    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....

Sorry I did not get this down sooner

Anyway I recently completed a transaction with Tom and got my self a sweet little guyana female boa constrictor.

***THIS ANIMAL IS AN IMPORT AND I KNEW THAT WHEN I MADE THIS PURCHASE***

When I got home, I inspected her closely and found she had 2 small bumps on her body, other then that, she is pretty clean. I sent Tom an email letting him know that I got her, alive and well and very alert. I also told him about the bumps I found on her and I also mentioned I did not think they were anything major and would be easy to take care of when I took her to the vet to get her checked out, after all, she was imported.

Tom Wrote me back and said he did not notice the bumps and was now worried and then offered me a 100% refund for the animal.

I declined this refund because she is a very unique animal and besides, I believe when buying an imported animal, I have certian obligations, like taking her to the vet for a check up and that stuff.

I told him I was 90% satisfied and he told me he was sorry that I was 10% unsatisfied. But I must remember, this animal was imported and to be completely honest, I think she is very clean. No mites or ticks and she looks very good and is even pretty friendly.

I am happy with this animal. I do not see any major problems with her. I feel that I DID NOT get burned.

Thanks Tom!
 
Yepp, Toms a straight shooter and can smell out BS from a mile away.  You wont go wrong getting anything from him, IMHO.  

Class Act all the way.

I have not purchased from Tom yet, but he has given me advise on my animals. He is very knowledgable and I would not hesitate to buy from him.
