Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
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.....

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....

Just a weird observation...
....but on the thread listings, this thread is started by Exclusively Exotics. However, when you look at the individual posts, it was started by Adam Cooperman (enforcer3) and the next post was by Exclusively Exotics.
Anyone know how that would happen?

Now Scott, you KNOW that would NEVER happen here on the BOI!! Inconcievable. Unfathomable. Simply Impossible.

I just found it odd that the thread starter was listed as Exclusively Exotics, but in reality the logon name for the thread starter was enforcer3, who posted the inquiry on Jason. Exclusively Exotics is the logon of the 2nd post.
So how can enforcer3 (Adam Cooperman) start a thread and have his logon show up as Exclusively Exotics?
I'm not in any way saying that anyone did anything underhanded at all. I just found it weird, since posts on the BOI can't be edited or deleted.

It probably has something to do with the age of this topic and the relocation of the forum from one server to another awhile back.

That may well explain it, Ken. Course that doesn't explain how Exclusively Exotics, Jason Stone, and Upstate Exotics have all seem to come out of the woodwork the last couple of days, patting each other on the back as often as possible in as many threads as possible. But I'm sure that it is just a coincidence of timing, and no one is calling their friends to come bail them out or anything!

I thought these BOI's were to find out about good or bad deals and to talk herp??
I did not come out of any wood work ive been posting on fauna for sometime now, reguardless of what kind of deal you may have had with the person/persons that does not mean im not able to post something good about someone. Personaly i believe it is a good idea to let other people know who the bad guys are out there.
That is the whole reason im even posting on these boards to try to help some of you people out there know that i have had good deals with these people and how they are doing things.
If i am wrong in trying to help please let me know..lol..ive have made it with out the BOI this far i really dont need it now.
The people i deal with know how i work and the quality of my herps, thats all that matters to me.
I would hope anyone wanting to deal with me would take the time to find out the facts before hand. I have NOTHING to hide people!
Just my own thoughts.
Thanks! Jason Stone

Jason,
I certainly didn't mean to stir up a hornet's nest, I simply saw what appeared to be a malfunction in the system on this thread and pointed it out. Ken's explanation cleared the whole thing up (for me, anyway).
I've never heard anything negative about you or your animals, and think your input on Fauna is valuable and welcome.

Terese ,
Hey sorry i didnt mean for it to sound that way either and i was not trying to pick on you or anyone else..lol
I was just trying to find out for sure if i was posting the good deals in the right fourm or not...to me it seems there is alot of BS that goes on in these things, i thought i was helping to let others know id had a good deals with upstate.
Like anyone else i try to keep everyone happy as much as i can and help as much as i can.Anyone that has been around herps very long knows not every bisness is perfect and YES, when you deal with alot of people you are going to have a few bad deals its expected though.
Anyway, i hope this makes sense im a little brain dead right now..coffee has not kicked in yet...LOL

Were you the one who sold or bought a fake axanthic for like $1500. I seem to remember your name attached to the axanthic fake somehow, but cannot remember if you bought or sold it? What ever happened with that situation?

Fake axthinic ball
Yeah i had a deal maybe 2yrs ago now....
I had a ball i got shafted with and i posted it up..kinda like the wannbe i have now..same kind of ad anyway, So i told the guy what i went through i done everything i could to verify it was what it was suposed to be with no luck and of course it did not have papers (my own fault there). I told the guy all the facts he knew what he was getting long before we ever made the deal.
A month after he got it he decided he did not like the fact he couldnt find out anything about if it was or was not an axthinic he decided to come back with very rude emails and all that good stuff then it went public.
I publicly told him id do everything i could..trade him back what ever he came off with no youd probably send me something other then what we traded for...the fourm got pretty heated and finely i told the guy to stick it!.
Whats the point in trying to fix a problem if he is not willing to except what your (I) was trying to do? i did everything i could to try to make him happy or fix the problem then had enough guts to applogise to the public for the unprofesional way i spoke in the fourm and again to him.
As i said mybe he took it wrong that it could have been or could have not been an axthinic ball. I was in no way trying to pass it off as a full blown axthinic he knew all the facts and basicly got pissed when he found out that it actualy was not an axthinic ball (which i would too) but as i said..if he was not willing to let me fix the problem what was i to do?I offred to give him the origanl trade back...or to find something else he wanted and trade back or what ever.
Everyone has bad deals at some point that was mine.
Im not playing inocent here thats the way i remember it like i said its been 2 years ago. Maybe i was wrong for giveing up on the guy ,May he was wrong in complaining after knowing what he was getting....but i can tell you i did not tell him at any point it was for sure a axthinic ball.
Ive been on fauna for quite a while now and for some of the others thats been here as well ...i think they can say you dont see my name in the bad deals sections....except for 2 years ago i had one bad deal..SO WHAT..it happens people.
Anyone i deal with i try to make 100% happy.
Now im sure most peole that have any long term experience with herps has at some point had a bad deal or a complaint.
Hope that answered your question(s)

now I can see why a hornets nest would be stirred
I just found this post and I was actually quite surprised when I saw it for I did not remember posting an inquiry on him. Must be just a clitche but when someone automatically makes a statement as if someone is "calling on friends to bail someone out" is quite rediculous. I personnally do not know either of them. I did however I did do deals with them. As far as upstate exotics is concerned I sold them an animal they paid they recieved thier animal and they were happy. I did a trade with I believe Jeremey and he and I were quite happy, even though for the life of me I cannot remember what the trade even was. But I think an apology is needed! I have not come out of the wood work and if you look I have not posted for quite som time. I have actually been sitting back laughing at all that is going on here. I have been following the bobby prueitt vs the world and have been keeping myself ammused with that until I saw that. I am not mad or anything just upset that someone would just say things without thinking etc. Just like bobby posting several minutes after he contacted ken. I am sure it was not intentional and someone was trying to be the detective or something but you are wrong and I feel an "I'm sorry for any hard feelings" is in order. Hope all goes well with all and babies are bouncing everywhere. Don't forget why we are all here, o help not make problems
Thanks
