    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 is really making it look bad is she got online to private message me and demand snakes that are not part of the trade and failed to visit "HER" post about me to defend herself.

she didnt give me a day to ship to know the snakes would be received or nothing. she hasnt even seen the message yet to even know if i agreed to send anything or to see if shes expecting snakes. haha crazy...
 
this is the male she was referring to in the beginning of the conversation and the one she mentioned in the OP.
(not for sale and never was lol)

Well, she's not the first OP to have a "I'm going to post a bad guy thread and (get even/get what I want/get some emotional need met/etc)" moment and have the thread totally and completely backfire when it's obvious to all that the seller did absolutely nothing wrong. Her total lack of response to this thread and the nasty response to you about only wanting blue snakes pretty much nails it. She is one to be avoided.

The garter breeding community can't be THAT big...I think everyone will know to steer clear of this OP.

BTW that is a gorgeous blue snake you've got there!

What's "Not Cool" is the creation of this thread and the OP! I'm sorry you've had to deal with this Tom!

thanks. its not a big deal. although i dont post on here and noone ever leaves feedback on here for me i did her it is where everyone comes to look into a sellers history. the past 3 years ive been on fb only so thats where all my reveiws are atm.
 
If I were you I'd just send her back that sausage fest of males she sent. I don't think she's going to be happy unless she's getting a much better trade offer. Either way good luck trying to work something fair out with her.
 
finally getting somewhere with her lol

What a frustrating situation all around. Definitely a toxic buyer. If I were you, I'd start a BOI thread on her that links this one. She definitely deserves a "seller beware" thread of her own. Good on you for being so patient.
 
i need at least 2 of these males to raise and help my adult male with all my females haha. that's the only reason i even went through with the trade. i have a few juvenile females and adult females but only one male. i didn't expect her to wanna give me 10 of them lol 6 is fine and all males is not optimal but is better than all females so i wasn't mad one bit.

by telling her they were "rare" may have been a stretch and might be the reason i'm in the prediciment i'm in now lol i have a pretty nice group of them and just found out 2 other people have small breeding groups. don belnap has 2 gravid females. so he could end up with 25-50 babies for sale by the end of next month lol looking back at it, i don't know why i would say that and increase her end of the trade when i have so many of them haha

i don't ever post bad reveiws on anyone.although i may have to start lol i got burned last year for a few hundred dollars and just left it alone. ive dealt with a few buyers like this woman but was always able to come to an agreement. one buyer bought a baby 2 years ago and i never mentioned sex in the add and when he got it he claimed it was male and he wanted female. long story short i ended up sending him 2 more so he would stop crying lol

You are a more forgiving person than I am. Not that I would have posted a "Bad Guy" thread, but because you are still trying to make her happy.
Something along the lines of..."You can't make all the people happy, all of the time" seems to be approiate in this situation.
Best Wishes,

i dont mind giving her more than the value of them. i only care about their worth. i even told her in the messages when she asked for a fair trade. i showed her their market price then told her they are "worth" more to me than what they are listed as.
