiance in this business knows that mistakes are made. That's not so much the measuring rod as is the way those mistakes are handled.

Your first steps in handling this one could use some improvment BUT you did the right thing in the end and THAT is what counts.

Keep it on the up and up from now on and eventually this will be all but forgotten.

Good job Mitch.
 
I am very happy this worked out! Also very glad to know my judgment was wrong. It is nice knowing there is one more truthful herper out there instead of one more scam artist!
This is an example of when saying I was wrong feels good!
Mitch, I should have lots of babies soon if they ever decide to hatch!
Good luck on whatever you decide in the future.
 
Well, Mitch proved absolutely everything I said in my post a few pages back completely false...and I am glad you did...I'll take my crow with a little ketchup if you please and bow out by saying it's nice to see another member of the community stand up for what is right...Glad to see both sides get satisfaction...peace all and Happy Herpin'...
 
Mitch Makes Good On His Word????

I just wanted you guys to know that i came through with my word.I just wanted the people that doubted me to it it in bold letters.Sorry for taking up space but i just wanted this to come out.I am sorry to Marcia for all of this like she said i hit a grandslam when i almost got a strike out.
 
Im glad You did the right thing and for that you sould be applauded .........BUT you should of post this on the original post about you and not stated a new one JMHO

Not just a good opinion, but to not do so is a violation of the rules on the BOI. Additionally, people who read this thread and are not familiar with the other will have virtually no idea what you're talking about.

Moderators, can this be moved into the appropriate thread?
 
In case you didn't notice...

MItch, I already posted that you did the right thing in my original thread on this matter, which is the right way to do it. Posting this separate thread on an already active one is against the rules of this forum, and will most likely be deleted or locked by the Webmaster.
 
WTG MITCH

WTG MITCH ............ I am very happy to see that all is well.

WTG MARCIA ............ I am very happy for you !!!!!!!!!

Peace love and happiness
 
A positive outcome

Marcia,
I'm happy that evrything has worked out, to bad it had to be a refund. As is the case in selling and buying not everything can always be perfect. I've seen sellers collect monies only to offer a refund later due to illness or death of the animal prior to shipping or worse yet death afterwards.

Mitch,
Job well done for your refund to Marcia, and might I add that I do see it as a prompt refund as the whole transaction from selling to completion of refund has taken less then 30 days. Often on other auction sites such as ebay it can take much longer.
I also thank you for your apology, for the words you may have stated in anger and not intending harm.
I regret that the forum delved into your past and exposed some not so happy times.

Might I make a suggestion to you Mitch, that if you want to clean your name and forget your criminal record you may want to change your ID's on the various sites you visit to something not involving drugs. As I am sure the those email and ID names could be seen by your parole as a violation. The names don't do you any justice for future buyers or sellers.

Good luck
Rick Freyser
 
I am going to change my id name as it will give me negitive feedback.I want to change but how do i do that?I want to change it to (aridgeckos)i want the people to know that it is still me but with a differnt name that is if its not taken.I dont want people to think i am trying to change my identity or anything.Can anyone tell me how to change my name and not be banned from the site for using a different name?Thanks
 
I did not know

I didnt know that.How can i change it or delete it.I dont think they will delete it because they havent yet .Should i report this thread to a moderator.And if i want to change my id name do i start a new thread with my new id so people can know that i am the same person.I dont want to trick anyone into thinking i am someone else.Thanks
 
to delete your thread, if you started it, click on EDIT for the original post. When it comes up, you'll see up at the top a checkbox that says delete this message. Check it & save.
 
For whatever its worth, you seem

(based on the information from prior difficulties) a predisposition for doing the wrong thing first, poor judgement in making decisions and knack at your young age of building a house of cards that may haunt you in the future.

I am glad that you returned the money to Marcia. In actuallity you should never have taken it in the first place. Had Marcia not known about the BOI, I am uncertain how much pressure would have been exerted to have you send HER money back to her. Their are TO MANY LOST cases of monies in the herp industry. I am just glad that this has been resolved to everyones satisfaction. I know Marcia will be more careful with her future purchases . I hope you do something more productive with your life that can at least provide some stability in your endeavors.
 
mitch

mitch,

I can't speak for you, but if i had 3 DUIs (and was 18 years
old), I wouldn't be prone to shooting my mouth off.
 
First off i am 21 and i know i messed up by drinking and driving but if someone runs their mouth at me i will either run mine right back or shut theirs.

Mitch--

You started off poorly, redeemed your self, and then make a statment like that? Honesty is great. But if you're going to be honest, you need to respect another's right to be honest back. Making threats like "run mine back or shut theirs" isn't making good business or creating good relations, it's making people afraid. It seems that you are quick to anger (whether due to extenuating circumstances or just the phermones in the air, I don't know).

If you hang your laundry for all to see, you need to expect comments on it. If you don't want to hear comments, then don't air it. Don't keep making the same mistakes and threats.

Julie

Hey--thanks for returning the money. It was good to see that.
