    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....

On July 16 I was to send a 2012 Champagne male and Victor was to send an Adult female Mojave 1600 grams. Victor stated that he was at the hospital but would be able to ship that day still. So i packed and shipped a 2012 male Champagne. On Tuesday Fed Ex had a delay and the snake didnt arrive until 3:30 to Victor ,which his girlfriend Shay Iseman signed for. I spoke to Victor about 2:00 pm and told him the snake was on his way but where is my mojave he said he didnt leave the hospital until it was to late to ship, but would send her on Tuesday, Now Sunday 7/222012 still no communication at all from Victor wont return calls, text, private messages or Emails. The police have been notified and i urge Victor to do the right thing and send me my Champagne back. So if anyone is thinking of buying from Victor or Shay Id really rethink your decission.
Id love to hear Victors side of this story.

I just don't know how people think they can get away with trying to rip someone off like this. I hope you get things worked out Kevin and get your snake back. I hope this guy and his woman get into some trouble with the police for this.
 
Hoping the profile is his for sure, Not many People with last name Rios on this site,

The location for that one is PA. So if thats where the Champ was shipped then im sure its the right one. If not then my bad
 
Not sure if anyone else picked up on on this, but "Victor Rios" - "Victorious". Sounds like a fake name if I've ever heard one. I have been SEVERELY low-balled by him several times, but have never had a transaction. Good luck, and I hope he makes this right.
 
Hey Kevin, I responded to your post on the FBI group on Facebook. That Shay girl is a member of the PA Reptile Enthusiast group on FB and has recently posted an ad trying to sell a lesser male. I responded to her ad questioning this shady dealing, but I'm not sure she will respond.

I will be at the Reading show, and maybe the Hamburg show in August, so I will be keeping an eye out for these two. I hope this guy isn't that much of an idiot to show up with your champ male or the mojo female.
