    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....

WARNING: Matt Edmonds from Richardson TX-BAD GUY!

We live and learn, and just reading these threads here I have learned all sorts of things to watch for during a sale if it's a scam or not. A breeder took a chance on me and shipped on a payment plan and I made good on my payments. I hope this guy gets made whole. And if it TRULY IS Matt that's fighting for us I hope he man's up and says hey I was young the money got lost (or whatever happened) and pays this guy for the animals.

All I was saying is it is possible. I also said I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty. People give different perspectives all the time. That's all I did. And I couldn't help but wonder myself why it took 13 years. I know I would have been all over that the entire time. Blasting jt everywhere to get my animals back or my money. Although I'm a stay at home mom who's trying to get into breeding and breeding feeders to sell locally to help support my family while doing what I love, working with animals. So $600 of my hard earned money would not have been let go until I got some sort of resolution. Someone somewhere knew who this person was and all it would have taken was persistence, a call to the local authorities and given the address and proof the animals were sent and proof no money was received.

I think the reason it went "quiet" was because Mr. Edmonds was 'nonexistent' in the reptile hobby up until recently. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep bringing up an instance of being scammed, unprovoked, when there's no where the guilty party might see it or be able to address the issue, and when they're not involved in the reptile community to warn people away from them. From what I'm seeing, Ben brought it up as soon as he realized Edmonds could be a danger to someone else again - ie, as soon as he came back into the hobby. That's all.
