    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....

Inquiry STEVEN MILLER? JAMES COZZA?

I know Steve...

.....and he just moved here (TALLAHASSEE) from Missouri in mid-December. He got his Piebald from BHB and it weighed just 96 grams when he got here. No way it could be at all close to 300 grams now. Steve is very new to the hobby and this Pied is his FIRST ball python. He just does not know about weights and I think he just copied the other ad along with the Pastel Pied bit to enhance his ad. I think it is all harmless, he meant no harm and I hope he learned something from this experience.

We all need to be fair and honest in our offerings for sale. Please only offer for sale to others what you might consider buying yourself. Describe it honestly, and be proud of your animals!

now where were you while this whole thread was going on you spell your name wrong you get a infraction like I said this is suppose to be fun and I especially love to help people out when they need it but this is getting crazy if this was a simple mistake because you didnt see this thread going on all day thats fine but as the thread goes I was innocent thank you and would like the infraction lifted thank you
 
I would re-read the rules for posting if I were you .. Calling out a mod is probably not a good idea and you will almost always lose that fight. Take your argument to PMs.
 
i just find this bull I did nothing wrong and get a infraction to much time on your hands I guess.I dont care who you are if you didnt do anything wrong you shouldnt be getting infractions I personal dont care for nobody walking all over me like I am a nobody
 
the reason I wrote possible pastel is that it has pastel marking but being that it is a high white pied I cant tell duh I know there is not no het pastel but what do you get when you breed a pied to a pastel het for pied pieds, pastels,pastel pied, and maybe het pieds or pastel het pied well he is the one we could not tell showed him to a couple of top breeders and they said you would have to prove him out he does look like my pastel pied but to cover my ass thats why I said possible
 
James,
The BOI is not the place to gripe about infractions. If you feel that the infraction is not merited, take it up with April (but, if she has addressed this matter with you in the past, don't bother). If you feel the need to take it up publicly, use the Fauna Feedback Forum.
Continue it here, and you'll just end up with another infraction (disruptive off topic posting).
 
Wow!!! I can't believe that I actually found this when I wasn't even looking for it. So apparently Steven has put an ad up for an animal that was suppose to have been sent to me last month.

Steven contacted me in regards to a helix that I had put up for sale on our Facebook page. Despite the low cost of the helix, Steven inquired about additional reptile supplies that I might have had and we worked out a trade for (2) pieds actually for the Helix and other supplies.

He went on in great detail about how he had been done wrong before and was hesitant to ship first. For this reason, he requested that I overnight him the Helix and that he would get the animals out the next day via Ship Your Reptiles/FedEx overnight. Once I received the animals then he requested that I ship the rest of the supplies and the deal would then be complete. Since we are a very reputable business, I wanted to show him that there are good people out there to do business with.

That said, I packaged the Helix and overnighted it to him via UPS as he requested. This was a $43 charge to me.

He received the Helix the next day and sent me several texts messages thanking me and telling me how nice it was. At the same time, he apologized, saying that he was not going to be able to get the animals out that day as he had agreed to because he didn't have heat packs. That was the first red flag. I then inquired that since I ship animals year round (as he knew) why he didn't mention this and I would have thrown the supplies that he needed in the box that I was overnighting him?? He apologized and for my inconvenience, stated that he would throw in a normal male ball. He stated that the heat packets were due to be in first thing in the morning and that he then would drop the package off at FedEx and have me a tracking number by 9:30 am the next morning.

So to sum up the time frame here,

Monday, December 19th Steven contacts me, arranges trade and I overnight Helix to him.

Tuesday, December 20th, Steven receives Helix, however states that he cannot ship the animals as he didn't have the proper supplies to do so.

Wednesday, December 21st, Steven was to have all supplies and shipped them animals, providing me a tracking number by 9:30 am.

So, Wednesday, December 21st, 9:30 am rolls around, nothing. I wait an hour and text him at 10:30 am inquiring about the status. I hear nothing. Up till this point, he was Johnny on the spot with his texts. I wait another hour, text again at 11:30 am. Still nothing.

By 12:30 pm, I am now starting to get concerned and feel like I have been duped. I begin calling him at this point. No answer. I leave several messages on up until about 5:30 PM and still no response. It is at this time that I contact the Tallahassee Sheriffs Dept. whom presides over the community in which Steven lives in. I have the pleasure of speaking with a very helpful desk Sergeant whom sends an officer out to Stevens home to see about making contact with them.

At 7:32 PM, after the police came knocking on his door, I get a text from Steven.

"Can we talk?"

I immediately call him however he refuses to answer the phone. He sends me another text.

"Text me. I'm doing some dishes and then running some errands."

I then reply to him that he needs to make this a priority and answer his phone. I then call a few more times and he won't answer. I then get hit with this.

"Take me to court or leave me alone." That pretty much sums the rest of it up. I basically told him that I was in touch with his local authorities and would see this blatant act of his through.

That was met with the same couple of texts telling me to leave him alone and take him to court at which time I quit responding to his childish nonsense.

At this point I guess he grows concerned and then starts sending me texts wanting to work it out and promising that he would be re-mitting payment for the Helix very soon as soon as he got his check.

I gave him about a week before following back up with Tallahassee Sheriffs Dept and before doing so, I texted him again after Christmas. He then gives me a line about his mother dying on Christmas day. Believable stuff right???

This is the point where I left it alone. The little piece of slime isn't worth my time. I will leave it up to his local authorities. I had pretty much washed my hands of it and chalked it up as a loss until I saw this thread.

For anyone that is reading this or is considering any possible deals with this guy, STAY AWAY!!! He is a total fraud and I doubt that he even owns the snake in this ad. If he does, it is the one that was suppose to be sent to me last month however after receiving my product, he refused to do so!!!

Hopefully my loss will benefit someone else that might have been actually trying to work a deal with this criminal.
 
sorry u get your money and we the police have delt with this and they told u to leave me alone over and over if u dont leave me alone i will call the cops
