    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.

    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....

Inquiry Ryan Corless AKA novelty1

Yo, Terrance .. more info please. I'm not inferring Ryan Corless/novelty1 is not a liar or scammer, but more info on your dealings with the guy would be good. Emails, texts, phone number, his address, etc.

If he's a thief, the more info the better, in order to alert the community.
 
I met him down the street from his house back in October of last year to buy a subadult female Vanilla Spider. He seemed pretty decent, although I'm actually still not 100% positive my Vanilla Spider is actually Vanilla. She's a sketchy one, lightly colored Spider but not a screamer by any means. I've had a few text conversations with him since then about other animals and I've gotten some odd vibes but nothing too out of the ordinary - a lot of people are shady, especially in the Ball World of Amateurs.

The most recent interaction, he tried to convince me that he's an expert in Het Red Axanthics and that a female Fire Het Red I have is only a Fire. I proved him wrong and he just stopped responding. I don't know, I'd say if you're meeting face to face and you're positive what you're getting is legit, it might be ok. But now with the testimony of him outright scamming (really doesn't surprise me) definitely be careful. Which really equals = probably not a good idea.
 
Ive done some trades with Ryan and have gotten great animals each time. Trades have always been pretty equal and Ive always gotten what was promised. I have seen his setups and racks and have had no reason to doubt his husbandry skills. Just my experience with the person in question.
 
when i met Ryan he seemed to be an ok guy! We met in the AP parking lot in Midland pk New Jersey.Ryan gave me his word that the snakes were H clown.But when i got back upstate my Partner looked at snakes once i got back home! He said that the 2 females Ryan had given up were definitely not what Ryan promised. So on that note i called Ryan several times and spoken to him about the situation. One female was 1400 grams the other female is 1800 grams. In light of the situation Ryan and I had spoke on the phone and Ryan agreed to give my partner and i a visual clown male and take back one of the females back us to show us that he is not a scammer! and a legit breeder. I told Ryan that would be fine and it would make my partner and I are ok with that. also this time we are gonna meet at his house that way my partner and I can see his setups and racks..
 
He offered me some Het Clown females too. I think they were a Pastel and a YB. I'm not saying he is a bad guy, just some weird inconsistencies that don't make you feel 100% comfortable.
