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

PLAIN AND SIMPLE! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! IVE CALLED TRYING TO ORDER A GREEN TREE PYTHON FROM THEM AND I GUESS THEY ONLY HAVE A 1 QUESTION RULE BECAUSE AFTER THE 3RD QUESTION THE LADY JUST BECAME VERY RUDE AND WHEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER SHE HUNG UP ON ME! IVE HEARD MANY HORRIBLE STORIES BUT THOUGHT HEY ILL GIVE EM A SHOT. NOPE! NEVER AGAIN!
 
The person you were speaking with was more than likely the owner.

I have never had a bad expierence at S&S. They have been helpful anytime I have went into the store and ask a bunch of questions.

I just checked out Bishop's other posts, I'd never believe anything he has to say.
 
I have been buying reptiles and other animals from them for over 10 years. A lot of people treat S&S like a petting zoo.

Did a BOI search of the word 'Exotics', scrolled results for about 20 seconds until I saw S&S.
 
FYI, it appears that the originator of this thread is a false identity perpetrated by another member here. I found at least 3 posts made by the apparent perpetrator (some more were soft deleted so not viewable to the general membership) that are using the same IP address used by "BishopThaGreat6699":

IMHO, that is NOT a simple innocent coincidence.

I sent a PM to Rene Moreno, apparent owner of Texoticas Reptiles, requesting an explanation, but after reading that PM, he or she apparently decided to not respond. Very well, I have to presume there is no GOOD answer for my query. Perhaps he or she would rather respond here instead. :shrug01:

Never mind. Rene Moreno isn't welcome to address anything on this site now or in the future.

I didn't realize this guy had the history that he does here.

I followed his history back through "Texoticas Reptiles", then "Mr.Monitor", and before that "reneboy6". For a guy who seems to hate this site and us that run it, he sure does want to hang around here a lot. And from the caustic and profane messages sent to my moderators, he can just go somewhere else and stay there as far as I am concerned.

It appears to me that the "BishopThaGreat6699" he created was for nothing more than to just be a troublemaker here.

So I made the ban on all of his accounts he has created here are permanent. He is NOT welcome back to this site, ever.
 
Nothing like the "common sense" approach!:thumbsup:
So sorry I missed that when I clicked on the name, I then tried to search it which usually bring up any thread that person has even replied on but for some reason it just kept loading this thread over and over and over as I scrolled down. But thanks for the sparky remark
 
Absolutely riveting argument, I am totally convinced :rolleyes:

I'll never understand the people who say they hate the site, and yet avail themselves of its services. I can honestly say that I have learned so much from reading the BoI that I never even have to post here to have gained something from it.
 
He appears to be a flipper as well. The 3rd link webslave posted is for this ad for a monitor. In that ad is a link to his YouTube channel, where an unboxing video is posted for that monitor. He received the monitor on October 23rd and posted the ad on November 2nd. That's 10 days between when he received the monitor and when he advertised it.

This sort of activity is not new. There seems to be a small group of people who, over the years, have chosen to attempt to tear down this site.
The statistics speak for themselves, huge numbers of people come here to read the BOI in order to lessen their chances of being scammed and make rational, studied choices about who they will send their hard earned cash to.

It is difficult to fathom why a few people perennially try to destroy something this useful. I can only surmise that their lives must be devoid of any kind of reward or adventure, and that their little attempts at destructive forays give them the illusion that their lives are meaningful.
At least a tick or mosquito derives sustenance from taking from others. These people destroy, but in reality they come away empty from their meaningless destruction.
