• 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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 think everyone already figured this out to be a scam, but he has the ad up for the female piebald right now. I sent an email just to see what kind of response I would get, and what do you know...

Email I received this morning.

"Hello,
Thanks for the mail and the interest you have on my snake.i am located in west island of Cameroon and the
snake was owned by my late wife and i was sent here in Cameroon for a
research project which is going to last for 6 years.so i came with the
snake here in Cameroon but the bad climatic condition here and also
the nature of my job does not permit me to take good care of her that is
why i want to send her back to her home land USA. to a loving home
where they will be spoiled with all her needs and treated with love .
i will be willing to give her to your family but you will have to
promise to take good care of her and also send her monthly pictures to
me so that i can see how she is doing in her new home ok. she is 9 months 3 weeks
old and will be coming along side with all her transportation
papers, she is also current with all her shot and are well socialized.
below are some few photos her but before we proceed i will need the following information from you,

Are you a breeder?
Do you have kids?
Do you have a vet around your location?.
Don't contact me if you are not located in USA because i want that she
should go back to her home land USA i will be waiting to read back from you
again.

Thanks
Manuel"


Stay away people! I know most of us know better but this is for the others who don't!

Hahah, I guess so! I just know that when I first got into this hobby, I was naive enough to believe that this could be true. The scam must be working if they keep on doing it. I just don't want anyone to send these people their money because they most surely won't receive an animal.

Just wondering, but is there any way to remove a member because we know that they are trying to scam us? I don't think he had his full name posted either.

Nope. There are still several scammers that are active (and inactive) members. :shrug01:
 
Since he entered a false name and location in his registration, with the obvious intent of scamming members, he has been shown the door.
