Rich - feel free to try that again without the advertising line...I'm sure you know that isn't allowed on the BOI.

=====================
I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?
So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.
But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.
Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.
I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.
=====================
Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.
And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

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.

Bad Guy Use caution with Texasrattleandboas (David Sackary)

- Start date
As there is NO record of you ever having contributed to this site, that "refund" will be difficult to process.
And yes, quoted profanity is STILL profanity being posted on this site. Otherwise anyone could post whatever profanity they wanted to and simply claim it was a quote from someone else.
That probably earned you more infraction points.....

Mike did you talk to this guy on the phone number he posted in his ads?I am posting this so you can use caution when dealing. I will not post the 370 text messages and 80+ e-mails from him unless this reall gets out of control by him. I am telling to use caition do to the fact that he has ripped me off by not completing our trade. He never sent my three animals that he owes me for my animals sent in trade. He after all our comunication states that the anmals I sent with breeder signed photo id are not what I said they are and or they did not come from specific breeders even though I have the reciepts and contact information from the breeders.
The main reason I am saying to use caution is because after I told him I was calling the Michagan police on him He sent me a nice text reminding me that he has family here that are part of MS-13. He said they are his wifes family and they begged for my info but they refused for know. He also has his info listed to live in tesas but shipping is to Michagan. I have another fauna member that is also or was trying to business with him until he found the guy lived in michagan when after several hundred emails of living in Texas.
We even have him in 2 seperate emails sytating to me that he was arrest by the Michagan DNR for snake shipping and the same weekend the other member has emails saying that he was arrested by the Texas DNR. Several months ago there was nother issue with another member here is the link

WE do not know if this the same guy for surebut the other member said he got scammed by this one before and he is fonfident it is the same guy.
I emailed one of the moderators of this sight to take action but I got no response. Please use caution I would not want any one in the same situation I am in. I only hope this guy is blowing smoke or I just made it worse.
I have sent several members this guys address and numbe due to the threats and the severity of them. I know also the other member has had many also. They may be empty threats ut I am not tking a risk with the fact of my wife and 2 children.

Also, what was the address you sent to?

Actually, I didn't bother - probably should have...but that thought entered my mind as I clicked the Save button with the deletion notice. Once the post was removed, there wasn't much point in hitting him for inappropriate advertising.That probably earned you more infraction points.....
As far as the other - despite all his fuss and bluster, Rich is well aware of the site's stance regarding the posting of profanity. In previous (private) communication, he came right out and asked So you're saying that I could get an infraction for every time I say **** on this site?. My answer, obviously, was yes; Guess the idea of being responsible for the content of his posts was lost on him

The address he shipped from? So did he ship SOME animals to you?
The deal changed several times due to him being arrested and him saying his mother passed.
The first deal was his stowell hypo cherry aby jungles for my 2011 anery het snow, 1.1 ghost the female poss het anery, and a coral lipstick jungle albino.
It then changed to his stowell hypo cherry aby jungles for my 2011 anery het snow, 1.0Motley poss het anery and a coral lipstick jungle albino
Then to his stowell hypo cherry aby jungles for my 2011 anery het snow, 0.1 hypo Motley poss het anery and a coral lipstick jungle albino with him adding his sunglow lipstick jungle. I told him this was not required he seemed genuin so Due to what he said he had and the fact he said he was very new I thought I would throw him a bone due to him showing so much interest in the boas. He also had som many question I really thought he waw a good guy and need a foot in with something not seen for sale yet. He said he still wanted the female and male ghost so I told him 140.00 for the fmale and 100.00 for the male.
So I shipped to him. And the rest of mine to me after he got his.
After shipping he claims his mom passed and he was hard up for money. Durint this time it was hard to get ahold of him other then the occasional phone call or text. He finally agreed to ship on 08/25/2011 for 08/26/2011 but my animals never came. After calling and texting he claimed his fried was to take them for him and I would have the info. on tracking once again the never came. That friday is when he and his wife claim he was arrested buy the DNR out of michagan for Shipping issues. After seeing his seaarching the fauna I texted him that I coulsd see him and he needed to contact me or I was calling the athorities. They promised to ship theat monday after he got out on bail. When he got out it was he was made i Threatened the athorrities and it was like calling his wife a liar. I told him to put his self in my shoes. finally I gave him several options to choose from. I will post that email.
The final deal was 1.1 pr hypo motleys het albino 66 het anery (poss het snow) and a 2011 coral lipstick albino jungle. The jungle was produced by Boa master and bought from NJserpants and the mots were produced by Boidea Enterprise out of Virginia. In trade he gave me 2-2010 Super hypo stowell Cherry aby jungles, 2-2011 DH liptick hypos and a what was to be a jungle lipstick sunglow 2011. I got the jungles from him as the first part of the trade but was never sent the second half.
Because I he had all the original animals he had to ship me bac the ghosts the anery and the three he owed me and I would ship another hypo mot poss het snow. He told me that he had nop money just like our first trans so I paid for shipping and made it happen so it could not be drug out any more. Isent and he sent august 30 for the 31st. Only I got the ghost and anery and nothing else. He confirmed that his friend got the mot.
When I texted him he said until I can prove the genetics of the jungle coral lipstick mine would no be sent. And the hypo mots are only worth maybe 400 each so I got what mine were worth and i got the better part of the deal.
I did find that the jungle were not jungles and the male was acherry aby and the female was a pc aby both suppose to be supers. I am waiting from Trey stowell to give me the name of who they were sold to and the definite genetics they were sold for.
Ok option 1 I send you what and what do i keep ?

Hi David.
Ok As part of the deal we said your 5 animals total were worth 2300.00 this was the 2 jungles, sunglow jungle, 2 female het lipstick hypos.
Each of the following options would make us even off which ever one you
choose. each of them I am valueing at 2300.00 to 2500.00+ Due to the hypo mots poss het snow not on the market yet. ( that I have seen )
Option 1 for you
1 Coral lipstick jungle male ( you already have )

I send you the male hypo mot poss het snow.2011
Option 2
1 Coral lipstick jungle male ( you already have )
1 male hypo mot poss het snow 2011
1.1 pr mot poss het snow 2011
Option 3
1 Coral lipstick jungle male ( you already have )
1 male hypo mot poss het snow 2011
1 female mot poss het snow
1 over the next month to month and a half I get you a Ghost het albino or a anery het albino. Either or being female.

The reason so specific was because he felt that we should have equal snakes going out and I have to explain trade value and I let him tell me the value for his animals to make sure we are on the same page.

Rich - rather than clutter up this thread any further with your off topic dispute, I have initiated a thread in the Fauna Feedback Forum. You have been PMed a link
Actually, I believe you are throwing yourself to the dogs, and I simply decline to try to stop you.
Yes, I found your PayPal eCheck using the transaction ID. Sorry, but since the name and email address you use here do not match what is on the Paypal transaction, there was no easy way to associate it with your member name on this site by using any search function. I checked the transaction log here on this site as well as all of the email notices I receive of payments and there were NO matches. In any event, I have declined the payment so you are free and clear to exit the stage as you have indicated you desire to do.

He contacted me about my available boas, I seen this thread and emailed him a link to it. He replied and has said that he will be on here tonight after work and after his girls are in bed to give his side of the story.
OK He knew I was posting because of the last threat and me telling him to not contact me again because of it. we will see what he has to say. I have emails and text messages to back eeverything if it comes to my word and reputation.
You spelled the name wrong in the title: David Zackary
He also goes by lipstick1976 on redtailboas.com and his location there is also dallas TX.
