    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....

What are your experiences?
Good?
Bad?
So so?
Let me know all. Tell me all.

Also anyone know if they are still going ahead with their cages?
What about there animals? Are they good?
How is shipping? Profesional and prompt? or the opposite?

Thanks
 
Ritchie.... If I'm not mistaken, SqueezeMe is owned by Ethan Fredericks.... I've done business with him in the past and everything went very smoothly! I wouldn't worry about a thing!

Neil,
can you do me a favor and check on them?
If you have a phone number can you call them to make sure everything is okay and they are still alive etc etc

Anyone else have any contact with them within the past 2-3 weeks?
 
I emailed them 3 weeks ago 3 times; I never received a response.
I was responding to an ad they placed on kingsnake for a lg retic.
I was surprized they didnt respond. Mark Childers
 
Anyone here know if they are okay...
because my e-mail has not been answered.
I also have someone I know e-mailing them and no answer..
And he is also calling them and the phone is disconected.

On the same token....I know someone who sent a money order and no response...

Anyone know what is going on? Are they okay?
 
Ritchie,

I also placed an order with them and did not receive the snake. Ethan did email me about 5 times in one day, then when I sent my money I never heard from him again. I had ordered a Male Tiger Retic, but the snake didn't arrive in ten days after payment was sent and no responses to multiple emails. I did receive my money back by using fruad protection from Visa. I hope this help.

I have been contacted by them several times in the past. They would respond to classifieds on animals I had for sell. Always the same thing. "I want the animal if you still have it" "I will paypal immediately" "I have cash now".

It was always something telling me how definate they were about buying and then they would never respond to me again. If I were emailed by them now I wouldn't even consider it a legitimate email.

It is my personal opinion but I wouldn't ever consider doing any business with them. They just aren't serious about the business.
 
Ripped Off by Squeeze ME

THEY ARE RIP OFF ARTISTS IMHO. I am still trying to get my $$ back from them or the snake. No response to my emails. The phone is no longer working. He was quick to accept my PayPal and then nothing!!!!! BEWARE OF ETHAN!!! I have contacted fraud at Paypal and Kingsnake. Ethan if you read this you better come clean!!!!

Ritchie,
Unfortunately I haven't had a good experience with him recently.
We had an agreement where I traded him about $250.00 worth of rabbits for a young tiger retic I paid shipping my way he would pay shipping his way, I had dealt with him a few times before in this manner and it all went well so I had no problem just sending him the rabbits. Well here we are 2 months later with no money and no snake, I am very fustrated with him at this point!
However i do know he recently moved and has been posting on kinsnake since that move, I just dont know why he isnt trying to make this right. he refuses to answer my e-mails and he has never answered his phone or returned messages as far as I can tell in dealing with him.
He is a 17 y/o kid who is trying to make a name for himself, he has some really great snakes when he actually has them. I have received 1 of his retics and it was really everything he said it was I was very pleased, but this whole incident has left a sour taste in my mouth about dealing with him, if i were you i would make sure you are very careful about any dealings with him.

Charles,

Are you sure he is only 17? I contacted them some time ago about their light phase burmese pythons, but never would have dreamed he was a teenager. If that's the case he shouldn't be doing "business" without parental consent.

Best regards.
 
With all due respect Charles, I think you may be mistaken about his age. The business has been around for a while and I believe it's owned by him and his wife. The website says they've been working with pythons and boas since 1990. That would make him 5 years old:)
It's a shame to hear some of you have had negative dealings with them recently. They have some nice snakes on their site that I may be interested in. I think I'll wait to see how this plays out before I send them any of my cash. It would be nice to see them resolve some of this unfinished business since they seem to have had a good reputation in the past.

Chris,
You may be right i only am only basing that off what he told me back in may, he told me he was celebrating his 17th birthday then.
 
Charles
Maybe he meant he was celebrating his aniversary and not his birthday. He told me he was 35 and had been in the business for about 15 years or so.

Ritchie i have done business with Ethan and his wife here in Houston, Tx. i emailed him but it took him forever but we got to talking and we agreed to meet at a club that my friends band plays at that was supposed about 3 minutes away from his house and i ended up waiting for 15-20 minutes sweating like heck under the Texas sun. he said that he had car trouble which was understandable. anyway i got i gorgeous tiger retic from him at a nice price but i was interested in some cb amazons and emeralds from him but he never returned my email. the 1st deal went good but im not trying to be a palm reader but some people just give weird vibes. and as for the post made my charlie, the guy is not 17, unless you think a 17 year old has greying hairs, tattoos, and a wife???!!! but you never know these days right!!lol!! take all info and do what you think is best Ritchie.-best regards.......-Darren Leavitt
 
squeeze me constrictors

if I remember right awhile back there were two
squeeze me constrictors on here posting.you mite check into that. loren winters
 
Perfect for the first day of emailing to work out the deal to buy two tiger retics. After express mailing the money order, never heard from them again. I gave it plenty of time. The money order got cashed and still no response. Phone is disconnected. What to do.
I contacted the FBI fraud dept. One phone call to Squeeze Me and my money has two weeks to get returned to me. If not, they will be in jail.
In short, I would NEVER attempt to do business with them again. I would NEVER advise anyone to do business with them. Consiider this a warning.
And thanks again to Ritchie for trying to help out with this. NEVER, NEVER, EVER use Squeez ZMe Constrictors. They should be taken off the web, and shutdown! Just my opinion. I hope to spread this opinion all over the place.
 
Robert you gotta post with your whole name...
but just to make sure you come back in time before your story gets deleted...I will e-mail ya too
 
I received an email from Ethan this morning. Apperantly he has been very sick and is just now getting back on his feet. He apoligized for any inconvience. I sent him an email and told him that the only way I would purchase from now was COD. I will keep everyone posted as to what happens.
