    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....

Anyone heard of them? There isn't a name anywhere on the site, and it is a private domain registration. I'm asking because one of their ads features a pic from another website.
 
They have no contact info whatsoever.
Thier contact page says to contact them through email and if you dont get a response with in 24 hrs email again. No phone?
They have no business address listed anywhere on thier Web page or thier auctions ,or thier for sale ads.
They have no names (Owner, Partner) on thier site to show who owns it, runs it anything.
I could not find any "sunshine state reptile" through division of taxation, or any public records.
Thier page says they have been in business for 15 years why did they just open thier paypay accoout last week and not have one verified transaction.

The above doesnt prove one way or another whether they are good or bad. just info on them.

So maybe he is ok and doesnt put info on his site for a reason, but since he is a member here i guess he will reply sooner or later to let us know.
 
on "this" Sunshine State Reptiles, some of the ads list the name Bobby Harrelson.
 
All i can say is that either there are TWO "SUNSHINE STATE REPTILES" or he has a partner or something of that nature.
I am having a hard time digging up anything good or bad.theres just not a lot of info on them anywhere.

Here is a "blood python " he has listed on a auction which by the way isnt a blood python its an anaconda.(first pic)When you click "details" on the auction it shows pics of the anaconda and some red bloods, but the auction is only for a blood python???
the second pic is taken from rays reptila.com. So maybe they are working together?? They definetely are using the wrong pic to advertise for a blood python for the auction and should change it.
If they arent working together I would hope sunshine state reptiles had permision from rays reptilia to use that picture or visa versa.

I hope this isn't another one of Ray's tricks...... He seems to like aliases lately....
 
Wll Mr walsch has benn a member here since 2002 and has had nothing but good things said about him, ray has been here a lon time an has has ( well you kknow his history), I would hate to think a good guy would get into a business relationship with ray and jeapordize his name and future. I am sending emails to both to see if they will comment on th thred. Also email to the bobby guy who listed the auction. i am sure one of them will reply to this thread.

Well if its Ray, I wouldn't count on a reply to the allegations. He might come here and tell all of us what an outstanding business man he is and that we are all out to get him. :bawling:
 
PS. i must give credit where credit is due. HH was the one that let me know about the auction of sunshine on repti auction and the matching pictre at rays reptilia. It was his find, i only ran with it with the info he started me off with and dig some digging from there on.
As long as we have people like Harold and others watching out for the rest of us it will be much harder for the "BAD GUYS" to get the best of us!!!!!!!!!!!
 
As noted on another thread, it really isn't my find...it was handed to me by an another member. Nor do I feel that the evidence is conclusive at this point. (I took it as far as my lack of computer savvy, and time, allowed). I'm sure that the real detectives will figure things out, one way or the other.
But if there IS no relationship between the two, using pics from Ray's website was a big mistake
 
If thats true then now the question is, "who is running it now?" Did ray take advantage of the fact that no one is using that name and started using it. Is that BOB that HH referred to in cahoots with Ray?
 
nicolai

cant answer those questions,just remember someone telling me about gary.makes sense that someone dishonest would jump on a business name that is no longer being used.
 
sunshine reptiles (bobby harrelson), is a member here - username: sn8kbreeder
 
You're right, Ed. My apologies, my mistake.
Sunshine State Reptiles (the topic of this thread) = sn8kbreeder.
It is my understanding that he was made aware of the threads and the concerns, but I will be emailing him personally to be sure. Hopefully, he will stop in and shed some light on things for us.
