    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!!! PASS THIS ALONG!!! THIS MAN IS A FRAUD!!! Walter Parham

I sent him snakes as part of a trade back in October of last year and he keeps making excuses as to why he can not ship the one snake to me, and has now resorted to ignoring any means of contact I have to get a hold of him. He has already sold or traded off the 4 snakes that I sent him and I contacted one of the people who ended up with one of them and she says the snake is very ill and was that way when she picked it up from him! It was healthy in my possession. She saw all his snakes and said they look thin, but gave him the benefit of the doubt. Her and her fiance went back the next day and all her fiance's ball pythons he had traded to him the day before were all mislabeled for things they weren't. She also was told the snake I had previously had was an Argentine boa so she traded her hypo hogg for it. It was a pure Central American boa and I made that very clear to him. He is lying and cheating people. I don't even want his snake because it is probably ill if it is even alive. I just want people to be warned that this guy is SCUM!!!!!! Please share this!!!!
 
More info please. Emails, texts, phone number. address tou shipped to.

Where the trade was initiated? What were the details of this old (6 months?) trade? Your what for his what?
 
He only emails me on facebook. He claims his number is: 910-373-9691. He has moved since I shipped my snakes to him. He was in Buffalo, NY and moved to Lumberton, NC. I am not able to get an exact address on him there yet.

He had contacted me on one of my Facebook ads for the snakes I was trying to sell. He contacted me in September asking for 5 of my snakes to give me his female Genetic Stripe Ball Python. My snakes were: 1.1 Pure Central American boas, 1.0 Jaguar Carpet Python, 0.1 Irian Jaya Carpet Python, and I sent a 1.0 Hypo boa that didn't make it through shipping. In all that did make it the value was about $450 and it was $70-80 to ship it to him.

He kept telling me weather was too cold, he had no money, was busy working all the time, had to move, had a baby born, went to the hospital, has no money again... etc.
 
These are half of the latest messages that I have been sending for a few weeks now.

Good info! Thanks. I understand he's since moved from Buffalo to Lumberton, but is there a chance you still have the Buffalo address you shipped to?

And what FB accounts are conversations recorded at?

Don't worry about his old address. I now have it.

Of course he did. The usual yada, yada, yada. Text book.
 
I assume this never got resolved?

I've had my fair share of run-ins with Walter as well, and I can honestly say that I'm not surprised at all that something like this happened...
 
That's unfortunate... Apparently he's still trading/selling/"buying" boas... (and posting RIDICULOUS pictures of himself and his snakes on FB).

I was really hoping that this had resolved itself... It would be terrible if anyone else got screwed by him, but I'm starting to get the impression that it's just what he does now...
