• 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....

Today a member contacted me stating i sent them a email about wanting to do a trade. I never sent the email and the member got confused as the email had my First and Last name attached to it along with Stolen Pictures.

here is the original Email forwarded from the Member. This could of turned VERY VERY Ugly against me if this guy sent snakes first thinking it was me.

If anyone got an email from this email Please post about this so it can be traced. I have my suspicions of who it is but wont name anything without proof.

Pictures that were attached to the email are below. I dont own these snakes so if anyone knows where they came from it would be nice to let them know.

I traced the email and it bounces to China, so who ever it is in using a Proxy.

I already contacted Microsoft and they are investigating the Email account and ISP it came from.

Please if an email from me is not [email protected] then its NOT ME!!!!

Rich,

I didn't change title or anything. [email protected] is my wife's
E-mail. We will try to get his address pretending to want to make a trade
and see where it gets us.

Hi, I saw your ad on Fauna and I was wondering if you might still be
interested in a trade. I would love to get my hands on a Super Cinny and
the bumblebee. I have a few higher end morphs for trade. I will attach a
few pictures I have and you can see if anything catches your eye.

If you do see something you would like, please email me back asap.
I have a great reputation on Fauna with many references. I would prefer
not to ship first if we did trade. I will gladly send you my references
and all that if needed. I also have many good guy BOI's.

Thank you.
-Rich

Second picture: Clown female. She is also just over 100g.
Last picture: SuperStripe. Picture speaks for itself. This guy is a
stunner. Right now he is about 160g.

My wife was the one origionally E-mailed by this guy and she forwarded it to me. For some reason, I felt the need to check him out a little bit more. Thankfully my wife and I were at work without access to our private E-mails when I decided to discuss things more with him, as that resulted in me contacting him through Fauna. It puzzled me for a minute when his first responce was that wasn't him, but it only took a minute to put two and two together to figure out I was being scammed.

All I can say is double check everyone you are dealing with in some way shape or form.

This has definately shaken my faith in accepting a name at face value. I encourage all to double check the people they are dealing with are who they are, if they get anoid by it then you may want to take your business elsewhere.

Thank you Rich for taking your time to verify this was a scam.

David,

Thanks for coming forward and posting, this sucks they as i know more than one is involved would do this. But in the end they just killed their reputation once exposed
 
Who is it? Can you say?

It definitely is wrong of them to do this...and I am so glad you posted here!
 
Cant say anything or point fingers at anyone publicly without proof. As doing so can hurt their rep very very bad and mine if it is false. Thus turning into a slander case against me. So no parties i think it is will be named
 
I understand that. :) I just hope that the person gets caught red handed. I'm glad that you at least think you know who it is!

Looking into that IP its coming up as Microsoft registered IP.
 
Sorry, I threw a couple fake hotmail email addresses into that same search engine and it came up with the same IP. I think it's like a generic hotmail IP, but I may be wrong.
