    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....

I am inquiring if anyone has purchased roaches or other feeders from this person. Even though he seems to be one of very few consistent sources of discoid roaches, there are a few reasons why I'm hesitant to order from him. His ebay page, respetofishing, has less than favorable reviews. His facebook group, Southern Feeder Co., is a closed group and leaves no option for reviews. He is also relatively new to the market with the FB group set late January. Lastly, when he sends invoices via paypal he requests payments by phone. I've honestly never seen that option before so I'm not sure if I can be covered by paypal or cc companies if needed. I know can get discoids from Kyle, but I like to get different strains of roaches from multiple providers. However, I'd like to see if anyone else has experience with this provider before taking a chance.
Thanks :)
 
Google is your friend :)

Not saying it's the same young guy I saw with the FL arrest record and possibly fictitious company names, but I would proceed with extreme caution, especially since his name is not exactly common.

Do you have any other info? Re: FB URL, email, phone, location?

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I saw that. Forget Fakebook/Ebay ... anyone can make up anything/everything and create whoever/whatever they want to be.

The phone number, 772-267-7203/ REH Lawn Services, is also suspect.
 
I just purchased 50 discoids from him, yesterday I received the tracking #, so far legit. Let's see tomorrow if the order looks good to go. I'll chime in then
 
Ok ladies and gents, my shipment arrived via usps earlier today. Everything looked good, he even added a little extra to account for any possible die offs, all the roaches made it alive and as described. Can't speak for anyone else but I have no complaints about his service or products.
 
yes that is all me and the bad ebay reviews were from people purchasing live minnows from me when they had weather below freezing. so i stopped selling them and just bugs and frozen feeders
 
if you join the group you can see meany happy customers and i only send invoice through paypal on my phones mobile app as i dont have a compute to use all the time. if you ave any questions about me you can just ask.
 
Just for your own future reference, PayPal will assist you in recovering funds on bad transactions even if you don't directly use PayPal as payment so long as the card in question was linked to your PayPal account prior to the transaction.
 
Ryan, thank you for registering and replying. It's good to see you strive to provide feeders on this forum and receive good reviews. It really helps buyer's confidence. As the weather warms I'll definitely get some Discoids!
