    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.

    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 recently purchased an adult female ball python from Ryan. Communication was fantastic, shipping was prompt and the animal is exactly as described. Thanks Ryan!
 
I am glad to hear your deal went well with him.

My experience with him is we made a deal a few weeks back that I was going to purchase an adult female Ball from him. He said he was holding her for me and I was waiting for him to give me the e-mail address to send paypal payment. Well after he stated that he was holding her for me he e-mails me and tells me that he sold her to someone local to him. His e-mail stating he was holding her for me was on Thursday July 29 and the e-mail telling me he sold her locally was Friday July 30.

I thought the animal you had inquired about was a 900 gram female, not an adult female? Hmm maybe I am mistaken. Anyway, the snake I purchased from Ryan IS an adult female, she weighs 1800 grams.

I don't think Ryan not selling you a snakemerits a negative post for him here.

Anyway, like I said, our transaction was smooth as silk and I would buy from him again with confidence.
 
Kelli,

The snake that he committed to selling to me was an 852 grams female. Whether or not him making a commitment and then selling out from underneath me should be a bad post that is up to each individual to decide. As I said I am glad that your deal went well with him and I posted exactly how my situation with him went for everyone to see. That is what this site is for, to tell everyone about deals whether they are good, bad, or indifferent.
 
I can understand being dissapointed that you didn't get the snake. It's happened to me before too, and it sucks.

You are right about what the site is for, I agree.
 
Good Experience.

I just received an animal from Ryan. He had good communcation and the animal was shipped on time and was honestly represented. I would certainly purchase from him again.
