• 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.....

    =====================


    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....

The user "ThomasHensley" is using other people's photos in what are clearly fake ads. Buyers beware! Here is MY picture of my pewter bee at ~200g - note that it is being listed at 800g and she is still in my posession:

There is another string of ads being placed with a photo of a Mojave female. I cannot speculate about that ad but the Pewter Bee being posted is FAKE.

Time to create a watermark for my photos, I guess...
 
That photo is my photo, but here are a few more:

Here's her now (250 grams and a few sheds heavier)

At hatch - there is an extensive thread from 8/25/13 (her hatch date) to 9/10/13 I posted trying to determine if her brother was a pewter or sterling bee

This photo of her is actually on my business card:

I put in a PM as a knee jerk reaction demanding he remove it and letting him know I am starting this thread. I also notified a mod here, who linked this thread in one of the posts.
 
Not saying its impossible but that Mojave has some good growth to her. lol
Was supposedly proven in June of '13 was only 1100 grams in October of '13 and then jumped up to 2200 grams in February of '14.
 
He got me

Well looks like i fell victim to Thomas Hensley. I paid 450 for the female Mojave he had for sale via PayPal and that was last I heard from him. Numerous phone calls and texts left unanswered after payment. PayPal dispute started wish me luck.
 
No problem - I started watermarking my pictures now so I guess this is a lesson learned for me. So sorry that there was a victim involved.

On a brighter note, I'll take it as a compliment that my snake and pictures are quality.

Any personal information different in the paypal transaction? Same name, email, etc..?
 
Contact info on one of the deleted posts was the same email at ymail vs. yahoo - when I emailed that I got an undeliverable return.

Account says SC but the PayPal says Non-US.
