• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

She is selling hedgehogs through UPS.  She claims she sends them as "bonzai" trees and they ship safe and cheap.  Sounds too good to be true.  Does anybody know her and what experiences have you had?  Thanx Vinny (OFF THE ARK)
 
1) You need to post using your full name, even though this is just an inquiry.

2) Try doing a search on Carrie Waters, and you'll see that she is not a person that you would want to deal with.


She's shipped a gaboon viper via UPS. Now, if that wasn't bad enough, she shipped it to MN while temps were below freezing, with one heat pack and no styro liner in the box. Furthermore, the gabbie was in a deli cup, with just a rubber band holding the lid on.

There's other info about her on the board- none of it good.
 
Just to clarify what the "other info" entails...

It has been alleged that she and her husband have attempted to scam folks by giving them a tracking # for an express mail package (to show that payment was sent), and asking them to send the animals befor payment arrived, as they can only receive during a very limited time frame. As the story goes, the tracking number is valid, but not for a package sent to the seller. It is for an item mailed to a friend.

True or not, I can't say. Either way though, I wouldn't deal with someone who shows no regard for the animals that she ships, or the safety of persons that come in contact with packages that she ships.

Did I mention the email addy you provided for her is the third one mentioned on this board that she conducts business under?
