    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....

Also now looking for 1.1 pair of Eyelash Vipers.
 
I can not believe I have to post this lol

Please no Venomoids. I will not purchase or sell them. No matter who made them. Thank You.
 
What is a venomoid? I am looking for some copperheads do you know anyone selling in Virginia?
 
Not sure who is selling Copperheads in your area. I may have a few for sale out o the personal collection. They are all souterns. But I will be at the Lansing Michigan hot show and the Jackson Ohio Hot Show.

A Venomoid is a venomous snake that has had the duct or gland removed. Many are done by nonvets. There is one vet I know that does this but I still do not agree with it. All I can do is not buy or sell them.

Thanks for the post
 
If you don't know what a venomoid is you probably shouldn't be getting venomous snakes. If you had done any research at all you would know the answer to most Hot questions.
 
OK kool thanks for the Info. I agree will you taking the glands is like taking our saliva glands. IT's inmoral and inhumane. If you do hear anything about copperheads please let me know I am looking very hard for some. Thanks again. BTW I work at a Zoo, the Reptile House to be more specific and I have never heard of venomoids. I would have looked it up but figured I would ask instead.

You should read more about venomous snakes and copperheads before you purchase one. Working at a Zoo doesn't mean you know everything. Although I respect opinions regarding venomoids, I find it difficult to believe that someone who knows about venomous had never heard about venomoids. Please do your homework on copperheads before buying one. Ask GaryO. He knows a lot about reptiles.
 
I Understand what you are saying. Copperheads are one of the species we work with and none of our snake are venomoids. I have heard of people removing the Glands and what not but honestly didn't know that vemonoid was the name given. Well thanks for the info and I will take your advise to heart.
 
Ok back to the topic lol

I am still loking for venomous. Just shoot me an email with list and price

[email protected]

If you are in Ohio/Michigan I can probably pick them up.

I will look at anything. Also thanks to everyone that has helped me out here. Very very nice animals be offered to me and even bought by me! Thanks again.
